Poet appears in theatre Ric Masten, one of the few poet performers who carries on the oral tradition in America, will appear in concert at 7:30p.m., April 29 in the Palomar College Theatre. Although he has eight books of poetry to his credit (Stark Naked The Voice of the Hive, among them)' Masten's is primarily written to b~ heard "live", either spoken or sung. In fact, he says his favorite audience is made up of people who would normally regard an hour with a poet as "cruel and unusual ~anishment." Since 1968 Masten has traveled across the country giving readings, concerts and workshops in hun-
dreds of colleges, churches, prisons and hospitals. He's been called a "roving humorist", a "street philosopher," a "stand-up poet" and likened to such notables as Will Rogers, Ogden Nash and Pete Seeger. Masten's poems, stories and songs speak to the human condition the loneliness and the joy that eveeyone shares in common. General admission is $3.50 and $3 for senior citzens and students. Advance tickets can be ordered by calling the box office at 744-1156 from 2 to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.

KSM radio machine stolen KSM-99, Palomar's cable FM radio station, may be forced to shut down, due to recent thefts, "If it reaches that point " said program director Tre~t Rivera, "we'll close down the station." A monaural record/playback cart machine, valued at around $600 and a bulk tape eraser were discovered missing Sunday morning by Jim Henkel. Rivera and telecommunications instructor Russ Jackson were notified of the theft Monday morning. "It is obviously an inside job," Rivera noted, ''because it is of no use for a home stereo. We think someone may be trying to set up their own home studio." The sheriff's department has been notified and is investigating.
applications, available through the admissions office after May 1. Upon receipt of the returned application or "intent to register" card, the admissions office will ciistribute an appointment card with the scheduled registration date and time. Outside North County, applications and "intent to register" cards may be sent to Palomar College, 1140 West Mission, San Marcos, CA., 92069-1487, Attention: Admissions/Registration. Include a selfaddressed stamped envelope and an appointment card will be mailed. In order to . better accommodate the new changes, the admissions and records office will split. The student records office will remain at its present location while admissions receives a new title and location. The new student admissions and registration center will be located in the old library's east side, OL-5. Registration for school, add and drop cards, information, and transcript requests will all be handled by the new center. Evaluations for graduation, certificates and transcripts will take place in the current records office. Office hours for both buildings are 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and Friday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Registrar Herman Lee feels this new arrangement "will double office space, provide a larger reception area for students, and, because we will hold registration in the same building, we won't have to move computer equipment." Centered around these new changes is the new computerized system that features the use of computer terminals tied on-line to the new Hewlett Packard 3000 computer. Students will have immediate know ledge of open or closed classes, and will receive a computer printed copy of their registration. This should reduce past registration problems, such as students not knowing if they are officially enrolled until the instructor reads the class roster. The new computer will also compute the required student fees and place students on a waiting list if a class is closed. Also new this semester will be the use of Social Security numbers as student identification numbers. It is hoped this plan will reduce clerical costs and increase efficiency. Summer session class schedules are now available on campus or at the public libraries throughout the Palomar district. Summer registration is scheduled for June 7 through 10. For more information, contact the Admissions Office at 744-1150 or 727-7529, extension 2160.
ASG will hold May elections With the Associated Student Government elections May 9, 10 and 11, prospective candidates need signatures to qualify for office. According to ASG president Jeff Urry, if the prospective candidates do not get the required number of signatures, they will not be able to run for their respective offices. Urry said that the ASG election code does not allow for write-in candidates. "It (write-in policy) is unfair to the students who go out and get the signatures."
