'Midsummer/Dream'

is first drama production Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," the first drama proaucnon for the 1982-1983 season, will be presented at the Palomar College Theatre.

Under · the direction of David Boyd, the play will be presented October 22, 23 and October 28, 29 and 30 at 7:30p.m. Matinees are also scheduled for Saturdays, October 23 and 30, at 2 p.m.

Perhaps one ofShakespeare's finest comedies oflove and romance, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" tells the story of star-crossed lovers, intriguing forest creatures, and country rustics, against a background of magic and adventure.

Library shows old postcards Spanning a period of 74 years, a unique display of postcards will be on display at the library October 18 through October 29. This collection is on loan from San Marcos resident Don Miller.

Miller, a long-time collector ·of stamps, recently acquired a collection of 700 postcards which date back to 1908 that had been saved by his mother and grandmother. Some of the early post-cards are made of rare cloth, some are beaded, embossed with gilt and otherwise adorned.

Cards dating through the 1920's and 1930's are of a scenic variety.

Mr. Miller has selected the most unusual and most interesting cards from his collection for this display.

New hours for the library are 7:30 a.m. - 8 p.m. on Monday - Thursday and 7:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. on Fridays.

The prime movers of the night's adventure are the king and queen of the fairies, Oberon and Titania, whose rivalry over a changeling brings forth much confusion and merriment of lovers seeking refuge in their forest and rustics preparing to entertain the royal wedding.

All is resolved happily in the end, and we are told it is but the "fierce vexation of a dream" but is it?

Tickets may be ordered in advance by calling the box office, 744-1156 from 2 to 5 p.m., Mondays through Fridays, or by mail with advance payment and a self-addressed, stamped envelope enclosed.

BOTTLE, CAN INITIATIVE

Writers air views on Proposition 11

By Bill Tharp

By Polly Filanc

With election time drawing near, we should take a long look at one of the initiatives that will appear on the ballot, especia lly initiative 11.

Waste is everyone's problem . Unless something is done to control waste, the problem will become worse.

Proposition 11, the Beverage and Container Initiative, is an attempt to clean up California's beaches, parks, roadsides, and towns . It would require a deposit of at least five cents on all beer and' soda containers to encourage consumers to return empty bottles and cans for refund rather than discard them as litter or municipal waste.

Unfortunately, the opposition has more money to campaign against the initiative.

Supermarkets have posted ¡s igns declaring "No on 11" to stress the impostion on their businesses and their distributors .

What is more important in the long run?

Corporate profits or the beauty and preservation of California's environment and natural resources?

Landfills have become a threat to the health and welfare of our communities . For example, last year an Oceanside elementary school was closed when a landfill nearby began leaking poisonous fumes .

According to an article in the San Diego Union and the California Ballot Pamphlet on Proposition 11, about 90 % of all bottles and cans could be recycled verses the present estimated 35 % of bottles and 60% cans recycled . This could eliminate tons of litter from areas mentioned above and slow down the overflowing growth of public landfills .

In theory, the cost of beer and soda should be lower if the consumer didn't have to pay to throw away the bottle or can but redeem it for cash or exchange . Other states have handled returnable containers by the case .

An initial deposit is paid, but the price of the contents is considerably lower than to buy a case of throwaways .

Not only are throwaway containers a waste, but the packaging of these bottles and cans is tossed into the heap. In several other states such as Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, and Minnesota, even though in some of these states there is no deposit law, manufacturers use durable cardboard to handle the retail-consumer transactions without contact to used bottles .

Not only could California's environment benefit, beer and soda drinker feel better not contributing to the waste, but new jobs, and industries specializing in glass recycling and manufacturing of special recycling equipment could be stimulated.

If passed, Proposition 11 is only a beginning of curtailing waste in our state . Paper and other metals could be recycled to help preserve the future of our precious natural resources.

So Californians, let's help stop the maiming of our beaches, mountains, deserts, parks, roadside, and municipal areas; and help reduce the waste of valuable glass and aluminum that is presently filling up our rapidly overflowing landfills.

Vote YES on Proposition 11, November 2, 1982 . It is your duty .

According to the election booklet, proposition 11 "requires that beverage containers sold, or offered for sale on or after March 1, 1984, have a refund value established by the distributor of not less than five cents ."

Proponents of the bill state that the bill "will clean up the ugly litter on the highways, would eliminate broken glass on our streets, roadsides and on our beaches which cause serious injuries and large doctor bills. This proposal will reduce the amount of trash and in turn would reduce the amount of dump sites .

"Litter increases the amount of taxes that are used for keeping our roads and parks clean, the amount of ta xes that are used for keeping our roads and parks clean . The amount of containers returned would increase. The increase would save our natural resources. More jobs would also become available."

Opponents of Proposition 11 claim the states that already have a beverage container law are not happy with it . The price of beverages in Oregon and Michigan has increased faster than the inflation rate .

The amount of water used in California would increase one billion gallons and would increase the amount of gasoline by 17 million gallons.

Storage of the containers would cause the stores to put the containers with the food, or force them to build a separate storage area, so food packages would not become contaminated with rats, roaches, and other harmful insects.

Proposition 11 will be harmful to organizations that collect the containers and sell them to recycling stations for charity.

This bill would force the consumer or the taxpayer to pay 20 % above the refund to cover the cost of handling the empty bottles and cans .

Both sides have valid arguments, but a person has to read between the lines to find the truth.

The object of the bill is good. However, there are two points that are not clear. The first is the storage of the containers, plus the amount of chemicals that would be needed for the control of the rats and roaches. What will the impact be on the environment? The second is the 20% . handling cost of the containers . There is no mention of just where it will come from . Will it be taxes or will it be added on to the price of the beverage, or both?

Health and the danger to the environment outweigh the other considerations so a "No" vote is recommended.

Help Center aids students

By Lorraine Davis Need legal or medical advice? Housing information? If so, the Student Help Center located in the Student Union area can help you.

"The center is here to accommodate students in any way and if we don't have it, we11 refer the student to someplace that can be of service," explained Mike Lecher, director of the Student Help Center . The Center is open from 9 a .m . to 1 p.m . Monday through Friday, with services ranging from bus schedules to car pooling and job opportunities .

In September and January a book swap is featured through the center enabling

students to get a good deal on needed books .

The center also has a referral service that lists on and off campus information related to counseling, clubs, organizations and many other services.

In previous years the center has offered a tutoring service, but due to budget cuts this service was dropped . A tutor referral service is now offered. Reduced funds also caused a reduction in the center's hours . Because of this, volunteers are needed to keep the center open longer.

College credits are available to volunteers through co-operative education . Anyone interested in volunteering a few hours of their time should stop by the center.

By Polly J. Filanc Future plans for Family and Consumer Sciences may be "iffy", but Margaret L. Gunther, Coordinator, is optimistic.

"I think we are going to grow in the vocational areas."

The program felt the bite from cutbacks in state funding as 17 sections were dropped from their fall semester program.

Some of the courses dropped were transferred to the Community Services division. Among those transfered were B e havioral Modification for the Overweight, Creative Stichery. Gourmet Cooking, Microwav e Cookery and Quilting.

Two new classes are being offered, Interior Design a nd Fashion M erchandising.

Loretta Grahm- Bunney teaches Interior Design. Off-campus study tours are planned "for the student to gain products knowledge ," Gunther said.

The other new class, Fashion M erchandising is being taught for the first time on Palomar's Educational Television, TV College,

by Nancy Galli. The program airs from 10 to 11 a .m . every Monday, Wednesday and Friday on cable channel 7.

Looking ahead, Gunther said, "We are considering a new program in restaurant management which will utilize many classes currently being taught. We are also thinking in terms of a clothing and textiles certificate."

Certificate programs offered are Interior Design, Fashion Merchandising, Fashion Design, Fashion Manufacturing, Institutional Foods, Regional Occupational Programs for Child Care, ROP Foods Service, and Family and Consumer Sciences which applies credits to four-year colleges.

"Enrollment is up in classes that remain," Gunther said. Close to 3,000 students are currently enrolled in the program. There are six fulltime and 13 hourly instructors. This

compares to 1974 when the program began. Then, about 80 students were enrolled and only one part-time instructor, Gunther, taught the five classes offered.

According to Gunther , the program has two goals. "One is vocational training; the other is training to improve the quality of life. Both goals are a ddressed in the Vocational Education Act. This Act provides funding to accomplish these goals."

From a grant given by the Department of Education, Office of Child Nutrition Services last year , Gunther and Judy Jroftgruben coauthored School Nutrition and Food Services Techniques for Children with Exceptional N eeds. The manual is distributed to all school districts and special education centers in the state.

Also , a kitchen was built at 362 Mulberry Street, San Marcos, facility for the ROP Food Service program that trains people for food preparation in schools, hospitals and convalescent homes. Senior citizens are served lunch there twice a week.

Footballers face top-ranked Saddleback Gauchos after victory over COD

Sanders--'Ref blew it'

By Radine Hayes Bringing their conference record to 1-0-1, the women's soccer team played to a 2-2 tie here against Orange Coast October 8.

The Comets will play Fullerton today at 3 p.m. here on the baseball field.

The tie was clouded by a controversial call by an official. The official ruled that a goal scored by Palomar's Suzy Jakovac should not be allowed, indicating that J akovac threw in the ball.

Palomar coach, Judy Sanders said, "The official made the difference in the game. The goal scored by J akovac was not a throwin and a penalty kick should not have been awarded to OCC because the infraction occurred outside the penalty box. I had that official redlined last year because he was not officiating well."

Bonnie Thornbury scored Palomar's first goal on a crossing pass from Lisa Chlebowski. Thornbury also scored the second goal and was assisted by Marci Barbosa.

Sanders added, "We didn't play well the first half, but we improved during the second half. We had good crosses and passed well, but the ball just didn't go into the net."

Pedretti On Sports

Comets travel to play undefeated

By Mike Pedretti Playing the third-ranked junior college football team in the nation, one would believe that head coach Mario Mendez would be a bit apprehensive.

But when the Comets travel to undefeated Saddleback College tomorrow for the Mission Conference opener, the attitude will be one of anticipation among the 2-2 Comets.

If they win, it will be one of the biggest upsets in Palomar history.

"We have to go up there with a good game plan and play 60 minutes of football," said Mendez. "We have a chance to play one of the best teams in the nation and I welcome the opportunity."

Saddleback features a superior defensive unit, leading the league with a 121 yard average, and a powerful ground attack, averaging 211 yards rushing a game.

The Comets completed their preseason with a 2-2 record after beating College of the Desert 23-21 October 9 in Palm Desert.

Quarterback John Peterson threw three second-halftouchdown passes after Palomar trailed 13-3 at halftime to lead the thrilling victory.

Peterson, a sophomore from Seattle, pulled the Comets to within 13-10 early in the third period when he found running back Joel Swartz on a 12-yard TD pass.

Six minutes later, Peterson gave Palomar an insurmountable lead when he spotted wide receiver Ron Lewis from 15 yards out, taking a 1713 lead.

The Comets added an insurance touchdown midway through the final period when Peterson, who passed for 230 yards on 17 of 28 passing, hit tight end Jim Heinen with a 14 yard score.

"Peterson played his usual good game," commented Mendez of his QB, who is the third-ranking passer in Palomar history.

Palomar opened the scoring on Rich Watkins' 32 yard field goal. But COD's Eddie Ramsey returned the ensuing kickoff98 yards to give the Roadrunners the lead.

With 10:09 to play in the second period, Peterson threw his lone interception and Greg Tucker ran it back for a 63 yard score.

Swartz recorded 203 total yards, rushing 24 times for 96 yards and catching five passes for 107.

"Joel has been playing his heart out the last two games," said Mendez of the San Pasqua! sophomore. "He's really been coming into his own lately and doing a fine job for us."

With 1:45 left in the contest and COD driving to the Comet 45, Mike Fayak, who had nine tackles in the match made a game saving interception on a long pass to preserve the exciting victory.

Lessman sparks volleyball wins

By Bill Wilson Following a loss to Santa Ana, the women's volleyball team rebounded to capture two league victories by defeating MiraCosta in straight sets 15-4, 15-11, 15-8 and stunning Saddleback 15-12, 15-13, 15-12.

Kelly Janikowski, star midblocker on the women's volleyball team, suffered a broken leg against Saddleback last week. She will be sidelined for the remainder of the 1982 season.

"I know we have a good chance of winning it (the championship). This league is so even we can only help ourselves.

We have to maintain the proper attitude."

When the San Diego Padres and the Atlanta Braves met two weekends ago in the season ending series, two familiar faces to longtime Palomar sports fans were viewed in their team's reserves.

Ex-Comet baseballers George Hinshaw of the Padres and Randy Johnson of the Braves were both summoned to play in the major leagues this season, making them the only present big league Palomar grads.

For the 22-year old Hinshaw, the promotion came a year early. After Ruppert Jones suffered an injury in August, Hinshaw was called up from double-A ball in Amarillo to play centerfield for Dick Williams.

The advancement was a gratifying suprise.

"When (Padre general manager) Jack McKeon called, my first reaction was that I had been traded.

Believe me, it came as a real shock. I had no idea."

"I'm very appreciative for the chance to play in the big leagues. It's a lot different than playing in the minors."

After a deceptive debut in San Francisco where he went 0-for three, Hinshaw rebounded to hit .321 in 23 at-bats. The Padres expressed praise for the youngster and it appears that Hinshaw's chances of making the team next spring are about 50-50.

"When I first got here I was real nervous and tight. Dick Williams told me just to relax, that there was no pressure. I told him that was going to be difficult and it was. It looked like I was trying to muscle everything. I'm over the jitters now and I just want to get out and show what I can do."

When the Giants beat the Dodgers to give the Braves the pennant, it meant a little more for the 23-year old Johnson. Atlanta had used little of the utility infielder in its run for the title and he did not see any action in the championship series against the Cardinals.

Johnson spent all but 10 days on Joe Torre's roster, but only played in a dozen games, mostly as a lateinning defensive substitute, hitting .239 in 49 at bats.

Kickers fit to be tied; host Mesa

Today's home game against San Diego Mesa will represent the halfway point for the Comets. From here on, it will be familiar teams at different sites. The same goes for the rest of the league. The Olympians bring in a talented team for the 3 p.m. contest. Mesa defeated Grossmont, the team that shutout Palomar a week ago.

Hankin favors a tie-breaker. "I would like to see a tie-breaker rule set up. It would bring back some tradition. Soccer has so much tradition, it was a shame it was broken. The fans would like the nostalgia that goes with deciding a game that ends up tied."

The tie jinx for Palomar began on September 29 with a 2-2 tie against Imperial Valley.

The officials awarded two goals to the Arabs, who were called for

offsides on both scores. The head official overruled the other members of the crew and let the scores stand at 3-3, instead of a 3-1 Comet lead.

Tie games followed the team into this month with a 2-2 tie against College of the Desert October 1 and a 2-2 deadlock with Southwestern October ,6.

Last week's game against Grossmont was a disappointing loss. With a lot at stake in the league standings, the Comets were shutout. It was even at halftime, but within a ten minute span, the Griffins scored two goals. This lapse brought up a disturbing habit of the Comets, giving the game away in the second half.

"We lack conditioning," said Hankin. "We have gone ahead in several games only to get hurt in the second half by slowing down."

The Comets also went ahead of Southwestern and Imperial Valley, but then let the opponents catch up and tie the game.

This could still become a good year for the Comets if several players continue to produce. The offensive standouts have been Roy Oftedahl and Tony Bramble. Defensive stars are John Barbosa, Jim Rutledge and Tim Rosia in the goal. Coach Hankin awarded overall excellent play to Juan Melesi and Leo Borges.
