Active integration obiective of resolution Palomar College took a step toward a more integrated faculty and staff last week with introduction of an Affirmative Action Program resolution by Mr. Paul Jacques, chairman of the Ad Hoc Affirmative Action committee. Affirmative Action has been initiated by both federal legislation and executive orders demanding an active attempt to end discrimination in all establishments receiving funds or grants. It was pointed out that Palomar College is subject to the terms of certain fed e ral and state documents and agencies including HEW and FEPC. Allofwhichbearonthequestion of affirmative action and equal opportunity employment.
Jacques introduced the resolution at the Faculty Senate meeting last Monday by stating, that the committee had been meeting and had compiled a substantial amount of imformation on Equal Employment Opportunity laws and contracts relating to Government contractors and sub- contractors. All universities and colleges receiving federal money are included ·and bound by these laws. One of our immediate objectives was to develop a resolution which would take into account this imformation which we have compiled. The resolution entitled "Affirmative Action Resolution No. 1". The resolution went to state that such affirmative action programs are expect-
ed to "incorporate special efforts to reach minorities and women." It stated its purpose as being to study and recommend to the Faculty Senate ways and means of achieving a more throughly integrated faculty and administration at the college. The resolution was l ater presented at the Tuesday Board of Governors meeting for imformation. General reaction of the Board was that they wanted to make that this resolution would by ''creating equality not create inequality" in other areas. Jacques explained, "The purpose for presenting the resolution to the Faculty Senate by the Affirmative Action Adhoc Committee was to ( 1) Get official Sen-

ASG discusses
graduation needs What will students need In the future to graduate from Palomar? That was the main question on the minds of the ASG at their abbreviated meeting this week. Following a lead from a previous meeting, representative Mike O'Connell reported on his visit to MiraCosta College investigating the matter of the American Institutions requirement. According to O'Connell, the school retains therequirement, but with a "more liberal policy" overall. Representative Stan Flores opened general discussion by suggesting that Palomar "follow this new law (concerning required courses) as liberally as possible." However, there was no discussion of this, it was pointed out, at the Curriculum Committee's last meeting. What the committee did do was adopt what was described as a new class in '•Creative Approaches.'' O'Connell described the answer he received from Dean Charles Coutts, acting dean of instructing, in response to a question about the requirement problem as "ridiculous." Chairman John Glenn had the final say on the matter, saying that the district had "only handed down broad guidelines" with regard to the new ruling. Glenn called for further investigation, stating that he "hoped they (the committee) aren't sneaking around behind our back. Unless the students show petition interest . . . (they'll) end up with the whole schmeer again." Also on the agenda were the upcoming Californa Community College Student Government Association (CCCSGA) convention and further plans from vicepresident Steve Miller about paying student officers. Finally, Steve Miller introduced his two plans for payment of officers. One would give a payment, undisclosed by Miller, to everyone elected and the chief Judicial Advocate. The other plan would spread out $4,435 in this manner: $50 a month to the president, $30 a month to the vice-president and treasurer and $25 a month to all assembly members with an additional $25 a semester to the book store. According to Miller, treasurer Terri Miles projects "adequate funds" for the project.

ate approval to continue studying all of the laws and data regarding Affirmative Action Programs and to come up with specific recommendations to the Senate and to the Board. (2) To · put further emphasis on recruitment of minorities and women immediately in light of the faculty positions now available for next year '72-73." Frederick Huber, college president, pointed out that the Governing Board had already adopted on December of 1969 a general policy designed to foster the principle of equal opportunity in faculty and classified staff recruitment at the college. He further remarked that, "The college has operated as an equal opportun-
ity employer. Furthermore, we have made a very specific effort to foster whole principles of equal opportunity employment. I view Affirmative Action as a step taken from this policy. " Jacques further emphasized that, "In order to recruit qualified or aqualifiable staff, the school must remember that the usual channels are insufficeint for recruitment of minorities and women. A documented effort must be made through other channels such as WEAL, Womens Equity Action League, Chicano Federation, CIEA, Californai Indian Education Association etc.'' "This resolution was not inteded to imply that the Administration has not made any effort," he clarified.

Dr. Frederick R. Huber, college president, said, "I am glad to join with the Patrons to add the invitation of the administration and staff to visit Palomar. The public is always welcom e to this campus, but all citizens, and especially the parents of our students, are urged to inspect their community college during this special open house program." Charles A. Coutts, acting dean of instruction, said practically all major departments may be seen "in action," and the open house visitors will be able to view "a real cross-section of the entire educational processes at work." Some of the special displays and demonstrations prepared for the afternoon campus tours include: Demonstrations of computers, with each visitor having an opportunity to receive a computer-printed "Welcome to the Open House," with his name. All types of media operating in the Learning Resources Center, featuring video taped television interviews for instant playback, and various filmstrips with sound and sound-slide presentations.

Peacock presents 'Privilege' in P-32 ''Acidly anti-establishment.'' That's how "Playboy" describes "Privilege," film instructor Dick Peacock's next movie for his film studies class next week. Directed by Peter Watkins and starring Paul Jones (who used to sing with Manfred Mann), this is just "one of those good old-fashioned movies." "Privilege" does not try to glamorize or mysticize the world of stardom. It's the story of a pop singer who makes it big but is mercilessly exploited in the process. Model Jean Shrimpton makes her acting debut as Jones' sympathetic artist friend who tries to save him. "Privilege" will be shown Wednesday at 7 p.m. in P-32 and again on Thursday at 1 p.m.
