ASG
'floundering
By Dave Fetzer Visiting parliamentarian Ray Daniel's call for action on the part of the Student Assembly, Judiciary, and the ASG president was the highlight of Monday's Assembly meeting. ASG president Robert Garvin did not attend the meeti ng. As he put it, "I just didn't fee l like it." (ASG president is not required to attend Assembly meetings) . However, after hearing Ray Daniel, the Assembly felt li ke attacki ng Garvin. After the meeti ng was called to order the two vacant Assembly seats were quickly filled. Jim Fahrnkopf took over as Vocationa l arts representative and Steve Miller was elected as Athletics representative. Miller had earlier made an unsuccessful bid for the vice presidency in the recent elections . The first report was a brief followup to last week's ICC report by representative Gary Fokken. Fokken repor-
ted that they "are about half- way through (their) constitution. " When asked by chairman Torres how many club and organization constitutions the ICC had received, representative Fahrnkopf noted there were fourteen. Representative Camille Arrnstrongfollowed, reporting on her research into the matter of re - publication of the Insight magazine. She noted that $700 had been allotted in the budget for this project. A brief discussion ensued surrounding t he organization (or l ack of it) the last time the project was carried out. Representative Fahrnkopf sum med up the general feeling by saying, "It's a good idea but sornebody's got to get the thi ng together." Joe Stanford of the faculty described the project this way. "Nobody knew what was corning off. The way it was ha ndled, to be kind, I'd say was poor." Although not opposed himself, Stanford reiterated what he felt would be the faculty's position on the matter. "Some

members of the faculty , " he said,"their hair stands on end when you mention the word evaluation. " Finally, acting on Dave Ritters request, the matter was tabled until the next meeting. Since no executive council member was present, no report could be given on the state convention at Anaheim. Thus, the Assembly moved to further business . This set the stage for Daniel. It opened with Ritter asking Ray Daniel to talk about a student opinion poll he had drawn up as a class project. Daniel had wished for student government approval of the poll. However, he began by stating that the Student Assernl:!!Y_ _and the Executive council are ''floundering in semantics.'' Daniel called the Assembly's lack of business"indicative of a lack of things they want to do for the student welfare.'' He offered the poll as a means of finding out what students would like to have done. The matter was tabled pending further discussion.
semantics' Steve Miller and John Gle nn then held a brief discussion on a student housing survey being conducted by the Circle K club. After this , Ritter moved for adjournment. This was the spark Daniel needed . The motion was withdrawn and the floor was given to Daniel. He claimed that he didn't think "you're (the assem bly) doing what student government is supposed to. ' ' Daniel further stated that he "could sit down right now and make up two pages of things that should be of interest to the Assembly. " Suggesting how action can be taken, Daniel said "It takes a li ttle bit of independent thi nking. " The Assembly, in his words, should "attack wi th a positive attitude." When asked why he didn't stay in student government, he replied, "I chose to act as an interested student, throwing out li ttle spurs where I could.'' Representative Ritter then passed the buck to president Garvin for his lack

of action and chairman Torres along with the ICC for their " lack of push" on the matter of committees. He bemoaned the l ack of student activities . "We can't have too much student participation if there is nothing to participate in." Torres tried to instill some confidence in the Assembly by promising to "provide li nks with the Executive council and the Judiciary." As he put it, "It's not the issue, but what peop le think the issue is that is the problem." However , Steve Miller was not convinced. Referring to Garvin , he asked, "Why can't we do something if he is neglecting his duties? ' ' John Glenn t r ied vainly to bring up the housing issue again, but it was too late. As his parting thought, Daniel reminded the group "You don't have to wait for them (t he Judiciary) to tell you where to go and where not to go." With this to contemplate, the meeting was ad.iourned.

An exhibition of representative works of Paul Detle fsen, noted artist of "nostalgia" subjects and with a long career as a scenic effects artist in the motion picture industry, will make up the Decembe r show at the Dwight Boehm Gallery. For more than 20 years, Detlefsen "has been bringing back the youth of the old timers and providing today's youth glimpses of · what it was like in the old days," said Russ e ll Baldwin, member of the college art faculty and gallery director . A septagenarian, his style is best described in his own words as having "a complete disregard for technique, concentrating inste ad on realism, beauty and nostalgia." His efforts of late have been concentrated on representing very happy impressions of his own youth through such masterpieces as "The Old Apple Tree," which will be one of the paintings in the show; "The Village Blacksmith," and "The Old Swimming Hole." In all, 10 representative selections from Detlefsen's works will be shown. The artist, a native of Chicago, was born only three months before the turn of the century . He had a long c a reer, from 1921 through 1950, in Hollywood where he created som e of the outstanding pictorial illusions in many of the great motion pictures of the era . After two years of living in Hawaii, Detlefsen now resides in Rancho Santa Fe. Scenic effects and othe r art work he provided during his motion picture c a reer included assignments to such notable productions as "The Man in the Iron Mask," "Mark Twain," "Rhapsody in Blue," "Fountain Head."
