Financial Aids may lose some funds for next year Palomar's Financial Aids Department may suffer drastic losses in funds for the 1977-78 school year. Last fall, the Board of Health, Education and Welfare ordered a tripartite panel review of all U.S. colleges which received federal aid. Its conclusion has allocated a major cutback of funds, especially for all colleges in California. According to Palomar's financial aids director, Frank Hankin, the statewide cutback is due primarily to the misuses of federal funds in many California schools.
Musical revue on tonight A Las Vegas-style musical revue will continue in the Palomar Drama Lab tonight and tomorrow according to Billie Hutchings, director of dance at the college. Curtain time for each performance is 8 p.m. Tickets are $2 for general admission or $1.50 for students and Gold Card holders. Tickets will be sold at the door on a first-come firstserved basis at each performance. The show is a new venture for the college dance department. Miss Hutchings states, "It is very difficult to single out certain persons or numbers to emphasize in a news story, since each one is very special. We hope everyone comes to our first

A noted psychologist, she is also an author whose books have been published into 26languages. Dr. Brothers creates and performs in films and seminars designed for corporate personnel training programs. She also doles out some "instant psychology" on TV programs. For several years she has been listed among the "most admired women" of the Gallup Poll, United Press Intemational Poll and Good Housekeeping's annual poll. On Sunday at 8 p.m. in the Dome, the Port Costa Players of San Francisco will present "Stories from Wi'igita," a ceremonial opera based on an ancient legend of the Pima and Papago Indians.

Anthropologist Ron Giteck, composer Janice Giteck and weaver/ sculptor Suzanne Schwartzman have collaborated to present this opera depicting ancient Indians
'Revue' to see what I mean." She further emphasizes that there will be music to suit every taste- from old to new, country to rock, from beautiful ballads to rousing showstoppers. Hutchings, who will also sing and dance in the show, has produced, directed, written the script, selected the music, choreographed and designed the costumes for the revue. The musical director is Keith Limburg, accompanist for the dance classes at the college. Technical direction is the responsibility of Mike Frederiksen. There are 28 musical numbers in the show, representing several periods and styles.
"Many institutions," Hankin said, "apply for and receive their desired funds, but fail to use them all and are forced to send back a great portion at the end of the year." The resulting panel reductions will have little, if no, effect on these schools but will unjustly reduce the financial aids programs at schools which do spend their allotments. "For the past three years, we've received all, or almost all, of the funds we deemed necessary. And for this I am grateful. But, for the past three years, we have utilized our funds to the maximum and, because of this, I feel we merit no reductions," Hankin said. With such thoughts serving as a motive, Hankin has appealed to HEW and optimistically hopes for the best. If the board doesn't approve Hankin's appeal, Palomar will lose approximately $45,000 in contrast to this year's financial aids spendings and up to $100,000 in contrast to Hankin's original proposal for next year. Since the monetary annual growth of Palomar has been averaged at 12 percent, a $100,000 reduction could prove to be disasterous. The heaviest blow will be absorbed by Palomar's National Direct Student Loan, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants and the College Work Study Program.
