Trustees debating schedule changes

By Diane Slezak Students may be returning to school a little earlier next fall, if the Palomar College Board of Trustees decides to approve a proposed calendar for 1975-76 which was presented at their Tuesday night meeting.

Designed to eliminate the two-week ''lame duck" period between Christmas vacation and final exams for the fall semester, the proposed calendar would begin classes August 18 and end December 19. Spring semester would begin January 28 and end June 4.

Originally, the proposal called for spring semester to begin January 21 and end May 28. But following a meeting between Dr. Frederick R. Huber, _president of Palomar, and North County high school principals and superintendents, the

dates were changed.

The reason for the change involved the increasing numbers of mid-term graduates who attend Palomar during spring semester following their graduation in January. With the exception of Fallbrook, all the high schools in the Palomar district end their fall semester January 30.

If Palomar would change from January 21 to January 28 as the date for the beginning of the spring semester, the high schools could then make arrangements so their grads could attend Palomar.

Dr. Huber said that 70 to 80 percent ofthe midterm graduates do come to Palomar for the spring semester. Many decide to go to four-year universities from here.

Milo E. Shadle, board president, expressed concern over possible increased budgetary measures.

"I was wondering if this will require longer con-

tracts for a large number of faculty members," he said. "We have a 40-day spread between the end of the fall semester and the beginning of the spring semester, and I would suspect we will have to extend a lot of 10-month contracts to 11-month contracts."

John D. Schettler, assistant superintendent in charge of business, said the interim period would be considered "a break in the (teacher's) contract" and would not be subject to any contract increases with the possible exception of counselors and coaches.

Huber also stated that the possibility of classes to be offered in the interim is being investigated.

In other action, the board discussed the recent action by the California state board of governors, who approved a plan for a single North County community college district December 4.

Palomar College · Volume 28 Number 15 • A Publication of the Associated Students ·

The plan, which involves combining Palomar and MiraCosta colleges into one district and including Ramona, Julian, Borrego Springs and San Dieguito, will be presented to the voters on March 4.

Trustees here oppose the plan on the grounds it will increase the tax rate and result in a loss of identity and support for the two schools.

They favored a plan annexing Borrego Springs, Ramona and Julian to Palomar and allowing San Dieguito residents to vote on whether they preferred to annex to Palomar or MiraCosta.

Proponents of the measure say that if the four areas were annexed to Palomar, MiraCosta would be so small by comparison, they may be forced to join Palomar also.

They also cite equalization of the tax rate and educational opportunities as reasons for supporting the plan.

If what I am being told by administrators and teachers is true, they would like to learn and obtain information on the Indian children attending their schools. The attendance by their staff and faculty will indicate to me the committment that they are willing to make to meet this need."

Lucero a lso said "The biggest problem that we have in the education of Indian is the lack of understanding of the Indian way of life."

Bilingual program draws huge crowd More than 600 North County residents met in the Student Union a week ago to attend an evening program concerning cross-cultural dialogue.'

In an attempt to overcome language and cultural barriers emanating from persons seeking either English as a second language, or Spanish as a second language, those in attendance combined an evening's entertainment with an introduction to Palomar's Bilingual Education Department.

Community leaders, students, families and staff, representing nearby Escondido, Pauma Valley, Fallbrook, Rancho Vallecito, Rancho Montserrat and the Palomar campus were introduced to the bilingual education program through use of a slide presentation depicting the activities of the bilingual program, followed by a talent show.

Assembly reiects advocates Voting to reject the five judicial advocates who had been appointed temporarily by ASG president Jerry Jones, the Assembly last Thursday disassociated itself from any actions taken by the Judiciary before the present Assembly had been formed.

Two students, Wayne Rogge and John Barker, who had leveled "academic due process" charges at the Judiciary for allegedly mismanaging the last election, stated that the charges would be dropped.

Butch Olson, the only member of the AsseyVbly who opposed the resolution, did so because he felt that Rogge and Barker would only drop the charges if

the present advocates were ousted, and that they were in effect ''blackmailing" the Assembly.

Barker stated that he felt it would be better to submit new names rather than go through with the drawn-out "academic due process," which is a procedure by which disputes on campus are arbitrated. It is usually considered a last resort if no other course of action can be agreed upon .

Later in the meeting a motion was made by Archie Howell to cut off funds from Aware, the ASG sponsored newsletter which began publication last summer. However, it was pointed out by Gene Jackson, dean of student activities,

that the publication is now defunct since everyone connected with it has resigned although funds are still allocated for it.

Howell stated that he felt Aware was not serving its purpose of increasing communication between the student government and the students. The motion was not acted upon pending action by the Executive Council which originated the newsletter.

In other business, the UNA requested funds for its Cultural Day, the amount requested being $500. This motion was passed unanimously by the assembly.

Winning by pins against Fullerton were Terry Drew and Warren Nikuls.

Scoring decisions were Kim Cline, Bob Northridge, Larry Christman, Mike Karges and Joe Cascioppo. Pete Samhammer and Don Barrios won their matches by forfeit.

In their toughest match of the season, 126 pound Cline and 134 pound Fields handily pinned their opponents. Plril Reddish and Nikuls won their matches by decisions, while Barrios drew.

"Fullerton and Cuesta were not terribly strong. We wanted to get warmed up for the big one against Cypress," said Woods.

"With the two falls by Cline and

Fields, we got off to a good start against Cypress. A couple of breaks either way would probably have blown the match wide open. This was a good match all around. The spectators were jumping up and down, and screaming during the match," said Woods.

Nikuls led the Comet wrestling team to a 102 1/2 point overall victory at the Southwestern Tournament Saturday. day.

"The momentum is still going. If we continue to improve with every match, then we'll be hard to beat," said John Woods , Comet wrestling coach.

Van Deerlin was appointed to chair the committee by the Student Assembly when she attended one oftheir meetings to ask for their support in sponsoring or supporting a drive to collect funds for the famine stricken nations.

"This year ten million people will die from famine, half of them are under five years old." Van Deerlin said. She explained that there are many reasons for the famine: overpopulation, overconsumption on the part of many industrial nations, changes in the earth's climate resulting in the earth getting cooler. In addition, oil-based fertilizers have doubled in cost recently, making it harder for poorer farmers to afford them.

Droughts and heavy floodings are also responsible for much starvation in such countries as Bangled~sh. .

The areas of famme mclude such diverse places_ as India, Pakistan, parts of South Amenca an9, the Sahel regwn of Africa.

Donations will be sought ~t the assembly. Any funds collected Will go to the Bangledesh Food Relief Committee, chaired by Senator George McGovern in Washington, D.C., or to CARE. "I feel that we must stop and take time to give serious consideration to this problem, regardless of its magnitude. At this season of the year, particularly, we should stop and think and show some compassion for mankind," Van Deerlin said.

As a part of this program there will be an exhibit in the Main Library and the Student Union to exhibit photographs taken in the famine nations. There will also be a viewing of "And Who Shall Feed This World," an NBC white paper

by John Chancellor that will be shown in the learning center all day.
