Hubbard, Aguilar selected as new ASG legislators Two new ASG legisl ators were elected during the February 20 and 27 meetings. Blake Hubbard and Chri s Aguilar were selected to fi ll vacan cies created by the resignations of Th eresa Mills and Neil P edersen. A new ASG card policy is under investigation by the legislature which would make ASG cards mandatory. It h as been estimated that the ASG would receive approximately $60.000 from these sales, thereby providing und e r -f und ed orga niz ations more mon ey. Passage of the n ew policy would require the purchase of on e more I.D. cam era and possibly paid volunteers to help with card sales. ASG m ay be required by the governing board to give up the bookstore income in order to require student cards. All interested students are invited to attend the March 19 ASGmeetingto present suggestions on this matter. Another item on the agenda was the lack of street signs leading students to Palomar.

portantly through the spirit of vitality I try to incorporate in the piece. Furniture has through its function a unique quality as an art form , since one touches and feels the object as well as sees it, Therefore, a greater sense relationship occurs than is usually the case for pure

Hunter considers his furniture to be functional sculpture. " All pieces have a use , this is carefully considered as part of the design. It is called sculpture because each piece is a statement which hopefully has significant form. The furniture enriches the user through the visual senses as well as the functional uses," Hunter says . "My clocks for example are kinetic sculptures which also tell time. They are designed to expose the workings of a time piece, making it a significant visual kinetic experience." Contemporary construction techniques are used in Hunter's work; stack and bend laminations, grinders and other power tools .
