Mission Road construction will finally start By Bill Tharp
board has released to the State College Chancellor's office $219,000. This means that as soon as we are billed from San Marcos we will be able to bill the state and have the money transferred down here. "The big question is; because of the state's financial problems, will they reach down and pull that capitol back? This has happened to us twice before. I have been working on this for the' last five years and this is as close as we have gotten," said Dr. Scheidt. Another campus bottleneck which has plagued the campus for years, the lack of access roads, may also be solved soon. Dr. Scheidt indicated that,"long range planning to move traffic off campus in case of an emergency is close to finality . We have
may be the work being done at this time.
After five years of red tape and negotiations Mission Road will finally be widened . Dr. Omar Scheidt, president of Palomar College and District Superintendent said," It looks like we will see the start of construction on Mission Road. " Bids went out in December and are to be opened January 26 . "If the bids are acceptable, work should start in the next 30 days. I hope it misses the opening of the spring Semester," said Dr. Scheidt. The first work that will be done will be placing of the utilities under ground, which
Reading from a letter sent by the engineer of San Marcos to property owners, Dr. Scheidt said,"San Marcos indicated that access to Palomar must be maintained at all times . Coordination of all exits and entrances, closures and detours must be included in the traffic plans by the contractor. This will help to insure students access to the college. Of course", said Dr. Scheidt," Due to construction the students will have to allow 15 more minutes to arrive on time at their classes. We are as close to having the work done as we have ever been.

Film series shows lavish English life Palomar College continues its Community Services' travel film series January 30 at 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. in room P-32. Howdee Meyers and Lucia Perrigo present "Come to the Castle," taking audiences inside incredibly lavish palaces, inviting them to revel in the glories and stories of the Stately Homes of England. Threatened by death taxes and the death beetle eating away miles of timber, these 400 year old castles were headed for extinction until enterprising noblemen abandoned their privacy and invited the paying public to become partners in a great adventure, a great achievement, the saving of English history and heritage for a whole world. "It's their remarkable story we have caught with camera," observes Meyers. "One Stately Home hero was the ingenious Duke of Bedford, inheritor of once derelict Woburn Abbey. Another is the Marquess of the Coronet Circuit. His home, Longleat, is a 400 year old gem that still gleams. A third is Lord Montagu of Beaulieu." The Meyers' camera reveals that beneath every coronet of a successful Stately Home is a hardheaded businessman, such as the Marquess of Bath, who rescued Longleat by turning 800 acres of parkland into England's first safari park. Tickets may be purchased at the door $3 general and $2.50 for students and senior citizens.

Los Posa projected entrances into lot 12. I am working with the city to put at least a dirt road for a temporary entrance and exit from the college. As the college grows this could be widened to be able to carry more traffic. "A nother entrance that is planned is from Twin Oaks on what is now Borden Road . This would enter the campus just behind where the ski slope is . "There is a plan in thedevelopement stage that is almost finished which would divide the perimeter road in half . Then we could get" a sheriff near the midway point directing traffic both ways on the road. With people at the exit directing traffic we should be able to clear students off campus much faster with les s wear and tear on the nerves ."

dent duplicated actual works of art or rendered free interpretations of a former style. The art objects in the show range from paintings , drawings , and sculpture, to crafts objects. Many of the history students are not art majors. It is the first time for some to get involved in , the art process- to go through the pains of creating something and to thoroughly explore a medium. The display is an excellent look at the history of man through his art. The Palomar art class participating in the show is Rita White's Art History 20.

To cut the rising cost of books the Student Help Center will sponsor a student book swap January 24 until February 25 from 9a.m.to 1:30 p.m. Monday thru Friday and 5 p.m.7 p.m. Monday and Tuesday nights. During the month of the book swap, students may bring their books to the center to be sold at what ever price the student sets. The sooner the books are brought in, the better the chance that they will be sold. However no books will be taken until January 24. Students may check with the center to see if their books have been sold and collect any money due them one week after turning the books in. A $1 service charge will be collected on each book sold. This service charge goes to the students that help in the center throughout the year. All transactions will be final February 25. Any unsold books that are not collected by their owners will be donated to various organizations. Questions concerning the book swap can be answered in the Student Help Center located next to the Student Union.
Free doctor will be available Is there a doctor in the house? Yes. Through the efforts of ASG President Jeff Urry and Palomar's Governing Board, a medical doctor will be available to students free of charge in the Health Services building starting March 1, 1983. The doctor can be seen by appointment three days a week when school is in session. A student must present his yellow registration sheet and have paid a health fee at the beginning of the semester. This service is provided at no charge except for lab processing costs. Some medications will be available at no cost to students.

Boosters for tetanus and diptheria and screening tests for pregna ncy, mononucleosis, vision, hearing, and blood pressure are among other services available. A registered nurse is ready to assist any student Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. until10:1 5 p.m. and on Saturday from 9 a.m. until12 p.m.
its existing shelving, the logistics of the move were more complicated. "It wasn't as easy as moving books from one shelf to another," says library director Alexis Ciurczak. "Using our present shelving made moving the collection a multi-step procedure. Books, periodicals and assorted audio visual media had to be packed, and stored while shelves were disassembled, moved to the new library and reassembled. Then, and only then, could the close to a quarter million items be placed back on the shelves." Senior Library Technician Ann Steffens likens the logistics of the move to planning the invasion of Normandy in World War Two. ' I think I know how Ike must have felt on the even of the invasion.' With careful planning, the library staff has provided the following schedule during the remainder of the moving process. Students and community members should. note that although areas of the library will be open for study, microfilm use and photocopying, the majority of the library's book and periodical collection will be available until the new library opens. The library's reference collection and instructor reserve section will be available on an "on call" basis. Books may be returned to the Periodicals Room or exterior book drops located near library entrances. Learning Resources Center hours will remain the same (MondayFriday, 8 a.m.-12 noon, 1 p.m.-4 p.m.). A list of local libraries with addresses and hours of operation is available at library public service desks. During the move to the new library, January 18-27, the main reading room will be open MondayThursday from 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m. and Friday 7:30 a.m.-4 p.m .. For more information, call the library 744-1150, ext. 2614.
