COST IS CONTROVERSIAL

Lab stirs Newly elected ASG members sat in on last Monday's meeting, their first, and helped cover a wide range of topics and issues.

The meeting took place without a trace of last semester's divisive debates despite some admitted unsureness on the part of assembly chairman John Glenn.

Applicants for nursing accepted until tomorrow Prospective applicants for the twoyear nursing program here are urged to apply before the March 15 deadline, says Donna A. Casey, Nursing Department chairman. Applications are available in the nursing office.

Miss Casey, currently in the process of screening applications, noted that there are usually 150 app li cants for about 45 places in the c lass. Chemistry, algebra, and a 2.5 grade point average are among the prerequisites for the course, Miss Casey added.

The nursing students gain actual hos pital expe ri e nce through training at TriCity and Palomar Hospitals , and the Public Health Department. At the end of the two-year program, the students have an AA degree in nursing and are e ligible to take the state board exam to receive the HN license.

Charles A. CouHs

named ading dean Charles :\. Coutts, assistant dean of instruction in the division of science, technology and business, has been nam ed acti ng dean of instruction for the spring semester.

Coutts will fill the post for that period during the absence of Dean of Instruction Virgil L. Bergman on sabbatical leave.

The appointment of Coutts to the post was made at a session of the college governing board January 11. bean Coutts, a retired l.S. Navy captain, has been on the Palomar faculty since 1946.

Stull to speak Friday State Assemblyman John Stull (R-Leu- · cadia) will be guest speaker March 17 at a combined session of two political science classes at Palomar College.

Duncan McGilvray, instructor in political science and economics, who announced Stull's scheduled visit to the campus, said other students and the public are invited.

He said Stull's talk on "State Politics in 1972" will begin at ll a.m. in room P-32.

ASG debate

Mai.n discussions centered around the funding of the Child Development Learning Laboratory (formerly called the Day Care Center). According to Glenn, Dr. Theodore Kilman, dean of Continuing Education and Community Services, has said that the school "can't go ahead with the. . . Center" as such, due to state laws. However, it will continue with a more appropriate title.

FUNDING QUESTIONED President Bob Garvin opened discussion on funding by conjecturing that "whatever is left unexpended in the student government budget at the end of the year" might go to the center. The initial funding, according to Garvin, ''does not pay to keep the thing running from year to year. There are some items that have not been spent and probably will not be."

However, Glenn argued that it "may not be necessary to use student funds."

After this, representative Stan Flores moved to have a committee investigate the center's funding. The motion was approved.

ASSIGNMENTS HANDED OUT The next order of business was the handing out of Special Interest assignments.

The list follows: athletics, Dave Edgar: business, Michael Loutzenhiser: creative arts, Jim Fahrnkopf; graphic arts, Vic Hernan; multi-cultural, Terry Serrato; performing arts, Stan Flores: sciences, Kathy Ligon; vocational, Skip Panthen; Humanities, John Glenn; and social sciences, !llichael O'Connell.

In other business, Stan Flores brought up an idea forwarded by Dr . Fredrick Huper, president of Palomar, that the .-\SG set up a "Hot Line" counseling service.

Glenn asked that the action be delayed until a straw vote of the assembly can be taken.

Federal Work-Study program gets funds Palomar has just been approved to receive an additional S20,000 in Federal College Work-Study funds. These funds will have to be utilized by June 30.

This program is designed to promote the part-time employment of students from low-income families who are in need of earnings from such employment to stay in school.

Students corning from families whose gross income is 89,000 or less would probably be eligible for such assistance.

Students may work up to 15 hours per week at $180 per hour ..

Students who need financial assistance may fill out application forms available in the Financial Aids Office on campus.

Dean Bowman revealed that the speed bumps will be r eplaced by a series of eight strategically placed stop signs, rather than rumble strips, and it was announced that Palomar student Torn Yamaguchi will run for the San Marcos City Council.

With that, the meeting was adjourned.

President Richard M. Nixon and Senator George McGovern (D-SD) scored resounding victories for their respective parties in last week's Democratic Club "Mock" primary e lection.

169 votes were cast in the two day election which was deemed successful by club president Kent Fairchild. The outpouring of support for the cand id ates extended outside the campus as San Diego Muskie headquarters sent out a youth workers delegation.

Breakdown of the votes goes as follows: Democratic-- McGovern-41, Sen. Muskie-18, Rep. Shirley Chisholm-13, Mayor John Lindsay-12, former Sen. Eugene McCarthy-eight, Sen. Hubert Humphrey-four, Mayor Sam Yorty-three Sen. Henry Jackson-one and Sen. Vance Hartke- none.

Among write-ins there was one student write-in, three for Sen. Edward Kennedy and one for consumer advocate Ralph Nader. A total of 105 ballots were cast on the Democratic side.

Republican--President Nixon-47 (leading vote getter overall), Rep. Paul McCloskey and Rep. John Ashbrook-seven apiece. Write-ins: Sen. Margaret Chase Smith-one, Nader-one and judicial advocate John Higdon-one.

A total of 64 Republican votes were cast.

The Democratic side had the most reaction to the vote. Muskie workers called it "no surprise," while McGovern workers credited " early organization" as their key to victory.

Dancers to attend State workshop Kim Eckert, Carolee Kent, Sue Rutherford, Russ Gandee, and dance instructor Billie Hutchings will be attending a workshop in dance this month.

Murray Louis, a well-known name in dance, will be teaching the workshop at San Diego State on March 17 and 18.

Louis is a major dancer with Alvin Nikolais and is now co-director with Nikolai& at his New York School. Louis has performed extensively in the United States and around the world. Some of his performances were sponsored bythe

State Department, including one throughout India.

Louis is known as an exponent of the avant-garde in modern dance.

Mrs. Eckert and Gandee are being sponsored by the Association of the Performing Artists of the Dance of Palomar College.

They were chosed for this honor because of their outstanding work in dance.

All four of the s tudents attending this workshop will be performing in Palomar's dance concert in May.

students, and the cast members seem to like it.

According to Kim Eckert, who plays Alais, Ashbrook is "such a dynamic character, that he could play any role superbl y."

"But," she added, "his performance doesn't detract from the other characters . Everyone in the play is in character," she said. "There are no minor roles."

Ashbrook agrees. ''The cast members have all had previous training,'' he said, "and every character is as strong as the next.''

The cast in themselves are quite interesting, aside from the characters they play.

Jill Moore, who plays Eleanor, Henry's wife, has been in previous plays at Palomar.

She participates in drama because of her great interest for it, but her major course of study is languages.

HIGDON ROLE VIEWED Kim Eckert, is Alais, the mistress ()f Henry. She is involved in both drama and music, but her main interests lie in theater dance. She would like to, in the future, do choreography for musicals. Kim added she e njoys the theater too, but says she needs all the experience s he can get in both fields.

Richard the Lionhearted is portrayed

by Thad Geer. He has been in numerous plays and has appeared on TV. Most recently he appeared on a segment of "Bewitched."

John Higdon plays Geoffrey, son of Henry.

His part calls for a cold and calculating personality, and to look at John's husky build, and dark, almost forboding features, one might say he almost fits the character he portrays.

John has, been in previous plays staged at Palomar, including "The Wizard of Oz" and "Dark of the Moon." He is a drama major.

Steve Phelps, who plays the immature son of Henry II, John, has been involved in drama since the beginning of high school and has had a background portraying the more strong characters.

PLAY BASED ON HISTORY Phillip, King of France, is played by John Sowell.

John is originally from Spain, and has a bit of an accent which adds an effective touch. John is active on the Speech Team where he has won awards.

The play itself is an historical account of the political maneuvering of the French and English kings in ll83.

It also involves the conflicts of Henry and wife Eleanor as to the heir to the throne. Eleanor wants her son Richard, and Henry wants their other son John to succeed him. The play evolves around these conflicts.

Although the people in the play and their characters are consistent with the facts, they remain fictitious. The play contains anachronisms in speech, thought, and custom, which couldn't be historically traced, but add flavor and authenticity to the production.

Baia trip offers vacation credit For those who would like to go island hopping and academically profit by it, an opportunity awaits this Easter vacation.

The most successful expedition to Baja California taken by 30 Palomar students during Christmas will be repeated the 26th of March.

For only 8225 , two units of academic credit in the life sciences division and an enjoyable vacation are offered to 30 more students who wish to do more with their time thanspenditlollingonthe beach or even working on term papers.

For six days, students will be observing the various wildlife environments of East San Benito Island, San Martin Island, and Scammon Lagoon. The excursion will he taken ahoard an 80-foot luxury sport-fishing vessel from H&:\1 Landing in San Diego.

This may possibly be the last time a boat will enter Scammon Lagoon to observe the breeding of the California gray whale, since the :Vlexican government has declared the lagoon a sanctuary and soon will prohibit boats from entering, Dennis Bostic, Palomar life science instructor, will be leading the expedition, as he did previously during Christmas vacation. Lester Knapp will be accompanying him as Marin~ Biology instructor.

"I think that the excitement of a trip such as this speaks for itself in that five students who went on the last one will go again this time. I'm sure it will prove to be an exciting and

exhilarating experience ,' • said Bostic.

Students are encouraged to send in their reservations as soon as possible, as there are only six openings left.

colonies will also be seen.

From San Martin, the expedition will return to San Diego.

Departing from Pt. Lorna at 8 a.m. on the 26th, the first day will be spend en route to East San Benito Islands.

Lectures dealing with observed marine mammals and birds will be given. A special point of interest for the entire trip is the night-time bioluminescent display observed when aggravation of the micro-organisms occurs.

The crew and captain of the H&M 80 are reputed to be the finest of any Baja California charter service, having over 50 years of cumulative experience in these waters.

On East San Benito, elephant seals, sea lions, marine birds and killer whales will be observed. The endangered marine bird of prey, the osprey, abounds on these islands and will also be seen.

Approximately three days will be spent inside Scammon Lagoon and its various islands for observation of marine life and particularly gray whales.

The Christmas expedition found the salt marshes and sand dunes of the area especially Intriguing. ~tudents of that trip were excited with the discovery of several marine "treasures," odd assortments of seashells, driftwood and other beachcombing delights. For those students who may wish to stay on s hore at night, there will be optional overnight camping.

Leaving Scammon, the next stop will be San Martin, a volcanic island that hosts a large harbor seal colony and a small Mexican fishing village. Climbing California sea lions, marine invertebrates, reptiles, and large pelican

The vessel is fully carpeted, staterooms equipped with freshwater basins and noted excellence in the meals served.

It is Coast Guard inspected and safetyequipped to meet any emergency.

"The title of this course is 'Regional Field Studies in Natural History,' Biology 99," said Bostic. "There are no prerequisites.

It is open to all who value nature and would like to become an . integral part of a natural and unspoiled e nvironm ent. ''

A myth

•

IS

"What is a Chicano? A Chicano is a Mexican American with a non-Anglo image of himself.

"He resents being told Columbus 'discovered' America when the Chicano ancestors, the Mayans and the Aztecs, founded highly sophisticated civilizations centuries before Spain financed the Italian explorers trip to the "New World. ''Chicanos resent also Anglo pronouncements that Chicanos are 'culturally deprived' or that the fact that they speak Spanish is a problem. . .Chicanos, then are merely fighting to become "Americans", Yes, but with a Chicano outlook."

Ruben Salazar A greatly accepted myth many people have been adhering to is the statement that Chicanos are culturally deprived.

Perhaps the first person to ever challenge that generalization publically was the late newspaper reporter Ruben Salazar in his editorial "What ·is a Chicano?''

Anglos, through their mono-cultured perspective, have assumed Chicanos are culturally deprived because of their geographical and psychological position in society. That is, a Chicano is born in the United States of Mexican parents.

Thus, he simultaneously matures to the educational and moral beliefs of two cuitures in two different languages.

The humanities should, therefore, be regarded as the intellectual activities which help individuals deal with these questions and which help them define their relationship to themselves and their society.

According to the Act establishing the e ndowment , the humanities include, but are not limited to, the following fields: his tory, philosophy, languages, linguistics, literature, archaeology, jurisprudence, history and criticism of the arts,

YOU

Because his early education is received at home, the Mexican culture plays an important role in his psychological attitudes. However, when he begins school, starts learning English and interacting and relating to schoolmates, his psychological outlook becomes confused.

This confusion may cause not only the sociological problems of adjusting in between two cultures, but the psychological problem of identifying with a particular people.

What do you call it when you have the opportunity to work at a part-time job and receive both pay and college credit for your work?

You might call it luck. At Palomar, however, it's more commonly called Work Experience.

Palomar's Work Experience program is entering its seventh year under the administration of Director Robert J. Kuretich, and student demand for the program has increased dramatically.

Prior to 1970, less than 100 students were enrolled in the program; today that number has expanded to over 600.

"Work Experience is part of the .student's total college program here," explained Kuretich. "Most certificate and vocational AA degrees require Work Experience as a prerequisite prior to completion of the specific vocational program."

The Work Experience program is divided into two areas--general and vocational. According to Kuretich, General Work Experience is for "students working outside their occupational career goals.'' A student may earn up to three units of General Work Experience credit per semester for a maximum of six units during his college career.

Vocational Work Experience, on the other hand, is for students working in their career or occupational goal. Students in this program may earn as many as four units each semester and up to 16 units during college.

"One of the goals of the program is to provide for the instruction of students in the skills, attitudes and understandings necessary for successful employment," Kuretich commented.

A Work Experience coordinatingclass may discuss such topics as choice of occupation, employee information, job application, human relations, and appearance and personality development as it relates to employment in the vocational field.

Another goal of the program, Kuretich said, is "to coordinate the college and the community in the sharing of responsibility for on-the-job training and supervision of students."

So that the Work Experience program will not fall short of these goals, three coordinators, Ed Stroot, Robert Lent and Carl Iserman, work in cooperation with the student employee and his supervisor. They coordinate the job and educational · activities of the student by traveling to each place of employment to make an on-the-job observation of each student, and to consult with both student and employer.

According to Kuretich, unemployed students need not feel ineligible for Work Experience programs. "The Work Experience coordinators, Palomar instructional staff and the student placement office will assist unemployed students in obtaining jobs," Kuretich said.

So, for students who want to find a job, participate in a worthwhile, accredited program, and perhaps pursu,e a vocational goal all at the same time, the Work Experience Department "puts it all together."

Anglos can only see this much of the situation.

They find it difficult to understand the Chicano theory that the term "culturally deprived" is indeed a myth and instead, accept the substitute term "culturally enriched."

Chicanos can see the advantage of belonging and understanding two cultures. Being bilingual is in most parts of the world a definite asset. To have insight and truly be able to see the "other guy's perspective" through culture is an experience few Anglos can boast of.

Being able to assimilate, know two languages, understand living in two cultures gives anyone a broader scope and depth in the workings of humanity.

Not only are Chicanos not ''culturally deprived" they are indeed "culturally enriched.''

Youth grants to subsidize proposals for Humanities Guidelines for Youth Grants in the Humanities are now available in the Palomar College office of Continuing Education.

Grants will be awarded periodically during 1972 by the National Endowment for the Humanities, Washington DC. The humanities comprise the family of knowledge that deals with what it has been--and is--to be human, to make value judgments, to select the wiser course of action. This is achieved primarily through the examinationofhuman experience and its implications for the present and future.

Because man's experience has been principally preserved through books, art works, and other cultural objects, the humanities are often defined in terms of specific academic disciplines; however, the concerns of the humanities extend, through the classroom and the library, to encompass a host of social, ethical, and cultural questions which all human beings confront throughout the course of their lives.

I WANT

Work programs money, combine college credit

ethics , comparative r e ligion, and those aspects of the social sciences employing a historical or philosophical approach to problems.

This latter category includes cultural anthropology, sociology, political theory, international relations, American minority cultural studies, anci other subjects concerned with value and nonquantitative matters.

To be eligible, however, a proposal need not focus on a specific field. Indeed, the endowment is particularly interested in receiving inter-disciplinary proposals for projects which address the values underlying American culture, or which attempt to put contemporary issues into a clear historical or philosophical context.

The National Council on the Humanities, which makes recommendations on applications submitted to the endowment, has announced that it will give priority to proposals which are concerned with human values as they bear on urbanization, minority problems, war, peace, foreign policy, problems of government decision, civil liberties, student and youth problems, and "the wider application of humanistic knowledge and insights to the general public interest.''

It must be emphasized, however, that the endowment can only support bona fide intellectual endeavors, and Youth Grants are designed to encourage similar ventures to those conducted by mere experienced professionals within the endowment's other programs of scholarly, educational, and public activity.

Those interested in learning more about Youth Grants may call Mr. E. R. Zevin at extension 214.

PEACOCK PRAISES PICTURES

Local film critic picks ten Judith Crist, Rex Reed, and Pauline Kael have nothing on film instructor Dick Peacock when it comes to the 10 best movies of the year.

Once again, Peacock ''laid 'em on us.''

Following are Peacock's "Ten Best" (in no order of preference) and his comments.

"Glen and Randa"--"This movie never did get to San Diego. It is Xrated, but doesn't deserve it. On one level, it is the most powerful ecology film yet made, on another, an unusual handling of a doomsday future."

"The Conformist"--"A very subtle investigation into a fascist mentality.

This is a period piece whose pace, color, and fashion blend into a seemless piece of art."

"A Clockwork Orange"--"A violent but honest work by Stanley Kubrick dealing with a future world without conscience.

It is flawed in parts by a lack of clear statement, but its sheer power makes it worth seeing."

"DEATH" IS BEAUTIFUL "Death in Venice"--"The most beautiful film of the year. Viscounti's color and use of music wash the screen in this extremely sensitive story of love and death.

The fashion designed is unparalleled in this movie.''

"Walkabout"--"Taken in the back country of Australia, this movie is very unusual. Somehow, it is able to credibly involve the viewer in a strange and simple love relationship between an aboriginne boy and a proper Australian school girl. The movie is filled with quiet messages to the 20th century."

"The Devils"--"A hypnotic masterpiece by Ken Russell, it wraps its audience visually and emotionally into the terror of another age.

By the very exaggeration of its images, the movie forces' us to re-experience the religious hysteria of the 17th century and by analogy makes clear some modern-day madness."

NEW DIRECTION SEEN "McCabe and Mrs. Miller"--"The story line is rather thin, but is compensated for by its location, photography and acting. The northwest has never been captured on film like this, with the film's grainy color filli ng the screen with green rain. It gives a new direction for the Cowboy picture."

"Joe Hill"--"The movie tells an interesting story and captures the United States at the turn of the century as few movies ever have.

It is unusual in that it was made by a Swedish company."

"Panic in Needle Park"--"An authentic movie about New York City. Some of the most outstanding acting this year.

It is a very tightly edited film, extremely well timed. When watching it, the shallowness of "Midnight Cowboy" and Hoffman's performance become evident." ' CINEMA DU ZAP' "The Last Picture Show"--"The movie has had a lot of buildup. It is an interesting idea, not unlike the Sherwood Anderson novel "Winesberg, Ohio," in that it follows a young boy through the initiations of life and in doing so focuses on a number of relationships in a small Texas town."

Peacock's opinions of Hollywood's 'slick' film-making techniques are as follows: "A negative &rend (actually a

formula) took over Hollywood the past year. For want of a better description, it might be called 'Cinema du Zap.,.

These movies ('The French Connection,' 'Straw Dogs,' 'Dirty Harry,' 'Diamonds are Forever,' etc.) are slick, finely edited films that manipulate their audiences by moving them from one violence to the next. ''The aggression is both physical and psychological and it never stops. They condition their audience to expect, then want, a spectacular gun shot blast, a car chase, or a severed arm, at rapid intervals. The frantic pace covers the faulty plots, unmotivated action, and weak characterization.

"In spite of this, good 'small' stories ('Desperate Characters,' 'Clair's Knee,' 'Sunday, Bloody Sunday,' 'The Go-Between') are still being made.

"Hollywood blindly stumbles on."

Club elections held PACE (Palomar Association for Children's Education), a club recently organized on campus, has e lected Bonnie Anderson as its president and Candi Kreeger as secretary-treasurer.

PACE is an organization for the student teachers of young children, and is open to students with an interest in child development.
