Community Services is sponsoring five events during the coming month. The Open Eye theater group presents an evening of Robert Frost in the Dome January 24, at 8 p.m. Several ofFrost's works will be presented through the medium of music, art, dance, and drama. "Fire and Ice" is a selection of 26 of Frost's poems and dramatic dialogues, followed by the humorous one-act "A Masque of Reason, " telling of Job and his wife in Paradise, challenging both God and Satan to justify their unreasonable trial of his patience. "The (Open Eye) company managed to tum Frost's familiarity on its head, stealing his words from the tired high school teachers and insipid wall posters and reinfusing them with Frost's vitality, horse sense, and uncluttered wisdom," said critic Robert Pollin of the Washington Star-News. "Yankee Sails Inland" is a film about Irving Johnson's cruise through Europe's inland waterways aboard the Yankee. Showtime is 8 p.m. January 27, in P-32. Starting out in Holland, Captain and Mrs. Johnson traveled through tree lined Dutch canals, viewing windmills, castles, medieval towers, and gates. In France, giant water stairways carried them up and up, through dark mountain tunnels, until they reached the landlocked country of Switzerland. They descended elevation in Italy, and finally reached the Mediterranean. In a series of lectures sponsored by Palomar College and MiraCosta College, astronomer and astrophysicist Dr. Carl Sagan will speak on the

possibility of life on other planets in the Dome February 7, at 8 p.m. Dr. Sagan was responsible for placing aboard Pioneer 10 the first message intended for possible extraterrestrial civilizations. His major research activities are in the physics and chemistry of planetary atmospheres and surfaces, in space vehicle exploration of the planets, and on the origin oflife on earth. A leader in the laboratory synthesis of such organic molecules as amino acids and ATP, important for understanding the early history of life, he also played a major role in obtaining the first closeup photos of the moons of Mars and in studying surface changes on that planet from the Mariner 9 spacecraft. Former NBC News correspondent Pauline Frederick will speak at MiraCosta College February 10, at 8 p.m., another in the Palomar-MiraCosta. lecture series.

work through overseas reporting, covered the Nuremberg trials, and then to NBC. Covering the United Nations for NBC, Frederick has seen twenty years of history in the making: The Korean War, four Middle East wars, the Cuban missle crisis, and the entrance of the People's Republic of China to the UN. At the same time that Pauline Frederick is lecturing at MiraCosta, another in Community Service's travel film series will be shown in P-32. • Israel, once described as a land flowing with milk and honey, will be presented by filmmaker William Stockdale.
