Van use restricted; gas shortage hits PC By Richard Medugno and Kurt Loe It's no secret that gas is in short supply at Southern California pumping stations and Palomar's fuel situation is no different. Down to less than 200 gallons of gas, the college has restricted use of its transportation vans to only handicapped services and emergencies. The situation has put most school field trips in the near future into jeopardy. The 200 gallons offuel will only last a week. The college does expect a shipment of 1100 gallons soon but that will have to last for the final four weeks of the semester. Fortunately, most of the spring sports teams finished up their seasons last week, however, three of

The 25 clocks and the fire alarm system for the buildings h ave been inoperable since they were put in , over 15 months ago. Due to a stolen $800 contro l box, 6:59 and 38 seconds has been the on ly time tudents have seen on the faces of the stagna nt time keepers. The contro l box contains the wiring that co nn ects t he clocks and a larm system with the rest of those on campus. Responsibility for the stolen box caused a long threat of court action between Palomar and the company who installed the buildings, but the company has since agreed to get a new one and install it. Today i · schedu led to be the big dav when the seco nd hands for the fir~t time will sweep across the fares of t he clocks . No formal ceremony of ribbon cutti ng or cork-popping is planned but Dr. ,)o hn Sc hettler, k;sititant Superintendent in ChargP. of Kusiness. said. "We'll pull the fiw alarm . We have to see if it works:.. Informal celebrations are planm·cl to be rompa ra hie to Tim es Squanj on NPw YPar's Evl' hy peopiP who'v<' li wcl in tlw tim<'-W<Irp<'d arf'n fort lw 1,-l months .

Spring art sale offe rs student artists' work With Mother's Day just around the corner (May 13), the student art sale is the place to find the right gift for her at a reasonable price. The sale will be today from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The thirteenth annual spring art sale will be set up on the campus art lawn , and will have a variety of art objects including mugs, bowls, planters, dishes, jewelry and candle made from ceramics, glass and other materials. Tips on the care and handling for pottery and glass items will be available at the sale. Barry Reed, advisor to the sale and campus art instructor, points out that nonpoisonous glazes are used on the ceramic pieces. Reed adds that the average price for the student art work is in the $5 range with 20 percent of the proceeds going to the art guild and the remainin g going to the student artists. The guild funds are used to defray the cost of student supplies and equipment not covered in the budget. Reed also says that any student may participate in the sale as long as their art is not sold through a business. Co-chairmen for the sale are students Harold Tanner and Burns Devote. For further information contact Barry Reed at 744-1150 or 727-7529 .

Boehm Ga llery shows collection Selections from the Boehm Gallery's permanent art collection will be on display in the gallery through May 17. Paintings, drawings , prints and ceramic pieces are included in the exhibit.

Gallery director Russell Baldwin says that the college has been acquiring works by major artists since the gallery's inception in 1964. He feels that the collection is one of the best of its kind on the west coast. Baldwin adds, that the growing collection is through the generosity of individuals in the community, the Patrons of Palomar College, civic organizations, students and direct acquisition. Gallery hours are : Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 8 p .m. ; Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For further information contact Baldwin at 744-1150 or 727-7529.

the teams are in post-season competition which had planned on the use of the vans. The women's basketball team wants to travel to Saddleback College to compete in the State finals . Coach Vi Jeffery is trying to get her team trip under the "emergency" category. Jeffery says her team will make it to the tournament. The question is just whether they go as a team in the van or in separate cars. Doc Marrin's track squad is scheduled to travel to Bakersfield for the State meet a nd the women's tennis team is slated to compete at Mount Sac in Los Angeles County. Their participation in the events is now questionable. If Palomar were to run dry altogether it would affect 30 or 35 handicapped students' ability to get to school. It is estimated that the two vans that service the disabled get only 10 to 12 mpg and travel over a thousand miles per week in taking the students to and from campus. An alternative would be for the college vans to wait in the gas lines like everyone else and use the school's gas credit cards .

School planning sessions slated Students planning to earn an Associate in Arts Degree, Vocational Certificate , or transfer to a four-year college or university, are invited to attend a series of Educational Planning Sessions sponsored by the Counseling Department.
