Wherever they perform, in the United States and in Canada, the NSC under the direction of Margit Roma and husband produc er Clerence Ricklefs has received similar reviews.
Twenty-five actors and actresses, both black and white, comprise the company's repertory who bring to life Shakespeare's happy blend of romance and realism. Puck is an outrage, Bottom a buffon. The lovers appear as crazed sprinters in mad pursuit of each other. In an attempt to make their plays more relevant, NSC actors add contemporary peace signs, clenched fists and hip jargon. Generally though, they neither sanctify nor bastardize the archaic language. They honor the text, cutting almost nothing. Seating capacity is limited. Accord ing to Dr. Theodore Kilman, director of continuing education and community services, only 200 tickets will be sold by the Speech and Theater Arts Department. Admission is $1.

Peacock's Paloma plan progresses By Leeayn Chapman A landmark on California's coastline for 45 years now, La Paloma may soon be a name familiar to everyone. La Paloma, built in 1926, before Encinitas even had street lights, is Instructor Richard Peacock's and friend Mark Dean's latest project. The building, which was most recently used as the Surfboards Hawaii s hop, is being restored by Peacock and Dean to be opened as a gathering place for people of all ages the day after Thanksgiving. Mark Dean, a blond, shaggy-haired guy of 23, is the leasee of La Paloma. He originally hails from Coronado, but is presently living in the apartment on the top floor of La Paloma with his wife. Peacock and Dean have been working for five months to restore the old build-

ing and turn it into what they hope will be the new gathering center for San Diego County. An old Spanish building, the magnificent building's atmosphere and beauty has been almost completely hidden for the last 10 years. The main part of the building is the La Paloma theater itself. The large double doors open into what will be, upon completion, a huge lobby, dimly lit, with plenty of atmosphere left from 1926. As you walk down the hall, the theater and stage is to your right. When you walk into the theater area itself, the fantastic old Babylonian-Aztec architecture that was popular in that era just jumps out at you and demands to be looked at. Since the lights are so very dim, the further you walk into the seating area of the theater, the more you feel like you're going back in time, almost

of this New Shakespeare Company: "The Bard as bawd, as movement, passion, where his characters become primitive and sensual, where havoc is the only order. The old Shakespeare, the way they performed him in England back in the 1590's, the way they've never performed him again till now."
Miss Roma's artistic leadership of the NSC is based on thirty years of international theatrical experience. In the United States she is best known as a director and teacher.

back to Aug. 28, 1926, when the theater •originally opened. When you get down by the stage and turn around to see where you've been, you see the projection rooms. Only these aren't the ordinary projection rooms you see nowadays. This has a whole balcony in front of it. "In the near future," says Peacock, "we hope to use that balcony for part of our indoor-outdoor restaurant." When comple ted, it will seat 400 people seated on upholstered bench seats, complete with arm rests and backs. Looking ahead, Peacock and Dean plan to show movies on Mondays through Thursdays. They want to show movies a long lines of foreign art, contemporary, and classic films. Peacock said they would also like to show movies (Continued on page 2)

Chimnos attend state conference How MECHA wants to function with the Raza Unida Party was the purpose of a statewide conference at Stanford Universtiy November 12 and 14. La Raza Unida is a new political party being organized by Chicanos to help better themselves socially, economically and politically. In the past other political parties have insured Chicano votes with the promise of upgrading the barrios, education, etc ., but never carried them through. Chicanos decided if they establis hed their own party they would strive to change those areas which need improvement more effectively and efficiently. The fact that if the majority of the Chicano •Citizens from the Southwest were registered in La Raza Unida, 200 e lectoral votes could be controlled in the Presidential campaign was pointed out by a representative. Workshops on strategies, voting registration, communications, organizing tactics, fund raising and other issues were offered to the students present who came from all of California. Students attending from Palomar included Carlos Encinas, Pedro Sanchez, Alex Gonzalez, Rosa Castenada, Lupita Encinas, Terry Orosco , Shorty Orosco, !sable Sanchez, Rosela Del Castillo and Paul Jacques, advisor.

IKane' appears in P-32 tonight "Citizen Kane", Orson Welles• 1941 picturi zation of newspaper tycoon, will be shown tonight at 7 p.m. and tomorrow at 1 p.m. in P-32 as the fifth film in the "History of the American Film" series. The story , patterned in part after William Randolph Hearst, "Citizen Kane' was one of the most creative films of its time. Produced, directed, written partially, and starred in by Orson Welles, "Citizen Kane" was counted among the best films of all time. It is the story of Charles Foster Kane, with glimpses into his persona l life through the eyes of five people who knew him and a "march of time" style newsreel. Kane is driven to voluntary exile, but is never discovered why. Technically, •Citizen Kane" is a virtuoso piece. The camera-work features wide-angle shots with a pan focus which permits both foreground and background to be in focus. Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, and Agnes Moorehead are just a few of the personalities starring in "Citizen Kane."
