Drama lab features 'Wait Until Dark'

Ann Lynn Miller

Talented musician to perform tonight Concert pianist Ann Lynn Miller, who recently returned from a European tour, will perform in room C-5 tonight. The concert will begin at 8 p.m.

Miller will play Fantasy in D Minor, K 397 by Mozart; Fantasien, Op. 116 by Brahms; Beethoven's Sonata in F-sharp Major, Op. 78; and Sonata in F Minor, Op. 57 (Appasionata) also by Beethoven.

The gifted young woman made her first public appearance with the Dutchess County Philharmonic at Poughkeepsie, New York, at the age of 12. Since then she has appeared in recitals and with orchestras throughout the eastern United States and in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and England.

Karl Ewald in The Darmstadt (Germany) Tag said, "Ann Lynn Miller commands a remarkable technique. She masters the great span of leaping octaves with the same perfection as the brilliantly executed arpeggios. Her touch can be both - of vital strength of fluid softness. Difficulties in the handling of themes do not exist for her, neither in her right nor in her left hand."

- Miller is a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College, where she is currently on the music faculty. She did graduate study in chamber music with Walter Trampler, and in

theory with Vincent Persichetti at the Juilliard School of Music.

She is a founding member of the Gotham Trio, which plays concerts throughout New York under the sponsorship of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.

Tickets for the Miller concert are available from the Palomar Department of Community Services, at $2 general admission or $1 for students and Gold Card holders.

"Wait Until Dark" the suspense thriller by Frederick Knott, opened in the Palomar drama lab (P-33) last night with additional performances tonight and tomorrow. The show completes its run next Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Curtain time is 7:30p.m.

Set in a basement apartment in Greenwich Village, the play is about a blind woman terrorized by three men who are after a doll filled with drugs. The woman's husband innocently brought the doll across the border from Canada as a favor to a woman he encountered at the airport.

"Wait Until Dark" first opened on Broadway in 1966 with Lee Remick as the blind girl and Robert Duvall as the chief terrorist. A subsequent movie version starred Audrey Hepburn, Alan Arkin, Richard Crenna and Efrem Zimbalisi;, Jr. Nancy Titus plays the blind girl, Susy Hendrix, in the Palomar production. She has many area theatrical appearances to her credit, including the role of Jill Tanner in the recent successful "Butterflies Are Free" production at the Patio Playhouse. She also received an Atlas Award at the Old Globe Theater in San Diego for her portrayal of Dolly Glandon in "You Never Can Tell."

Jonathan D. Chase appears as Mike Talman, the "nice" bad guy of the play. A full-time student at Palomar, Chase served as a director and author for the college's Night of One Acts last year and played Fulk in the school's production of"A Cry of Players." His varied theater experience includes working as an actor, director, author, choreographer and technical person.

Dave Rethoret lists his profession as chemist, but his appearances in 49 plays, with over 650 perfor-

Decline affects budget Strict guidelines will be considered when approving the 1977-78 budget requests by the district budget committee, due to an overestimated income for 1976-77.

"The experiences to this date for 1976-77 indicate that the current year budget was planned to accommodate growth in attendence which has, and will not, materialize," said Dr. John Schettler, assistant superintendent in charge of business.

He went on to explain, "The estimated growth in 1976-77 was 10 percent over 1975-76; this actually is a decrease of 3. 75 percent. Current calculations show that we shall end

this year with an unrestricted balance of $318,813, where $1,100,000 is necessary for continuous operation into 1977-78."

After suggestions by Dr. Schettler, the budget committee made the following guidelines.

1) That all supply accounts be studied in relation to 1975-76level of expenditures, with some accommodation for increased unit costs.

2)All requests for new equipment in unrestricted accounts be denied unless it can be shown that an instructional program will be severely harmed or that reasonable safety considerations will be (Continued on page 3)

mances, give him excellent background for the role of Harry Roat, Jr., the play's villain. Rethoret has appeared in many productions with the Patio Playhouse in Escondido and CAAST jn Poway. Two years in a row he won the "Best Director" award at the Patio Playhouse and won the "Best Actor in a Minor Role" for three years. Rethoret has appeared at the Old Globe as well, in "You Never Can Tell" in 1975 and "Hadrian VII" in 1973.

Roy Anthony Lopez is a newcomer to the Palomar theater program, although he has appeared in and worked technically with productions at the North County Community Theater. Lopez plays Sergeant Carlino, the final member of the trio of terrorists.

Sam Hendrix, Susy's husband, is played by David Mousseau. He served as stage manager for the college production of"Cabaret" and played San dells in "A Cry of Players." Most recently, he took four different character parts in the hit, "Jack the Ripper."

Denna Jennings is the youngest member of the cast. A fourth grade student at Juniper School, she plays Gloria, the little girl who lives above the Hendrix apartment and helps Susy with her shopping. "Wait Until Dark" is Deanna's first play, but she has performing experience in her studies of dance and gymnastics The cast is completed by Rod Light and Todd Capen who portray the two policemen. Light's background is in technical work, as stage manager for "Jack the Ripper" and in backstage work at the Patio Playhouse. Capen most recently played Lord Percy in" Anne of the Thousand Days" at Palomar and is currently involved in the school's dance and voice programs.

Buddy Ashbrook directs the play.

David Boyd is technical director, assisted by Michael Frederiksen, set and lighting designer.

Tickets may be reserved by calling Palomar at 744-1150 or 727-7529.

Tickets are $1.50 for students and Gold Card holders and $2.50 for the general public.

Trials and tribulations of the unhappy hike~

'Silent majority' urged to get out and vote Editor: When I say the "silent majority" I mean you and me. Apparently "you and I" are 97 percent ofthe students at Palomar. An excellent example of "our" collective record of silence can be seen in the last school election.

Out of 15,000 students attending this campus only 450 found it important to vote. An amazing record!

This leads me to the question: Why am I writing this letter if there are only 450 concerned students? The reason is there is a terrible ir<justice bei11g done to us. What is the terrible injustice? Whom are the perpetrators? How do we solve the problem?

The problem is in regard to the accepted plan on the renovation of the "R" building. The administration gave to the students on campus the "R" building. They left it up to us to decide how the building should be divided. A plan was accepted by the Student Legislature last February 16. Some words of Will Rogers are applicable: "Never blame a legislative branch for not doing something. When they do nothing, that don't hurt anybody. When they do something is when they become dangerous." The plan they accepted in regard to the "R" building represents a small faction of the student body.

The accepted plan, in fact, represents three clubs: the American Indian Organization, the Black Student Alliance, and the Student Chicano Movement of Atzlan. In the already accepted plan 43 percent of the building will go to these three clubs. It is important to be aware of the fact that the AIO has a total of 15 active members on campus. The BSA has 25 members and the SCMA has 37 members. Thus, three clubs want for 77 people almost half a building.

What about the other clubs on

campus? Well, they will divide 32 percent of the building between 20 actively known clubs. Good luck!

One of those clubs, the Honor Society, has a membership of 200.

You may by now be curious as to just how much space is left for the rest of the students on campus. Our Student Help Center, our Student Government, and SHARE (a tutoring service) will divide the remaining 28percentofthe building. Please keep in mind that "our" Student Governr.1ent and "our" Student Help Center are for all students on campus.

Now I ask you, what do you get out of this? Where are our interests and needs taken into consideration? I guess because we are believed to be the "silent majority" we do not have needs. A member of the Student Legislature, Terry Bowman, said in the Telescope, "The 'R' building complex will be to the advantage of the growing needs of our student body population." And I ask her this one question: Are the needs of three clubs greater than the needs of all the students? By the facts presented here, all students are not represented in the plan accepted by the Student Legislature. It is up to us, the "silent majority", to make ourselves heard. We can take it upon ourselves to get out and vote when it comes time for an election between this plan or the plan submitted by Estes- Rafalko.

I am in agreement with the EstesRafalko plan because it offers equal space for all. The Student Government, the Student Help Center, SHARE, and all other campus clubs, as well as the student body, are a part of that plan.

Friends of the "silent majority," let our strength be heard on election day! Voice your opinion: get out and vote.

By Beth Foehl Being one of those game, diversified people who wants to try everything at least once (except for maybe categorizing moose manure in Saskatchewan), last year I decided I would take up backpacking.

After all, it's inexpensive and it adds a whole new dimension to travel, right? Well sorta . ..

The inexpensive part is true after you buy your tent, packs, boots, sleeping bags, stove and llama to carry you carrying the equipment.

And backpacking definitely does add a new dimension to travel: It's known as acute fear. Why? Behold the following saga: There we were early in the day, our fearless five, merrily tromping up Mount Whitney in the gentle sun, humming "The Happy Wanderer" and scoffing at the warnings that friends had given us about trying to climb the highest mountain in the United States in September. After all, we were already at 8,000 feet and there was nothing but sun, I remember gloating dumbly as the clouds rolled down from the summit.

Two hours later, there we were, our frosty five, crawling up to 10,000 feet in a snowy gale, humming "Dirge in E Flat Minor" and shrieking: "We're gonna die, we're gonna die," at the top of our respective lungs (or shall I say two respective lungs who shall remain nameless).

"How much longer do we have to go," I said namelessly.

"According to this map, there's a camp a mile up the trail," said the only member of our group who still didn't have price tags dangling from his pack.

"According to this map," I said, squinting through the snow, "about a mile up the trail is the leaning tower of Pisa."

"Did I ever tell you guys about the time I backpacked through Europe," he said sheepishly stuffing the map in a snowbank.

"Tell us tonight. It'll give you something to do while you're waiting for the tar and feathers to dry."

"Camp! There's camp!" he shouted pointing over a hill.

"Camp! " I echoed, scrambling toward him and my memories of hotdogs, toasting marshmallows and happy little Girl Scouts taking snapshots for Mom and Dad of their happy little counselor rolling around in the bushes with the athletic director ...

I was soon to discover that his idea of camp and mine did not exactly match, because what was on the other side of that hill looked like one of those National Geographic specials where Sir Edmund Hillary is always trying to wake up his feet. I was not impressed.

(Continued on page 3)

United America sought Editor: The melting pot of America's independent and liberal expression of ideas is beginning to boil at the sight of the atrocities suffered by the Ugandan tribes. Morality and the integrity that are implied with leadership have grossly been denied most African nations. The reign of terror perpetrating Idi Amin's seizure of power can only be termed brutal and ruthless. At times I have to consciously hold back the tears from my eyes as I feel the pity and ignorant shame of the demoralized African people.

As a world citizen I apologize for my misunderstanding of the issues in my recent letter to the editor, and

~

I

now retrace my words: I am a moral American who respects and cherishes the ideals of the American Constitution; life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We are not heathens and must prove our innocence by ridding American society of her evils in politics by first giving the American citizen something to believe in. Words are meaningless until our America is backed by a united nation. We are still plagued by crime, violence, selfpity, poverty, and the unequal fairness treated all people. Let's become a rationale United States, and heal our own wounds here in America.

Budget committee advises strict guides on spending (Continued from page 1) violated. Special consideration will be given to specific problems arising from new construction and from funded projects.

3) No expenditures for lecturer, speakers or consultants be made from nonrestricted funds beyond the 1975-76level and when possible that these expenses be funded from other restricted accounts or community services.

4) That no new programs will be funded or allowed further development in 1977-78 without a critical analysis with respect to first year cost and future costs.

5) That all travel expenses be critically examined with the objective of reducing accounts where possible to the 1975-76level of expenditure.

6) No new classified or certificated positions be established unless it can be shown that the instructional program will be seriously harmed.

7) Reexamination of teaching staff assignments in non-teaching duties. This may restore to the classroom a sizeable full-time equivalency of teaching staff.

8) Efforts be made to establish areas where growth is lacking to determine if personnel can be shifted to areas which need additional staff.

9) Replacement of equipment be justified item by item.

Patrons of Palomar Virginia Sherman, Melva Belzer, and 10) No new furniture for Lili Johnston remind staff and community that donations classrooms or offices be purchased if are requested for the annual Pink Elephant Sale May 6 and 7, present furniture is available and and may be delivered to the college library or mailroom. usable.

Hikers assaulted by mountain (Continued from page 2) "We don't even get to die on the summit!" I wailed, full of calm composure.

"You're going to be all right," said our leader soothingly. "This irrational fear you're experiencing is one of the mild symptoms of mountain sickness."

"And I always thought mountain sickness was a strange compulsion to yodel."

"Look. Put up your tent, crawl inside your bag and you'll feel better."

So I took off my pack, unrolled my tent, and in the 95 m.p.h. wind, proceeded to play Beth the bird, flapping daintily from drift to drift until some guy in mukluks

wandered over to help.

"It's like being mugged by an amoeba," I panted. "You'll never get it up."

"You just gotta know which cords to tie down first," he said two minutes later with the tent completely set up. "Now heat up some food and try to sleep."

So I thanked him profusely, crawled inside and started to heat my trusty little stove, my trusty little finger and my trusty little tent which now has a picture window.

My freeze-dried guacamole dip being consumed, I snuggled down in my bag and fmding the top of the tent sagging against my nose, deduced one of two things: Either a cord had pulled loose or the

FBI will interview students Special Agent Alfred G. Gunn of the FBI will be on campus April13, to interview students and graduates for full-time clerical jobs. The Bureau is presently hiring clerks, typists and stenographers for positions in Washington, D.C. Applicants must be at least 16 years old, a U.S. citizen and able to pass a spelling examination and a rigid background character in-

vestigation. Typist positions require a speed of 40 w.p.m. and stenographers must be able to take shorthand at 80 w.p.m. The starting pay for these positions ranges from $548-693 per month.

Students desiring interviews with the FBI must make an appointment in the Placement Office, no later than five school days prior to the scheduled visitation.

Abominable Snowman was sitting on my tent eating a ham sandwich.

But was I worried? Not at all. I simply stood my extra pair of frozen jeans in the corner to prop up the tent, zipped up my bag to my ears and calmly waited to die.

And did I? Only when I looked at the candid photos taken of me in my Bullwinkle long johns the next morning.

And will I ever attempt to go backpacking again? Only after Saskatchewan runs out of moose manure.

11) Complete justification of requests to advance some staff members from a partial employment to a higher or full-time employment status.

12) Individual committee members, as well as other staff members, be encouraged to submit suggestions which will enable the committee to balance the General Fund budget and operate an efficient educational program in 197778 within safe financial policies.

13) Reexamine the teaching staff assignments in relation to low enrollment sizes and possible reassignments.

Items which were rejected by the budget committee were to deny sabbatical requests and to reduce professional growth funds for certificated staff.

"The college operated a successful program in 1975-76, with known staff assignments. In 1977-78, if the attendance does not significantly exceed 1975-76, the college should be able to operate quite efficiently with the same number of staff equivalenices and with minor adjustments to take into account the growth or decline in specific areas," stated Dr. Schettler.

Steve Chappell I am a n architect major, and I am running for the office of President of the ASG. I feel that the ASG is a very important organization to the students of Palomar College. I CARE about the student, and the campus.

I have been on the executive cabin et, serving as chairperson for m ost of this last year. I have seen politics in action here on campus and I h ave been a part of it.

I have tried this past year to better the ASG card benefits by packaging and increasing th em , resulting in m ore cards being sold then in the past. I also helped with the planning of the 1976 Homecoming a ctivities a nd plann ed thecurrentDisneyh~nd trip. I worked har d at researchmg for bylaws to our constitution in the h opes to make it rea d more clearly.

T his program still have a ways to go and if elected I will continue to work on this project. Then we shouldn't h ave the problems that we have had in the past.

I believe we need better communications between students, faculty and st a ff to give a better view of what the ASG does on campus, also t o let YOU, the school, k now what is h a ppening. I worked on this problem while on the cabinet and will continue to do so if elected.

Even tho u gh this is an educational institution, I feel we need more extra curricular a ctivities to help get the students more involved with the school.

T resigned from my position as ch airperson of the executive cabinet with full backing and agreement from th e P resident of At;U because I was strongly opposed to issues which were before the legislature and the han dling of those issues. I felt that I could serve the students of P alom ar College better from outside ASG at that time.

Now I ask your support AND your vote, to elect me YOUR next President of the ASG. Kasimu Tha bit i If elected I will try to expand the student services available to n ight students and day students. I especially wan t to be an effective liason between the students and the a dministration , because I want to keep the lines of communication open between students and faculty.

To promote maximum studen~ input to th e issues which effect theu well being, I plan to keep the students well informed. I plan to promote activities that will enhance the intellectual and social growth of students.

While serving as an elected member of the student legislature, I became aware of many issues which r equired th e students' viewpoint. If elected I would encourage the involve~ent of active and sensitive people in student government.

* . . . . . . ., president, having been on ~he cabinet as a member, and knowmg what is going on around campus. I feel I know what I am doing and I feel I can do the job as vice president if elected.

The first ·thing I want to work for as vice president is communications. I feel that students don't know what's going on and I feel that students have the right to know. After all, they are students of Palomar College. All I want is for the students to be informed on what's going on o.n campus.

The other goal is student voice. I feel that students should express their feelings on what they want to see at Palomar College. I want to push that, because I need to know what students want at this school. I can't read everyone's mind on what they want. The only way to express this is coming to me in the ASG office. If I am elected I will work up to my goals as vice president.

My major is computer science and I hope to become a computer operator.

Andrew Wynne I have lived in the north county for about 13 years and presently live in Vista. I attended Vista High School and have been active in many organizations both on and off the campus.

I have my own theory of government and its operation. The most important is that it is supposed to have the best interest of all or most of the students in mind when it makes decisions that affect a large number of the student body. The most recent mistake made by the present government was the Rbuilding and its distribution of space among the different clubs and organizations that have to operate out of that building. I, and many others, took part in action to have that ruling repealed and have the students take an active part in the decision. The present ruling says that three clubs have control of 50 percent of that building, when there are some 27 other clubs that have to meet and operate out of office space.

Now that would seem like rather poor judgement to me.

I stand behind student opinion and am not afraid to present different ideas at meetings. I always stand on my own two feet and do my best to listen to what other people have to say. I work hard to hold up my ideals of government and hope that I will have the chance to hear your ideas and present them at meetings for you or with you. I believe that a strong government ma kes an even better student body, but without a strong student body there can be no democratic government.

Kerin Essex

Student apathy and lack of interest are the main problems facing the current ASG. I feel the reason for

this is that the students don't know what is going on or who to contact.

At least, that was the way it was for me. During the past year, I have become more interested in student government and aware of the importance it has to the students.

I feel I am qualified to hold this office since I have taken bookkeeping and handled money for other civic organizations. Even the position of treasurer has an important and vital role in student government and I believe I can best serve the students in this capacity.

Anthony Barlow I was born in Bishop, Calif. where I went to school and graduated.

Then I got a scholarship for athletics from the Bishop Indian Athletics Association.

Upon hearing about Palomar by a friend, we both started to go to school here.

I've played for the football team in 1975 and 1976, finishing my two years of junior college football.

I ran for the student legislature last spring but wasn't elected. Then I heard ofthe opening in January of this year and was nominated. I am presently on the legislature and on two of the committees.

One of them is the publicity committee which is now in the process of getting information to the students about the election and publicity on the Disneyland trip for ASG card holders on April 17.

I'm presently on an ad hoc committee getting information on the Master Planning on the land around the campus.

I'm also an active member of the American Indian Organization and planning an Indian Amatuer arts and crafts exhibit for May. This is also recruitment for new Indian students from local high school to Palomar for higher education.

AIO also has two delegates to the Inter-Tribal area five which is statewide in getting voice to the state level for Indian people from reservations and organizations. I'll be going to this convention in April in Sacramento.

I'm presently carrying 19 units and finishing my general education.

Maria Terry Bowman I have truly enjoyed being a member of the student legislature for the last two semesters. Not only have I learned much more about our student government, administration, and faculty; but also how student in-put can be properly channeled for action .

An informed constituency means informed , effective action .

Therefore, my first project would be to help the Telescope institute printing the minutes of the weekly meetings of the student legislature.

I have made every effort to be representative of all students' con-

**** cerns. My voice has been your voice.

I affirm that I will continue to serve you in the legislature.

Jim Cason I have been active in student government for the past six months, first as a judicial advocate, then as a legislator. The experience I have gained during the past year, has given me a better understanding of the frustrations and the problems that arise in holding such a position.

I try to be fair and look objectively at both sides of an issue before deciding which course of action is best.

My goal as a student legislator will be: to promote school spirit and interest in student goverment; representation for all students, not a select few; decisions that will be in the best interest for the whole student body; better communication between the legislature and the student body and a better rapport with the executive and legislative branches in decision making.

The legislature during the past administration has granted special favors to various groups. I do not believe in this. The legislature is bound by moral obligations to make decisions that will benefit the majority of students.

If you want a legislator who will listen to all student desires instead of the desires of a particular group and if you want a legislator who is not influenced to vote a special way when pressure is exerted to try to force him to, then a vote for me is a vote for full representation.

John Couture Approximately a year and a half ago I was appointed to the Student Legislature. Since then the legislature has allocated close to $60 000 in public funds as fairly and justly as I feel we possibly could have. Sure we've made mistakes but we' e learning from them.

Almost immediately after elections the legislature will have to allocate next year's $45,000 budget.

Based on my years of experience as

of the total floor space of this building to three clubs on campus, leaving a mere 20 percent to service our Student Help Center and our student govemment. It was then, that I was made aware that the present student legislature represents only a small portion of the total student body.

*** chairman I feel that I can best evaluate the needs of Palomar College students.

When voting for next year's of¡ ficers keep in mind involvement.

My attendance record and involvement are the best. Bear in mind responsibility and-interests; I know the people on campus but more importantly I'm respected. I've worked hard for that by maintaining my interests for all students.

Your vote will be apprecitated by the hundreds of students who didn't vote because it insured a steady and experienced legislature for next year.

Ed Estes Our student legislature has become a mockery of true representation. I have seen some legislators deliberately try to stop a petition that would let the students decide on the future of the R-building.

Certain members of the student legislature obviously do not want the students involved or to know what is going on at Palomar. As a result of the R-building issue, a conflict of interest has developed between members of the student legislature and the Black Student Alliance American Indian Organization and the Chicano students, MECHA. I have asked to debate the issues with Kasimu Thabiti, yet he declines. What is he trying to hide? I would enjoy debating Terry Bowman and anyone else on the legislature who would like to. This is the best way to let the students decide on the best choice.

Because of the inaction of our legislature, I have decided to run. I have tried to change the student legislature. Each time they have ignored me. Once, it almost ended ASG. If I am elected I will fight for the whole student body, not just for three special interest clubs as the present legislature does seem to do.

Since I have been going to school here, I have completed twelve units and received an "A" in each course. I have completed Busines I and II (accounting) and one. semeste_r of Spanish. I hope to firush Sparush II Introduction to Photo-Offset Lithography, and an independent study course involving work on the campus newsmagazine, the Grapevine, by the end of the current semester. I am a mem~er of the Coalition for Liberation and Unity, which has presented a fine program of speakers and movies on subjects ranging from Vietnam to apartheid in South Africa. Also the C.L. U. has participated in past ASG campaigns, and helped get excell~nt people elected. I served as VIcepresident of the Associated Student Body of San Dieguito High Schol in Encinitas during the 1970 school year. On this campus, I served as treasurer of the Inter-Club Council for the last semester and have just been elected secretary for this semester.

I want to find issues and programs to put forth in the legislature that will involve as much of the student body as possible to unite the campus behind projects that will be of benefit to us not only here on the campus but also for the whole society in which we live. Such things as supporting the youth employment bill and protesting the Bakke decision against affirmative action can be unifying and beneficial for us all. Also I would like to see the role of the I.C.C. greatly expanded, to give the clubs aid and support and a solid voice in the affairs of the campus. In short I want to break down the barri~rs that separate â&#x20AC;˘ different groups on the campus and unite all the students behind an effort to make Palomar a better place in which to study and work.

Rosie Gonzales As a candidate for the student legislature, I would appreciate your vote. I am a concemed student who is sensitive to the needs of Palomar College students. I have been actively involved in community and school activities for several years. I am ready to stand and voice your concems. I affirm that if you will express your confidence in me, I will, through the ranks of our constituency, truly represent you.

Amiel Jaramillo As a candidate for the student legislature, I make but one committment. I will do my best to the upmost of my abilities to represent you, the students of Palomar College, in your best interest.

My past experience includes be~g active in student govemment m high school, both on the state and local level. As a Palomar student, I am currently serving as the president of CCCEOPSA student Christopher Frye association. This association I am currently engaged in my represents students from 104 third semester at Palomar College. Califomia community colleges. I

have been involved with the student aid commission, as well as other Califomia state agencies, dealing mainly with student aid.

I feel that I have the experience which will enable me to represent Palomar students as they deserve to be served.

Julie Lawson I feel that it is time for a change in the student legislature. As I have been a student here at Palomar for a year, I have felt that the stud~nt legislature has not been responsive to us. I feel that there is a definite lack of communication between the students and the legislature. If elected, I will change this.

Mark Mowrey I have listened to cries of student apathy every time I tum around.

Finally I decided to see what happens in our ASG to promote it. I have heard rumors of unfair representation and bias. Whether or not it really exists or if so what can be done about it are questions which must be answered. I'm not going to make any "campaign" promises.

Admittedly I'm not without my own prejudices or bias, but I think I can decide and act if need be in a manner which best promotes the needs and wants of the students of Palomar College.

Lisa Osborne Communication has always been and will continue to be a major goal of the ASG. Through effective communicaiton, we can accomplish representation for more of the students ofPalomar. In the past, the interaction between school administration, student govemment and students has been insufficient.

This is why I am campaigning for student legislature, to improve this situation by talking to a. wide variety of students and finding out what they want, perhaps with surveys. In this way, I feel that a larger percentage will be representated and Palomar College will truly be a college for all the students.

Evelyn Payne I have decided to become a candidate for the student legislature because I would like to find out what goes on "inside" student govemment. My main goal will be to help promote any justified and feasible needs of the other students on campus. Please vote for me on election day.

Mary Sue Rafalko I became concemed about the proposed allocation of space of the new R-building, upon attending a meeting of the student legislature on February 16th. At this meeting a plan was approved to give 43 percent

I am running for the office of student legislator so that I can represent ALL the student needs on campus. I am aware of the students in the Fine Arts and Music departments that have tremendous talents that should be recognized by all the students. This could be accomplished by having art showings and concerts on campus .

Our athletes have never been given the recognition that they have so greatly eamed and I would like to encourage more student involvement in the athletic programs. The commuter student, both day and night, has often times been ignored as to their needs on campus. I will listen to ALL the students and WORK toward a collective, unified student body and govemment.

The student legislature's function should be to represent the total student body, not the special needs of a select few. If I am elected YOU will be heard!

Rick Ricard I am an Anthropology Major here at Palomar. I have been very active in campus activities and clubs. I was a member of the steering committee for the plenary last fall, and presently hold the following offices: president of the IntR.r-Club Council, president of the Young Democrats Club, board member of the Anthropology Club, and vicepresident of the Undefeated Club. I work on campus as a van driver for Handicapped Services and as a tuto.,. for EOPS and Shelter.

I have only one special interest to serve, and that is for all the students on Palomar campus. I feel that my experience with clubs and activities will be beneficial in making decisions affecting all students.

John Theobald I seek to become a student legislator because of the four major issues that have been brought about.

The subjective distribution of the budget and allocation of the Rbuilding have an effect on every student. The poor handling of these issues makes it necessary to have someone with a better understan:ling of them.

The third issue of inadequate representation stems from control of the student govemment by a selfconcemed, small group who have hampered the purpose of ASG. My total opposition to control by a small group makes me, and those sharing my views, badly needed additions.

The first three problems arise from the fourth, poor communication efforts by the present controlling group. It is necessary to have an open legislature, balanced by objective people. These needs, and the belief that I can help fulfill them, lead me to ask for your vote.

Budget committee advises strict guides on spending (Continued from page 1) violated. Special consideration will be given to specific problems arising from new construction and from funded projects.

3) No expenditures for lecturer, speakers or consultants be made from nonrestricted funds beyond the 1975-76level and when possible that these expenses be funded from other restricted accounts or community services.

4) That no new programs will be funded or allowed further development in 1977-78 without a critical analysis with respect to first year cost and future costs.

5) That all travel expenses be critically examined with the objective of reducing accounts where possible to the 1975-76level of expenditure.

6) No new classified or certificated positions be established unless it can be shown that the instructional program will be seriously harmed.

7) Reexamination of teaching staff assignments in non-teaching duties. This may restore to the classroom a sizeable full-time equivalency of teaching staff.

8) Efforts be made to establish areas where growth is lacking to determine if personnel can be shifted to areas which need additional staff.

9) Replacement of equipment be justified item by item.

Patrons of Palomar Virginia Sherman, Melva Belzer, and 10) No new furniture for Lili Johnston remind staff and community that donations classrooms or offices be purchased if are requested for the annual Pink Elephant Sale May 6 and 7, present furniture is available and and may be delivered to the college library or mailroom. usable.

Hikers assaulted by mountain (Continued from page 2) "We don't even get to die on the summit!" I wailed, full of calm composure.

"You're going to be all right," said our leader soothingly. "This irrational fear you're experiencing is one of the mild symptoms of mountain sickness."

"And I always thought mountain sickness was a strange compulsion to yodel."

"Look. Put up your tent, crawl inside your bag and you'll feel better."

So I took off my pack, unrolled my tent, and in the 95 m.p.h. wind, proceeded to play Beth the bird, flapping daintily from drift to drift until some guy in mukluks

wandered over to help.

"It's like being mugged by an amoeba," I panted. "You'll never get it up."

"You just gotta know which cords to tie down first," he said two minutes later with the tent completely set up. "Now heat up some food and try to sleep."

So I thanked him profusely, crawled inside and started to heat my trusty little stove, my trusty little finger and my trusty little tent which now has a picture window.

My freeze-dried guacamole dip being consumed, I snuggled down in my bag and finding the top of the tent sagging against my nose, deduced one of two things: Either a cord had pulled loose or the

FBI will interview students Special Agent Alfred G. Gunn of the FBI will be on campus April13, to interview students and graduates for full-time clerical jobs. The Bureau is presently hiring clerks, typists and stenographers for positions in Washington, D.C. Applicants must be at least 16 years old, a U.S. citizen and able to pass a spelling examination and a rigid background character in-

vestigation. Typist positions require a speed of 40 w.p.m. and stenographers must be able to take shorthand at 80 w.p.m. The starting pay for these positions ranges from $548-693 per month.

Students desiring interviews with the FBI must make an appointment in the Placement Office, no later than five school days prior to the scheduled visitation.

Abominable Snowman was sitting on my tent eating a ham sandwich.

But was I worried? Not at all. I simply stood my extra pair of frozen jeans in the corner to prop up the tent, zipped up my bag to my ears and calmly waited to die.

And did I? Only when I looked at the candid photos taken of me in my Bullwinkle long johns the next morning.

And will I ever attempt to go backpacking again? Only after Saskatchewan runs out of moose manure.

11) Complete justification of requests to advance some staff members from a partial employment to a higher or full-time employment status.

12) Individual committee members, as well as other staff members, be encouraged to submit suggestions which will enable the committee to balance the General Fund budget and operate an efficient educational program in 197778 within safe financial policies.

13) Reexamine the teaching staff assignments in relation to low enrollment sizes and possible reassignments.

Items which were rejected by the budget committee were to deny sabbatical requests and to reduce professional growth funds for certificated staff.

"The college operated a successful program in 1975-76, with known staff assignments. In 1977-78, if the attendance does not significantly exceed 1975-76, the college should be able to operate quite efficiently with the same number of staff equivalenices and with minor adjustments to take into account the growth or decline in specific areas," stated Dr. Schettler.

Losing only one set the entire match, Palomar's women's tennis team easily defeated Southwestern in a San Diego Women's League match, 9-0, increasing the Comets' record to 4-0 in league play and 7-0 going into yesterday's match at Grossmont.

Nan Haugen's netters are on their way north to play at San Francisco State today.

Linda Owen, playing in the num her one singles slot, lost her first set, 6-2, before coming back to win 62 6-1. From there on, it was all victories for the Comets. Winning in the singles along with Owen were Leslie Edman, 6-3 6-2, Leslie Koman 6-0 6-1, B. Koebke 6-2 6-1, Laura Mehaffey 6-2 6-0, and Karen Farrington 6-0 6-3.

In the doubles, Edman and Koman teamed for 6-0 6-2 victories, Owens and Koebke won 6-0 6-2, and Farrington teamed with Mehaffey to win 6-4 6-1.

Archers at finals today Palomar's archery team will hold a fund-raising "Shoot-a-Thon" in conjunction with the California State Championships at Cerritos College today and tomorrow.

Chamberlain: Golfers take over a netter plus conference lead

Proceeds from the event will help the team finance its trip to the United States Intercollegiate Championships in May at Madison College in Harrisburg, West Virginia.

Palomar's golfers took over the Mission Conference lead Monday when the Comets won the fourth of eight conference tournaments, this one on Palomar's Meadow Lake course.

Greg Galasso led the 17-stroke victory with an even par 72 as the Comets totaled 381 strokes.

Runnerup San Bernardino Valley totaled 398, while the team the Comets passed in the standings, Southwestern, came in fourth with 408 strokes.

Southwestern led the Comets in the standings by four points going into the match, but coach Bob Lusky's squad now leads by two.

Other finishers for Palomar included Mark Wiebe (73), Jeff Gipner (75), Robin Nichols (76) and Gary Bertolino (85).

The golfers are in their second day of a 36-hole tournament today at El Camino against Mira Costa and San Diego City.

The Comets are seeking local residents to act as sponsors for the team. Sponsors select one squad member and pledge to donate a certain amount of money for each hull's eye by that archer during the two days.

(Continued from page 6) the track team in the two mile, one mile, 880, high jumps and pole vault.

Chamberlain considered the decathalon but switched to tennis the last two years of high school.

"High jumps and the distance races are my favorite events. I would also like to run cross country," stated Chamberlain.

Basketball is still sport which is part of his life. Chamberlain played it for four years at San Marcos High School.

"Our team didn't do very well.

Height was a problem, most of the players were short. I was the third tallest at 5' 10"," said Chamberlain.

As for the future, Chamberlain plans to attend Cal Poly at San Luis Obisbo and continue tennis. His major scholastic interests are in economics and math.

"For the immediate future, I feel good now and we should have a good season. I had a slump in the early season, but now I hope to make state in doubles and maybe singles," stated Chamberlain.

"Sports mean competition to me. I like to compete and can't stand losing. I guess the competitive attitude in me is just something I grew up with," he concluded.

Comet nine falls, 7-2 (Continued from page 6) walk~ and Robins singled to lead offthe inning. Robins was forced at second and Ritchey got Fonseca to bounce into a double play to end Palomar's only threat.

Women cagers face Imperial Valley today After a loss to powerful MiraCosta Wednesday, the women's basketball team travels to Imperial Valley today.

Last week the Comets won two straight games, defeating University of California at San Diego and Point Lorna. Valerie Mone led the attack against Point Lorna with 18 points.

Wednesday's loss brings the teams record to 6-6 league and 8-8 overall.

Thus, if a sponsor pledges 10 cents per hull's eye and the archer shoots 20, then the sponsor would donate $2.

Those interested in sponsoring should contact coach Mildred Ayers at Palomar, 744-1150, ext. 335, or team members Diana Schettler, 7456502, or Rod Pahl, 726-1600.

During the Shoot-a-Thon each Comet archer will shoot a total of 180 arrows, varying from 40 to 60 yards from the target. The hull's eye, which is indicated by gold, measures 9.6 inches in diameter. All scoring will be judged by certified officials, and sponsors will receive a taxdeductable receipt for their donation.

Swimmers home for RCC today after winning pair Don Hubbard's aquatics team swam and dove its way to two wins Tuesday when outscoring Cerritos 55-48 and El Camino 68-30.

"It was another close one and a good one to win. Cerritos had a tough team and by switching around their lineup they came pretty close," Hubbard said.

Mark Machin, who led the Comets to their last double victory, was once again a key figure in these wins.

Machin swam neck to neck with "some pretty stiff competition" to barely win the 500 yard free style event in 5:15.9.

Miles Lundquist also garnered

honors with a 23 second win in the 50 yard freestyle race. Gene Craven won the 200 yard butterfly with 2:20.1.

The comets also captured first place in the 400 yard medley rela y in 4:10.7. The winning qua rtet consisted of Steve Moss , Phil Williams, Ron Powers and George Soulard.

Today, the Comets will h ost Riversicle at 3:30 p.m. in wh at Hubbard calls "an importa tn meet. With t wo diving events instead of the usual one, this meet should be a n exciting test for our outstanding divers. But overall, I thin k we'll be the winners," Hubbard said.

Ex-Comet wrestler places second Former Palomar wrestler Mike Karges finished second in the NCAA, Division III Wrestling Finals held earlier this month in Binghamton, New York.

Karges, a senior at H umbolt State wrestled six matches in route to his 9-3defeatin thefinalmatch.Hewon his first three matches by falls and his next two by decision, defeating a

New York State champion in the semi-final round.

Karges , a two time " All American," finished sixth in the tournament last year. His seasonal record was 34-5 and his career record at Humbolt was 58-15.

Karges will return next season to Humbolt as an assistant coach.

With the board of governors' approval to build two new educational support centers, Ben Lucero, director of Palomar's Extended Opportunities Program and Services is optimistically hoping to triple the total capacity of his program.

The new facilities will include a counseling and tutorial center which Lucero hopes will benefit 2,000 or more EOPS students.

"Hopefully the centers will be available for use in the early part of the next fall semester," Lucero said.

"It is my understanding that all peer counseling and tutoring will be centralized under the EOPS umbrella, and it is my hope that all students who experience academic problems or deficiencies will take full advantage of all the services EOPS has to offer," Lucero said.

Presently the EOPS program is partaking in a massive effort to upgrade the quality of its many services. With a substantial increase in state funds, along with a hopeful increase in staff members, Lucero is expecting "a very bright future."

This summer EOPS will hold an orientation and recruitment drive which Lucero hopes will boost his fully paid staff of 39 peer tutors and 15 peer counselors to at least 100 tutors and 75 counselors. Medical and legal aid programs will also be expanded. The positions pay $2.75 per hour and are open to anyone with proper qualificaitons. Lucero urges all who are interested to
