Bookstore gala celebrates expansion today By Bart Clements Prizes, free tickets; and refreshments highlight the bookstore's Open House beginning today at 10 a.m. and ending at 6 p.m. tonight. All students are invited to join the fun at the newly remodeled facility. Drawings will be held every half hour for free prizes (rom the bookstore's vendors. Gifts include: clocks, radios, car blankets, dishes, a mechanical drawing set, and stainless flatware. Free tickets will be given out as students enter the store. Refreshments of punch, coffee, and cookies will be supplied by the store's employees. Winners of drawings need not be present to win.
A list of winners will appear in next week's issue of The Telescope. With half of the semester already past, the bookstore is continuing to increase sales and stock in its remodeled building. According to Virginia Dower, manager of the store, "We're probably increased our inventory by $50,000, or 25%, overall since the start of school." Dower also reports a 30% rise in overall sales since last year.'"Part of this can be attributed to inflation and increased enrollment, but about halfis due to the remodeling." The store has already sold about 70,000 textbooks since the first of the seester. Yet, little money is actually made in this department. It is the other areas of the store which eam the most profit, and
these were consequently expanded. The number of items in the art and photography sections has increased about 25%, while there has been a 50% increase in the items in areas of stationary, gifts, cards, and clothes. "We have always sold clothes in the store," Dower said. "This year, however, we featured new types of clothing and have nearly quadrupled the amount sold before." The two unique art pieces in the store, a real tree with painted leaves to create the illusion of growing in the store and a brass and copper representation of the college seal, have been a welcome part of the shop. Art instructor Anthony Lugo, who fashioned the copper emblem, is presently working
on an original metal piece which will fit on the back of the present one to be seen from the inside of the store. Looking into the future, Dower sees the addition of a patio above the bookstore. "It will serve as a place for students to socialize and will contain tables, some roof garden plants, and possibly a snack bar. There is no set date, but hopefully the project will be completed before the school year is over." Dower is very pleased with the remodeled version of the bookstore. "The new store is everything we ever hoped to have. One reason it runs as smoothly as it does is that the students themselves are the best customers."

CHAIRPERSON VOTED UNANIMOUSLY
Legislature picks O'Brien Ray O'Brien was selected as chairperson of the new Student Legislature at its first regular session last week. O'Brien received a unanimous vote from the floor of the legislature to succeed outgoing chairperson Karen Haselton who did not run for re-election. According to O'Brien, his new duties as the chairperson include "Clarifying much of the ambiguous legislation to the audience. " I believe that one of the reasons for a lack of participation (by the student body) is a lack of understanding, and it is the chairperson' s job to explain policy and procedure ... "My primary goal is to increase student participation in all areas of student affairs. Student Legislature meetings are open to the students and we welcome
complaints, suggestions and participation," added O'Brien. O'Brien feels that the students "Have much more power in the running of this school than they have ever realized, and I hope to make use of some of this power for the student's end." Associated Student Govemment president Mark Good was in attendance at the session and he urged the legislature to "Work with the administration," in accomplishing their goals in the coming year." Good also briefed the legislators on the various programs and committees that the student government is participating in. Many of the legislators are in agreement that communications within the
student body is somewhat of a problem. John Couture hopes that the legislature will be able to "Get the current news out to the students in a timely manner so that the students can take action in enough time." Lori Kimber, one of two new legislators said, "I feel that the students of Palomar can do a lot for this community. All the students have to do is try and put forth a little effort." She went on to say that "The communications between the student body and their government could be strengthened." Taking a stronger stand on basic issues was Reuben "Doc" Holladay. He lists his primary goals as "Getting service in the snack bar oriented to the student's needs and getting some positive action on the parking problem."

Twenty-three courses in aviation and air transportation are currently being offered here. Palomar has gained widespread recognition for its quality and scope in pilot training, which inclu.d es degree and certificate programs in aeronautical operations, aeronautics, air traffic control, airport management and airport services.

Travel series gives insight into Greek history Monday Greece, a nation which stands with one foot in antiquity and the other firmly planted in the 20th Century, will be the subject of a documentary film presentation Monday at 8 p.m. in P-32. Filmmakers Sherilyn and Matthew Mentes traveled to historic sites, to cities and villages in all regions of Greece to produce a total picture of the land that is so often referred to as the birth place of Westem civilization. Their film, Greece, reveals a sympathetic insight into the history and the lives of the Greek people today. Athens is a crowded, bustling city with problems of smog and traffic jams. High above the city, however, stands the incredible grandeur of the Acropolis, a constant reminder of ancient glory. In the Plaka district, sellers of sponges, pretzels and com-on-the-cob fill the air with their shouts. In the same district is also found a quiet little shop where a sandal-maker recites his own poetry while customers try on his handmade shoes. In the northern mountains of the
mainland, the Vlachs speak a language with a Latin base. Legend says they are the guardians of the Roman highway. For centuries, their culture has been based on the weaving and trading ofFlokati rugs made from local wool. The rugs, still made in the traditional manner, are shown. in various stages of manufacture in the Mentes film. One-fourth of Greece's land area is in its islands, and each group has a lifestyle adapted to its own climate and terrain. On Hydra, the fishermen stretch their nets against a backdrop of dazzling white-washed houses. In an old, winery on Santorini, the grapes are still pressed by bare feet. And on Rhodes, the men compete at backgammon in the shadow of a castle built by the Crusaders. The film is part of the Travel Film series sponsored by the Palomar Department of Community Services. Individual admission for non-series ticket holders is $1.
