Set in a British field-hospital somewhere within the Southeast Asia Command, Lachlen is a soldier with only
weeks to live, who stubbornly refuses to respond to the sympathetic treatment bestowed upon him by well-meaning friends. However, before the morale of his friends is destroyed, he learns the great lesson of love for his neighbor, as well as for Margeret, and the play ends happily, if tearfully. Completing the cast of nine are Pat O'Rourke as the stuttering Yank, Vic Cornelio as Digger the Australian, Malcolm Pullman as Kiwi from New Zealand, Phil Golden as Blossom, the African Basuto, Joe Biscone as the orderly, David Herrin as the Cockney cook Tommy, and Alex Swart as the British colonel.

Airplane crash simulated for local disaster A local disaster was simulated October 25 involving a single engine private plane with two persons aboard "crashing" on Palomar College's practice football field. The plane plunged to earth, exploded into flames, "killing" three persons and "injuring" 27. Screams and cries of the injured filled the air as the first firemen and other emergency workers arrived on the scene. Local fire departments swung into action dousing the flames and then joined the local ambulance units to treat the injured. Sheriff's helicopters brought in emergency medical equipment and supplies, while a US Coast Guard helicopter was used to evacuate the victims. The injured were rushed to three North County area hospitals, Palomar Memorial Hospital in Escondido, Fallbrook Hospital and Trr'-City Hospital in Oceanside. California Highway Patrol officers and sheriffs handled the traffic and the crowd in the area, attempting to keep the roads clear for the emergency vehicles and to keep the bystanders away from the scene. The injured were marked and tagged for priority treatment, those requiring immediate medical attention, those who needed less immediate attention, and those who could care for themselves temporarily. The victims, played by Palomar drama students, were made up with imitation blood and injuries and casts borrowed from Balboa Naval Hospital. They followed scripts and the acting was realistic. Injuries involved amputations, burns, and bleeding wounds. Drills will continue throughout the county in various areas as part of the disaster preparedness plans for emergency response units under the directorship of William B. (Bill) Marty, OES chief deputy director. Purpose of the drills, staged by the county Office of Emergency Services, was to test the proficiency of the communication and emergency equipment and men who would normally be involved in a multi-jurisdictional catastrophy.

Garcia, a part-time instructor, was denied full time status by the Board of Governors earlier this year. Reacting to a proposal by the Student Assembly, the Executive Council rejected the naming of specific allegations and instead favored emphasis of the philosophical aspects of the situation which some say violated academic freedon and due process procedures.
In other action, the Counsel heard a report from ASG president Jerry Broeckert concerning the use the Dome for dances. Broeckert, chairman of the administration's Dome committee, expressed little hope that the gym would be available for dances this year, but also asked the Interclub Council to submit ideas concerning the Dome's use.
