Br~beck retires after 25

years

Dean of Humanities steps down, reflects on past, anticipates future -

--

By Rachel Meltzer When Howard Brubeck, dean of humanities, first came to Palomar as a music instructor in 1953, there were some 165 students and 18 faculty members.

Now 25 years later, after helping to forge a respected educational institution with upwards of 15,000 students out of a few quonset huts, Brubeck is retiring.

A slightly built man who radiates a quiet intensity and speaks with a dramatic flair, he relaxes for a moment, remembering those earl y years and contemplating the changes he has seen.

- Captured in a familiar pose, Dean of Humanities Howard Brubeck readies for the opportunities awaiting him after his retirement his month.

"The opportunities looked very good indeed to me in 1953," recollects Brubeck. "Even though it was small in student body and very rickety in buildings, the attitude of the president (Phil Putnam), the

other faculty ::nembers, and of the students themselves, and the community was such that I felt that this college had a big future . I think that feeling has been born out in fact."

Brubeck, who received a bachelor's in music from San Francisco State and a master's in music from Mills College, was on the faculties of his old high school, Mills College, and San Diego State before he came to Palomar. He wanted to teach music, and was very much interested in getting into a n institution that was concerned with instructing students rather than with research.

"This is primarily a teaching faculty," says Brubeck. "We don' t h ave the publish or perish system here that most bigger institutions have. Many times at bigger schools, maybe because of administrative attitudes, professors feel pressured

to publish. They feel that they always have to do a lot of research.

For that reason, I feel they don't have the commitment in office hours and conference periods that we have here."

Yet, despite the chance for teacher contact and the small classes, Brubeck has noticed a lessening of student interest and commitment to the school during his years here.

"For example," he says, "the size of the band and our other musical groups in the early days was larger than now. Interests of students in music have switched over to more individual performance. In other words, things that they can do by themselves rather than in large groups , and that they can conti nue with when they leave school.

"This has been true in other areas, like physical education . We don't have a great many more people out for football now than we did back in those early days when the school was a pittance of the size that it is now. Students show a preference towards individual sports like archery, or greater interest in golf or tennis or racquetball where you can play with one other person.

"Take student government. There was a time on this campus, back when there were 165 students, that when a student body meeting was called there would probably be close to 16f> students. They a ll came, but, at that tim e the college was in its infancy and had an enormous amount of essential work to be done by the students. Students were here partly because they sensed the importance of their own input in all of the most vital aspects of the college.

"Now, with the school larger, there doesn't seem to be the commitment and sense of personal responsibility that th ere was. This is not to put down today's students at all. It is just to observe a fact of life."

Where does he think Palomar is headed? "We will be able, iffunding is adequate, to meet a large number of needs on this campus. We are growing in our ability to provide students with training in saleabl e The New Brubeck Quartet, Dave Brubeck and sons Darius, Chris and Dan, will participate in festivities honoring retiring Dean of Humanities Howard Brubeck (Dave's brother) with a concert in the Student Union at 8 p.m. Tuesday.

skills. I hope we continue to do that. I hope , on the other side, that we continue to keep strong our transfer program, where the skills are not so immediately saleable, but are leading to four year college programs that will result in saleable skills.

"B ut, above the realm of job skill s, I am most concerned with the college developing further courses that are going to make our students better equipped to understand the disciplines that make for a fuller, more productive, liberated kind of life. " We have to help them to see the broader relationships, which, if not seen, are going to cause us untold hardships in our civilization. We' ve got to be more concerned with each other and with the environment in which we live. A community co llege has a strong potential for doing that kind of thing. It's being don e now. I think it will grow.

IViews I Satellite Center • benefits BOO In Pendleton area

By Bob Walker Located on the main base area of Camp Pendleton, the Palomar College Satellite Center is an integral part ofthis campus' program.

Center Coordinator Peter Aretakis is located here in the Joint Educational Center information office in the Veteran's Education Department.

"The Satellite Center was established in March of 1975," says Aretakis. "I was hired in 1974 to determine the needs for a study pro~m, and our first effort didn't turn out too well.

"We sent out flyers announcing the initial five courses being offered, which were to be held in various classrooms spread out over an area of about ten square miles. At the last moment the classrooms were changed, and the new locations didn't relate to those listed in the flyers at all. You can imagine the confusion which reigned.

"Our second offering of five courses was well received, and in 1975 we were provided with a permanent building through the efforts of Major James Samuels, who was stationed at Camp Pendleton, and that is where we are located now.

"The purpose or aim of the center is to provide an environment comparable to the main campus for those individuals who, because of distance or lack of transportation, are unable to avail themselves of the facilities at the Palomar campus. We provide them with the possibility to earn an AA degree, to satisfy GED requirements, or to simnlv take courses to develov an interest in the educational process."

The Satellite Center consists of a single two story building containing ten classrooms, a reading lab, a reproduction facility, an admissions / registration area and bookstore. It is in operation Monday throul:!h Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday at 8:30a.m. to 5 p.m.

"Our facility employs 28 daytime and 31 nighttime instructors, plus myself and a staff of eight to maintain the services.

Our seating capacity is 1700 per week based upon single three hour time frames.

In addition, our 50 station reading lab is used constantly.

"350 of the 800 students enrolled this spring are from the campus or outlying districts in the area, such as Fallbrook or Bonsall," said Aretakis. "The other 450 are military and their dependents. An interesting point is that it is not unusual for a student to receive an AA degree at Pendleton without ever having seen the Palomar campus, except for graduation, of course."

Publicity for the Satellite Center is obtained through the Scout, which is the paper at Camp Pendleton, pamphlets issued each semester providing complete course description and schedules, and flyers on summer courses offered.

"One might say there are two main purposes for maintaining the Satellite Center," Aretakis says. "First, to generate interest in Palomar and all that it has to offer. It is surprising how many people are hesitant to participate in a formal education program.

Second, to provide an o_QQ<>rtunitv for people with no way to get to the campus a means to acquire an AA degree or a Genera]._Edu_c_ati_on Staron which will fulfill the requirements for their GED. "The fact that 44,069 people have participated in the program at the Center since its inception gives credence to the belief that it is successful in its endeavor."

Employees "When we've taken all the stuff out that we can take out (from the budget), we will have to, we think, reduce s alaries to twothirds of what we're now paying," Dr. Schettler said. "This means that every classified employee below the rank of secretary will be on minimum wage level and eligible for relief.

Schettler added, "We hope we won't have to cut any ofthe contract employees.

But we have lots of hourly employees ... they can be dropped off."

All administrators, supervisors, coor· dinators and directors will be assigned a class for instruction in extended day programs. All certificated support staff will teach a class as part of contracted duties. The class load change of certificated contract staff is expected to increase, with added assignments in day and extended day. Classified staff work loads are also expected to increase.

LETTERS TO THE EDITORS

13 year teacher

Palomar College has fourteen parking lots, but they do not seem to be sufficient. Students complain because they can never find parking spots at certain hours. Is it because of poor planning? Or is it because of lazy students who just want convenient parking near their classes?

Let us look at the problem lots and see if they are the result of poor planning or if they are sufficient.

Lot four is where the first problem begins. One half of it needs to be repaved because after every rain it turns to mud. This means that the lot can accommodate only one hundred instead of its original hundred and thirty capacity.

Lot seven needs to be restripped because the recent addition of new building has taken up two-thirds of the spaces. If the school would restripe, at least thirty-five more spaces could be added.

Lot nine presents another problem. An underground stream has destroyed one-fourth of the parking area. This means that about fifty spaces are unusable.

Lot eleven is reserved for staff and handicapped drivers only. Many students complain that it should be

This lot seems rather too large for its present purpose. Why could not lot seven be for the staff?

Lot twelve is a problem because late arriving students must often park at the far end of it. It is a long walk, especially if they have many books to carry to class. Butlot twelve is certainly large enough and in good repair. Every college campus has to have one lot that is farthest from the res t.

What has this survey of the problem lots discovered? About one hundred fifty spaces are currently unusable. Palomar's parking complaints can never be resolved unless the school will maintain a better maintenance program. If only ~he annual budget took care of bas1cs like parking and road repair before new buildings and other facilities, we might have a happier student body.

Delta Law requires you to read this message be/ore you leave town.

O.K., this is goodbye! Go out and get drunk!

Live it up! Have fun! The summer is yours!

But some time this summer, like around August 4th, you'd better be ready to see the funniest college movie ever created. Don't blow it!

Dear Editors: Robyn Jameson, writing in the Telescope of May 16, recklessly attacked the columns of co-editor Mike Johnson as "juvenile, unnecessarily hostile and overworked to the poin t of silliness."

I beg to differ.

That assessment, aside from its hysterical tone, reflects more on the letter writer's lack of humor and dearth of sensitivity than of asthetic consciousness.

I know Mike Johnson . I interviewed him as a high school senior last year.

When he was a co-editor of The Ma rk at San Marcos High School he printed without advisor authorization a story about an assembly o• <Tiven by fellow senior Paul Blabac, now a Palomar College student.

Blabac, an accomplished comicimpressionist, cracked up the student body but ticked off some redneck school officials, apparently.

Mike and co-editor Warren Wilson went about the story anyway and all hell broke loose. · The school board fought over it in executive session, camera crews came up from San Diego and daily newspapers featured "censorship" case in San Marcos.

Mike hadn't learn ed how unseriously peopl e take the First Amendment and freedom of the press.

It takes a real commitment to work for the Telescope, a paper- by the way - that only a handful of students give a damn about.

As for the columns themselves, I have several thoughts: 1)Yes, they're raunchy at times. 2)True, they're hard-hitting and critical.

And 3)They could stand some editing.

But I'll take the raunchy, biting satire of Mike Johnson any day to the soft, blithering nonsense and conviction-less pap that most student of his age produce. His spelling will improve with time.

Give me a writer who goes for the groin rather than the columnist who

thinks controversy.

Mike doesn't mess around, thank God . And even though his scattershot approach grazes bystanders at times, he shouldn't become discouraged because of un-reflective and hyper-sensitive letters to the editors.

"Mike's columns stand out like a naked man in church," writes Jameson with the astonishment of a nun in a nudist colony.

Damn right.

And I hope he continues to ignore the out-dated conventions of his craft and the formulas of uninspired AP prose. He won't make many friends.

But he will have earned my respec t .

Ken Stone, editor San Marcos Courier

Cafeteria ups profit Dear Editors: I'd like to make you aware of the need to improve services in the Palamar (sic) Cafeteria.

They have improved their budget; but what about the budget of students? Mr. Terry Roble feels that taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for cheeper (sic) meals for that twenty seven year old who is going to college.

He said that he has to charge two and a half times more than wha t he pays for, to come out ahead. He operates a business with no co nsidera tion for the students. This may be the only convenient place some students can get a meal.

With the prices he charges and the menus he conjures up, h e really isn't giving the students or the staff a choice. You only buy what you can afford , bring a lunch or not eat. I don't feel that a campus cafeteria should be a profit organization. I just can't see why he charges .20¢ for a hard boiled egg.

I know food is high but I haven't seen a flat of eggs cost $6.00 yet!!

Sincerely, Terry Orosco

The man who handles Palomar's $25 million budget this year compares Proposition 13 with the October revolution in Soviet Russia, World War II and the depression , except "those are mild."

Dr . John Schettler, assistant superintendent of business and an administrator for 22 yea rs sees a serious nature to what many consider property tax relief. Since February Dr. Schettler has been drafting proposed budgets for n ext year, which the school board will vote on following the June 6 election. Th budget is estima ted at over $26 million for 1978-79, but if Proposition 13 passes, it will be reduced to approximately $13.8 million.

Even with a list of cutbacks in case P-13 passes, Dr. Schettler worries that in the

con The promoters of Proposition 13 do not deny that its enactment would deprive California schools of $3.7 billion a year, but they continue to insist that the state has a constitutional and statutory obligation to replace those revenues.

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Wilson Riles calls that "a deliberate lie ," and a Superior Court judge has held that the propaganda of the Jarvis-Gann forces relating to the schools "was misleading and perhaps even false. " PERHAPS was too soft a word. The claim that the schools will automatically be gua ranteed adequate financing by the state if Proposition 13 passes at the June 6 election is entirely false.

Howard Jarvis and Paul Gann, the sponsors of Proposition 13, are guilty of three major distortions of the state's obliga tions to local education, and all dema nd rebuttal: THE DISTORTION: The Constitution stipulates that the schools have first claim on state revenues, and the Legislature would have no choice but to replace all or most of the $3.7 billion that Jarvis-Gann would take away from the schools.

THE TRUTH: Section 8 article XVI of the Constitution does contain the following requirement: "From all state revenues there shall first be set apart monies to be applied by the state for support of the public school system and public institutions of higher education."

The pro-13 statement that the schools have first priority is correct. But Jarvis and Gann choose to ignore another section of the Constitution that specifies the exact AMOUNT that "shall first be set apart." Section 6 of Article IX reads as follows: "There shall be apportioned to each school district in each fiscal year ...

$120 per pupil in average daily attendance in the district during the next preceeding fiscal year."

That limit is the state's ONLY conâ&#x20AC;˘: 1tional obligation to the districts, and u must be paid even if the STATE suffers t decline in revenues. But nothing in the Constitution requires the state to enlarge its present contribution of $120 per pupil if there is a decline in revenues for the schools, as there would be under Proposition 13.

At present, the state contributes only a fr, _ction of school costs. In the Los Angeles School District, it amounts to a fourth of the total budget. But the district relies on the property tax for more than 70 % of its revenues. Under Jarvis-Gann property taxes available to the district would be cut by more that half, and that would require massive layoffs ofteachers and massive reductions in school serVlces.

But that is of little concern to Howard Jarvis, who has never made a secret of his contempt for the schools. He continues to cite only the page of the Constitution that grants the schools the first claims on state funds, but rips out the page that imposes a specific limit on the state's rP., ponsibility.

1'HE DISTORTION : Apart from the Constitution, there is also a statute that requires the state to earmark a percentage of the sales tax for the support of elementary and secondary education.

THE TRUT H: There is no such statutory requirement. Nothing in the 1932 act establishing the sales tax, or in <m.bsequent legislation, commits a narticular percentage of sales-tax revenues to the schools.

The state subventions come from the general fund, which includes a mix of many revenues, in cluding those from the sales tax. But the law does not single out the sales tax for educational purposes, any more than it does the income or bank and corporation taxes, which also go into the general fund.

Again, Jar vis-Gann proponents deliberately mis-read the law. Their reasoning appears to be that if their claim of a CONSTITUTIONAL guarantee of additional school funding is shown to be

college will be implications to employees ofthedistrictifP-13 passes. With nearly a one million dollar payroll each month (except during the summer), he contends, "Not only do we have the problem of getting enough money to operate the place, the problem is getting it when we need it.

serious - and it has been - they can always fall back on the argument that the state has a STATUTORY obligation to save the schools from insolvency and that is just as spurious .

THE DISTORTION: An order of the California Supreme Court, requiring the equalization of spending in all school districts, will prohibit the use of property taxes for educational purposes after 1980 -the first year in which the court's edict is likely to be in effect.

THE TRUTH: Again, the pro-13 advocates are playing fast and loose with the facts. Jarvis himself no longer uses his own self-serving interpretation ofthe Supreme Court order in Serrano v. Priest and for good reason. He tried to insert it in the official ballot argument in support of Proposition 13 the statement that the initiative "does not reduce tax money for the schools after 1980".

Sacramento Superior Judge Irving Perluss told Jarvis that the statement was "misleading and perhaps even false," and forced him to strikeitfrom the ballot argument. the judge was right to do so. The' Supreme Court decision merely requires that school funds be split evenly among rich and poor districts. It does not exclude the sales tax from those revenues. The only connection between Proposition 13 and Serrano v. Priest is that there will be a $3.8 billion slash in funds available for equalization if the initiative passes.

Although Jarvis and Gann- bound by Perluss' decision -no longer persist in this earliest of their false contentions, their supporters are still using it as a reason to vote Yes on 13.

Jarvis and Gann have an obvious reason for minimizing the effect that their initiative would have on schools.

They perceive, and rightly, that the public is sick and tired of rising property taxes, and can be misled into voting for a treatment as radical and disruptive as Proposition 13.

But Jarvis and Gann also perceive, and rightly, that, while Californians may be willing to punish the politicians, they are not willing to punish their children. They will not accept poverty-level educations for their sons and daughters- and that is

have to mortgage the place. " As a businessman , Dr. Schettler feels that the impact of P-13 will be as bad to the overall economy as to the schools.

"This may be the first kick of something that will be as disasterous as the Soviet revolution," he remarked. "It's not just the evils to this college, or to the schools; it's the loss of local control of local government.

"When you lose that, you are ready for some type of totalitarian system, be it facist, be it communist or something else."

Dr. Schettler contends that big bu iness will benefit most if Proposition 13 passes, like railroad, utility and power companies. "Interestingly enough, the top management of these big companies know what the secondary effects will be," he said, "and they're against (Proposition) 13. The bigger the company, the more opposition they put up to 13.

"It's rather interesting that in the richest state of the richest country of the world, in the most affluent period we've ever met, we may be back practicing the same things we were doing in the depression," he concluded.

Mi k e Carney, Student: "I'm going to lose my job if it passes, so naturally I'm voting no. If Proposition 13 passes it will degrade our quality of education, partly because we'll lose some fine teachers .

The students able to vote should be more a ware, but it's too bad they lack initiative. They're lazy."

what they will have if the initiative passes and deprives the schools of most of their principal source of revenue.

How do Jarvis and Gann respond to that concern?

In one breath, they concede that the schools will face a desperate shortage bf funds if the voters approve Proposition 13. But, in the next breath, they tell parents not to worry that the state has a duty to rush to the rescue.

Jarvis and Gann are dead wrong.

Nothing in the California Constitution or in the statutes requires the state to contribute more to the schools than it is contributing now and to argue otherwise i!> a dangerous deceit.

Frank Martinie, Social Science Instructor: "The taxpayers in this state are quite legitimate in their feeling that stat-e and local government are expending too much. We've got to put a cap on the spending at all levels. A measure should be passed stating that the personal income for the state of California for the previous year, and that some set percentage be allowed as the total expenditures for all the levels of state and local government."

Thomas Humphrey, Coordinator, Real Estate: "Some type of tax program is absolutely necessary but I don't feel this is the right process to go about it.

I think Proposition 8 is much more favorable, particularly to the homeowner as far as the overall tax implications are concerned. If 13 passes, classes without adequate enrollment will not be carried out.

Another possibility is that of tuition, which I don 't think student voters are aware of."

SCULPTORS WORK WITH BRONZE

Foundry art:a lasting experience

By El Gitano Blanco One of the lesser known but intriguing art courses taught here is "Foundry Techniques." With apologies to the instructor, the title in no way captures the fun and excitement of creation, experienced in his course.

Instructor Arthur E. (Art) Turowski is originally from Newark, New Jersey. Retired from the Marine Corps, he has an AA from Mira Costa, a BA and MA from San Diego State, and has been at Palomar as an art technician and instructor for over four years.

By spending just three hours an evening, two nights a week, a student can learn to turn any figure or shape imaginable into bronze.

For those who want their art work to be eternal, it's the only way to go.

"We designed the course to instruct students in the techniques of sculptural bronze casting," explains Turowski. "The method used is CIRE PERDUE or lost wax.

Old method Initially we used traditional methods to 'invest' the sculptured forms (to encase them in a hard material)." That method involved mixing large amounts of plaster and brick dust. The solution was then applied to the form to be cast and allowed to harden.

"That meant that the invested piece was very heavy and hard to handle." To get the wax out of the mold so that the bronze could be poured, a long "burnout" was required.

"Five days in a 1300 degree oven requires a lot of energy," says Art. "The method we now use is cheaper, quicker and easier."

New method For a year now the Foundry Techniques Class has been employing the ceramic shell investment method which is primarily an industrial process.

"Recently, artists have adopted this method for casting sculpture of a limited size. It provides much finer detail than the other methods."

The ceramic shell investment method, just like any other form of lost wax casting, requires that the object to be cast is formed , shaped or sculpted from a petroleum based wax. Sprues or air vents made of the same material are then attached to the piece and its pouring cup which is also made of wax. The process sounds more complicated than it really is.

Slurry application Once the piece to be cast is properly sprued, it is coated with household floor wax and allowed to

dry. This makes the surface of the wax adhesive to the ceramic slurry which is applied next.

The slurry, which has a maple syrup consistency is a gray, muddy liquid that is poured over the entire surface of the piece and its associated air vents. While this ceramic material is still wet, it is coated with dry silica sand, then allowed to dry for 24 hours.

tiona! quality," said Turowski. It seems that the only real difference is in the materials used.

"The Africans use beeswax for their sculpting, because it is what's available to them. They process a local clay for investment material and get amazing results."

Future plans Presently the Foundry Techniques class pours bronze and aluminium, but they are hoping to expand. "In the future we may be making and pouring iron."

The process is repeated four more times. When the fifth and final layer is dry, the piece is solidly encased in a ceramic shell which is not much larger than the original piece and weighs only slightly more. "At this The method used in bronze stage the piece is much easier to casting is unique to Palomar in handle than it would have been using the old traditional method," North San Diego County. The only exceptions to this are Art Turowski's Art tells us . students. "Our course gives them a Wax removal foundation in the fundamental All the wax inside the shell must techniques of the ceramic shell now be removed to leave a mold into method. Several of our students have constructed their own founwhich the bronze can be poured.

This melts the wax which runs out through the cup leaving ''lasting" works of art or just wanonly the ceramic shell.

46 and will be again offered in the "It is imperative that the melting fall. process start at the bottom so that the wax always has a path of escape.

If not, the heated, expanding wax will crack the ceramic shell."

Bronze pouring Just prior to pouring the bronze into the mold, it is placed in an oven with a tern perature in excess of 1400 degrees F. This eliminates the last vestiges of wax inside the mold and also hardens and strengthens the ceramic shell.

After 15 to 30 minutes in the oven the hot mold is placed in pouring position in a sand pit. Molten bronze is poured into the pouring cup and the mold is filled. In a very few minutes the bronze hardens to a point that the mold can be removed from the sand pit.

As the bronze cools, its ceramic crust begins to crack and fall away.

When it has completely cooled the last bits of ceramic are chipped away and with luck your bronze figure is ready to shine up and take its place in the world.

Mrican origin "As with any art form you're likely to lose a piece now and then," explains Turowski, "but so far this semester we've had several good¡ pours and very few of the pieces have been lost."

The method of bronze casting used here at Palomar is believed to have been developed years ago in West Africa by tribes at Benin and Ife. ''These tribes have for years produced busts and masks of excep-

Netters pick outstanding players Brady chosen top Frosh; tw o g et Most Improved

By Mike Carney After a seemingly easy season of tennis where the Comets finished 140 in conferen ce play, their toughest match cam e early this week when they selected their team leaders.

Reese Weigandt (not available for picture), with a 12-0 league record, received the team's Most Valuable Player. Jill Brady, 14-0, was voted Outstanding Freshmen Player and Karen Farrington, 14-0, and Ellen Etherton, 13-1, were selected Most Improved.

Brady, a graduate from Mission Vi ejo High, came to Palomar because her parents moved down to La Costa. "I play tennis because I like to compete," said Brady.

"This has been a good year for me.

I've improved a lot. M y groundstrokes have become more consistent. Most important, my a ttitude h as improved. I used to get m a d wh en I played."

Brady, who started playing tennis a t 14, pl ans to play in the upcoming La J oil a Tennis Tournament this summer. She pla ns to play singles and team up with teammate Laura Mehaffey in doubles.

"It has really been a fun year," s aid Brady. "I got to travel a lot. As a team, we were pretty good together.

We all got along with each other."

Bra dy' s not sure about next year beca use h er family might move a ga in.

O ne o f Brady's top accomplishments this season was wh en she upset one of the state's top players, Ingrid Stevenson of Santa Monica at the Southern California Finals.

Farrington, a graduate from San

P asqua], started playing tennis seven years ago. "My dad's a tennis player and he got me into it."

Farrington, one of only two sophomore of the team, played number sixth singles on last year's team. This year, she occupied the number two spot. "I became more consistent," said Farrington. " I used to try to slam the ball with my forehand and just put people away.

My backhand is still coming around.

I can't make too many shots with it.

I'm just able to keep the ball going, then when a player hits to my forehand, I'd put them away."

Farrington's been offered a fullscholarship to play tennis at Oral Roberts University in Oklahoma and is presently applying for it. "But I hope to major in fine arts," said Farrington. "I like to paint, but this summer I'm going to work extremely hard on my tennis game for next year."

"This year was really great for me.

We had a great team ," Farrington said. "Reese helped me out a lot. I wa nted to play good for h er sake. " I really appreciate Coach (Nan) Haugen a great deal. She got me to calm down in my game. She was a great encour agement," concluded Farrington.

Etherton , playing her first year at P a lomar, almost didn't make the team. InN ovember, Haugen told her tha t if she didn't develop a backhand she wouldn't make the team. Luckily for tKe Comets, Etherton cam e through with the backhand and wound up assisting the team to the league champion ship. " She's an extremely strong sixth player," said Haugen.

Jeffe ry recalls time that women cagers played with six at a time

By Michael Carney How many people remember when women's basketball games were played with six players at a time?

With the court divided in half and the guards and forwards couldn't cross into the other zone?

Well , Coach Vi Jeffery remembers and it wasn't that long ago. The change happened in 1970. "All of a sudden they decided girl's could handle the whole court," said Jeffery. " Up until 1969, the girls could only dribble the ball twice."

Besides coaching basketball, Jeffery is also the womens athletic director and the field hockey coach.

"As athletic director I, with the help of the coaches, prepare and distribute the budget ," said Jeffery. "I mostly oversee the whole women's athletic program, make sure all paper work is turned in and make decisions that have to be made."

Jeffery was born in Hawaii and went to Panahou High. After graduation she went to San Diego State to get a degree in physical education. "At that time, California didn't allow women to compete in sports."

She graduated from state and instead of working, wound up starting a family . "I quit because I had two kids. It's difficult to raise a family and work."

She got back in teaching in 1965, teaching physical education at

Hogan shot a 501 to lead the women. The three-some of Hogan, Nona Thompson and Judy Crom scored a total of 1451 points at Sherwood Forrest Lanes in Santa Ana. Cypress captured second with 1376 points.

Mt. Sac finished third at 1357.

Carol Van Hannik of Cypress won the state individual championship.

Adams nips Wayne's Wongs for th ree-man cage title It came down to a tight battle, but when it was over, the Adams was the team to come out on top in the recent Palomar Intramurals three-man basketball tournament.

Adams, composed of team members Donald Tornow, Jim Flores and Dan Nickles, defeated Wayne's Wongs in the championship game, 19-18, in the Dome.

Wayne's Wongs, which included Wayne Purcell, Jon Burnes, Dave Gilmour, Rick Disney and Scott Holthous, received the runner-up award.

Vista High. "At that time there was still no competition for girls at Vista."

In 1967, Jeffery came to Palomar and became an assistant coach in volleyball, basketball, hockey, and softball. "I've always been active," said Jeffery. "I just like to compete."

She became athletic director two years ago and stuck to just coaching basketball and hockey. "I've always had very successful hockey teams until this year," said Jeffery. "We usually took first or second. When we first started, we kept our results on a piece of scratch paper."

One of Jeffery's most memorable hockey players was Ann Lebadeff.

In 1970, she led the Comets to a!?- 8-0_

record . " N a tur ally my most memorable game in hockey was when we beat San Diego Sta te."

Jeffery holds a 99-70 record as head coach of the Comets over a n 11 year period . " Record-wise, t his was my best year , ending up at 18-5 and

STATE RUNNER- UP - Comet sophomore Tom Petranoff, who was recently named the Mission Conference track athlete of the year, had a toss of 223-4 to place second in the javelin at Saturday 's state meet in Bakersfield. Petranoff came into the meet as the Southern California champion and holder of the state's top mark of 261-7, but a back injury has hindered the Comet's progress this season. Two other Palomar athletes received medals at the state mee t. Pole vaulter Don Hancock cleared 15-1 and steeplechase runner Curt Ljung was timed in 9:15.0, both marks good for sixthplace finish es. Triple jumper Pat Chigbolu also competed, but a muscle pull held his top effort to a non-placing 47-7. (Ph oto by Rick Hoff)

Humanities department head retires after 25 years (Continued from page 1) that I wanted to see finished before I left are mostly taken care of now, and I feel that this is a good time to leave.

"If J arvis-Gann passes, I frankly don ' t know where it is going to lead.

I don 't know what will have to be excluded, or who we'll feel comfortable cutting. I think our taxpayers are getting an enormously good bargain with Palomar. We have provided a first-rate program on a small budget here as compared to other campuses. I just hope that the proponents of the measure know something that I don't. I hope they kn ow how all the important things are going to be taken care of, because I cannot see where any provisions are being m ade."

Brubeck is an accomplished musician, composer, and arranger. When asked how his interest in music began , he smiles, and says, "I don't remember a day in my life when I couldn't play the piano. I don't remember anything about early instruction. I think I always knew I would teach. My mother was a teacher, and I had opportunities to help her at an early age."

He speaks with great emotion of his teacher at Mills, a man who, he says, occupied position number one in hi s life outside of his family. This man was French composer Darius Milh aud, who, because he was Jewish, was forced to flee Paris with his wife and child to escape Hitler at the start of World War II. He came to the United States, where h e was welcomed, and was free to conti nue with his music.

Remembers Brubeck, "Milhaud was one of the most kind, understanding, sympathetic people that ever crossed my path. He had the capacity as a teacher to take the student where the student wanted to go, find

out his strengths, and make him stronger."

Brubeck says he is not sure what he plans to do when he leaves Palomar. He wants to be opened about opportunities.

"One of the things that we (he and his wife) most wish to do is travel.

We've planned a trip up to Alaska right after graduation. Next spring we'll head for Europe. How long we'll stay we don't know. We may make several short trips, or go over there and camp for six months or so.

I think that we want to try to experience life in several parts of Europe.

"After we have slowed down the tempo of our life, there will always be opportunities to teach , to write music, and to arrange. I'm just going to try to do what comes natural.

"I feel that I haven't done everything that I set out to do, but I've done enough to feel that my time at Palomar, and my life to this point, was well worthwhile. I am not smuggly satisfied, but I am rather pleased with what I have done. The regrets are outweighed by the senses of achievement."

World Environment Day to

be observed f.londay

World Environment Day is scheduled for Monday. Locally sponsored by the Palomar Environmental Awareness Club for Ecology, the day will be filled with slide shows, lectures and musical entertainment most of which will be held on the Ia wn in front of the Dome from 9:30 a .m. to 6 p.m.

A dinner/ dance concert will conclude the day's activities. Admission for the dinner/ dance concert is $1 for ASG and Gold Card holders and $2 general. Dinner tickets will cost $1.50 for everyone.

By Rick Hoff Spring, 1980: A pair of ants are making their way along the black tartan surface, weaving in and out of the weeds that have sprouted through the cracks in the turf.

"There's no way we could have gotten away with running around like this up here a year ago," says the one ant to his friend, a visitor from a colony in Vista. "We would have been trampled on in nothing flat. Seems like there was always a bunch of humans running around training for what they called ' meets.' They had a couple of these 'meets' here last year and it was too much. Hum ans running all over the place, jumping over bars and into piles of sand. And I nearly got pulverized by a gigantic steel ball they threw around.

"But it's been nice and quiet lately. It's the same up there, where they used to do all kinds of crazy things like bounce this big ball and throw it through a hoop or hit this plastic thing back and forth with these stick-like things. But since the humans don't use that building any more, they didn't bother to put a new dome on it when the old one was blown off by a storm last winter."

"Yep," said the Vista ant. "I :remember when some of your Palomar h urn ans used to come to the high school in my territory and tromp around on Saturday nights, :running in to each other at full speed again and again and knocking other humans to the ground. I used to take Ma and the kids to watch 'em. Boy, did the kids ever get a kick out of watching those humans beat up on each other.

"Now, it's h ard to find anything to do on Saturday nights around Vista, except maybe crawl on down to the Straw Hat for so me pizza crumbs."

"I hear you, " said the Palomar ant. "Even though there's less chance to get stepped on around here, I miss watching the Palomar hum ans score more points than the humans with the different-colored skin covering. The Palomar humans did that a lot, you know. But those days are long gone."

The possibility of the preceding discussion, or words to that effect, taking place in 1980 depends on two things: the ability of ants to develop the power of speech, and the passing of proposition 13. Assuming that ants can indeed communicate in one way or another, it is left up to the voters to decide whether or not the ants traverse alone along the Palomar track, the Dome gymnasium or the Vista High football stadium, or with Palomar athletes.

Of course, saying now that there will be no athletic program for Palomar College in two years is a statement of speculation . But if the

{(We just don't know what to expect."

J arvis-Gann initiative should pass June 6, the condition ofthe Palomar program could and probably will be drastically changed.

"That's the thing," sighs men's athletic director Andy Gilmour. "We just don't know what to expect because we won't know what changes there will be until after the election."

Gilmour has built one of the strongest junior college athletic programs in the state, and he doesn't want to watch it disappear due to a lack of funds. San Bernardino Valley College, a member of the Mission Conference, has already stated that it will drop its entire athletic program by the beginning of the fall , 1978 season should 13 pass.

The Comets won their second straight Iron Man trophy for having the top athletic program of the year in all sports amongst the eight conference schools.

Palomar followed a banner

athletic year in 1976-77 with another great season in 77-78: State ch ampionships in men's wrestling and women 's archery. Conference championships for both the men's and women 's tennis teams. Conference co-championships for both basketball teams and women's softball.

Mission titles for the men's water polo sqaud a nd the women's swim team.

Palomar placed second in men's football, soccer, baseball and swimming, and the women had a second

{(A key factor is how the (surplus) money lS distributed." in volleyball. Needless to say, Palomar College has a top-notch program in an area of the country that annually produces top-notch athletes. What will happen if proposition 13 is accepted by the constituents?

"It's a wait-and-see type thing," said physical education and recreation director Tony Lynds. "No one knows what's going to be cut back.

The main thing is that there will be an athletic program here at Palomar College in 1978-79. We'll have a year to see what the effects are and what kind of moves we'll have to make in the future."

Gilmour has been warned already of the type of cuts he will have to take.

"They may not let a ny of our teams go to tournaments or games that are farther than 100 miles and the· athletes may have to start paying for their own food on the :road trips, too."

Lynds predicts a high increase in costs for public recreation activities, as well as the school's athletic program, should 13 pass.

"Our recreation activities are being funded 50 percent by the community, and ifl3goes, the funds will have to be taken directly from fees . Right off, I can tell you that adm ission to the swimming pool will jump from $3 to about $10. Right now, the burden is on the coaches and the instructors, rather than the administrators. We can have a full athletic program for a year unless the coaches simply say no to the

salary cuts, which I've heard may be as high as 37 percent. Although the state can possibly come up with the money out of s urplus funds, a key factor is how that money will be distributed. When the state takes control, it will be that much more of a bureaucracy."

Women's athletic director Vi Jeffery has worries that her program may get a more drastic cut than the other programs on campus.

"I've been told that we may get more of a cutback than the men, and if that happens , I'll throw Title IX at them. I've been bitter about the subject and this just makes it worse.

The women's programs are just starting to get off the ground. The men's program has been enjoying all of the past successes, and now I'm starting to enjoy the success the women's teams h ave been having.

Then this comes up. " Jeffery says that the largest cutback could come in supplies, where Palomar is in dire need of better equipment.

"Some of the stuff we have to work with is just terrible. Now, if 13 goes through, there's a chance we'll be telling the girls that they'll have to bring their own bats a nd balls and

And it's not just in athletics. When I try to convince people to vote no and they find out I'm a teacher, they think I don't want 13 just because I'm a teacher. But even ifl wasn't, I wouldn't vote for something that could be declared unconstitutional later."

It's a waiting game for Gilmour, Jeffery and the rest of the coaches.

Not knowing whether to allot $1500 or $500 for a certain program has been a problem. Of course, the Comet coaches will be able to shift their worries to recruiting and other normal coaching activities if 13 is voted down . If 13 passes, Palomar College will undoubtedly be confronted with an antsy situation.

'DRIBBLE TWICE, THEN PASS'

Jeffery recalls past as Comet cage coach (Continued from page 7) tying for the conference championship," said Jeffery. " But I think my best team was in 1972. We finished up with a 13-6 record, won the Grossmont Tournament and the league championship." At that time the Comets competed in the San Diego Intercollegiate Conference.

They entered the Mission Conference at the beginning of this season.

Her most memorable basketball

game came about three months ago when the Comets upset MiraCosta 64-63, at the loser's gym. "The competition in our league is getting much better," said Jeffery. A few of her other fine seasons were in 1967 when the team finished at 5-1 and in 1970 when they finished at 8-1.

This year's team, one of the Comets' best, had Sara Jane and Lori Schwalbach selected to the AllConference team. Carol Wardrop and Valerie Moore received an honorable mention.

Palomar student eighth at U.S. bowling tourney The first Palomar College student to ever qualify for a berth in the National Collegiate Bowling Championships came away with an eighth-place finish in that prestigious event.

Ray Dovel, a sophomore at Palomar and a navy veteran, placed eighth in the nation in the championships held recently at River Grove, Illinois. In a sudden death playoff held at theW estern Regional

Tournament in River Grove, Dovel lost by eight points, preventing him from advancing to the finals, which are being held inN ew York City this month.

"Ray is a natural winner who has a tremendous ability to adjust to the game," said Comet bowling coach Chris Pagakis of the man who sports a 192 average. "He is a key student of the game and never loses his cool."
