Aids challenge welfare program In an effort to better an existing welfare practice, three representatives of student aid programs in North County flew to Sacramento last month to present their case to the state legislature. Frank Hankin, Finacial Aid officer at Palomar, Ben Lucero, Extended Opportunities Programs and Services Director at Palomar, and Colleen Richardson of the Legal Aid Society in Oceanside spoke to the Department of Benefit Payments, Office of Regulation and Development. Hankin outlined the reasons for the trip. "Our overall attempt is for better communications between the Welfare Department and special services in colleges. More specifically, our desire is for the Welfare Department to stop reducing the recipient's monthly welfare allotments when they receive money in any form from the colleges." Said Hankin,"Our comments were favorably received."

Catalog explains optional grading Optional credit / no credit grading is explained in catalogs available here every fall, yet few students know how to take advantage of it. Credit / no credit grading is based on whether students get a Cor above in a course, which gives them credit, or D or below. No letter grade is given, meaning that the course isn't figured into your GPA. I Eligibility for the system is ~ased on having 12 or more units with a 2.0 average or better. Only one course of this iype may be taken each semester, and that course cannot be in any major field of study. Counselor Inger Singh explained that students who elect to take credit/no credit courses often have high GPA's (such as 3.0 or above) and don't want this average brought down by a C, D or F. He added that students often take a required course they aren't particularly good in with this kind of grading. According to counseling statistics, about two percent of Palomar's population takes one credit/no credit course each semester. Growing awareness of the program is causing a rising number of students to try courses on a credit/no credit basis.
Rape film scheduled

Bicentennial TV interviews air this month
Modern 'radicals' have ·mellowed · By Dave Reynolds Remember the good old days of Berkeley, Watts, Kent State, Richard Nixon and Our Uero Spiro? Well they're gone for good,hopefully. Haight-Ashbury highs have been replaced by the Blue Chip Blues. Instead of cities trying to entice a national political convention, the common opinion is "Don'L let 'em in town." Draftcard burning has been replaced by bra burning. To top it off, "King Richard" has now become the "Casa Pacifica · prisoner.'' ·· But the biggest change since the middle sixties has been in the forms of protest against social ills. American radicals have softened their spproach. In 1967 Mary Wanna would have smoked dope on the governor's doorstep . Now Lucinda-J ,;.,egalization tries to persuade some politicians to change their minds through the good 'ole methods of lobbyists. Namely: threats, bribes, freetrips, girls, guaranteed contributions to political campaigns, ad nauseum. For ·a good example of the changes in American attitudes over the past decade, examine the American military m a,chine ..' Common recruiting slogans during the hey,Clay of Vietnam should have read "We'll Get You Yet," '"Join Up Now and Save 'Us the Trouble," or the ever-preserit "Uncle Sam Needs, Desires, and Orders You · to Get Your Behind Bla's ted,.'' ' ' Today's military has all the spit and polish, all work and no play of a pair of faded Levi's. Slogans today (heavily influenced be·,Madison Avenue) resemble
toothpaste commercials. extolling the benefits of a four year hitch. "Uncle Sam Desires Your Aid," and "We'll Cater to Your Every Whim ifYouJustSign Up," are samples. During Vietnam, the government spent col,lntless billions of bucks inflating the American economy through needless military spending. As a result of this, the American consumer is finding his earning power decreased, taxes going up, and the economy in a helluva mess. Unemployment has hit an 11% high already, and some signs indicate that it may go up even higher. A decade ago women's liberation was never mentioned. Today certain members of the American public await the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment with baited breath. In 1968 Richard Nixon was elected by a slim majority. In 1972 he was reelected by a landslide. In 1974 he became the first _person ever to resign the office of president. It is obvious that corruption caused his downfall. It is an unfortunate fact of life that corruption exists, and has existed in high office for time immemorial. It is only public awareness, lacking in the early and middle sixties, that has brought about the beginnings of control. The above examples show that the modern "radical" has mellowed. Today he or she works from within the system, rather than without. The same reforms that were being pushed on college campuses eight years ago are now platforms for political office.
Interracial coalition seeks balanced political awareriess "Political awareness on all philosophies is something that is absent on all campuses," according to John Valdez, head of the Multicultural Studies Department. Valdez along with Michael King, coordinator for Afro Americ~n :Studies, is an adviser for the newly formed organization, "Coalition for Liberation and Unity." "We want the coalition to educate the campus and community politically, making them more aware of political realities, movements and philosophies," said King. r '"Coalition for Liberation and Unity is te be completely interracial. We are trying to attract students, faculty and community people' from all corners and walks of life. ·"The coalition would like to offer an educational balance that presents these people with all view points, thus creating a free political atmosphere," continued King. Right now the coalition is in the process of writing their principles, -goals and objectives for their constitution.

pool gets solar·h·eating unit
Approval was giv'en las't week for a solar hea't ing unit to be used at Wallace Memorial Pool by the Board of Governors at their bi-monthly meeting. The $38,000 project will go to bid following a state plans check in Sacramento. According to John D. Schettler, assistant superintendent· in charge of business, "the bids will be opened by the first half of December." Schettler indicated that approximately $5,600 has been spent annually for natural gas to heat the Wallace pool. Reportedly, the solar installation will cut the heating bill by as much as 80 percent. · The unit will be comprised of a series of "collector ·panels," which store energy and transfer that energy to the pool by pumping and r.e circulating the water. Approximately 60 days will be required for the installation. In other business the board approved a five-year master plan which includes the construction of 36 new offices for wings three and four of the Staff Office Building at a projected cost of$195,000. · In a related decision, comprising part of the master plan, $227,000 was approved for land acquisition. No action was taken on an interdistrict attendance agreement with MiraCosta College following MhaCosta's 'refusallast week to approve the plan. Palomar previously revised a MiraCosta ''endorsed proposal which, when returned to Mira Costa for final approval was rejected by that school.
"We wii1 consider any philosophies that are progressive and revolutionary," said King. "We also want to explore different economic realities and conditions of Chicanos, Blacks, Latin Americans, and women in our society." Coalition for Lib~ration and Unity plans to sponsor many activities, such as a film series and an open speaker forum. "We want to have an open speaker forum whereby different progressive and revolutionary speakers could come and express their views and philosophies. "The documentary 'Hearts and Minds' will be one of the first films shown dealing with the realities of Vietnam," said King. Meetings are planned for once a week, Monday or Friday at noon in the Mecha office temporarily. The coalition also plans to have gatherings at member's homes. "All campus and community people are invited to attend and bring their personal contributions to build a better campus," said King.

In keeping with the campus' bicentennial observance, the Department of Community Services is producing a series of television interviews with longtime residents of San Marcos and other areas of the North County. Tentatively set to be aired this month, the programs are produced and directed by Ron Page, production specialist, video-film. Technical crews are provided by the Regional Occupations Program TV with radio-television students acting as associate directors and producers. The interviews will be aired over Cablevision in San Marcos, Vista and Escondido. According to Page, several North County senior citizens have already been interviewed and more are scheduled. The purpose of the interviews is to " capture some of the history in this area. "We are going to find out in the coming year just about everything that somebody thinks we will be interested in as regards what happened in national matters, and we're going to find out in our regional newspapers what our state or southwest history was," Page ascertained. "The hope was that a community college concerned with community needs and interests could spend some time trying to fill the gap left by other sources. One way to do it (fill the gap) is to talk to the people who grew up here. That's basically what we've done so far," replied Page. "They (the interviews) aren't filled with all kinds of surprises, such as signings of the Declaration of Independance.. .but people lived here and now we live, work or go to school here and it's interesting to know what it was like," stressed Page. Among those interviewed is Sheldon Merriam, the granddaughter-in-law of Major Gustavus F. Merriam, the first settler in Twin Oaks Valley which is now San Marcos. Also interveiwed were Mr. and Mrs. Homer Huchtin of Escondido, Louise Fulton Hard of San Marcos, Ed Bucher of San Marcos, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mathes of Escondido and Dr. Charles Schroeder of San Pasqua!. In relation to the interviews, Page is " looking for anybody who has anything to contribute on the history and/ or development of the area." He can be contacted in room L-7. Tapes of the interviews will be kept in the learning center for future reference.
Contest seeks patriotic art An original sculpture with a patriotic theme will grace City Hall in San Marcos on July 4, 1976. The bicentennial sculpture will be created by a Palomar college student. The winning piece of art will be selected from among three finalists, chosen from sketches submitted by December 1 to the San Marcos Bicentennial Committee selection committee. The three artists will produce scale models which will bejudgednextMarch, at which time the winner will be commissioned to produce the finished sculpture. All three finalists will be awarded cash prizes from the San Marcos Rotary Club, according to its president, Arthur Lindquist. First prize will be $200, with a $75 second prize and a $50 third prize. The sculpture must be at least four feet tall, designed for mounting on a pedestal which will also be designed by the winning artist. Entry rules established by the San Marcos Bicentennial Committee specify that the sculpture must have a clearly recognizable , non-abstract, patriotic theme.

The National theme is "A Past to Remember: A Future to Mold," which embraces the country's past, present, and future. Rita White, chairman of the Art Department, is serving as consultant to the San Marcos Bicentennial Committee. Palomar Governing Board president Richard Kornhauser will be in charge of judging. Students eligible for the competition must be carrying a minimum of 12 units of Palomar College credit, and must be able to meet the established deadlines.

JUST TOO GREEN TO BURN' .

Student defeats adversity By S. Alison Woodham George " Sweed" Swanson's philosophy on life is "accept that which you can't change, but change that which you can." It's common philosophy, but what makes the words more meaningful in this particular case, is that they are spoken by a man who wears a brace on his left leg. Sweed is one individual among 250 handicapped students registered on and off campus. What makes him so unique? He epitomizes a man with fighting spirit. During the lengthy course of this interview, Sweed entered Tri-City Hospital in criti c al condition for bacterial pneumonia . His recovery was miraculous according to the doctors. "I'm just too green to burn. The good Lord must want me to stay here," he said. Story is melancholy His life story is melancholy, but one which should be appreciated and envied. Ten years ago in the fall of 1965, Sweed was involved in a motorcycle accident and was told that he would never walk again. Five months after hospitalization, he walked out of the ward on braces and a cane. He and his wife (newlywed four months) were riding on a motorcycle going from Titusville, Florida to Memphis, Fla., when the accident occurred. "We had just bought the motorcycle and I'd been driving all day, so my wife asked me if she could drive," he said. "She hadn't driven a bike quite that big, but she knew how to ride. I don't know exactly what happened, but apparently she looked back at me, and when she did, the bike drifted a good seven inches across the center line. "We went head-on with a car and she was killed instantly. I was thrown about sixty feet before I reached the ground " he said. ' Sweed enters hospital Sweed was transferred to a hospital in his home town in Minnesota a month and a half later. "I went into the orthopedic clinic at the University of Minnesota where they wanted to fuse my ankle. "I refused. After a period of time they looked at my x-rays and said they could find no medical reason why my ankle healed. It just happened," he said. Today however, he suffers from arthritic growth in his left leg-lower back, as well as rheumatism.

'FUN' IS IDEA OF RIP SAYS DIREOOR WARD
lntramurals plans events By D. Bryan Reynolds "The idea of intramurals is to have fun. It's not completely competitive, but it does have some competitive aspects to keep it interesting. Mainly, intramurals allows the non-intercollegiate athletes to keep up their sports and have fun ," comments Dana Ward, Palomar Recreational Intramural Program (RIP) director. "Our biggest upcoming event is a rock concert in the Student Union at 8 p.m. November 21, featuring Corky Carroll and the Funk Dog Surf Band. Carroll, a · five-time US National Surfing Association champion, has got a band together. He has three women, an electric violin, drums, bass, piano, and himself on the guitar. "Carroll's band plays a mixture of Dan Hicks and the Hot licks and the Beach Boys. They're really good too. "Proceeds from the concert will go into the intramural program, hopefully to buy T-shirts to use as prizes at our events." Tickets to the concert are available at the Student Activities Office and Hansen Surfboards in Encinitas. Advance tickets are $3.00,$3.50 at the door, $2.50 for ASG card-bearing student's . "Gabriel Wisdom, KGB disc-jockey, will be the guest master-of-ceremonies. Also appearing with the Funk Dog Surf Band will be Marico, a band made up of Palomar students. "We h a ve a lot of other events planned for the year. We've already got 32 teams signed up for a mixed-doubles volleyball tournament at Moonlight Beach (in Encinitas). There's also a two-day bike trip to Cuyamaca, an arm-wrestling tournament and a badminton tournament. "Chief among our goals in the intramural program is to get a weightlifting contest started and have horseshoes set up on campus. When the handball-racquetball courts get completed, we'd like to get something going there. Maybe even something involving the ski hill," mused Ward.
"After the basketball season is over, we'd like to get an indoor volleyball tournament going." CI.Jrrently, RIP has a basketball tournament that plays every Thursday night at8 p.m. in the Dome. Also there is a volleyball team that plays with the US National Volleyball Association every Saturday at 'various colleges. Intramural events that have already been completed include a 10-mile beach run at Moonlight, a coed doubles tennis tournament, and an adult swimming program. "All of the intramural programs are open to students, staff and faculty of Palomar. In some cases, we also allow people to bring their friends from offcampus." · Stressing that the purpose of th e intramural program is to have fun, Ward does everything he can to make each event enjoyable to the participants. "We
Dana Ward
provide food and refreshments at most of the events. At the end ofthe tennis tournament, we had a barbeque. "The biggest problem the intram urals program has is that people are so spread out. It's hard to get a lot of people· together." Ward began his involvement with the RIP program in the spring semester of 1974. "I started out by taking a team sports class with coach Woods. The next year, Woods recommended me to Tony Lynds as student intramural director and I got hired." Presently Ward is the adult intramural director, and is attending classes at San Diego State. A physical education major, he has set his sights on a B.A. degree.
Jazz concert set Sunday in Dome Under the direction of David Chase and Bob Gilson, the Jazz Rock Vocal Ensemble and Palomar's Stage Band will combine in their first concert of the semester Sunday at 8 p.m. in the Dome. Both groups will give a free preview of the concert today at 11 a .m. in front of the Student Union. Chase's Jazz Rock Ensemble, consisting of auditioned singers only, will present the first half of Sunday's con· cert. The Stage Band will play the next half with featured tunes by Thad Jones, Jadd Mcintosh, Sam Nestico and Ray B:r:o~. In addition to the standard jazz ensemble compositions, the Stage Band has added some-vocals to its repertoire and will feature songs sung by J oretta Wright and Scott Chamberlain. Tickets are available at the Music Department or at the door the night of the concert for $1.
He made up his mind long before the motorcycle incident, that nothing was going to stop him from living life to the fullest . It wasn't his first encounter with death, not his first unfortunate experience. "I was struck by lightning in 1962 and consequently spent two and a half years in and out of the hospital. I did odd jobs on the outside to pay my doctor bills and support my family," he said. At the time of the incident, ·sweed was working for a security guard service in Minnesota. He was sitting in a watchhouse on a boat-dock when the lighting struck the telephone wires running to the shed. Lightning makes impact The impact blew a hole through the wall, adjacent to where Sweed was sitting with his feet propped on a desk. The electric current jumped onto the desk, burned through his two inch rubber soles ran up his leg and came out his lower back. Consequently, one out of every three of his muscle and nerve endings in his legs and lower ba ck were severed.
The roads he has travelled have brought sad experiences as well as happy ones. Before Sweed came to Californi'a ten months ago, he had experienced nearly a hundred different jobs in nearly all fifty states. He roamed the country like a " Swedish gypsy," doing .everything from selling sewing machines to driving a diesel rig. His last employment before coming here was driving a rig and hauling grain for a man in Fort Scott, Kansas. When the grain market fell through, Sweed's job also disappeared. A friend in California spoke of a job opening, so Sweed and his family packed th eir bags. However, when they got here, there was no job and no friend. Since Sweed was handicapped and he had no skill, he turned to the Vocational Rehabilitation Service, which is run by the state h a ndicapped department, and registered in a two-year college program here.

Locals host Riverside for Homecoming Cellar dweller Riverside (1-6) will be hosted by the local football team tomorrow night at the Comets' annual homecoming game. The game will be played at Vista High School. Coronation of the Homecoming Queen will be held at approximately 7 p.m. with the kickoff following at 7:30. The queen will make a reappearance at half-time. Homecoming queen candidates are: DeAnn Disney from Alpha Eta Rho ; Farnaz Sharfrazi of the International Club; ·. Maureen Geyer from the Womens Intercollegiate Athletic Association; Robin Wilson of the Business Club; Carol Wood of Alpha Gamma Sigma; Francine Riley from the Young Democrats; Sharon Golden of the Black Student Alliance;Elaine Reed from Delta Sigma Alpha Pi, and Maria Velarde from MECHA. Riverside, winless in conference action, will confront the Comets, the losers in a 37-3 game with Saddleback last Saturday. Riverside has had two close conference games: a 17-14 loss to Chaffey, and a 19-14 loss to Southwestern. Previous to the Saddleback encounter, the Comets were 2-2 in conference action, and riding on a two-game win streak. Though a 37-3loss is disappointing, it certainly isn't demoralizing, said Mack
Wei be. The locals are rated as favorites to win the homecoming game and get back to .500 in conference games. Palomar got on the score-board first against the Gauchos. On Saddleback's second play, Ta b Yetzer recovered a fumble at their 27. After advancing to the nine, the Comet drive stalled and Randy Johnson connected on a 27-yard field goal at 12:01 for the score. Saddleback got on the board at 6:35 in the first, Jim Goldstone connecting on a 34-yard threepointer to tie the game. On the next two Palomar punts the locals got burned. Mike Drollette booted the ball 28 yards, and saw it returned 28 yards to the Comet 27 setting up a 27 yard field goal by Goldstone. In the second quarter , Drollette hit a 35-yarder that was returned 32 yards. Two plays later, Jim DeBord passed to Mark Dobis for the game's first touchdown. If the Comets thought the first half was bad, the second half was a total disaster. Palomar turned the ball over on their first five possessions, with the Gauchos scoring after four of them. Comet signal-caller George Dickerman threw 2
interceptions , the first resulting in the third field goal by Saddleback, this one a 22-yarder by Jim Green. Dickerman's second interception was run back 28 yards into the Comet end zone by George Gay at 7:19 in the third. Reserve quaterback Kurk Clarke fumbled the ball on the third Palomar possession, but Saddleback was unable to convert the error. Chuck Vanliew took the ball over from the one for the third Gaucho TD moments after Dickerman fumbled at the local 14. The final Gaucho score came at 10 :43 in the last period, an eight-yard pass from DeBord to Kevin McGarry following another Dickerm.an fumble at the local 's 34. Late in the game, the Comets advanced to the Gaucho 41, where a 48-yard field goal by Johnson was wide. Penalties provided an interesting side-light to the game. The Comets were assesed eight markoffs for 72 yards, while Saddle back was penalized 13 times for 103 yards. In one Saddleback drive there were nine penalties assesed against both teams. The "drive" went Saddleback, -15; Palomar,-15,-5; Saddleback, -15; Palomar, -14; Saddleback -5,-5 and -1 5.
Poloists end year against Chaffey A victory would give sole possession of third place to the Comets, but a Palomar loss would cause a three-way tie with Chaffey and Citrus for the third slot.

THIRD-YEAR ARCHER SCOTT PAGE
An untypical All-American By D. B. Reynolds Most people's conception of an AllAmerican is a six-foot plus, heavily muscled football, basketball, or baseball player. Scott Page, an All-American archer at Palomar, does not conform to that stereotype. Page, a criminal justice major, is a third-year archer. His second-place finish at the National Collegiate Archery Finals last year earned him a place on the 10-man All-American team. Currently, Page has won every tournament this year. He won at the Long Beach tourney and at the Southwest Regional States Championships. He has also qualified for further advancement in two FITA (Federation of International Target Archers) olympic trials. Becoming an archer was an accident, explained Page. "I needed one more unit in the fall semester of '73, and all of the classes were closed. A girl in front of II_le turned in a drop slip for archery, so I signed up. "I was in beginning for one semester and in the fall of last year I joined th~ team," exclaimed Page. "Miss Ayers (Mildred Ayers, archery coach) saw something in me and gave me good coaching. At first I did a lot of practicing because I was so far behind everyone else. I would get to school at 8 a.m. and shoot until sunset. "An event that really got me going was the opportunity to buy a bow of the
Leading the receivers was Bill Bowker with five catches for 37 yards. Bob Stevens had four recpetions for 47 yards, Chris Hodge caught two passes, while Don LeBlanc, Stu Patterson and Bernie Wolf had one each. Though the passing attack gained some yar· dage , the running attack was bogged down . The locals ran 29 running plays, and picked up only 26 yards, an average of .9 yards per run. Hodge picked up 27 yards on eight carries, Bob Hope gained 19 yards on nine runs, and Wolf ran the ball for 12 on four possessions. On the minus side of the ledger, Clarke got hit three times for minus 14 yards, while Dickerman lost 18 on five sacks. Saddle back picked up 281 yards (13 of23 passes for 166 yards and 43 runs for 115 yards). Palomar closes out their 1975 season a week from Saturday when the local's face San Bernardino at Vista. Game time is 7:30p.m.
Wrestlers debut against Fullerton
Today's game against Chaffey marks the close of a season and a battle for third place for the local waterpolo team. Game time is at 3:30 p.m. in Chaffey's pool.
In games played last week the Comets routed Riverside 16-4, then split a doubleheader being trounced by Ventura 16-3 and then pounding Santa Barbara 20-5. Against Riverside the locals put victory away early building an 8-1 lead at the half and never looking back. The Moss brothers, Randy and Steve, led the Comet offense, scoring six and two goals, respectively. Steve Moss added five assists, while hole-man Bob Maag accounted for four others. The Ventura game was a total team collapse with the Comets surrendering the highest goal total (16) and scoring their lowest goal production (3). The Comet goals were scored by Jon Boosinger, Maag, and Randy Moss. In the Santa Barbara game the locals set a seasonal mark for the largest margin of victory (15 goals). The Comet offense was led by sophomore Randy Moss who scored his second six-goal game of ths week while adding two assists and four steals. Also playing well for the Comets were Maag, three goals, two assists; Jon Boosinger, three goals, one assist; Brent Krantz and Jerry Boosinger each getting two goals and two assists. The Comets had a third game scheduled last week against Hancock which was forfeited, but the Comets competed in a scrimmage against the Ventura Waterpolo Club with the locals taking an 11-7 victory. The Comet seasonal mark now stands at 14-9-1.
Saddleback gained 10 yards on that series. The locals gained 135 total yards on 57 plays. Dickerman completed 13 of26 aerials for 91 yards, while Clarke had one ot two tor Hl yards.

All-American Scott Page takes aim on a distant target. same type used by the scl.ool for $50. Page has set his sights high. "In college, I hope to win the nationals this year. This is the last season I can shoot
in college, and I want to make the most of it. Outside of school, I'd like to go to the Olympics." Being a good archer takes a lot of practice and dedication. Says coach Ayers, "Scott is one of the most dedicated archers I know. He really tries to do well, and puts in a lot of practice on his own. Last year he averaged nearly 30 hours of practice a week." - When not shooting at school, Page practices on a 60-yard course set in his parents avocado grove. Only one problem plagues Page: getting his shoulder in the right position. "If you don't get your shoulder in exact lock position, your bow will waver and your arrows will not go where you want them to." Archery is an intensely mental sport, requiring deep concentration. "Archery is 99 percent in the head. If you can shoot so many arrows a game, physically, then the only thing;-you have to worry a bout is your head. As soon as you get mental pressure, pressure builds up in the fingers and your arrows start doing strange things." As far as competitors go, Page's only main rival on the west coast is Gary Riley of San Bernardino. "Gary is really cooking now. Last year,we traded spots a lot. I'd beat him in one tournament, and he'd beat me in the next. We may be rivals, but we're also good friends," commented the All-American.
Fullerton will be the first opponent of the Palomar wrestling team this season, facing the locals at 7:30 p.m. tonight in the Dome. John Woods, Comet wrestling coach states that Fullerton had one state champion last year, and has a lot of good freshmen this year. Palomar, sixth in the state last season, is rated as the top dual match team in the state. "This year's team has better balance than last year's team , though having 50 percent freshmen makes it tough. Although we have a slew of freshmen who were great in high school, it's up to them to prove to me that they can do the job," said Woods . Returning to Palomar after an absence are Dennis Zabinsky and Jimmy Hamada. Zabinsky was sixth in the state at 190 pounds in 1973~and Hamada was sixth at 126 in 1972. Bob Northridge (142). Kim Cline (134), Larry Christman (158) and Don Barrios (150) are the returning starters from last year. Starting freshmen are Tad Overmire from Orange Glen, who was first in CIF and sixth in the state at 116: Glen Thorsen from Escondido ~ second in CIF at 177, now wrestling 167; Steve Sawyer for Oceanside, first in CIF at 177, and se-
