Local instructor designs religious insignia By Diane
~arl and
Over 900 years of tradition was revived and examined by instructor Rita White as she dec iphered heraldic instructions to design a sea l for the newly formed Episcopal Diocese of San Diego. Her design was submitted in the contest to choose the new diocese seal, and subsequently won. White's job was to interpret the following words: "Per fess azure and barry wavy of the first and argent, a cross Or, in sinister chief an ancho r of the second banded , nailed and cabled of the

"Per fess" is interpreted as divided in half horizontally. "azure" m eans the top half above the hori zontal s houl d be blue, "barry wavy" explains that the horizontal lines should be wavy, "of the first" refers to the first color b lue, "argent" silver and "cross Or'· is a cross of gold, with gold being the only color capitalized for s pecific emphasis.

official papers and insigni a of the diocese and will be made into a ring for sealing papers and sealing 11·ax. The ring was the basis for the designing of the seal and created for that purpose.

cut in work study program funds
Alt hough interest in the work study program continues to grow, the federal funds used for its support could decline next year. This year, $27 0 million has been allocated by the federa l government to account for 80 percent of the program's cost. However. President Nixon has now proposed that $20 million be cut from next year's work study budget. ASG Preside nt u " " ' J Broeckert at a conference of the National Student Lobby last week in Washington, D.C ., joined other student leaders across the nation in opposing Nixon's proposal. "We actually feel there s hould be an increase of $150 million next year," Broeckert noted. He pointed out that the funding has not been increased for two years despite inflation and the increase in students eligible for the program. At Palomar , there are 123 students currently e nrolled In the Work Study program adm inistered by Financial Aids Officer Frank Hankin. Over 500 students, though. applied for the program . During its existence at Palomar, there have been differences in the money requested from the federal government for the operation of the program and the amount received. For instance, $110,000 was sought this school year and only $39,840 was made available. "We have a 14 percent increase in enrollment, but the government only allowed a third of what was needed," Broeckert emphasized. Through membership in the National Student Lobby. Broecker! hopes to be able to effective ly oppose the proposed cuts in Work Study.
Proposa I advocates ASG use U.S. gov't as model Mod e ling student government after that of the nited States has been one of the main ideas expressed in the meetings of the ASG's Constitution Revision Committee. Unde r the propos al. there would be two legislative bodies in the ASG as well as an executive cabinet. Currently, only the student asse mbly and executive council exist. The next meeting of the committe e will be today at 10 a.m. in the Conference Room .

Mishaps in the hand l ing of tinw s ht•t•ts l eav student workt·rs t•mpty- handt'd eac h p ay period. Devising a system in which studt·n ts who do not receive their check wouldn't have to suffer th con,:; qut•nct•s of a month- long wait for their mon <'Y was among th items cliscuss<'ct at Monday·s . meeting of the 1\. G Executive Council. Financial Aids Offi cer I·' r nnk llankin. with the support of De:111 Theoctor · Kilman. urged the council to establish a special loan fund for studen t W<lrk<'rs. Under hi s plan. each stuclt•nt who cticl not receive his check would he l'ligihk . to borrow money interest- fret• from the fund. At the same time. the studt·nt would gr~t his power-of-attorney for the missing paycheck to the loan fund ad ministrator who wou ld repay tlw loan at the time the check was rccl'ived. The Executive Cou nci l voted to tt·y such a plan for a two-month pt•riod. but this temporary dt·cision was not reached until a variety or discussion was a ired. Som e m e mbers of the council suggested that the supervisors or the student work rs fail in their responsibility when time sheets arc late or lost. caus ing a delay for the student. Others fell that if the stucl<·nt em ployees agree. each worker s hou ld donate an amount not to exceect Sl. 50 to establish a type of credit union within the A. G. An election would be held among th • workers to determine the feasibility of such a plan. While no fina l deci s ion was r •ached. the counci l d id agree to study the proposals for use after tht• temporary loan fund is closed. In othe r action. the counci l approved an April concert featuring "Flash Cadi l lac" and "flall'n .Jack."
