According to Ashbrook, an emergency meeting was called by the promoters of the pageant one week before its scheduled opening. "I realized for the first time that we didn't have any money, and without money I recommended not to continue," Ashbrook explained. "I was very disappointed that the board woul d attempt to put anything like that on without the capital," he added. Ashbrook was not alone . in donating a great deal of time to the pageant. It had been the subject of a six-week summer school course, and the members of the cast alone numbered 90. In addition to the cast were the members of crews who had worked on scenery and costumes.

How would you feel if a drama presentation you had been working on day and night for six weeks suddenly folded? If you had worked as hard as Buddy Ashbrook, Palomar drama instructor and director of the third annual Felletta Pageant, your feelings might well reach beyond simple disappointment. The Felicita Pageant, scheduled to run for its third year as a part of the annual Kit Carson Days celebration in Escondido, was recently cancelled as a result of financial difficulties . $3,000 had been donated to the pageant by the city of Escondido. How. ever this was the extent of the funds for the pageant, which in the past has cost as much as $ll,OOO to produce.
Ashbrook also stated that the play would have been much cheaper to produce this yea r, perhaps even half as expensive as it has been in the past. The costumes and scenery from the 1971 prod~tio n were to be used again, and the bleachers used for seating were donated free by Escondido area high schools. As hbrook al ready has plans to replace the summer course on the page ant with something different next year. Although he is not quite sure of the format yet, a mong his plans is a "Reper toire The. ater," to consis t of two six-week sessions, each of which will offer three units of credit. The theater would present two or three plays, alternating them throughout the summer. Ashbrook also cited plans to continue the produc tion of one musical play each summer.

Ashbrook plans December play "The School for Wives," a critically acclaimed play by Moliere, w!Il be the featured production of the Drama Department for the fall semester, according to Buddy Ashbrook, Palomar drama instructor. Tryouts for the ,Play will be held towards the end of October, with performances to be held December 7-9 and 14-16. The cast numbers nine. Although in the past the Drama Department has presented two plays each semester, only one school play will be featured this fall because of the construction work being done in room P-32. Ashbrook explained that, because room P-32 is being remodeled, many classes are being held in the Drama Lab, making it impossible for work to be done on the sets for the play. In order to· compensate, several professional shows will be presented at Palomar this semester--including the Theater of the Deaf, a group of deaf actors from Connecticut who perform using sign language. Also featured will be the original musical play "Christmas Memory" by Truman Capote.

Commitment stressed in annual president's convocation address "You have the opportunity to make change and I'm afraid you're going to miss that opportunity," said Dr. Frederick R. Huber, Palomar President, in an address to student and faculty September 15. In his address, the annual President's Convocation which is presented at the beginning of each school year, Dr. Huber stressed the fact that Palomar students must prepare to accept the responsibilities of the future. He pointed out the Importance of making commitments and fulfilling "the dreams of men like Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy, Mahatma Ghandi, Pope John XXIII, along with yours." "I am suggesting to you that you have all the necessary tools to present and bring about forthright, agressive programs of dyanmic sociological changes . . I can't believe the 'blood, sweat and tears' of the past ten years was 0nly revolution for revolution's sake," Huber continued. He also noted that students have gained an additional clout- the right to vote. Huber emphasized that preparation is essential for the roles of leadership to which students and their peers aspire. "Leaders are not born, they are made. They do not come upon the scene on a white horse." He acknowledged the everpresent shock of realizing that cynicism, fear and disinterest have in many cases r eplaced optimism, hope and involvement, adding that "tradition, strength, courage, love of fellowman Is not legislated . . . . It comes from the heart, if you will." "We can ignore our responsibilities by saying that the cquntry is hypocritical. You and I are the country. We
can avoid leadership because we don't want to get involved," Huber. continued. Stating that Palomar College can help the student realize the opportunities open to him, Huber recognized the college's role as a "haven and reservoir ofknowledge, reason, and ideas, and adynamic, lively happening.'' In conclusion, Huber asked students to "Let us, meaning faculty, administration and your peers, enlighten you about history and tradition and finally let you share with us your dreams and hopes so that we can achieve them together. "
Increased student participation and activities highlight the plans of the Associated Student Government for the upcoming school year. ''There will no longer be a closed door policy," ASG President Stan Flores commented. "Issues of major importance will be brought to the student body at-large. Any and all input will be welcomed." Students are encouraged to voice their feelings at ASG meetings each Tuesday at ll a.m. in the ASG office (R-3). Among the improved activities are a new social program, student services and the ASG card. "We're launching a new social program," Flores said, "that will include bigger and better concerts to the student body at a low cost." At the ASG office, new student services are being offered. Included is a student counseling service. Ten counselors are available from 12 noon to 12 midnight each weekday. Other services are a housing listing and a hotline telephone. "We'd like anybody who needs housing or might know of housing openings to list the information in our office," Flores said. ASG car d campaigns will be a major project. This year the card takes on an added meaning. ' 'This time the card is part of a national discount service. It can be used for savings on ma jor appliances, or on item·s such as records, jewelry and tapes," Flores noted . "TI:;e savings range from 30 to 60 percent." Under consideration by the ASG is a campus gasoline station. It would allow students savings on gas , provide jobs and be a source of income for the ASG.
