New regulations to begin for Vets New regulations for VeteranAdministration Benefits for the 1972-1973 school year, including the summer semester beginning next month, have been announced by Robert L. Burton, dean of student personnel services. The regulations now require students wishing VA benefits to submit to the VA clerk proof of registration, classes obtained, veterans file number , benefits card and monthly attendance report. Benefit cards are available in the Admission office from the VA clerk. Cards must be renewed at the end of each semester, including the summer semester. If the card is not submitted at the beginning of the semester, it will be assumed that the student does not wish benefits for that semester. Monthly attendance reports are available from the VA clerk. Reports are required at the end of each calendar month. Cards must have one's instructor's signature and be returned by the twentieth day of each month. Failure to submit the card will result in termination of benefits. It is the veteran's responsibility to inform the VA clerk of any change in program, or termination of program may result.

"CCCSGA (California Community College Student Government Association) has been decaying for about two years." That was the word from ASG president Bob Garvin as he urged assembly approval of a propos al to withdraw from the statewide organization. At the urgi ng of Dean Robert Bowman, dean of student activities, Garvin approached the student assembly Monday with the plan. The major reason for pulling ou in Garvin's opinion was that CCCSGA has "overextended themselves financially." Bill payments are to be shared by the member colleges and Garvin noted that Palomar "might get rapped (for) $1500'' as its share . The question now befor e the group was if Palomar pulls out, what alternative does it have? Garvin's s uggestion was to join a newly-formed San Diego County corporation of colleges, which was formed by the pullout of the Area One group of colleges from this area. The
Block carvings on display High School to be now on Patron's Patio wall topic of speaker Something new has been added. Twe nty-four plaster carvings are now on permanent display at the southeast side of the Patron's Patio (west of the admi nistration building). The work is a cooperative effort of John Barlow's Design II class. Barlow chose 12" x 12" plaster blocks because they would provide 'a kind of transition between graphic expression and in-the-round form." After the students had completed their part of the project, Barlow set out to find a permanent display area. The
Patrons of Palomar agreed to finance a redwood display grid for the blocks. Artists include Steve Skarda, Paulette Pratschner, Noel Myers , Mark Brock, Madeline Grauman, Holly McCone, Elyse Sanskey, Rebecca Wright, Frank Puccio, Virginia Pierce, Jane Miera, Margaret Howard, Gary Carvajal, Prem Anklesaria, Dave Skelley, Pam Allen, Tina Kowalski, Pablo Barrera, Maureen Durbin, Sandy Miller, Ron Lightfoot, and Karl Adelman. Two artists have not yet been identified .
"Today's High School: Of What Value?" will be the topic of alecture by Mrs. Suzanne Emery, noted educator and journalist. The lecture, to be given May 11 at 7:30 p.m. in Room P--32, is the third in a series sponsored by the Community Services Division of Palomar entitled "The School Experience: A Variety of Views." The public is invited to this and all further lectures in the series.
new group is to be known as the Southern California Community College Student Government Assoc iation. Area One's pullout was just part of a trend that, accordi ng to Garvin's figures, has seen CCCSGA ' s membership drop from 94 to 71 schools, and Garvin projected a drop to 60 members by the e nd of this summer. At this point, chairman John Glenn suggested that discussion on the issue be tabled until a later date . However, representative Vic Heman angrily objected, saying "I know what I want to do" and moved for withdrawal. His motion received further support as treasurer Terri Miles noted that withdrawal has been asked for by the faculty. With Garvin giving it an additional push, Heman's motion was passed. Coupled with this motion and Garvin's proj ection of a further membership drop is Garvin's noting that there are curre ntly about 140 community colleges in California. If projections prove true , less than half will be CCCSGA members come next fall. In other business, treasurer Terri Miles re-opened the issue of the Insight teacher evaluation project. Showi ng UCLA's evaluation plan as an example ("real cheap printout which I think is valuable"), Miles pressed for and r eceived approval of her plan. Finally, the matter of a student counseling service was agai n discussed. Representative Stan Flores noted that Dr. Frederick R. Huber, president of Palomar, has approved the idea of renting a trailer for use as a facility for the project. May 30 and 31• have been tentatively set as the dates for the upcoming Executive Council elections. All five positions on the council (president, vice-president, treasurer, and mens' and women's select) are open. The filing deadline with the dean of student activities office is set at May 15.
HOPES TO PLAY GOLF
'Gardener Gus' retires after six years by Tony Borders Anybody wishing to sell a set of lefthanded golf clubs should contact Gus Claus, he is going to take up golf when he retires this semester, after six years at the college. What does he do? Gus is that man wearing the safari hat driving the bright orange cart, or officially known as gardener of Palomar. Retirement is probably the wrong word to use as Gus still plans to work three or four days a week at various gardening jobs, after leaving Palomar. "I don't plan to stop everything just because I've retired. I've seen too many people do that, and that's when they start to feel old. I hope to just keep right on working right now, and then I will probably do a little fishing," commented the gardener. Living in the country for most of his childhood Gus has always liked being outdoors. He resided in Colorado for awhile, then at age nine he moved to the Midwest to live with relatives. "That's where I got my first taste of gardening, pulling weeds in the corn fields. I suppose I was like most kids today, I would have much rather have laid in the sun than pull those weeds." Gus became a gardener after 32 years in the warehouse and real estate business because , '' I like to work outdoors a nd a good gardener is never out of work.''
Gus has a theory on how to not feel old which he explained as always being around people younger than myself. My wife and I have always done that, and to tell you the truth, we enjoy the younger people more." After working these last six years with young people, Gus has formed some definite opinions about this "younger generation.'' "I believe that maybe the kids today get everything handed to them too easily and that their parents don't give them a balance or discipline and love."
"My opinion of the young people at the college that I've seen and worked with is that they're some of the most friendly people that I've worked with. In fact all the people at Palomar College are tops." Even though he would like to keep right on working here, Gus feels that retirement seems to be a time to stop work and enjoy somethings. But for him, that could be rather difficult because, as Gus puts it, "My job of gardening is what I enjoy ."
