ASG budget plans tonight ASG members will seek approval of a $39,750 student government budget at tonight's Board of Governor's meeting. Last Thursday, the administrative council unanimously approved the plan before sending it to the board for cons id eration. Since the beginning of the school year, the ASG has been operating under a tentative budget. The proposed bud get, which is $6,250 more than the current one, will become the final budget when it is adopted . Included in the plan are special projects devised by the ASG within the last semester. They include an emergency fund, an arboretum (natural park) and a student's nutrition store . Aimed at helping full-time students with short term financial problems, the emergency loan service would provide interest-free loans up to $75. The loan would have to be paid back within 30 days. Easy accessability and no collateral requirements are listed as the program's advantages over similar loan programs. The loan fund would be implemented by the ASG, operating independently of the Financial Aids Emergency Loan Fund. The ASG budget would include $2,000 for the program. Valued at $6,280, the proposed arboretum would only cost the ASG an expected $2,500. Much of the excavation for and specimens in the new natural park will be donated. When completed, the park, now vacant land located northwest of the campus buildings, would serve as a study area for the science students to examine the various plants and a resting place for other students to relax and enjoy nature. Baked goods, juices, yogurts, organic fruits and vegetables and nuts are the foods that would be sold in the student nutrition center, which would be located in the Student Union . Besides offering students new choices in food selection on campus, the center would provide student employment. It would cost $699 for the initial setup of the center. Eventually, it is :oped
that it can :e self;upp:ting.

Day students, males respond Lent said 72 percent of the respondents were day students and 65 percent were male. "While 61 percent marked their questionnaires 'single' under marital status," Lent said, •only 42 percent live with parents. This 42 percent living at home, it is felt, because of their larger disposable personal income over and above food and lodging. represent important consumer spenders." Residence breakdown. in percentages of the 315 cross-section study, showed: Escondido, 24 percent; Vista, 19; Oceanside-Carlsbad-Coastal, 18; Rancho Bernardo-Poway. 12: San Marcos, 11; all others (less than 5 percent in various localities). 16. Students 'working group' "From the result of the answers dealing with their employment," Lent said, "it is evident that Palomar College students are a working group. In the survey, 77 percent marked 'yes' under employment, 56 percent of these on a part-time basis, and 93 percent of them work for someone else as opposed to being self-employed. "The average take-home pa~ of survey participants was between $50 and $75' a week," the instructor reported. "The average for daytime students was between $100 and $150 a week. Economic impact seen "The economic impact of Palomar students as a whole upon the North County district is significant," Lent said. "More than 4,000 daytime students are enrolled, and adjusting their average income with night class enrollment where almost 100 percent are indicated to be working, the projection indicates the total student body has an estimated weekly earning of $130,000 and, on an annual basis, some $6 million." Lent pointed out that the survey results indicated that "the college, instead of being an economic drain upon the taxpayers of the district, is rather an economic asset for the North County if we assume that these student-workers would be going to school somewhere else and spending their earnings elsewhere if the college were not located where it is."
