'Belgium' film airs next week "Belgium- Land of Two Peoples," a full-length color travel documentary, will be presented by community services at Palomar April17 at 1 and 3:30p.m. in P-32. The Kingdom of Belgium is a land of two peoples, the F1emish and the Walloons, each contributing their own distinctive culture and traditions to the nation as a whole. By living with both peoples in the cities and countryside, Kathleen Dusek has produced a sensitive film which deals with the diversities as well as the common ground of the two peoples. Although the nation is small with only 12,000 square miles, it is one of the most densely populated in Europe with more than 10,000,000 people. Tickets may be purchased at the door, $3 general and $2.50 for students and senior citizens. For more information on the travel films and other community service events, please call the Community Services Division, 744-1150 or 7277529, extension 2155.
James Smith Three Judicial Advocates (J.A.'s) were nominated, elected and sworn in during the March 16 meeting of theASG. Two of the JA's were elected by secret ballot, the third was elected by a show of hands after arriving late. ThenewJA'sareDavidManning, Jane Marshall and Terry Juker. Manning had been a J .A. last fall but resigned. Ar the same meeting JA Jon Gunning said, "If the new (Palomar) constitution is not ratified, then an illegal action had taken place." Gunning referred to action taken during the March 9 ASG meeting when the new constitution was put in effect with prior student ratification. This statment was not in the
minutes of the March 16 meeting as approved at the March 23 meeting, apparently because it was not made in the "Report of the Judicial Advocate." Gunning's formal letter of resignation was received at the March 23 meeting. JA David Manning then noted in his official report that "blantant, illegal lobbying" was taking place in the Student Union during constitutional elections. No specifics were given, except that the person lobbying continued after being asked to stop. JA Tracy Hightower's letter of resignation was also received at the March 23 meeting, leaving two JA positions open. Legislator Debbie Grottke was elected by a show of hands vote to the position of legislative chairper-

majority needed to win. Students interested in running for an office in the Associated Student Government should pick up their applications as soon as possible.

TV relay dish provides improved service for area By Chris Reynolds Students pass by it every day or park within yards ofitin the student parking lot on the west side of the campus. What is this huge grey dish with a hole in the center, decorated with a red lighting bolt? Erected during the Christmas break, it is the new head-end for the Los Angeles Times Mirror Cable Network. Ron Carso, head technician for T.M. cable, providedsomeinsightas to how it works and why Palomar College was chosen as the site. Based here primarily because of its central location, the "dish" collects television signals from T-M's antenna farm on Mt. Whitney and distributes them to San Marcos and the surrounding area. Improving service and reception, the Pay Cable Network hopes soon to provide viewers with 35 new stations. What benefits can the college hope to derive from such an arrangement? According to Ronald Page, director of television operations and productions, Palomar college had previously leased space on TimesMirror cable antenna farm on Mt. Whitney to broadcast educational television. Now, in exchange for free

air space, the college has provided the cable network with a site for its new television receiver. Page gives some additional information about how educational T.V. works. Broadcasting on campus educational T.V. uses a low power signal to block out stations when transmissions are duplicated on two channels, ie, channels seven and eight. When this occurs, educational T.V. is carried on channel seven. Programs in classroom settings, live or taped, some of which are produced here, provide classes from General Biology and College Algebra to Rhythmical Exercises and the World of Fashion. These programs do more than just further the knowledge of the general public, however. They provide a way for home-bound students to further their education, or even earn a college degree, through credit transfer classes. It enables them to register by phone, get books through the mail and requires they be present on campus for exams or special lectures. "This new television receiver provides a valuable community service. Higher education as well as better entertainment at a minimal cost to the college seems quite a bargain," said Page.
son, the spot recently vacated by vice-president Andy Wright ASG bill17 appropriated $3,000 to purchase a wide screen T.V. and make an access door to the Student Union for a proposed student lounge. The government hopes to convert the Learning Resource Center into a student lounge that will feature cable T.V. and four or five table top video games. The LRC which is in the Student government building will be moved to another site. In other action the ASG voted support for State legistative bill AB 1185. This bill states that California's 107 community colleges will charge tuition and calls for reappor¡tionment of $95 million.

Legislator Marina Huesias proposed a grant of $1,000 to charter a bus for an April 12 EOPS antituition rally in Sacramento, open to all Palomar students. ASG billll, proposed by Leonard Flagg, called for sectioning off the Student Union into smoking and non-smoking areas. This will be voted upon latter. $1,700 was delegated to an awards banquet committee trust fund. The committee is chaired by vice president Andy Wright. The awards banquet will honor scholarships winners, outstanding athletes, speech team members and faculty advisors.
