New theater opens with arts program

GRAND OPENING - The new educational theatre has finally been completed and will burst through in all its glory tomorrow with "A Celebration to the Future." Performances throughout the day will include music, dance, drama and reader's theatre. The ASG has

officially selected a name for the structure, which is the Norman Gaskins Memorial Theatre. Gaskins was a dedicated educational contributor to the Drama Department for many years.

ASG picking up the ¡pieces again After a rather bumpy start to the legislative year, new ASG President Greg Heffernan plans to start picking up the pieces.

He has risen from ASG vicepresident to take the place of Donna McFadden who resigned two weeks ago. His immediate goal is to "pick up where Donna left off and try to sort out everything she was doing."

He would also like to see the upcoming elections run more smoothly.

"The elections were very unorganized last time , mainly because we didn't have enough judicial advocates to run them , but now we do," he comments.

Heffernan would prefer that "we have enough people running for office so that everyone can be elected and we won't have to appoint a n yone." Students are strongly

urged to try running for office and put to good use some of the things they have learned in political science classes. " After you really get into ASG, a political science background won 't really help that much , but it will give you a general working knowledge of government," he explains.

The new president points out that he does not intend to make the same mistakes as past presidents. One of these is getting involved in too many things at once.

"I think that if I get onto fewer committees I'll have more time for the students." As of now , he is a member only of the Accreditation Committee, which establishes the philosophy of the college and accredits how well things are working.

Concerning McFadden's resignation, Heffernan states, "I had no

inkling of it. It came as a total surprise ." He does think, however, that "it was unfair for her to blame the reasons for her resignation on the legislature."

Matinee and evening performances of "A Celebration to the Future" will officially open the new Educational Theatre tomorrow as the school showcases the new facility and college performing arts program.

The program will feature music, dance, drama and reader's theatre.

Robert Gilson and Billy Hawkins of the music faculty will direct the instrumental mu sic segment of "Celebration." A brass ensemble will perform Working Together, an original composition by Hawkins written especially for the theatre dedication. Gilson's chamber ensemble will present Vivaldi's L 'Estate and Th e Summer concerto from The Fou r Seasons.

Members of the nationallyacclaimed Palomar forensics team will present a reader's theatre selection, I Dearly Love a Coal Mining Man; directed by the team's coach, Ray Dahlin.

Dance students of the faculty members Dorothie Bleth and Mary Neuru will present a potpourri which will include The Winter concerto from Vivaldi's The Four Seasons; Aurora's Wedding Variation from Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty ballet, and modern dance presentations titled Whimsical Anatomy; Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy; Mannequin and Ramsey's Jazz.

New enroilment figures have been released by registrar Herman lee.

The official census shows 8210 day students, 6100 extended day students and 931 continuing education students, for a total of 15,241.

This figure discloses an official 7.1 percent jump from last fall and a 4 1/2 percent jump from last spring.

"There is still a major trend toward part-time students," states lee.

Editorials

ASG needs impetus

By Derace Orput Although student apathy has constituted a running battle between ASG and students for a number of years, it seems that salt has inevitably been poured on a widening wound.

Donna McFadden, ASG president for a rather short five months, has resigned her position because, of all things, lack of interest and cooperation from the legislature.

Lack of interest and cooperation? This group is supposed to be the core of the student body. They represent the students and dole out the money to the clubs and organizations.

And now here we are, being led by a

group of people who are so disinterested in their work that even their own president can't put up with them anymore.

That's not a very encouraging way to start the year.

It's also not a very good example to s_e t for first year students here. I've seen high schools with more involved student leaders. Maybe we should rename the ASG the DSG (Disassociated Student Government.)

I think someone should get their act together before they drive another student leader out of office. Maybe this latest resignation has lit a flame (even a small one would be nice) under R-3's immobile foundations. Isn't it too bad it had to happen after the fact.

Children's centers provide care, training

By Donna Roberts A tricycle and a low four wheeled cart block the opening of the gate, which separates the Child Development Lab and Child Care Center, both located on campus above student parking lot 12.

Nadine Abbott is the director of the Children's Center, and Margie Ruzich is the Director of the Child Development Lab School.

Sitting in her office located in the Staff Building, Ruzich explains , "We have a lab school for Palomar students. We're doing student teaching at the lab school with three and four year old children.

"The Child Care Center takes care of toddlers ages one and one and a half, and so on. It's a care center of students. You have to be a student to put your child in.

"The lab school is a training site for Palomar students who want to get a preschool teacher's certificate who do student teaching up there with three and four year old children; no ones, no twos, only with three and four year old kids and some of those kids' parents are students.

They can take their child up there for three hours while they take classes."

'It's a care center of students.

You have to be a student to put your child in.'

Lab hours work on a daily schedule.

The child may come in Monday, Wednesday and Friday, or Tuesday and Thursday. The child may come in every day if it is needed by the parent.

The lab is open at 8-10:30 a.m. If the parent is a student in class the child may stay untilll a.m. The same is true at 12 noon to 2:30p.m. If the parent is a student still in class the child may stay until 3 p.m.

The Child Development Lab is divided into two rooms, the three year old children are on the left and the four year

'We're doing student teaching at the lab school with three and four year old children.'

old children are on the right. Ronna Mahan and Vicki Hodge, Supervisors for the Child Development Field Study Program, are always present with the children.

For example, as the three year old children sit together and a Child Development 15 student is instructing them, a Supervisor is present overlooking the class.

The lab holds 30 children . The children are then divided into two groups of 15, depending on their age. After the child is in his or her proper classroom, the student has the opportunity to train children in what can almost be called a perfect atmosphere.

Along with the supervisors and student teachers who must take this course in

order to receive a certificate in Child Development, is Julie Lohmann. She is the Instuctional Aide II for the Child Development La b.

Children's rooms are carpeted and spacious and have friendly hamsters as tenants. The children listen attentively and then answer questions as their student teacher asks them questions from a storybook. It is up to the student teacher to plan all the activities in the morning or afternoon for the children.

Cost is $2 a day for students at Palomar and $3 a day for non-students .

Thoughts for the week If the insurance companies had seen our emergency evacuation, none of us could get an automobile policy.

*** Now that we have a new sidewalk at the East Entrance to keep pedestrians and bike riders out of the road, wouldn't it be great if the pedestrians and bike riders used it?

***

If students can't use the faculty restrooms, should the faculty use the student restrooms?

THE TELESCOPE

Although the Child Development Lab is for student teaching, and the growth of three and four year old children, and the Child Care Center is a vail able for the care of students' children , they each have the ¡ same goal, and that is providing the most proper care of the children that is possible five days a week.

DIXIE SOUNDS IN NEW THEATER

Concert features iazz

By Nancy Leman Dixieland music will be showcased Wednesday at 11 a.m. in the new theatre.

Instructor Billy Hawkins' Dixieland Jazz Band, formed in June of last year, performed on the Bahia Belle, a Mississippi riverboat in Mission Bay. "We played from 8:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. the entire summer, six nights a week. I also taught summer school at the time," reminisces Hawkins.

Series pits educators, taxpayers A lively forum between humanities educators and taxpayers' representatives is planned October 22 at 7:30p.m. in P-32.

Jointiy presented by the Faculty Association of California Community Colleges (FACCC) and the Endowment for the Humanities, the forum is one of five planned this fall throughout California to discuss the topic, "Education in the Humanities vs. the Revolt of the Taxpayers."

SELLING - Larry Martinez, Mary Vickland, Micki White and Mark Esquivel help out at the American Indian Organization sale held last Friday.

"The Belle had daytime activities, so we had to tear down all our equipment every night and take it home. We tried to find a place on the boat for storage and never did. When I look back on it now I wonder how I ever survived.~ Swing, Latin, light rock, and some country-western tunes were added as the group expanded their reper-

toire. People heard them play and asked them to perform at their weddings.

When Hawkins came ashore for the fall semester, a dixieland concert was requested by the faculty. "It kicked the year off pretty well for our Music Department.

"Most of the people in the band are perpetual students, not transferring anywhere. Our performing groups (the ensembles) can be taken an unlimited number of times for credit and they are taken by people who just want to play their instruments.

Hawkins doesn't anticipate any other dixieland concerts . He will be conducting and performing in a brass concert which is symphonic, concert type of music.

"I may go into the actual day of the concert without having prepared very much. I kind of like that idea because it makes it very, very spontaneous and that is the way jazz should be performed."

Hawkins met Jay Alperson, the group's clarinetist, during commencement exercises in the Dome.

"During the speeches Jay began playing a little dixieland jazz very softly. I passed him a note and asked if he would like to play in a dixieland jazz band and he said, 'great'.

The series is funded through a grant from the California Council for Humanities in Public Policy, and the anticipated end result is creation of public policies and public programs and participation by the communities themselves in these processes.

Coordinating the forum at Palomar is Mike Michaelson, professor of computer science at Palomar and the Palomar College representative to the FACCC. Michaelson, who will moderate the panel discussion, has been on the F ACCC board of governors for the past five years.

Panelists will be Dr. Paul Saltman, vice chancellor for academic affairs , UCSD; Dr. Omar H. Scheidt, superintendent and president of Palomar College and a founder of the FACCC; Art Danell, Escondido city council member; Newton Harrison, professor of art, USCD; Julie Hatoff, professor of English, MiraCosta College; and Ken Lounsbery, Escondido city manager.

According to Michaelson, the FACCC has been an effective lobbyist for the rights of the California community colleges and is a mobilizing force in the faculty senates acroBS the state.

The public is urged to attend and to participate in this important forum. There is no charge for admission. For further information, contact Michaelson at the Palomar Business Education Department, 744-1150 or 727-7529.

Feminists slate male workshop "Men! Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Feminism But Were Afraid to Ask" is a workshop to be offered Tuesday at 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. in the Women's Center, room R-1.

Men are encouraged to come to this workshop with a "different twist," which is being facilitated by Harry Brod, founding member of the San Diego Chapter of Men for E.R.A. Brod feels that through discussion of typical male reponses to the recent feministmovementmen may come to feel less threatened and more supportive towards women.

Mesa tops volleyballers; host Riverside Tigers

Binns, Reyna lead harriers Steve Binns and Soledad Reyna each placed first in their respective divisions as the Comets competed against MiraCosta, College of the Desert, and San Bernardino Valley College.

In winning the men's division, Binns completed the 3.9 mile course at Moonlight Beach in 18:51.5, just hanging on to defeat William Wang of San Bernardino. Binns said that he felt "good throughout the whole race" and was confident that he would win.

The Comets host Saddleback and San Diego City at Moonlight Beach today starting at 3 p.m.

Binn's effort was not enough though, as the men's team narrowly lost to Mira Costa, 25-30; but crushed College of the Desert, 17-44; and San Bernardino, 19-44.

"We didn't run quite as well as I expected and MiraCosta ran a little better," coach Doc Marrin commented. "I'm especially happy though with Steve Binns, he ran a great race." Other Comets in the top ten included Brian lgoe, sixth; John Tuttle, seventh; and Bob Short, ninth.

The hard-working women 's team led by Reyna scored an impressive victory over MiraCosta, 16-40, with Comets taking the top four places and sixth. The College of the Desert ran under forfeit conditions with only four runners.

Coach Mike Curren had his first five runners all within one minute of Reyna's time of 19:08 for the 3.2 mile course.

Mter watching Karen Grischuk, Marilyn Martin, Teri Smith and Mary Jo Mottino run powerful races, Curren commented: "I'm really pleased with the way we performed.

We've just been trying to get a base established and now we are going to work on speed."

"We played well , but still have to work on our mental toughness," commented Coach Teri McFarland after the Comets' volleyball squad dropped a tough match to national power Mesa, Arizona , Saturday.

Palomar hosts Riverside City College tonight at 7 p.m.

The Comets got off to a slow start in the first game and lost 15-3. They proceeded to battle Mesa before losing 15-9 in the second game.

Palomar returned to top form of a year ago as they came from behind for a 15-12 third game victory. Mter grabbing a 3-0 lead the netters fell behind 9-5 and appeared to be on their way down .

However, Palomar began a resurgence of their own when Sylvia Quirk and Sue Machamer went to work on the Mesa defense. Trailing 12-9, Machamer served the next five

Hockey team remains undefeated Powered by freshman Sue Alvarez's five goals, Coach Judy Sanders' field hockey squad blitzed Long Beach City College 10-0 September 25.

Palomar hosts Golden West today at 3 :30 p.m. The win upped their record to 2-0.

The locals didn't waste any time as they erupted for six points in the first half.

Second half action didn 't change matters for Long Beach as a highly dominating Palomar team added four more goals.

All the offensive punch was not to be over-shadowed by the defense which shut down their opponent's offense for the second game in a row.

Michele Lisi knocked in two goals while Pam Pedjoe, Barbara

Soccer squad evens record The Comets' soccer team played two tough games this past weekend in the Golden West tournament. In losing 4-3 to Golden West in a shootout; and 1-0 to Southwestern, the Comets entered the final week of pre-league play with a 1-1-1 record.

The Comets next game is at El Camino Wednesday at 7:30p.m. The team then opens Mission Conference play at home against Southwestern next Friday at 3 p.m.

In the Golden West game the score was tied at 2-2 when regulation time ended, so the game was decided by a shootout. This is similar to the National Soccer League where a player goes up against the goalie, one-on-one from 35 yards out.

Coach Chris Pagakis commented that this was the first time his team had been involved in a shootout.

"Still , I was real happy with our defensive play," he said.

points to win the game.

Game number four saw Palomar jump in front3-0, but Mesa ripped off eight straight points to seemingly put the locals out of the game. That was not to be the case, however, as they edged their way back climbing to within one point of the lead.

Mesa answered that with a rally of their own, scoring seven points to wrap up the match 15-7.

Quirk led Palomar in stuff blocks with three. "We got good defense fro m Sylvia (Quirk), Danna (Bytomski) and Cathy Vaughn," said Coach McFarland. She a lso felt that Joanne Kinghorn , along with Vaughn and Machamer had good passing games.

Last Friday Palomar opened conference play by defeating San Bernardino in three games 15-7, 15-8 and 15-12. Machamer led the team in kills with nine while Quirk added six.

Chamberlain and Sue Dodd tacked on one each finishing off Palomar's scoring arsenal.

On September 20 Coach Sanders made a successful coaching debut as her Comets defeated Mt. Sac 5-0.

Alvarez led all scorers with two goals, while teammates Dodd, Chamberlain and Kim Jensen added one apiece.

Mterwards, Sanders praised the defensive play of Missy Watkins and Marsha Graber.
