"I want the student government to be a tool for the students. They¡ should have someplace to go to express their concerns, someplace where their opinions are recognized as having value."
That is the feeling of Associated Student Government (ASG) president Mark Good. He further asserts that, "It can be the best tool in the world, but if nobody picks it up and uses it, it is totally ineffective." During the school year Good's administration has tackled various problems that concern each and every student on campus. In a recent interview he reasserted his views and explained some of the programs that he is involved with. One program is the parking plan. Parking plan completed "We have the complete parking plan completed and it was sent to the Governing Board last Tuesday. The first part of the package is the parking lot plan and the second part is the enforcement plan. We ran into a snag on the enforcement plan in that it cost $21,112 and that was just for one semester. It looks like about $40,000 to $43,000 a year just for campus security by students. "It was before the Administrative Council as a complete package and there was a motion on the floor to send them both to the Board of Governors for action, but it was felt that there was a great deal of extra monies included in the budget of the second part that didn't need to be there.
One-way traffic Both the parking lot and the enforcement plans were approved by the Governing Board at its meeting and they are expected to be implemented soon. The plan calls for one-way traffic around campus to allow faster moving of cars, alleviating some of the traffic problems. On the second part of the plan, students who are Criminal Justice majors will issue citations when necessary and will maintain the parking lots. Since the beginning of the school year, Good has also been working on a revamping of the west wing of the Student Union. This encompasses the area where the print shop is located and where The Telescope is printed. The plan includes a game room, a lounge and various new offices. Work will proceed According to Good, "That should transpire in 1976 or 1977, according to what I have heard from Dr. John Schettler (Assistant Superintendent in Charge of Business), as far as money goes, since we get our money for construction from the bookstore. "Another thing that we have been working on, but haven't had too much success with, is a reevaluation or a revamping of the cafeteria, since that seems to be aproblemformoststudents. "The reason too much hasn't been done there is the fact that we are working under a 105 percent cap. At the beginning of the year the Administration was talking about spending approximately $40,000 for new equipment and remodeling of the coffee house for better and faster service. That went through after we got the 105 percent cap put on. They allowed us five percent growth, but I think we grew 20 percent. Trying to get a bank "We have also been trying to get a commercial bank on campus. This I feel will help the students and generally everybody on campus -faculty, staff, administration and classified in making it a little easier for them to cash checks, obtain student loans and use of general banking services," said Good. "The reason the ASG became interested in this is because here at Palomar we do have a large faction of theater arts people who are into the drama; playwriting, the technical end, audio-visual, make-up and film and television management. "What the bureau would do for San Diego County is make it much easier for TV and film industries to operate," explained Good. Good is also working on a proposal for a Motion Picture and Television Bureau for San Diego County. Working on United Way The ASGis also working on the United Way project, which involves promotion of the Homegrown III album. These albums will be sold in the bookstore at a (Continued on page 2)

A total of seven televised courses will be offered this spring, with credit granted by Palomar College or any of the other seven community colleges in the county. TV college is a public service activity which presents college classes via participating stations KCST (ch. 39), KGTV (Ch. 10), KPBS (Ch. 15), plus local cable television stations in most areas. Most credits earned are fully transfereable to four-year institutions. "The Romance of Clay," taught by Palomar instructor Val Sanders, will be broadcast over KCST-TV (Ch. 39) from 6 to 6:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, February 3 to April 8, with on-campus meetings scheduled for February 7, March 6 and 27 and May 15. According to Sanders, "The romance of clay gives an overview of all phases of ceramics, both ordinary and extraordinary. It is geared for persons who want a general survey of basic ceramic processes and specialized techruques Each 30-minute segment features a demonstration and intervei w with an expert in the field." Topics to be viewed include architectural ceramics and brick structures throughout history; slab construction techniques demonstrated by potter Fred Olsen, who specializes in hand-building with minimal equipment; and the effects of one's enviornment by Eric Gronborg, who studies the "impact of multiples" in clay. A visit to the studio of mother and daughter Barbara Gross ari:d Joan Laib will show the operation of a working ceramics studio demonstration of a special project involving clay. Class sessions will deal with pinching, coiling and wedging, throwing, glazing and hand-crafted decoration, and the proper loading and firing of kilns. Raku, a mid-sixteenth century technique designed for the Japanese tea ceremony and kept alive through the centuries by Japanese tea masters, will be demonstrated. Sanders explained the course will cover glassblowing and enamels, which are also ceramic processes. Other TV classes will include "The Adams Chronicles, 1750-1900," a social history of the United States centered around the dramatized lives of four generations of the Adams family over 150 years. It will be broadcast Tuesdays,

Accreditation committee gets student poll results Transfer of units to other colleges within the Western Association of Schools and Colleges was the main concern of the student committee on accreditation, which recently finished compiling data from 1,118 questionnaires. The ad-hoc committee was chaired by student legislator Don Gier. Its members were Ray O'Brien, Reuben "Doc" Holladay, Fernando Dominquez, Laura Spellman and Sam Sansom, all of the Student Legislature. According to Gier, "The committee reviewed questions from previous accreditation questionnaires and selected questions that pertained to student interest areas. Committee members also formulated questions of their own in areas not covered previously." Questionnaires were passed out in selected classrooms during November, 1975. "Classes were selected by department heads, using criteria from the com-
mittee. We asked for four classes: two day and two night. Additionally, we asked that one large and one small class be included to insure student representation from a large cross-section," explainedGier. After the questionnaires were returned, the committee categorized the results into nine specific areas. These results were then forwarded to the Palomar College Self-Evaluation Committee for inclusion in its final report to the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. The questionnaire queried students on such items as instruction, bookstore facilities, classroom environment and parking facilities. There were also questions pertaining to classes, counseling, student activities, priority registration, cpmmunications and the responsiveness of the Associated Student Government. There were 77 questions in all.
rn:@JfilfŠlffi@ll~ Registration is 'ordeal' With the rising student enrollment here each semester, submission of applications is becoming quite an ordeal. Recently, applications were accepted from students requesting a priority for registration in January. To the dismay of some and routine for others, handing in the necessary forms proved a tedious task. The line starts to grow around 6 a.m., two hours before acceptance of the forms begins by the school officials. By the time the doors open and the first person submits his or her material to its appropriate destination, the line has now transgressed the 1,000 member tabulation. In this particular episode the line started at the cafeteria and wound around the tennis courts. The back members of this seemingly endless row of students could reach out and touch their neighbor who was at the front of the line. Once a particular student has reached the awaiting officials, he is stamped through and given a number which denotes the approximate date by which he can register. He then fights an even larger mass of people for the classes of his or her choice. What is even more astonishing to someone who has been waiting for two hours at the front of the line is that twenty people may be ahead of him and his submission number may turn out: to be over one hundred. Why? Because everyone and his uncle gave their applications to those willing at the front making the wait a total waste of time for those carrying their single application. Apparently, other campuses go through this same procedure according to one honest soul freezing along with the rest of his comrades. He stated that other campuses accept applications by mail. Why doesn't Palomar? It seems that this rigmarole of submitting applications could be aleviated ifthe campus would accept applications by mail and priority granted on the basis of units taken previously and also on the basis of first come, first served. If and when attendance climbs to "infinitude," a solution of this sort must

Bookstore providing THE TELESCOPE lost and found serv1ce Published on Friday of each school Have you ever left your wallet in the Student Union and had no idea where to locate it when you came back finding it gone? . if so, your problem could have been solved by a trip to the Palomar Bookstore's Lost and Found. "We get everything in the Lost and Found from clothes to car keys," said Virginia Dower, manager of the bookstore. "People who lose articles should keep checking here, because often things show up two weeks after they've been lost."
Special rates available Special rates on soft contact lenses for students and staff are available from a local optometrist if potential patients can meet certain prescription specifications and have resided in the area for six months. _ If these requirements are satisfied, then a complete visual examination and a soft contact lenses diagnostic fitting appointment may be scheduled. There is a professional fee involved which includes the visual examination, the lenses fitting, care kit and all required research related visits. If interested, call 744-2611.
Programs have been studied "There have been times when they have had to stop and take a look at some of the programs that I have presented to them, which is a good thing because anytime policy or programs are instituted they shouldn't just slide through. "The legislature, I think, has worked rather well in supporting the executive and I think the executive has worked in supporting the legislature. Because of that, we are not at odds with each other. This year, as opposed to last year, things are much more harmonious within the organization and I think we get a lot accomplished." said Good. His administration has also faced the perennial problem of communicating its ideas to the student body. Committee established "We have established a communication committee in the legislative branch. In the executive branch, we have two people who are involved in public relations. They are Bill Mennel and Bob Ross. "Communication to so many students is a near impossibility with the funds we have available at this time. Most of our funds are tied up in the financing of programs such as forensics, music,
ASG studies Telescope "The ASG has taken a hard look at The Telescope and the role it plays on campus in communicating to the students. We hope that 3ome changes will come about in The Telescope during the next semester, providing more effective communication, not only for the ASG, but for all factions on campus. Has he thought about running for reelection in the spring? Good said that he had "given some thought to running just for the simple matter of continuity between the administration and the students. "I don't know if many people realize it or not, but most people who get into student government have not been into it before. A problem you face in a two-year institution is continuity. Understanding necessary "Usually when you step into an office in the legislature or the executive, there is a three to four month period of accumulating facts and trying to understand what is going on. Then about the time you get a grip on the situation, your term of office is over. Therefore, all the goals and objectives of that administration, whatever they may be, rarely are accomplished. "I have given some thought to running, but it still remains to be seen how the rest of the year will go." In closing, Good urged all students to stop by his office and "express your views, because that is what the ASG is all about- a tool for the student here on campus."

By Dick Peacock Picking the 10 best movies of the year is a tradition of film writers that is loaded with assumptions: that the "expert" has seen everything in the past year, that the wide variety of :film experiences can be compared in a logical manner, and that we agree on a definition of the word "best." In light of the difficulties, but still desiring to put in my two cents, these are the 10 movies I liked most last year. The order in which they are listed is not one of preference. Nashville - Robert Altman connects with amazing accuracy the current style and state of moral confusion apparent in middle America. And it seems that we are all middle America. There are some great moments in this somewhat scattered film. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest- It is not the book, but Milos Foreman creates a powerful film. Jack Nicholson fans will love it. It is also reassuring to know that Hollywood can still make a humanistic statement. The Middle of the World - Alain Tanner tells a simple and very sensual story of a man and woman having an affair in the Swiss winter. The photography is superb. Hearts of the West - An off-beat and subtle comedy about the Hollywood "B" western of 4;he 30's. Jeff Bridges is becoming a brilliant comedian, very fresh in his approach to humor. Lacombe, Lucien - Louis Malle's French work about the Nazi occupation and the transformation of a peasant boy into a senseless bureaucrat. A very intelligent script and fine performances. Hester Street - Again a very human portrait of young immigrants in New York at the tum of the century. The style of the movie, the fine casting and good story make us want more from Jean Micklin Silver. The Man Who Would Be King- Most often large Hollywood productions aren't worth the effort, but John Huston interprets the Kipling tale with love and intelligence, and in the process creates a fascinating study of characters and cultures. The Story of Adele H. -Francois Truffant finally has put together a movie that matches his earliest work. His strength is his ability to capture the audience with his characters. The acting here is excellent. A Brief Vacation - Vittorio de Sica made, as his final film, a warm, honest story of an ordinary woman seeking rest in her illness. De Sica himself died shortly after and the film stands in the best tradition of Italian cinema. Shampoo - Although many went to this movie expecting a sexfarce, it turned out to have more layers than one comes to expect from Hollywood. Beverly Hills, it seems, is really just a small town. Good performances from Jack Warden and Goldie Hawn. Special Categories: Best 'B' Movie of the Year - White Line Fever- The story moves with great truck fantasies. The only shoot-out thriller in which the good guys aren't facists. Worst Movie of theY ear- Barry Lyn. don - Three very, very long hours. Stanley Kubrick set back 30 years the cause of the independent director. The movie gives new definition to the term "self indulgent." Most Interesting Non-Fiction FilmManson- Despite the exploitive publicity, this film is a strong work done with integrity and insight. Some of the reality captured has never been witnessed before on film, and hopefully won't be again. Film Humanism (CINE) 30 is being offered for the first time in the spring semester. It is an experiential class in which students and teacher will be asked to respond to film experiences from feeling as well as critical levels. It is designed for those who really wish to get involved with film. Screenplay Writing, The American Film and Independent Studies are also being offered.
Grants now offered Frank Hankin, Financial Aids Officer, urges all students who are in need of financial aid to apply for a Basic Educational Opportunity Grant (BEOG). "There are probably 500 people on campus, maybe more, who are eligible to apply for the BEOG," said Hankin. "In addition, the former restriction that the applicant could not have attended college before April 1, 1973 has been rescinded, so more students are now eligible." For further information and an application, see Hankin in the Financial Aid Office.
IT'S ' STILL A FRONTIER'
Tanner travels to Alaska
By David Barber As he strolls past the blackboard he places his hands upon his lapel, glances towards the ceiling for a moment of thought, takes a sip of coffee, and then begins to lecture. This is part of the casual approach taken towards teaching by John D. Tanner, who is in his sixth year of tea ching history here. For those who are planning to take one of Tanner 's history courses next semester, however, there is some disappointing news , as Tanner is planning to take a semester off to travel to Alaska in two trips . "I leave February for the fur rendezvous," explains Tanner. "As far as I know it's the only one of its kind in the United States. The practice was created by a trapper named John Astor. Once a year the fur trappers have a rendezvous where they auction off or trade their furs in exchange for supplies. "I'll finish off my first trip to Alaska by watching the world championship dog sled races. When I return to Alaska I wa nt to drive some dog sleds myself." Upon Tanner's second journey to Al as ka he'll visit such places as Anchorage, Fairbanks, Nome, Juneau, Haines, and Pt. Barrow, the northern most point in Alaska. "I've always had a long standing interest in Alaska and I'd like to write a thesis covering Alaska's role in western expansion." Tanner feels that most books on western expansion have sadly neglected the role Alaska has played. " Whenever I read a book concerning America's western movement, I can't find a single chapter dealing with Alaska ," exclaims Tanner. "I feel that's a great injustice. "Many people considered the frontier closed in 1890, just when Alaska was beginning. In fact Alaska is still a frontier today. "There are a great many similarities between Alaska's frontier and those of other western states. For example, Alaska possessed great mineral discoveries, was populated by Native Americans , and is in general a rugged land in which to live. "I think it will also be interesting to compare the development of the Alaska pipeline with the expansion of the railroad. In short, I want to see if we've learned anything. Although Alaska is still a frontier, it has the aid of modern technology and the obstacles of preserving the environment." T a nner has written nine theses previous to this one, although most of his works have concerned his favorite pasttime , his Siberian Huskies . Tanner is a member of the board of directors for an organization of Californi a ns interested in the breeding and caring of Siberian Huskies . He has also had the enjoyment of seeing his dogs pla ce in competition. "I guess I first got interested in dogs

when I read Call of the Wild back in the third grade," says Tanner with a grin on his face. Tanner is also an amateur wine-maker where he makes his "legal iimit every year." Born in the state of Virginia, Tanner has spent his last 28 years here in California where he now resides in Fallbrook. Although happy as a teacher, his goal in life was at first to become an attorney-at-law. "I graduated from Pomona College in 1965 and was admitted to UCLA law school as a pre-law student," explains Tanner. "A pre-law student must major in either history, political science, economics, or philosophy. As it was, I chose history . " During the summer, however, I decided that I no longer cared to become an attorney. Having made that decision lfelt it was time to market my hobby. I had the choice of carrying on in history or becoming a full-time life guard." Tanner feels that when you get right down to it, there is really no comparison between his own campus life and the students here at Palomar. " For one thing," responds Tanner, "students were younger when I attended college. The average student here at Palomar is 22 years old. Since we were all full-time students, I felt the demands on us were much greater. And for a student to drop out of a class halfway through the semester was unheard of. The most obvious difference, of course, is that there is not much spirit here at . Palomar." Tanner strongly believes that an individual owes it to himself to study his nation's history. "Everyone should be interested in the
history of his country," declares Tanner. "This isn't a super-patriotic philosophy, I just feel every nation's history formulates the way its people think . "With an identity crisis being so widely discussed today, I would think more people would want to become interested in history. It can help people understand why other people act the way they do. "Knowledge and understanding of American history can help people realize why some things are the way they are, and also makes them capable of understanding how to change what they feel is wrong."

TACKLE TIGERS TODAY
Cagers beat Chaffey After evening their conference record at 1-1, the Comet cagers will travel to Mission Viejo High School to take on top-ranked Saddleback at 8 p.m. tomorrow. The locals opened Mission Conference play with an 89-76loss to Riverside, but came back to down Chaffey 80-57 Wednesday. In the early going of the Chaffey game, the Panthers hung close to the Comets, but with the score tied at 4-4, Palomar went on a 19-4 spurt which left the locals with a commanding 23-8 lead at the 8:29 mark. The Panthers played the Comets even the remainder of the half, but Palomar still held a strong 43-28lead at intermission. Palomar outscored Chaffey 37-29 in the second stanza as Gilmour cleared his bench for the final 10 minutes. In the Riverside game, the Tigers pounced quickly into the lead at 12-5, as their full court press took its toll on the Comets. Palomar closed the gap to five at 15-10 after Doug Morris connected from the foul line. But the hosts expanded their lead to 23-12 as they continually harrassed the Comets into turnovers which lead to open layups. The main culprit for the Tigers' press was Derrick Melvin. The 5'10" guard scored 18 points to lead his team to a 5837 halftime lead. The opening minutes of the second half saw the Comets playing the Tigers even, but not gaining ground. "Riverside beat us in the first half because we weren't getting back on defense, and it gave them a lot of cheap ¡ baskets," said coach Andy Gilmour With his team going nowhere Gilmour sent in reserves Steve Martin and Delvin Comet center Fred Jane drives Moore in hopes of sparking his team.
