res1gns "Whether an ASG president flops or not depends on how much the legislature does ." Those words were spoken by former ASG president Donna McFadden, who, after only five months, has resigned her position and is now the director of the Student Help Center. Her place will be filled by former vice-president Greg Heffernan. As with earlier student apathy, the problem, according to McFadden, was that the legislature wasn't willing to get involved. "I tried to get them to be enthusiastic and get involved, to take committee positions, but they either weren't interested or just couldn't find the time. "I was doing everyone else's work and attending my classes too. It was affecting my health and my grades." McFadden was extremely enthusiastic about being president and strongly emphasizes that she is not "quitting the cause. "The legislators made a commitment to themselves and to the students. I was willing to put in the time as long as everyone else did their full share." As it was, she felt that neither she nor the ASG were being fair to the student body : "I was working my tail off and not accomplishing anything. I knew if I kept on this way, I would have ended up shouldering everything and taking the blame, and at the end of the year being very disillusioned." She hopes that her resignation has "spurred them on a little."

Library recei.VeS partial face/iff In addition to other construction on campus, th e library has received somewhat of a facelift. Clean carpets, lights, and a new paint job resulted in the closing of the library for a short time during August. Also during the summer, a new service was added in the form of an individual tour system. Formed by Keith Hanssen of the Learning Reso urces Center and librarian Alexis Ciurczak of reference/ technical services, the service consists of ten cassettes and portable recorders with headphones. Although the library gives group tours, this system enables students to take tours on their own . The voice on the cassette guides them through the front desk, reference section , card catalogue, periodical section, Library of Congress system and all other aspects of the library. The tour is free and takes twenty minutes. Cassettes may be checked out at the front desk. The library also has its Library of Congress system fully organized, with a ll the books catalogued by this method in the front of the library. Books catalogued by the Dewey Decimal System are located in the back of the library.

Comet harriers . face

By Kurt Loe Both Palomar and MiraCosta officials have leveled charges against each other following an alleged illegal recruiting maneuver by Palomar. Because of these charges athletic director Andy Gilmour plans on eliminating MiraCosta from competing against the Comets after this spring. "It's through . Our athletic relationship with Mira Costa is over. We'll honor our schedule commitments this year, but unless there is releaguing in the future , we'll never play them again." Two weeks ago MiraCosta requested that Palomar freshman wrestler-football player Bill Fallon be declared ineligible by the Mission Conference. They were turned down . MiraCosta's charge stems from last March when Carlsbad's wrestling coach Mark Nelson invited the Comet's wrestling coach John Woods to talk to six of his wrestlers which included Fallon . At this time, according to Gilmour, both Nelson and Woods apparently thought because MiraCosta had dropped wrestling from their athletic program, it was acceptable to allow a wrestling coach to recruit from outside his community college area. Soon after being informed about the violation, Tom Shields, the Spartan's athletic director, contacted Gilmour concerning this violation of the state athletic code. According to the code, a coach cannot make initial contact with an athlete in another school's district. "I then apologized to him immediately and assured him that it would not not happen again," said Gilmour. " It was an honest mistake. John (Woods) simply didn't realize the rule still applied when a school dropped a particular sport. He called a :.1d apologized to MiraCosta afterwards ." The matter would have eventually blown over as Fallon had enrolled at Palomar on July 17 intent on wrestl-
ing. However, he decided to play football and joined the summer football class. Shortly thereafter, as Gilmour tells it, "Billy had driven his cousin to practice when he was approached by Shields and football coach Bill Corchran. They then reportedly informed Fallon that he would be declared ineligible at Palomar.' According to Gilmour, "Billy was scared and pressured into taking a physical and drawing football gear to play for MiraCosta sometime between August 22 and 26. During those same dates Fallon returned to Palomar to inform Gilmour and the other coaches about what was happening. It was at this time that both Woods and Gilmour assured him that he would be eligible at Palomar a nd he returned his gear. That was not to be the end, however, as on September 5 Mira Costa athletic officials filed a formal protest with the Mission Conference eligibility committee charging Palomar with an illegal recruiting violation and requesting that Fallon be declared ineligible. The committee declared Fallon eligible and recommended that Palomar officials take appropriate action which is anticipated will come in a letter of reprimand. Gilmour acknowleged that Palomar President Dr. Omar Scheidt had already called both Woods and Gilmour into his office before the committee made its recommendation and reprimanded them verbally. Gilmour feels that this whole thing was blown out of proportion by MiraCosta and gladly would have dropped the issue had they accepted Palomar's apo logy . (Despite the fact that they had already tampered with Fallon after he was enrolled at Palomar.) Therefore, Gilmour has sent a letter to Dr. Scheidt which outlines the fact that a football coach from MiraCosta has illegally talked to Fallbrook football players .
Art refuses more students; airbrush class resumes Art classes are busier than ever, according to James Saw, chairman of the Art Department, who says that students have actually been turned away. After a year's layoff, the airbrush class has begun with an enrollment of 29 students. There were some private classes, but now Palomar has the only airbrush class in San Diego County. Faculty additions to the department include Carol Mansfield who teaches an evening class, Drawing I and II, and a flat glass class taught by Ray Warner. This class is basically the same as stained glass . Judy Dornbush was on staff last year and teaches an afternoon threedimensional design class. "It is one of the few classes that could use more people." Saw emphasizes that, "We are trying to expand our threedimensional area to include a better sculpture program. We have a sculpture, ceramic sculpture and foundry (metal sculpture). We are trying to get more student energy into the program. We want a sculpture class that stands alone and we need more students for that. "We think with the extra threedimensional classes we can fill the other classes." Interest in art seems to change and now painting has become very
popular. There are three painting classes- oil and acrylic, water, and airbrush. The Art Department is at a point where it can't expand because of lack of facilities . However, they are attempting to improve the quality of what they consider "an already quality program . "Things are going real smooth. We are all getting along and doing what we want to do and you can't beat that," concludes Saw.
