Board puts off mandate change Palomar's Governing Board failed to take action last Tuesday on a recommendation for changes in Health Education, Physical Education and American Institutions requirements submitted by the Administrative Council.

The Administrative Council proposal was opposed by both the Faculty Senate and the Physical Education Department.

In its proposal, the Administrative Council recommended that the American Institutions, Health Education and Physical education requirements apply only to those students who are seeking an Associate in Arts Degree. The requirements would not apply to students who are not planning to graduate from Palomar with an AA Degree.

The Administrative Council proposal

made no changes in the current American Institutions and Health Education requirements for the AA Degree. At least three units of American Institutions and two units of Health Education would st111 be required of all students interested in the degree.

In the Physical Education requirement, however, the Administrative Council proposal removed the exemption that students over 21 years of age have from this requirement at present.

Only students who have already completed two units of college physical activity, who are enrolled in eightorfewer units, who have medical excuses, who attend evening classes or Continuing Education classes only, or who are veterans would be exempted from Physical Edu-

cation. Any student of any age who is seeking an AA degree and who does not meet one of the above exemptions would be required to take two units of Physical Education.

The Board took no action on this proposal pending "clarifications and definitions'' from the County Counsel on whether or not the proposal is violating a section of the State Education Code.

This section states that "all students attending a community college must attend 120 minutes of physical activity a week unless excused.'' The Administrative Council proposal would excuse all students who are not going after an AA Degree.

At the meeting, the Physical Education Department submitted a state-

ment to the board rejecting the proposal on the grounds that "it is inconsistent to mandate certain requirements of all candidates for the AA Degree and excuse a large segment of the student body from the physical education requirement.''

The PE Department stated that, in effect, the Administrative Council proposal recommends "that the board approve a plan which excuses all students at Palomar from physical education and then requires two units of physical education for those who wish to obtain the Associate Degree."

The statement also cited figures showing that in two schools which had excused all students from physical education, a drop in registration in activity

Palomar College

classes occurred . This was followed, the statement said, by a consecutive drop in staff morale and a lessening of the opportunities for curriculum expansion.

As an alternate proposal, the PE Department recommended that exemptions from physical education be granted only to students enrolled in eight of fewer units, veterans, and students who attend evening classes. In other words, all students regardless of age who carry over e ight units and do not meet one of these exemptions would be required to take two units of physical activity even if they are not attempting to graduate from Palomar with an AA Degree.

The board will possibly reconsider the proposal at their next meeting, January 23 at 7:30p.m. in the Confe r ence Room.

Iris Sankey

ASG budget under examination

announces

by college's governing boonl

candidacy

Members of the Board of Governors examined the proposed $39,750 student government budget at last Tuesday's meeting, but delayed approval of the plan.

The proposed budget totals $6,250 more than this year's tentative budget, which the ASG has been operating under since the school year began.

"Overall, I think the board was pleased with our new plans," said student assembly chairman Steve Henderson.

"They were especially impressed with the proposed arboretum (natural park)."

By Katie Hoadley Stating that politics is all "reason, reason, reason" and that "politicians should demonstrate feelings as well," Iris Sankey announced her candidacy for the 38th District State Senate seat at a press conference held here last Thursday.

Mrs. Sankey, a Democrat and a selfdescribed environmentalist, will be running against Republican State Assemblyman John Stull for the senate seat, which was rece ntly vacated by Clair Burgener.

Governor Ronald Reagan has the responsibility for calling a special election to fill the seat.

Cites concern for people

Display in gallery uncovered as hoax.

"I would cite a deep and . abiding concern for people rather than for special interest groups," Mrs. Sankey said.

She described herself as being "very people-oriented.''

One specific issue for which Mrs. Sankey said she would work is the abolition of the necessary two-thirds majority vote now required for passage of specific items on the ballot, notably bond issues .

Citing the failure of many bond issues on the November ballot, which received a majority of votes but not the required two-thirds majority, Mrs. Sankey stated that the "two-thirds majority vote has shackled institutions" and that " the two-to-one ratio has caused a disproportionate distribution of the vote." A return to a simple majority vote, she said , would r eturn the "one man-one vote" concept to governme nt.

Political spending "obscene" Mrs. Sankey also indicated that she would rely largely upon volunteer help for her campaign, stating that the amount of money spent on political campaigns is "obscene."

Johanna Mills, wife of State Senator James Mills, endorsed Mrs. Sankey's candidacy. "She brings a human point of view as well as intellect and training to politics , " Mrs. Mills said.

Mrs. Sankey is a former student at Palomar and a r esident of Escondido.

She has long been politically active in that city as a member of the League of Women Voters. She has also served on the Escondido Commission of Parks and Recreation, where she worked to obtain needed bike paths in Escondido.

The 38th Senatorial District contains all of North County as well as parts of east and south San Diego counties.

Eral Nupto, the artist whose works are now on display in the Dwight Boehm Gallery, is a fake. Rearrange the letters in his name and one gets "Real put on."

Nupto, supposedly a Bay Area artist, was created by Theodore Kilman's Survey of Contemporary Art class. They worked all semester creating paintings, constructions, and kinetic sculptures that were to have been works spanning Nupto's 50 to 60 year art career.

Students who worked on the hoax were Roberto Aguilera, Charie Silsby, Lucy Mungai, Loretta Karr, Wayne Haslaw, Wanda Cook, Debbie Walker and Linda Barnes.

To be located on unoccupied land in the northwest sector of the campus, the arboretum will serve as both a study and recreation area.

"We plan to make the ugliest spot on campus the most beautiful," said assemblyman Brian Hawthorne, who devised the plans for the park.

Other new student services included in the budget, a student nutrition center and an emergency loan fund, r eceived a mixed reaction from the board.

"While most of the board liked the idea of an alternative to the cafeteria food," Henderson commented, "they questioned the interest-free aspect of the loan fund."

Concern was also expressed over the Student Counseling Center, which has been functioning since the school year began. It has been noted that the operating expenses of the center will exceed the $4,000 budgeted for it.

Meanwhile, as the spring semester begins, Henderson says the student as-路 sembly will begin new projects . One is an investigation of teacher evaluation policies.

"I think students, as well as administrators should be involved in the official evaluation of teachers," he said.

"In addition, I'd like to re-establish the publication of 'Insight', the booklet which included student criticism of instructo rs."

It is expected the campus parking situation will be also studied by the student assembly. Special emphasis will be given to the financial structure of the parking system.

veterans with two depende nts, and $18 for each additional dependent.

Benefits for disabled veterans enrolled in vocational rehabilitation programs have also been inc reased , Carli pointed out, to $170 for single veterans, $211 for married, $248 for those with two dependents and $18 monthly for each additional dependent.

"Veterans should note ," Carli said, "that for those who were discharged betvree n January, 1955 and May 31, 196 ti, the benefits will cease on May 31, 1974. It would be to the advantage of veterans of the area who are in this category and who are interested in an educ ational program, to a rrange fo r the beginning of it in the spring semester coming up."

Palomar provides a wide offering of both academic and vocational training programs for veterans.

These include studies fot an AA degree in all academic a reas, vocational apprenticeship programs in a numbe r of fields including carpentry, plumbing, sheet metal and automotive; and programs leading to vocational certificates in various othe r fields, such as police science, closed circuit TV, computer science, welding and supervision.

Carli said veterans enrolling in the program are entitled to receive up to four units of college credit per semester for employment while attending Palomar , and that these units may be applied toward receiving the benefits paid under the VA plan.

Registration for the spring semester at Palomar will be underway until this

?rid ay. Carli said eligibility for benefits may be established with the VA through the Palomar office prior to or during registration.

The college maintains a Veterans Education Office which is prepared to answer any questions of prospective students and process Veterans Administration papers. Ed Mendez, of the San Diego County Veterans Services Office, is at Palomar each Wednesday from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. to assist veterans in any problems they may have in connection with their VA status and college attendance benefits.

Evening registration will continue thru January 25 Registration for the spring semester for extended day and evening students is scheduled through Jan 25, from 6 to 9 p.m .

H. C. Lee, registrar, said registrations for day students began Jan 8 and will continue through Jan 19. Classes in the new semester will begin Jan 29.

Gilmour's cage 5 at home Saturday

Wrestlers begin conference Friday in 3-way match

Whether seven day's rest after a long hard game will help the basketball team or not, only time will tell.

This week's only game will be held Saturday night in the dome against Chaffey at 8 p.m.

Last week's action started out on a positive note as the Comet cagers left San Diego City College doubled over.

Literally. Palomar's five played their best game of the year as they doubled SDCC's score 90-46.

After the first few minutes of the game, Dana Blalock put the game into a 6-6 tie.

Greg Ensminger bucketed one to put the Comets ahead never to fall behind again.

At the half, as usual, the locals went out ahead 36- 24.

In the second half the locals leaped ahead and picked up 10 points before the Knights scored again.

League competition will begin Friday for the Comet wrestlers when they travel to San Bernardino for a triangular match.

Citrus and San Berdoo will provide the opposition for the match, which begins at 5 p.m.

The Comet matmen recently appeared in their seventh tournament this season.

Last weekend the locals traveled to San Luis Obispo for the Cal Poly Championships.

The team did well , finishing ninth out of 30 schools.

Individual honors went to Marc McAnnally, finishing fourth and Clay Clifford, coming in fifth .

Dave Galloway won two and lost two in the 118 pound class.

Doug Nakama won one natch at 134 pounds.

McAnally, a 142 pounder, won four matches while losing just one.

Clifford won two matches at 158.

Tom Silsby, the heavyweight man, also won one match.

One week from Friday, the Comets will travel to Grossmont to face Southwestern and San Diego City. The trimatch will also begin at 5 p.m.

On January 30 the locals will journey to El Centro, East Los Angeles and Imperial Valley College will be the opponents.

Palomar will host Chaffey and Riverside February 2 for their first home league match.

This is only the second time the Comets have been home, the first being the Palomar Takedown Tourney in November.

From that point on, it looked like a one team game as Coach Gilmour's team hit the target again and again.

Blalock took scoring honors with 21 points, and Bob LeBrun was hot on his tail with 20.

LeBrun was injured with 8:43 left in the game and didn't score again.

Following this game the Comets went back down the scale and hit two more low notes in a row when they lost to Riverside and San Bernardino.

Against defending conference champion, Riverside, the local backboarders made some costly mistakes in the first half and outscored the Tigers in the second.

But, even that didn't help as RCC dumped the Comets 65-47.

Ensminger topped the scoring column with 12 points and Tee Ness had 11.

Against SBVC, the Comets went out ahead at the break, 40-39, but the Indians came back to score eight straight points before PC could score again.

Ness led the scoring in the 78-70 defeat with 16.

Tee Ness "Well, we played a pretty good second half against Riverside and a good first half against San Berdoo, " Coach Andy Gilmour commented.

"What we have to contend with against Chaffey is the boards. They're great rebounders so we really have to work on being patient with our shots.

"I really can't say right now how this game will end."

Counselor becomes feminist; wages own 'war on sexism'

By Nell Godown In a corner office, behind the doors of A-6 !, works a subversive in action.

Vocational Guidance Center's Martha Lehr, counselor and self-proclaimed "funnist " is actively engaged in waging her OW' I "war on sexism".

In n recent interview, Ms. Lehr, outspoken advocate for the Women's Liberation movement, recalled her own introduction to the tenets of" Feminism".

"I took Ann Carli's course, The Status of Women in America offered at Palomar in the spring of 1972, and bought my first copy of 'Ms.' magazine that sem ester. From these two sources, I found answers to questions pertaining to my role in society that had troubled me for years."

Challenges popular notion Since then, the dynamic counselor has been seriously challenging the popuEirly held notion of female inferiority in society.

"For me, Women's Liberation means not only equal rights, but equal responsibility with most rights. In mypersonal life, I am trying to narrow one gap between the two."

The five-year veteran of Palomar's counseling staff criticized the economic set-up of marriage as a major stumbling block in the attainment of equal responsibility for women.

"One of the basic characteristics of a healthy personality is responsibility for

Martha Lehr

self. This includes economic survival.

Women in our society are conditioned from birth to look for their economic survival in another person; namely, a husband. This economic dependence creates problems within a marriage, s ince dependence of any sort usually breeds hostility."

"Although Ms. Lehr conceded that the problems created by the housewife's dependence may be diffused by the husband's appreciation and understanding of the role of homemaker as a valid contribution to one economic unit of the couple, she emphasized that this is rarely the case.

Feel s reconsideration necessary "More often than not, the husband and society does not consider the housewife's job as a fun-time enterprise, and the husband usually believes that his wife is getting a 'soft deal'. ' Even if the couple is able to circumvent the problems created as a result of the wife's economic dependence, Ms. Lehr feels the necessity for the society at large to reconsider the economic issue in marriage.

"The whole society is going to have to come to grips with the practice of one adu lt placing his e ntire economic survival in the hands of another for the span of their lives together."

The counselor questions the feasibility and desirability of such an arrangement, and attempts to combat the woma n' s need for economic dependence through her counseling.

Tries to help women "Generally. I don't give advice. Instead, I try to help women who seek guidance to tap in on their own dreams, aspirations and abilities. Once that is done. it is possible to provide them with alternative courses that are open to them."

Ms. Lehr pointed out that, in the past, women who are interested in professional careers have been channelled away from the professions into more "acceptable" caree rs. Women with an aptitude in the medical field are steered toward nursing, rather than medical school; those interested in dentistry are encouraged to go into dental assisting.

Determined to challenge the system's practice of channeling women into lowpaying, dead end jobs, Ms. Lehr reports that she sees hope for the future.

"Lately, I am dealing more and more with women who are talking about careers in engineering, pharmaceutical work and other professional fields."

She admits, however, "In counseling, it's hard to put your hand up and know you were effective."
