Current art lecture series explores mythology, fact Continuing its exploration into the myths and facts about the relationship between the popular media and art media to avant-garde artists and their audiences, the lecture series Art and Artists: New Directions 4 will entertain the opinions of Helen Mayer Harrison and Newton Harrison. The Harrisons will address the issue of survival with intelligence and originality in their lecture titled "On Method." The Harrisons believe that a work of art should engage you on as many levels as possible. They are the developers of a new school known as "The Ecological Arguments" and
will speak on the subject of method. Their "Arguments" have been transformed into words and images that have been exhibited prominently in Europe as well as in the United States. Their "Map Paintings" incorporate the hand drawn "texts" of their "Arguments." On March 15, June Wayne will speak on "The Creative Process: Artists, Carpenters and the Flat Earth Society." Special student rates and advance group reservations are available on a limited basis and can be made by calling the Palomar College Department at Continuing Education, extension 255.
Scandal and skullduggery are two of the principle elements in the Drama Department's upcoming production of Muriel Spark's Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. Adapted for the theater by Jay Allen, the play is based on Spark's best selling novel about a Scottish girl's school in the 1930's. The plot revolves around Brodie, an eccentric and dramatic instructor, and her inter-relationships with fellow faculty and students. Jealousy and conflict lace the story as two of Brodie's contemporaries, Louther and Lloyd vie for her attention and love. Maggie Smith won an Oscar award for best performance by an
actress in 1969 in her role as Brodie. The title role will be played by Sandy Rankin with Jim Matyunas as Lloyd and Stan McGrady in the role of Louther. Additional cast members include Robin Wooden, Theresa Armagno, Helen Hilden, Nancy Pinkerton, Alicia Pinkerton, Judy Gouveia, Van Hakes, Debbie Garcia, Lori Lewis and Dawn Sheppard. "Attendance has been very good in past years for our presentations," said director Buddy Ashbrook. "Many of the performances have sold out." Performances are scheduled for Aprill, 2, 3 and 8, 9, lOin the Drama Lab. Curtain time is 7:30 p.m.

Stop Reform Act Senate Bill One must be stopped. SB-1 is also known as the Criminal Justice Reform Act of 1975. The name is apt; passage of this repressive measure would certainly be a crime. Senate Bill One is a frontal assault on civil liberties, the very liberties we're supposed to be celebrating this year. Under the guise of crime prevention, the bill would severely limit protest demonstrations while sanctioning Watergate-type criminal activity. (No wonder ; one of the original drafters was former Attorney General John Mitchell.) Here are a few more observations about SB-1: It would make the death penalty mandatory for certain crimes. It would allow for 48 hour" emergency wiretaps" without court approval. It would mete out a 3-year sentence to anyone found guilty of distributing pictures of two or more persons engaged in a sex act. It would compel landlorqs and telephone companies to cooperate with government snooping. It would abridge freedom of the press by establishing penalties for the disclosure of information vaguely deemed in the interest of national security. It would excuse governmental misconduct if the accused believed they were duly authorized, as did many of the principals in Watergate. It would seriously weaken constitutional guarantees established in the Supreme Court's Miranda decision, encourage police entrapment and make insanity as a defense nearly impossible. The list goes on and on. The bill is an obscenity. Those disenchanted with the policies and practices of the United States over the past several years still enjoy a remarkable degree ofliberty. SB1 is an assault on this liberty. It .is frightening that SB-1 should be the object of serious consideration. But such are the times that it could achieve not just consideration, but passage. Write your congressman.

To the Editor: Since Watergate, many people consider former President Richard M. Nixon as one of the biggest crooks in history. Letters to the editor of the Los Angeles Times state that Nixon's comments on his recently concluded China visit were in bad taste and are detrimental to US foreign policy. I for one, feel that Nixon did much to bring the US out of a state of Neo-isolationsim, and contributed greatly to the US image abroad. I also freely admit that his domestic policy was a complete disaster. As a senator from California during the late 1950's, Nixon was an extreme antiCommunist, and a pro-Joseph McCarthy Republican. As President in 1972, he became the first American head of state to visit mainland China in over a century. Also in his aborted second term, Nixon began to assemble the fragile pieces of the detente puzzle, and worked for peace in the Middle East. Nixon's other chief foreign policy accomplishment was the removal of US troops from Vietnam. Admittedly he sent troops into Cambodia. ordered the mining of Haiphong Harbor, and authorized several other raids. However, I feel that if the US had pursued this course of action sooner, so many American lives might not have been wasted. Finally, please note that Nixon went to China as a private citizen, not as an official US Ambassador. Any talks that he had with China's leaders, any gifts he received, comments he made, etc. were done as a private citizen, not under the auspices of the federal govemment. I further feel that any criticism of his visit is totally unjustifiable on those grounds. David Bryant Reynolds
Newspaper staff welcomes ideas Welcome to the new Telescope. You see before you a newspaper which the Journalism 3-6 classes feel will be better and more popular on campus than any preceding one. You are holding our idea of a more easily read, more easily handled, and overall a more satisfactory paper. We welcome your thoughts, ideas, comments, and criticisms. You can make them known to us by writing them down and placing them in an editors mailbox in room R-4A, or just by relating them to any Telescope staff member. Can't suit everyone Even with our new look and the increased size of our staff, there will always be one problem we can never solve that of covering the campus well enought to suit everyone. Just how well can a staff of 15 serve over 14,800 students? Still, we do our best. We have assigned a reporter to each of the major departments on campus, and he is expected to contact his assignments, or "beats," every week or as often as possible. As it is, each person on our staff must cover at least two, sometimes three or even four or more beats, besides looking out for additional news stories. Most people cooperate Most sources on campus are more than happy to talk with their reporter and cooperate fully. Some cooperate as much as possible. A few are uncooperative. In particular, one department head who once did not receive the full page of coverage he expected now refuses to see a Telescope
reporter. This type of behavior limits the future publicity his department will receive, and thus creates an imbalance in campus coverage. There will always be the inevitable factor of time to limit our attempts to fully cover the campus. Our staff must gather information, assign stories, cover beats, write stories, edit stories, lay out pages, varitype stories, paste up pages, assign photos, and make sure everything is ready for the printer each week. If this isn't hard enough, each semester new members must be trained while paper production is going on (this semester, for example, only three staff members have had previous Telescope experience). Partly a learning situation This operation is nothing short of miraculous when you compare it to others. Could the baseball team begin a season of weekly games with no practice? Could the speech team enter competitions and leam as they go along? Possibly, but they wouldn't suit everyone. The Telescope is still partly a leaming situation for the staff members, in that many are learning new methods. For some, it is the first time on a newspaper. Our harried schedule is common to all newspapers, though, and we must leam to work under it. With a little effort and cooperation, we can effectively serve the campus. So, when you pick up a Telescope, and you notice your club or department hasn't been mentioned¡ enough or at all, let us know about it and keep in mind we're doing our best.

Critic compliments 'Cuckoo's Nest' movie By Susan Grandia ~ Once viewed, it's not at all difficult to understand why Milos Forman's screen version of One Flew Over the Cuckoo 's Nest , received nine nominations for Academy Awards. Adapted by Lawrence Hauben and Bo Goldman, the movie of Ken Kesey's brilliant novel remains basically true to its source. The quality of the film, somewhat limited by the script, comes through in the outstanding performances by Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher. Nicholson's portrayal of R.P. McMurphy , the hell -raising character in Kesey's novel, is not only believable, but creates a feeling that Nicholson was hom to play the role. Conning his way out of a prison work farm , McMurphy finds the ward anything but the joyride he anticipated. He is immediately confronted by the "Big Nurse" and her machine of authority. Fletcher plays the "porcelain white" head nurse, McMurphy's rival. Her acting is superb, especially in scenes where without a single

word she shows her obvious fury with McMurphy. However, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a comedy that fails to ever reach the depth of Kesey's novel. The novel deals with both the obvious and underlying conflicts of the many one-against-the-system themes. The film only captures the most obvious one: McMurphy's. In the novel Kesey uses the big Indian, ChiefBromden, as narrator. The complexity of his problem is never touched in the film. In fact, one never really understands why the Chief is in the asylum. While it may be true that the film isn't as moving as the novel, it is en tertainly funny and well acted. The film has been nominated by the Academy for best actor, best actress and best picture. Considering its contendors, it looks in good standing.

In the days of the Old West, the saying went "Have gun, will travel," but to Palomar College instructor Kenneth Berry the saying reads "Have time, will travel." During the last semester break, Berry used to the time to satisfy his curiosity by traveling to New Zealand and Australia. "Traveling is my hobby, so I try to use every opportunity to go somewhere." said Berry. " This time I decided on New Zealand and Australia because I was curious about that part of the world." Having been involved in automotives for 30 years, Berry noticed many peculiarities in cars and driving conditions on his trip. "Driving is done of the left side of the road and all cars are designed for that. Therefore, all the controls in the car are reversed," stated Berry. Also, leaming some of the driving regulations the hard way, Berry noticed that a right tum after stopping at a red light is illegal. In some areas diagonal parking and backing up could not be done. " In New Zealand, the bridges over rivers are built so narrow that only one car can travel on it at a time. So before you start over, you have to check across to see if there is a car coming over. If you meet a car in the middle, one car has to back up the entire way to let the other car through and then try to start over the bridge again," said Berry. Sheep crossing the road pose problems in some areas of New Zealand. according to Berry. Sometimes, cars must stop or slow down to one mile per hour to allow the sheep to cross the road. On his trip Berry visited an
antique auto museum , where cars were restored only to the original parts. "I thought Californians were fussy about their cars, but in this museum, visitors were not allowed to touch the cars. Everything is strictly the original parts - no adding of new brakes or anything," stated Berry. After two weeks in New Zealand, Berry, his wife and two of their friends flew to Sidney, Australia to stay for a week. "Driving in Australia was ghastly. The traffic volume has increased so much in so little time that they are having pr'o blems we had 20 years ago," commented Berry. "Traffic jams are common on the regularsized roads because Australia doesn't have a freeway system." Berry admitted he was surprised by all the traffic in Sidney and compared the traffic and parking conditions to those in Los Angeles. However, outside the city, there was no traffic. Berry has been teaching automotives at Palomiir frli" two and a half years. Bom iii En gland and having lived in Canada, he came to the United States after WWII, but the urge to travel is planted deep inside. So with a little time and a little money, he is off again to visit other lands.

BASEBALL
Comets down OCC, 8-6 By Greg Hanlon The Comet baseball team snapped their three-game losing streak with an 8-6 come-from-behind victory over Orange Coast last Friday. In their best offensive showing of the season, Palomar stroked 11 hits with four gQing for extra bases. Trailing路 6-5 entering the eighth, the Comets scored two runs taking the lead for good as they picked up . their third victory of the season. In the eighth, after leadoff walks to Steve Humason and Bob Piva, second baseman Curt Courian singled in Humason with the tying run. Dick Christman then forced Courian, leaving men at the corners with one out. Randy Johnson followed with an infield hit loading the bases for Doug McPhail. McPhail attempted to squeeze bunt home the winning run, but failed as he路forced Christman at the plate.
Women's tennis defending crown Defending community college champions in San Diego county, the women's tennis team is looking forward to having a successful season, according coach Nan Haugen. "Last year's team was good, but I believe we have more depth and a stronger team this year," stated Haugen. Leading the squad are Leslie Edmonds, Melana Peer, and Jan Johnson. "These girls are always contenders for the number one position," Haugen commented. "Last year Peer won the San Diego singles championship." Besides hoping to recapture the county championship, the team is also looking forward to the Ojai Invitational Intercollegiate Tournament during April, in which the top three players will be able to participate.
With the bases loaded and two outs, Jesse Moore worked a walk, forcing home Piva with the winning run. Palomar scored an insurance run in the ninth as winning pitcher Randy Long doubled and Tom Sturdivant singled him home. Comet coach Jim Clayton had no explanations on why his team has emerged from a hitting slump which had plagued them all season. "There's no reason, we just did it," Clayton said. "We're just a much better hitting team than we had been showing." Palomar's next opponent will be fifth ranked Citrus as the Comets travel north for a 2:30 game Thursday. "Citrus is a good team," Clayton pointed out. "They've got good hitting and pitching. "They finished second in the state last year and have everyone back except three," Clayton continued. Clayton plans to throw Paco Gonzalez against the strong Owls. Gonzalez, a sophomore from Orange Glen High, has been impressive as of late, striking out 20 in his last two starts.
Kickers beaten by Grossmont Grossmont handed Palomar's soccer team its first defeat last week when the Griffins beat the Comets 4'1.
Coach Chris Pagakis of the Comets attributed the loss in part to the undersized field at Grossmont and predicted that his team would beat the Griffins when they come to Palomar in April. Pagakis was also upset with the referees who took away a Palomar goal on an offsides charge during the second half. The charge was false according to the coach. Earlier wins over San Diego City and Mesa give the Comets a 2-1 seasonal record.
Dennis Zabinsky's first place lead the Comet wrestling team to a fourth place finish in the Southern California Regional held at Santa Ana College last Friday. Zabinsky was one of seven Comet grapplers to qualify for the State Meet at West Valley College today and tomorrow. Palomar's other qualifiers were Jim Hamada (118), Bob Northridge (142), Don Barrios (150), Mike Burgher (158), Glen Thoreson (177), and Jon Dineen (Hwt.). The Comets will also send Tad Overmire (126) and Brian Canada (134) as alternates. Palomar's fourth is deceptive because only six points separated fourth and second. The Comet's 62 points finished behind El Camino's 84, Cerritos' 67, and Grossmont's 64. Comet coach Don Woods singled out Jim Hamada and Glen Thoreson as his team's top performers in the meet. "Jimmy finished third," Woods pointed out, "but in his weight class there were four 路 of the top eight wrestlers in the state, which makes it an accomplishment just to qualify." Woods feels his team has a shot at the state crown if they wrestler up to their potential. "El Camino and Chabot are the favorites," Woods said, "with Palomar, Grossmont, Cypress, and Modesto all capable of doing it; but that remains to be seen." Woods feels his team's fourth place finish has no bearing on how they will do in the State Meet. "We accomplished our goal," Woods said. "We wanted to qualify seven and we did it. The State Meet is the big test, the regional didn't mean as much." Zabinsky has a shot at the state crown according to his coach. "Dennis wrestled real steady," Woods said. "It's the best he's done in a while. He's coming around at the right time.
Cagers defense tops conference Topping the Comet basketball team's list of outstanding achievements during the 1975-76 season was their defensive performance. Palomar led the conference in fewest points scored by their opponents. Guard Tyrone D~vis and forward Dave Moore will represent Palomar in the Mission Conference All-Star game tomorrow night at Riverside. Tipoff is at 7:30 p.m. Starting the season with an allfreshman team, Palomar compiled a 17-13 record, and finished the season in third place in conference. This was the second consecutive winning year for the Comets. Davis led the team in scoring with a 17.2 points per game average, while connecting on 204 of 414 field goals (49%) during the season. Moore was the top field-goal percentage shooter, hitting 52% (153 in 295 attempts).
