Bookstore expansion studied Expansion of the Palomar bookstore has been suggested by the m e mbers of the Bookstore Advisory Committee in preparing a report for the Board of Governors . In its study, the committee has outlined alternative expansion proposals and various methods of financing acquisition of a relocatable structure priced at $50,000, or two different plans for permanent additions, one valued at $252,000 and the other at $403,000. Two of the proposed methods of financing involve the use of bookstore profits, currently used by the ASG to promote student services and activities.
New postcard system provides early grades Students wishing to learn their final grades early may take advantage of a newly initiated system this semester. Available free in the bookstore is a limite d amount of postcards. The student may use any number of these he wishes . By filling out his address on the front and placing a $.06 stamp on the card, a student can turn in the completed card to any of his instructors. When the final grades are completed, the teacher will fill out the student's grade. and drop the card in the mailbox.
Other suggestions are using district funds or obtaining donations from sources such as the Palomar College Foundation. Distribution guidelines for profits and bookstore personnel have also been discussed by the committee, which is composed of students, faculty and administrators. The group's final report is scheduled to be presented at the next Board of Governors' meeting, June 5.

By Katie Hoadley Performances of "Playboy ofthe Western World," the Drama Department's final play of the season, will continue tomorrow night, with additional presentations Friday and Saturday nights. The play, which opened last week, is performed each night in th~ Drama Lab, room P-33, beginning at 7:30p.m. "Playboy" is a dramatic comedy, combining elements of humor, suspense and emotional realism. The play also contains a hugging (but no kissing) scene which early 20th Century audiences, the first to view the play, found to be extremely risque . Called the "most perfect comedy ever written," "Playboy" was authored by John Millington Synge, a native Irishman. Accordingly, the three acts of the play take place in a small, one-room Irish tavern, and the dialog is flavored with a thick Irish brogue. Performances Strong The local performance of the play has as its most prominent strong point the overall excellence of the cast. The highlighting performance is given by Jamey Sheridan, who plays Christopher Mahon, the main character. Other major characters in the play are Pegeen Mike, the perfect stereotype of an Irish nag, played by Evie Payne; Widow Quin, a hard, mature woman who sets her sights on Christopher, portrayed by Mary Vance; and Shawn Keogh, Pegeen's shy, quivering, intended husband (his inte ntion , not hers), played by David Herrin. Two of the superb performances in the play are turned in by Perry Skarra and John Kelly, as Old Mahon and Pegeen's father, respectively. Both are old, somewhat potbellied, and very provincial. Part of the excellence of their performance lies in the fact that they are both older men and can thus convincingly p ortray age. Having these older actors to play the older roles is invaluable to the play.
