Difficulties dominate Assembly By Dave Fetzer Procedural problems and lively, lengthy debate highlighted last Monday's Student Assembly meeting. Unfortunately, when the smoke had cleared, very little had been accom plished. The mee ting started encouragingl y enough as all three of president Robert Garvin's choices to sit on a studentfaculty report committee were accepted unanimously. The members are Andrew Pentaleri, Men's Select; Jess Torres, assembly chairman; and treas urer Terri Miles. These three will report on the negotiations concerning the use of the ll a.m. hour in the future. Debate begins Debates and difficulties began with the discussion of president Garvin's six choices for the curriculum committee. Immediately, the fifteen voting members and those nominees present broke up into opposing factions . The main bone of contention was whether the six people represented a ll the students at Palomar, since four were mi -
nority group members. Some of the dialogue became increasingly heated and testy. While the faction opposing the six nominees fought for recognition and acceptance of its non-representatio n charge, president Garvin was fighting equally hard in favor of his choices. "Any student is qualified to represent all students," he stated, "no matter what their class interest." Then, one of the nominees, Amelia Calac, an Indian student, spoke up. "I came representing Palomar's student body," she shouted, "I refuse to be considered as just one portion." Besides her ASG activism, Ame lia is a lso active in school relations with the Pala Indians. Next, a motion was made that six people be selected from the ten special interest group representatives to serve on the committee, but further angry debate virtually killed the proposal. Garvin tried to downplay the immediate importance of the committee. As he put it, "the school is not going to collapse Thursday morning just because no one is at that meeting Wednesday afternoon.''
Finally, outgoing Judicial advocate Ray Daniel suggested a limit on the debate, which became pretty much selfimposed. Thus, the assembly voted for ratification, but that also failed. Representative John Higdon tried to sal vage the matter by having the assem bly vote separately on the suggested names, but that motion failed for lack of a ma.iority. Voting questioned
margin with one surprise, representative Higdon, one of the nominees, abstaining. Those approved are two unsuccessful presidential candidates, JC Heminger and Mario Rubalcaba, representative John Higdon, Paul Groves and Amelia Calac. Higdon resigns The final touch was provided when representative Higdon, since no member can hold more than one position in the ASG, resigned hi s post. This prompted Ray Daniel to point out that yesterday's meeting could not lega lly be held without twenty members in office. Howeve r, by this time everyone was too tired for further business, so c hairm an Torres announced that Garvin would try to have a new li st of names for the cur riculum committee by yesterday and that he wou ld take nominations for both a replacement for Higdon and the rules comm ittee. Torres ended the meeting by stat ing that there would be a meeting Thursday at which they would "start off fresh, with a new set of rules.' '
Then came the shocker. Ray Daniel pointed out to those assembled that "there was nothing in the Constitution on how to carry out votes" and that there would be the same mess in voting on the five nominees for Jud icial Advocates. Representative Higdon then pointed out if this s ituation was true about voting, then the first com mittee approval should be invalidated. Nothing more came of this, however. Representative Gary Fokken straightened out the voting matter by pointing out that a two-thirds vote of those present was all that was necessary in the case of Judicial Advocates. The five nominees were approved by that

An exhibition r eprese nting s ome of the major developm ents in Ame rican a rt fro m the turn of the century to the late forti es will be s hown a t the Boehm Galle r y beginning today and running through Nove mber 22. Ca lled " American P ainting: 19001950, " the coll ection of 29 pa intings is on loan from the IBM Corporation. At the beginning of this century most Ame rican a rtists painted in a natural style r eminis c ent of the Hudson Ri ve r School and other painte rs of an ear lier ge ne ration. But before the e nd of the first decade an art revolution had been starte d by such artists as Robe rt He nri, Eve rett Shinn, John Sloan, and George Luks, whose realistic unromanticized paintings of everyday urban life so shocked the public that thev were dubbed the Ash Can School. From then on there was constant change not only in subject matter, but in the introduction of a broad spectrum of styles and approaches to art, from a reinvigorated naturalism to various modes of expressionism and abstraction. The show is one of nine touring art exhibits and five touring science exhibits that IBM lends to museums, galle ries, colleges, universities and other cultural and educational institutions in more than 100 locations annually. It is open to the public free of charge from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, and 9 a .m. to 2 p.m. Saturday .

Garvin gives goals, plans for coming year By Rosela DelCastillo Removal of the speed bumps, the establishment of a day care center, and an equal basis with the administration are among newly elected ASG president Robert L. Garvin's goals. Winning by the very narrow margin of five votes, Garvin, a political sci ence major, felt there was "no excuse" for the unresponsiveness of the student body. "There are approximately 4, 000 students on the campus. And out of those 4, 000 only 400 voted. It has to be a c lose election if only five percent of those enrolled vote," Garvin said. Establishing a day care center on campus is Garvin's first self-imposed task as president. "We are depriving people who would otherwise be in school and aren't because they can't afford babysitters. Every community college except Palomar and Mira Costa has a day care center. Even Oceanside High School." Other objectives he will strive to achieve ~re instilling political interest in students and dealing with the administration on an equal basis. "I want to see the students and
speak to them anytime. I want to make use of the mike in the Student Union for various issues to obtain support fo r ideas I present concerning the students. For instance, we're going to s tart circulating petitions to remove the speed bumps and institute the day care center. And we need student support.'' "I'd also like to see the adminis tration and fa cu lty deal on an equal basis and on our own terms. Students should not be looked down upon because they are not united. They take advantage of us because of this." Garvin expressed a desire to have more student representation on school councils such as the Board of Governors and the Curriculum committee. "Students have no effective voting voice. Iwant to see more voting representation on these committees." Garvin also feels minority groups such as MECHA and UNA should play an active part in student government. "These students a r e not equipped to handle high positions because they have been deprived of their educational need s. By naming them on committees, I feel this will equip them to handle higher positions later on."
