Dance group gives holiday performances
Formation of a final ASG budget for this school year was the main topic of last week's student assembly meeting. Further discussion concerning ASG financing is scheduled at today's assembly meeting which starts at 11 a.m~ in R-3 . Shifting the financial burden of supporting special interest groups from the ASG to the district was considered last week. Some organizations, such as the music and speech departments, are still funded by ASG. "This could mean even more money for these groups," Chairman Steve Henderson told assembly members . Student government projects designed to benefit all student body members were also discussed. The two main ideas are a student food store which would sell organic vegetables, fruits and nuts and an arboretum, a natural park-like area to be located close to the campus, Before these projects can be included in the ASG budget, though, detailed plans of each one must be devised. In other action, ASG Treasurer Gary Jestice reported that a book store advisory committee had been established. The group, consisting of four students, three faculty members and one administrator, will analyze the book store financial situation.
ASG sponsors rock concert Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks will appear in a student government sponsored concert in the Palomar College dome 8-12 p.m. Saturday. The nationally known group is making its first appearance in California since a recent East coast tour. "Only an imbecile could be excused for not getting hep to Dan and his torrid accompanists, His Hot Licks, at the earliest convenience,' Rolling Stone John Mendelsohn commented. Tickets cost $2 for students with ID cards, $2.50 sold in advance and $3 purchased at the door. ASG card holders will be admitted free. On campus, the tickets are available at the bookstore and student activities office. Other ticket locations Include, the lsness Record Store in Solana Beach, the Rock Garden in Leucadia and Everyman's Music Store in Escondido.

The play, which is being presented by the Drama Department under the direction of Buddy Ashbrook, opened last Thursday night to a capacity crowd. The play concerns the story of Arnolphe (Jamey Sheridan), a middle-aged French bachelor who has decided to take himself a bride. Arnolphe has a haunting fear that the woman he marries will make a fool of him by cavorting around with other men, which seems to be the fashion of the day. Accordingly, the high society woman with wit and charms to spare young for Arnolphe, and he pays to have a y.gugu orphan girl, Agnes (Mimi Veltmann), brought up in a secluded convent. Agnes is raised to be such a paragon of innocence and delicate virtue that she is in fact a charming simpleton, which is the very sort of woman Arnolphe wants for his bride.

Agnes falls in love When Agnes leaves the convent, Arnolphe shelters her in a secluded townhouse, guarded by two servants as simpleminded as she, Alain (Donn Peppler) and Georgette (Ellen Hexom). Despite Arnolphe's diligent efforts to keep her hidden, however, Agnes spies and falls in love with a romantic youth, Horace (Karl Shields). Satire blossoms into irony when Horace, who is unaware that his friend Arnolphe is also the mysterious French gentleman who is keeping Agnes secluded, confides in Arnolphe his secret love for Agnes. From this point on the play becomes an intricate, amusing and unlikely comedy of errors with an ending reminiscent of ''Cinderella.'' Cast members of "The School for Wives,'' act out a scene from the play. The actors Include (center) Jamey Sheri-
dan, and (L to R) Fred Moore, Karl Shields and Dwight Jenkins. (Photo by Nora Cochrane)
For underprivileged children
MECHA plans Christmas party MECHA and La Raza Consortium at Palomar College will play Santa Claus for an estimated 500 children from underprivileged families at a party in the college Student Union from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. December 23. Anna Marla Blanco and Christina Villalpando, co-chairmen of the project, said committee workers have been collecting, preparing and wrapping toys in a campaign that began last week. They said contributions of both cash and toys are needed. The co-chairmen said names of the area children were obtained from welfare agencies and other sources. Miss Villalpando said arrangements are being made for college vans to pick up the children at locations over the area for transportation to and from the campus on the day of the party. This is the fourth annual Christmas party under this sponsorship, and much of the work is being done at the MECHA office on the campus. Miss Villalpando said contributions may .be mailed to MECHA, R-5, Palomar College, or contributors may telephone to the college, extension 357, if they wish to bring toys or have them picked up.
The student sponsors will erect a large Christmas tree for the event and Santa will arrive to distribute the presents. Refreshments will be served and entertainment is being arranged,
Sheridan's acting best Jamey Sheridan, as Arnolphe, turns in what is by far the best performance of the play. His portrayal of Arnolphe as the "villain" of the play, complete with a shadowy mustache and evil-looking mole on the cheek, is the highlight of the play and the main contribution to its humor. Arnolphe minces from scene to scene in a knock-kneed prance, scheming and agonizing as he sees his plans for Agnes begin to crumble. Ashbrook described "The School for Wives" as a "Women's Liberation"

Country's main crop (rice) is history award John Owens received two very unusual things recently--one as a result of the other. The first was a mark of 100 on Roy Archer's Far Eastern History test, a feat not often matched. This brought the second, one pound of planting rice. Archer gives students who get 100 on one of his Far Eastern History tests a pound of planting rice. "One thing students learn in Far Eastern History is how to grow rice," Archer said. Owens is the first student in two semesters to win a pound of rice and the only student to make 100 on one of Archer's Far Eastern History tests and Archer's Political Science tests.
drama, and Arnolphe, with hi~ preconceived ideas of the ideal role of women, is definitely the "male chauvinist pig" of the play. Agnes, on the other hand, is the "liberated woman,'' but her freedom from the role that society has imposed upon her sex is due only to the fact that she has absolutely no conception of what that role is supposed to be. Agnes does not know what society says she is supposed to want, but she has a good idea of what she does want, and she is determined to get it. Overacting adds to humor The play is largely overacted and the characters are grandly overdressed in costumes bedecked with gilt and ribbons, but all this adds considerably to the humor. The exaggerations of character, costume, expression and gesture combine to make the play a truly enjoyable spoof on the excesses of human nature. The stage for the play is simple, adequate and authentic-looking. The one set change consists of a garden wall, which is set up on rollers, being rolled on and off stage. The lack of complicated scene changes adds to the smoothflowing continuity of the play. Curtain time for "The School for Wives" is 7:30 p.m., and admission is $.50 for students and $1.50 for adults.
