Ellis, Jazz Ensemble perform tomorrow Don Ellis, internationally known trumpet player, will stage a repeat performance of last year's concert with his long-time drummer Ralph Humphrey and the Palomar College Jazz Ensemble tomorrow night in the Dome at 8 p.m. Tickets are $2.50 for general admission and $1 for students with ID cards. Ellis, who has played with the best professionals, also enjoys playing with amateur bands. "Working with high school and college bands can be more exciting than playing with the top pros," says Ellis, "and the Palomar group is one of the best college bands I've ever played with." Ellis adds that because of their youthful enthusiasm, young musicians with proper guidance can bring an intensity and emotional depth to the music which may be missing in a professional performance. Ten years ago Ellis was largely

Biology students explore Baia on week-long trip Equally interesting are Cedros, Islas 8an Martin and San Bonito. Rising up from an oceanic mountain chain, these coastal islands offer wide fields for geology and anthropology studies as well as biology. Nearly extinct species such as the Northern Elephant seal and the Osprey reside in these islands and offer a perspective found nowhere else in the world. "This trip is more than a biological adventure. It's a total live-together-inharmony experience," commented Knapp. Two units of credit are available for the class. For more information concerning the class or fees, contact Knapp in ST-36 or Stevens in LS-5.

there are presently 40 team members." Reflecting on the accomplishments of the team and giving expectations for the coming tournaments, Sansom said, "We have four returning competitors and with the caliber of incoming people we are setting our sights for number one." The team placed fourth in the nation during the 1974-75 competitive year and according to Sansom, "Palomar College is highly respected in the speech community. "The national tournament for all junior colleges will be held in Chicago this year, and we're hoping that the funds raised from our raffle will make it possible for us to attend the tournament. "Members of the speech team will be located in the Student Union at various times during the week asking for your donations. We truly do ask you to consider making a donation toward this cause," concluded Sansom.

353 Japanese planes took off from the flight decks of six Japanese on the morning of December 7 , 1941; 183 at 6 a.m. and a second wave of 170 followed at 7:15. Pearl Harbor was the objective of their lethal attack. The carriers were in a 33 ship task force which moved without de,t ection to 200 miles north of Oahu. As the planes approached the island they split into three groups.

JAPANESE INTERNED
labor camp remembered By Karen Fonseca "When I heard about the bombing of Pearl Harbor, I never anticipated what was going to happen to our family," said Mitsi Matsushita, records evaluator here at Palomar. Mitsi, along with her parents and nine brothers and two sisters lived the events following D-Day much differently than most American citizens. For three years they lived in a Japanese concentration camp. "We were just like all the other families being raised during the depression years," said Mitsi. "My family struggled and we were very poor. My dad had a farm in Lindsey, California, and there was work on it for everyone." Mitsi's parents came over from Japan in 1913. "At that time orientals were not allowed citizenship, and were considered aliens. But all of us kids were natural born citizens." Didn't believe at first "When war started we didn't believe that we would be interned, because we were citizens. We thought we were citizens up to the last minute. Our at-
titude was disbelieving that citizens could be put into camp. "Even if our parents were taken in, we were confident that we could stay and take care of the farm . "We couldn't think of siding with Japan, because we'd never even been there, or even saw the place. American was our home. Some people who had been there may have caused some problems, but as far as I was concerned, no." little by little their fears became real. Like thousands of ,other Japanese families they were subject to curfew and random search for contraband by the FBI. FBI came by "The FBI just came by one day and picked up my dad while he was tractoring in the fields, and taken to a dentention camp in San Francisco. "Soon after in July of 1942 the rest of the family was interned. The only reason we went in is because we were ordered to go in. That's about what it amounted to, whether we liked it or not. "Not too many people went in willingly,

She also remembered that "you could hardly concentrate on what was being said because of the sirens." After church Mrs. Murphy went to her job in a doctor's office where she first discovered what was actually happening. A woman brought in her father with a minor burn hoping the doctor could calm him do~n. At the same time, the doctor arrived and said Pearl Harbor was being bombed. Although the office usually had heavy business on Sundays these were the only pe<;> ple to come in that day. Bomb caused danger There was one close brush with danger. A plane intending to attack the Governor's Mansion across the street from the office, missed and the bomb exploded in the street killing a man. s·t Mrs. Murphy recalled that the J a pf!.nese "certainly had planned their attack well.

but they said it was better for our own welfare, and that we could be attacked. That could have been true, but I don't think it was the right thing to do," said Mitsi. "So our property was leased out and we left all of our belongings. They said we would be going to a very cold place and to bring warm clothing. We were then sent to Poston, Arizona, which was. the hottest place you could think of," Mitsi reflected with a thin smile.
By Dave Reynolds Turn up your hearing aids. Put on your bifocals. Wake up America, because it's time to watch that exciting new game show, "Pick A Loser.'' Tonight we have a large cast of infamous contestants, including George MeG, Ronnie the Gipper, Morry Udall, 'Gentleman Jim Garter, Gu.v'na George, Hubert, Tex Bentsen and B. Bayh. I'm your host, Rocky Megabucks. "Pick A Loser " contestants automatically win a free trip to the National Nominating Convention of their choice. The winner receives $5000 in New York City bonds. The second place finisher gets the booby prize: the Presidency of the United States. First, let's pit our current champion Jerry Edsel (winner by default over A. Beame) against Guv'na George. Whoever answers this question shall advance to further trials and fame and fortune. The loser becomes vice president. Who can tell me what the main purpose of the CIA is? Guv'na George: "The purpose of this esteemed organization is to promote the general poverty, insure domestic uproar, and secure the blessings of Marxism for us and our dependents." Rocky: "Right you are, Guv'na George. How about that fans, he got the first one right. And now concerning our deposed champion , one word of warning: 'Beware the Ides of Nixon'." Our next challenger is that proponent of change, that shy, funloving, star of stage, screen and soapbox- Ronnie the Gipper. This round's question is: "Who was the first US President to resign from office?" Ronnie: "Duh, that's a toughie." Guv'na George: "It was my close friend and associate, Richard M. (Mickey) Nixon. The poor mouse." Well it looks like Guv'na George has won another round. His third opponent is that Hoosier of fame and fortune from the Indianapolis sewer system, B. Bayh. Getting to the root of the question, let's find out who is famous for that saying, "I will not resign!" Guv'na George: "Dickie said that.'' Rocky: "Bye, bye, Bayh." From the ice-cold reaches of the Dakotas comes our next guest. Welcome please George MeG. "What two NFL teams are expected to go 13-0 and 0-13?" MeG: "Oakland and Miami?" Guv'na George: "The Vikes and the Chargers. Both do their things well. One wins and the other loses.'' Our next contestant is Tex Bentsen from the dusty reaches of the Texas oil fields. Here's another toughie for you sports buffs. "Who broke Babe Ruth's home run record?" Guv'na George: "That was Hank Aaron. Imagine him breaking the record of a white man. He oughta be horsewhipped." Since we're running out of time our next three contestants (Gentleman Jim Garter, Hubert, and Morry Udall) will compete together. The final question is, "What holiday was celebrated November 27? Guv'na George: Turkey day. Our day of national respect for all those brilliant bureaucrats who sit in their cozy offices and waste money like toilet paper.'' Our new champion, ladies and gentlemen, let's have a big bronx cheer for Guv'na George. George, your $5000 New York City Bond is on deposit in the vault of C. Arnholdt Smith, noted financial wizard. Our surprising second-place finisher is ME, Rocky Megabucks. I thank me for appointing me President of the United States. Now everyone else get offa my country, I bought it fair and square.
Poston was largest "Poston was the largest concentration camp of the nation's ten camps. There were 20,000 in Camp I and 10,000 each in the other two sections of the camp. "The camps were divided up into blocks of 16 barracks, with eight on each side. Our family slept on the straw mats and cots they provided. "The barracks were bare and when we would have those terrible duststorms , all the dust would come seeping up through the cracks in the floors . The place would be really a mess. "In the center there was a community restroom and a washroom. At the end there was a mess hall where everyone ate," Mitsi continued. Camps surrounded " Our camps were surrounded by barbed wire and there were guards all around. There were a few riots from some groups that were pro-Japan who made some commotion. But all in all it was quiet." Mitsi met her husband where she was working in the agricultural department that grew food for the mess halls. They both worked eight hours a day for $16 a month. They were married on camp and moved to a smaller barracks of their own. Here they stayed until April of 1945. "We just sort of resigned ourselves to the life after three years. Where would we go? If you couldn't go back to your own place, you'd have to go way out to a strange state. It was very hard for many of us to go out on our own.

limitations. Callup practices on the archery range from 9:30- 11 a.m., Tuesday and Thursday.

Physical handicaps in some cases, are surpassed by the strength of the human spirit. Steve Callup and Jim Pandavela are parapelegics confined to wheelchairs. But that doesn't stop them from being competitors. Pandavela is a blackbelt in judo. He teaches the art of self-defense to other individuals in wheelchairs at Long Beach Veterans Hospital in Long Beach. "It's not so much teaching them the art of self-defense, as it is teaching them to build up confidence in themselves," he said. Some may wonder why a handicapped person should bother with learning a martial art. Certainly they don't seem to have a chance. There can't be that many who are attacked. Handicapped have upper-hand Ask Panda vela and he'll answer that a person in a wheelchair who knows selfdefense has an edge on the assailant in most cases. He will add that approximately 35% of one group of handicapped veterans have been attacked at one time or the other in the past. "Most people think you can turn a wheelchair over very simply, but we've proven you can't, if you're on a level surface. The body has to come within the reach of your arm span before it comes within range of the wheelchair. "Usually, the type of person who is going to attack you if you're in a wheelchair, is unstable or drunk. Right away he has two strikes against him," he said. Tank hits landmine Pandavela is paralyzed from the mid waist down. In 1966, he was serving as a tank platoon commander with the Marines in Vietnam. The tank he was sitting on top of hit a land mine and blew him off. "I landed so far away from the site of the explosion, the helicopter which evacuated us, landed between me and where the vehicle blew," he said. Out of nine, he was the only survivor. Panda vela is a pacifist at heart and is shocked at violence, especially when it comes from him. Yet he recognizes it to be necessary at times.

Cagers compete in tourney Local basketball action continues tonight as the Comets comoete in the Antelope Valley Tournament in Lan.caster. Playing time will be determined by Palomar's performance in previous contests, the results of which were unavailable at press-time. Palomar squeaked by Glendale, 81-78, in the opening round last Wednesday, taking two overtimes to win. The locals trailed at the half 48-31, but came back to tie the score at 76 on a free-throw by Tyrone Davis with 33 seconds left in regulation. A 10-footer by Doug Morris and freethrow by Marty Beljean provided the winning margin after both teams hit once from the floor in the first extra period. Tuesday the locals host Mira Costa at8 p.m. in the Dome and Thursday they travel to the Cuesta Tournament. In Palomar's season opener Palomar fell in the last two minutes to College of the Canyons 73-71last Friday. Then the Comets lost their home opener 65-56 to East LA Saturday. Hot shooting (52% in both halves) by the all-freshman squad was the highpoint for Palomar. The Comets took the lead at 5-4 on a jumper by Ken Jackson, and quickly built up a six-point lead. COC gained a one point advantage with 39 seconds left in the half. but two Comet buckets put
the locals out in front 37-34 at the buzzer. leading 59-52 midway through thesecond half, the Comets were outscored 102, with the game being tied 63-63 on a Canyons' jumper. Comet center Fred Jane fouled out with five minutes' remaining, and the Cougars spurted to a four point 67-63 advantage. Jackson tied the game at 2:33 with two baskets but the Cougars quickly jumped back on top 71-67. Jackson pulled Palomar to within a field-goal, but a twopointer with 15 seconds left sealed the COC victory. Jackson had 18 points to lead the Comet scoring. Also in double-figures were Jane (12), Davis (12) and Dave Moore (11). Shooting percentage showed the locals hitting 32 of 62 shots from the field, and seven of 16 (43%) from the charity strip. On Saturday East LA led most of the game, outscoring Palomar 32-28 in the first half and 33-28 in the second. Reserve forward Delvin Moore put Palomar on top 24-23 with a pair of freethrows at 5:24, with Jackson adding a layup for the Comets' only lead of the game. Turnovers and poor shot selection then caused Palomar to go over four minutes without a field-goal, the only local points coming on a pair from the charity strip by Delvin Moore. 27 turnovers were committed by Palomar against East LA, compared to 14 the night before. A large number of
fouls sent Huskies to the line 20 times during the debacle, another major factor in Palomar's demise. Free-throw shooting improved as the locals hit 10 of 12 attempts (83%), but their field-goal shooting percentage dipped. They connected on 23 of 57 shots from the floor (40%). Individual scoring was paced by a 16 point performance by Davis. Jackson had 14; George Gondrezick, eight; Delvin Moore, six; and Moore had four . Mission Conference action begins January 10 when Palomar travels to Riverside.
