Initial concert hour features Jackson Dr. Dennis Jackson, baritone, will be featured at the first Concert Hour presentation to be given by the Music Department Wednesday at II a.m. in C-5. The recital will last 50 minutes and admission is free . Jackson is a well-known soloist in the Midwest. He received his DMA at the University of Michigan and is currently teaching voice at the University of Colorado. He has
sung a number of operatic roles, as well as musical comedy. "This will be an outstanding concert and one of the high points of the year," said Joe Stanford, head of the Music Department. Repertoire will include both classical and musical theater compositions. Jackson will be accompanied by Howard Waltz, also of the University of Colorado.
However, trustees decided to postpone action until the proposal's actual feasibility could be determined by the budget committee. Dower also cited safety as a reason for expansion. She noted that since goods for sale are stacked floor-to-ceiling, accidents could occur from students reaching up to a high shelf to obtain a book. If funds are granted from the special reserve fund, they will be augmented with funds from the bookstore savings account, amounting to $37,000 on hand and an estimated $15,000 available before construction is completed.
Casts for the first drama production of the year, billed as "An Evening of One-Acts," have been announced by Dr. N. E . Gaskins, director of the production.
'This is not a traditional way to spend the reserve fund," explained Jones. "It is usually used for capital improvements such as the swimming pool and staff office buildings. This (the bookstore) is something the student body needs." The addition to the bookstore calls for an increase in size of 3600 square feet, three times larger than the present building. Textbpoks would be housed in the area of the present building; pens, notebooks and miscellany would be sold in the new portion. According to Virginia Dower, bookstore manager, one-half of the proposed addition would be used just for items now sold in the store. "That should explain just how crowded we really are," she said. "We haq five registers operating during the fall book rush, and the only reason we didn't have more was because there was no place to put them." "This is a project affecting every one of the II ,000 students, every teacher and every class here at Palomar," said Dr. John D. Schettler, chairman of the Bookstore Advisory Committee. "The longer we wait, the more ground we lose." The appropriation, if approved by the board, will come from the college's special reserve fund. This fund is largely derived from out-of-state students who pay nonresident fees, according to Jerry Jones, Associated Student Government (ASG) president.
Heading the bill will be Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Sire de Maletroit's Door." The "evil" Sire de Maletroit, to be played by Rigo Estrada, attempts to trap the yom'lg soldier Denis into marrying his niece Blanche.

The second play, "The Cask of Amontillado," by Edgar Allen Poe, is a suspenseful "story of revenge" told by a wandering minstrel, to be played by Dave Dunlop. Dave Rice will be Montresor, the revenger, and his victim will be Pat Mitchell as Fortunato. Vic Cornelio will play a friend. Set in a mining camp, the third play concerns a bet-crazy miner who is finally taken by a stranger. Mark Twain wrote the play, entitled "The Jumping Frog of Calveras County." Joe Biscone plays the stranger who teaches Smiley, played by Pat Mitchell, his lesson . Vic Cornelio, Mike Phenicoe and Dave Rice will play miners from the camp. The last play, "The Duel;' by Alexandre Dumas, has the largest cast. Steve Elwood will narrate the play as the sergeant.
