Center assists unemployed "Job hunting for spring graduates can be offset by a planned strategy," according to Ron Jordan, Student Placement Manager. The first step is to set up sources for job leads. Private placement agencies can reliably supply openings. "However," says Jordan, "learn beforehand who pays the placement fee. If it's not the employer who pays, it could cost as much as four weeks' salary." Another source is the State Employment Development Department. It's free, and employment counselors can set up interviews with desired employers. Department chairpersons, friends and the yellow pages are all potential sources, but the College Placement Office is most accessible and specially set up to handle the student's job needs. "The main key to securing employment is maintaining constant contact with employers," says Jordan. The Placement Office offers the opportunity to do just that. It operates for all students from freshmen to alumni and maintains both part-time and full-time job opportunities. The office is located in Staff An evening of fluid and highly personal theatre will be Building 4, room ST-60 with hours presented by the Great Salt Lake Mime Troupe tomorrow at Monday through Friday, 7:30a.m. to 8 p.m. in P-33.

Tokyo Quartet will perform An evening of Mozart, Bartok and Beethoven will be presented by the Tokyo String Quartet Monday at 8 p.m. in room P-32. The ensemble will perform the "Quartet in G Major K. 387" by Mozart; Bartok's "Quartet No. 3;" and "Quartet inC Major Op. 59 No. 3" by Beethoven. The Tokyo String Quartet has been awarded use of the famous quartet of Amati instruments from the Corcoran Gallery, and are artists-in-residence at the American University in Washington, D.C. The young artists burst upon the musical scene five years ago when the Amadeus Quartet awarded them the coveted first prize in the Coleman String Quartet competition in California. Soon after, they won first prize in the prestigious Munich International Competition. A recording contract with Deutsche Grammaphon followed, and their first release won high critical acclaim and the Gran Prix du Dis-

que. According to a reviewer in the New York Times, "The performers were most immediately noteworthy for the extraordinary precision and elegance of the playing, and for the exquisitely matched beauty of tone the players drew from the quartet of Amati instruments they are now using." During their Munich tour, a
reviewer stated unequivocally, "They can neither be surpassed nor equalled by any oftoday's top-flight quartets. " Tickets for the Monday evening concert are available from the Palomar College Community Services office or at the door. Prices are $2 for general admission, $1 for students and Gold Card holders.

By Erin Thien Action over the renovation of the R-building is at a stand still until two more judicial advocates can be approved by the student legislature. Previously the legislature had approved a floor plan submitted by the American Indian Organizaton, Black Student Alliance and Chicano students, (MECHA). But at the next meeting, a petition including another floor plan and calling for an op_en election was submitted by students Ed Estes and Mary Sue Rafalko. This petition must be validated by the Associated Student Government's judicial advocates. Currently, there is only one judicial advocate, one of five positions. A quorum of three is needed to make any decisions. "There will have to be an election when the petition is validated," said G. "Sweed" Swandon, ASG president. "But we need two more judicial advocates. One judicial advocate can't take on all that responsibility." Swanson feels that the only way to have a majority rule of the students is by an open election. "There are definite strong feelings on both sides, because each feel they are totally correct in what is going on over allocated space. Because of this controversy, the only way the ASG can be protected is by a vote of all the students. This way we will maintain continuity of the will of the majority," said Swanson. The two plans, which would be up for election, are sponsored by the AIO, BSA and MECHA, which has already been approved by the legislature and one submitted by Estes and Rafalko. Maintaining the current floor space of the three organizations AIO, BSA and MECHA - the first plan allocates R-1 for the ASG offices, Student Help Center, and Share, a tutoring service; R-2 for restrooms; R-3 for all clubs and a conference room; R-4 for BSA and AIO; and R-5 for MECHA and a smaller conference room. The Student Activities Office will remain in the same location in both plans. Estes' and Rafalko ' s plan allocates R-1 for ASG offices and a conference room; R-2 for restrooms; R-3 for the Student Help Center, Share and a club desk and file room ; R-4 for a smaller conference room, the Inter-Club Council office and AIO; and R-5 for BSA, MECHA and a club workroom. "When we presented our petition and plan to the legislature, they seemed to try to knock it out on technicalities, like there was n o north and south indicated. But the (Continued on page 6)
