Instructors travel, study on sabbaticals New interests, higher degrees , and better ways to communicate are some of the reasons instructors are taking sabbaticals this year. Martha Lehr, with the Co unseling Department, is taking a one semester sabbatical to gain varied experiences exploring and studYing in the network of alternatives to traditional counseling in mental, physical and spiritual institutions. John Dise, also with the Counseling Department, hopes to establish and maintain better communication and counseling relationships with students and families of diverse ethnic ancestry through a one year study-travel through Africa, Centra l America, Europe, India, Japan, Taiwan, and the United States. Rita A. White , who has been Chairperson of the Art Department, is attending Pepperdine University this year. She is planning to complete her doctorate in Community College Administration. George D. Durrant, also with the Art Department, will be presenting a show of his own works in Texas. He will then continue on to the east coast to do research in various museums and university art departments. Fred Elliott, a botany instructor, will be spending the fall semester photographing the fall colors of the leaves, and visiting the biology departments of sch ools, colleges, and museums in the eastern and northern states. LaVere C. Campbell, who along with Thomas R Humphrey created Carnphrey Distributors, a fictitious business used to simulate a real business experience for business students, is on leave in order to write two additional courses for the program. Business Department instructor Robert E. Lent says of his leave, "I am doing something I think all community colleges should do for their instructors. When I come back from my sabbati cal, I will be trained in two new areas . If Palomar had a program for retraining instructors, we would not have to hire so many new people. When a new field opened up, we could use the instructors who have tenure." Lent is studying small business administration and consumer economics. Kieth Hanssen, the Learning Resources Specialist on campus, is making a tour of community colleges in the United States for the purpose of research.

CONNECTING ROAD TERMED 'NECESSARY'
College pushes for new entrance By Jim Duffy San Marcos is in a hurry. It has the mon ey to pave Notch Road - up to the boundary of Palomar -and wants the college to build a connecting road from the property line to the parking areas. Now! An article published in the San Marcos Courier, September 28, gave the impression that the college was delaying construction of the road. In that article it was stated, " Having gotten nowhere with the administration, city councilmen took their case directly to the students in an attempt to convince the college that the road was needed." Bruce Robbins, ASG President, however, stated, "No one from the city has contacted me. A realtor from San Marcos who owned some property where the road is going was out here and said a letter was coming from the city but I haven't received anything yet." The Governing Board of Palomar College was inform ed of the City's request for the coll ege to build the co nnecting road only 3 weeks ago.
Robbins, who is also a member of the Board said, "At the Governing Board meeting of September 26, the administration made th e board aware that the city is ready and willing to develop Notch Road." Dr. Omar Scheidt, Presidentofthe college, informed the Board that since the passage of Proposition 13 the only funding available to pay for the road was the student parking fee . He asked for the Board approval to obtain cost estimates for the construction of a 1300 foot asphalt road with a 5 foot bike lane, curbs, gutter and a four foot sidewalk and to calcul ate the increase in the parking fee necessary to cover the cost of the road. The Courier article claimed, "The college Board of Trustees Tuesday budged a little towards the city's viewpoint and authorized the administration to look for construction cost estimates." Referring to the article and speaking of the college's attitude concernin g the construction of the road , Gene Jackson , Dean of Student
Affairs said, "This article does not in anyway reflect what I heard at the meeting. I clid not sense any hesitation or reluctance on the part of the board or the administration. There were questions raised concerning the realistic cost estimates and how the cost was to be paid." Jackson had told the Student Legislature that the plan was to be presented to the Board at an earlier legislative meeting and asked for student in put concerning the road. The legislature concurred that the road was necessary, but would not support an increase in the parking fee until they found out how much it would be.
