Res truc turin g of the ASG, upcom ing elections and approval of the stadiu m tax ove rrid e proposal we r e the mai n topics at thi s wee k' s ASG mee tin g. Afte r a brief discussi on of the Ope r a tion Sha r e tutori al project by projec t direc tor Sand y Stok es, r epresenta tive Stan F lores starte d a discussion on how the ASG can be s treamlined , so as to c ut down on cancell a tions due to a lack of a quoru m. F lore s proposed the me r ge r of the student assembly and the executive council. An alternative to thi s m e rge r would be , a ccording to Flore s, possibly lowe ring the s i ze of the asse mbly." No m a tter which propos al was app r oved, Flores asserte d that it was '' certainly our (the ASG) re s pons ibility to do s ome thing."
By a vote of three to one , the Boa rd of Gove rnors rejec ted pl ace me nt on the prim a r y ballot of the stadiu m tax override propos al. The vote was taken a t Wednes day night' s mee ting. In addition, a la te r motion to reopen the matte r di ed for lack of a sec ond . Board me mbe r Milo Shadl e c ast the lone " aye " vote . P e rson a l opini on is divid ed on the vote . ASG pre side nt Rob e rt Garvin said the vote "we nt the way I expec ted it would . . . the way I wanted it to go . " However, r epre s e ntative Ste ve Mille r c harged the boa rd with "playing politics" and "pass ing the r esponsibility off to s om eo ne e lse." The vote r s , he said, s hould be the "fina l judge " .
Need for Restru c turing
Rewriting "Unnece ssary" Howe ve r, pre sident Bob Garvin c alled rewriting the constitution "unnece s sar y, " claim ing tha t going ove r the docum ent with a red pencil would be Garvin al s o proposed that s uffi c ie nt. this ne w body be e lecte d to serve for one full year. This got the assembly on to the ma tter of e lections. Acting on a motion by r epresentative s Steve Mille r, the e lections we re moved to Tues da y and Wedne sd ay, February 29 and Ma rch 1st, from ll a.m. to 1 p.m . There will be ten na m e s on the ballot under the category of r epre sentative - a tlarge , tha nks to a propos al by r eprese ntative Becky Green. Howe ve r, a tenth candidate has yet to be found. These people, unlike the executive council, would run as a block on a yes or no basis. Each one e lected then would be give n his own special inte rest group to r epre sent. The r e would also be one repre s e ntative from the faculty. Asse mbly Membership Cut Thus, the ASG r e mains two bodies. The diffe rence is tha t the assembly has been cut to ll members. This matter completed, the group move d on to the matte r of the stadium proposal. According to Garvin, the assembly's opinion was asked for by Dr. Anton K. Simson, vice-pre sident of the Board of Governors . Immediate ly, the mood was judged to be unfavorable. So, Terri Miles moved that the ASG s end an unfavorable opinion on putting the proposal on the June primary ballot, yet not condemning the stadium itself. After various sugge stions of neutral positions and voting on the proposal approval and stadium approval separately, the vote was taken. The result was passage by a margin of nine to three with Dean Robert Bowman abstaining. Interestingly, two of the no votes were cast by representatives Miller and Edgar, who arrived late for the meeting.
Counselors offer student assistance Do you have a question about any of your classes, or the curriculum you are taking? On requirements for graduation? Any other questions?

If you wish extensive counseling, make a n appointment to see a counselor in the Counseling Center.

Treasurer · Terri Mile s concurred with F lores on the need for r estructuring, saying that, und e r the present sys tem , it is "ha r d to ge t to the r eal c rux of a ny dec is ion." In addition, Miles me ntioned tha t the "ll o'clock hour i s going to be phased out.'' Thus , an inc orporated body was propose d cutting the assembly down to jus t ll m e mbe r s . Miles a ls o asked for ''ve r y s tringe nt control ove r attendance '' under the new syste m . Also, it was discove r e d tha t this s yste m might r equire a na m e c hange and s om e trimming of the c onstitution, "like a one- pager," as the treasure r put it.

Ruth Clothie r, a P alom ar ins truc tor and coordinator of the Child Deve lopm e nt and T eac he r As sista nt program s . Because of work done by Mrs. Clothier and othe r instruc tors who have also r ecogni zed the long- standing need for a child ca r e fac ility , plans for the laboratory a r e e nte ring the final stage s and the laboratory itse lf may be com e a r eality a s soon as May of this year. In addition, a new course involving work in the laboratory will provide for the facility to be staffed largely by s tudents studying in the fi e ld of Child De velopm e nt. Thus the laboratory will becom e a le arning exp e rience for both the children and the s tud e nts , who will work under the s upe rvis ion of Mrs . Ele anor J. Heltze l, laboratory direc tor, and two permanent teache rs still to be hired . Mrs . Clothi e r expressed hopes that, with the stud e nts working in the laboratory , there will be a ratio of approximately one teache r to every five children . The laboratory itse lf will be open da ily for two three -hour ses sions, from 8 to ll a .m. and from 12 to 3 p.m. It will accommodate 30 c hildren, from three to

Proposal of a tax ove rrid e for an all-purpose stadium has c re a ted substantial debate on c ampus , both pro and c on. The pro s id e of the matter is held by Milt Le mme rm an, pre s ident of the Palo ma r Qua rte r back Club, originators of the idea. On Feb ru a r y 14, Le mm e rm an s poke befor e a s parsely atte nded m eeting of the ASG. In de scribing the purpos e of having s uc h a s tadium, Le mm e rman sta ted that it would " do a lot of t hings be side s be ing just a 12,000 seat bowl." The stadium would, in Le mm e rm an' s words , make "more people . . . awa r e of Palomar College . '' Vote r Knowledge Questioned Le mme rm an a sse rted that "community ide ntity to Palomar . . . is lacking." He de s c ri bed the projec t as an "ideal vehi c le to obtain many othe r fac ilities, more than adequate , and paid for." Que stions were then asked for from thos e assembled which s tarted a spirited de bate . Represe ntative James Fahrnkopf labe led Palomar' s lack of othe r big college characteristics , suc h as a stadium, as "unique." After a discussion by Lemm e rman, Fahrnkopf, and repres e ntative Dave Edgar on the matter of s chool spirit, parliame ntarian John Higdon chimed in. Higdon claimed that the stadium "would not necessarily set a precedent" for other facilities , as Lemmerman had claim ed. ASG president Robert Garvin then added the point that the voters are ''not going to know any more about voting on a stadium than on a new sump hole." Debate Drags Noting that the debate was s imply dragging on and on, Garvin invited Lemm e rman to the next meeting and asked for volu nteers to pass around a student poll on the matter. Meanwhile, THE TELESCOPE was conducting an unofficial poll of faculty opinion. Wha t was fou nd was for the most part opposition. At the last Faculty Senate m eeting those members present, led by instructor Frank Martinie, voted unanimously in opposition to the override. Martini e , speaking for the group as a who le, cited money and priotities as the main reasons for rejection. Priorities Noted
Jewelry, weaving in exhibits An exhibit of weaving by Susan Long and jewe lry by George Van Duinwyk is on display at the Dwight Boehm Gallery. The show will continue until March 3, from 8 to 5 Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p. m. Saturday. Miss Long, who in private life is Mrs. G.D. Durrant, wife of a Palomarfaculty m e mbe r, is showing the latest of her unusual weaving efforts-- woven shoes . She has done free -hand weaving on a do zen pairs of delapidated old shoes found in the desert near Alpi ne ,
Texas , whe re her husband was a college instructor before comi ng to Palom&.r. Van Duinwyk, currently working with John Prip, world-renowned silversmith at the Rhode Island school of Design, showed jewelry in a previous crafts exhibit at Boehm Gallery, and at the Pasadena Art Museum . His ex hibit includes 20 contemporary pieces, mostly necklaces, using semi -precious stones and silver. Palomar exhibits are open to the public without charge.
Another faculty member who has voiced his opposition to the matter was Willi am Bedford. In talking with The TELESCOPE r ecently, Bedford claimed that "there are lots of (ot her) things we need right now'' be sides the stadium and that the proposal would ''weaken our chance'' of receiving such necessities. Bedford also cited the public's "great r eluctance to pass tax overrides." When asked what priorities he would place first, Bedford said it "would be between · classrooms, an auditorium and library facilities." Yet, he said the "most important , possibly, would be studying facilities, " claiming that "parked cars" were about the extent of such.
