Chronicles' debuts Bradbury masterpiece in world premiere

By Sandi Trevisan

"Mr. and Mrs. K had the fair, brownish skin of the true Martian, the yellow coin eyes, the soft musical voices" ...

Palomar's College Theatre is continuing its presentation of the world premiere stage adaptation of Ray Bradbury's masterwork of suspense, "The Martian Chronicles" tonight and tomorrow and April 4 through 7.

Utilizing the full resources of the stage, a large cast will feature a fastmoving cosmic glimpse of the colonization of Mars vividly brought to life through laser brilliance and stunning effects.

"The Martian Chronicles" has been a consistent best-seller since first appearing in 1950. The stage version retains the most intriguing and powerful features of the book. Act one covers the first four American expeditions to Mars extending from 1999 to 2001.

Each expedition has its own mystery, excitement, and events that range from wildly funny to terrifying. Act two deals with the settling of Mars by pioneers from earth and their eventual demise.

Hit and run injures campus patrol guard Campus Patrol guard Bruce Hartwell was slightly injured March 22 when a young man, angry about a parking citation, allegedly ran into him with his car, according to detective Charles Wagoner of the Vista sheriff's department.

Investigators are attempting to contact the registered owner of the 1979 Chevrolet which hit the guard, tossing him over the engine hood and onto the ground. The guard sustained a 10-inch scratch along his right forearm, plus some scrapes and bruises, said Wagoner.

Hartwell has filed a complaint and the charge is assalt with a deadly weapon, said Wagoner.

According the deputy who filed the report with the sheriff's department, Hartwell ticketed the car that morning and then returned to the security office.

Hartwell said a student appeared at the office about 10:55 a.m. angrily waving the ticket and threatening, "I'll fmd out where you live and you're dead, and your family's dead, too."

The man then left.

A few minutes later Hartwell went to his car to go home for the day, according to the report. Hartwell said the same angry man approached him again in the yellow two-door sedan and threatened to run him over. Then, without warning, the man accelerated and hit Hartwell, said Wagoner.

An unusual feature of the production is the musical score by Anthony Adams, performed on unique instruments created by famed musical pioneer, Harry Partch. The 15 instruments used in the score, now housed at the Institute for Harry Partch at San Diego State University, have a scale of 4S musical tones as compared to convential musical instruments' twelve. The complex and often eerie score will be heard through an impressive quadraphonic sound system in the theatre.

The highly technical aspects of "The Martian Chronicles" should fascinate audiences. Black lights, smoke, flashpots, and a glow in the dark environment are but afewspecialeffects. Costume design presents another technical challenge- a cast of 14 portrays more than 100 roles throughout the play, and costume changes must be as quick as 20 seconds at times.

Such challenges and changes include yellow eyes, melting faces, people changing form. Technical direction is under the skilled supervision of David Boyd; production management of Pat Larmer.

Director William Adams was given personal permission for his adaptation of the futuristic novel by Ray Bradbury. Adams is noted for his theatrical versatility. He has directed more than 500 productions including his own adaptation of John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath," first in London, then in America starring John Carradine.

A previous director of Starlight Musicals in San Diego, Adams is currently director of the Institute for Readers Theatre which publishes a theatrical magazine, a script service, and gives annual summer workshops in cities throughout the world.

Adams will direct a cast representing all areas of San Diego County, from Bonita to Oceanside. Members include: Buddy Ashbrook, Claudia Keithley, Charmayne Lauritzen, Christopher Lowry of Escondido; David Babicky of El Cajon; Fredric Brandt, Duane

Daniels, Dennis Dubis, Tom Erickson, Corky Lang, and Pat Olafson of San Diego; Sheila Browder of Bonita; John Douglas, Devin Mann of Oceanside; and children Jason Anthony and Chris and Shawna Lynch of Escondido.

Performance dates for this worldpremiere are tonight and tomorrow and April4,5,6 and 7 at 7:30p.m. with matinees at 2 p.m. on April 1 and 2.

Ticket prices for all performances are $6 general and $5 seniors and students with the exception of April 7.

A very special "Gala Night" is slated for April 7 and will include dinner at the Camelot Inn, admission to the evening performance and a question/ answer forum with the world's greatest science-fiction writer Ray Bradbury himself.

Following the Palomar production, "The Martian Chronicles" company will travel to Palos Verdes for the "Big Showcase," a performance slated toward motion picture producers, theatre directors, and an elite celebrity audience. An eventual national tour is in the works as well.

For ticket reservations or further information, call the Box Office at 7441156, weekdays between 2 and 5 p.m.

Yugoslavia film pierces iron curtain Yugoslavia, a rare motion picture film that pierces the communist curtain, will be presented by Community Services AprilS, at 1 p.m. and 3:30p.m. in room P-32 on campus.

The film will be presented in person by producer Gene Wiancko, who gathered information through five trips during the past several years.

Wiancko managed to bring unique film footage through the communist curtain without "guidance" or censorship from the Yugoslav authorities. It is a film that tells the story of the lands and the peoples and their way of life, and reaches for the meaning and significance below the surface.

Covering the area from Slovenia in the north to the southern wilds of Macedonia, Wiancko pictures Yugoslavia as a whirlpool of strangely different races and religions, a jig-saw puzzle of the storybook lands of Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia, and Montenegro.

It is the only communist satellite that frequently repudiates the principles of Marxism and sometimes swings close to the orbit of democracy.

One of the highlights of the presentation will be a personal film-interview with dictator Tito which was made just two hours before he rose to denounce Russia during political crisis.

In achieving authenticity, Wiancko wanted to photograph the native people and their strange ways of life without alerting them to the fact that they were being photographed.This obstacle was eased, surprisingly, by the fact that most did not know a motion picture camera when they saw one.

Tickets may be purchased at the door, $3 general and $2.50 students and senior citizens. For more information, call Community Services at 7441150 or 727-7529, Ext. 2153.

CONTEST DRAWS CROWD

Breakdancing erupts

By Polly Filanc Amidst the jammed-packed Student Union last week, hundreds of fascinated and curious onlookers took a break from academic routines to witness Palomar's first breakdancing contest.

Sponsored by the Associated Student Government, the "open" contest attracted 23 contestants from various walks of life - professionals, college students, high schoolers and grade schoolers.

These daredevils of the dance amazed the audience with their hairraising routines including back flips, whorly spins, head spins, baby knee kicks, centipedes and other death defying maneuvers.

Some contestants were identified by such colorful "street" names as "Mohawk", "Angelo" and "T.C.," while others were associated with crews called "North County Supreme Team" and "Sonic Boys."

'Grammar War' conference sparks mixed reactions

By Patti Brown "Fantastic," "Wonderful day" and "Mixed feelings" describe the reactions of three Palomar teachers, Mark Edelstein, Bill Salomone and Dick Peacock, respectively, to the National State of the Language Conference they recently attended in San Diego.

The eight hour symposium, entitled ''The War Over Grammar" was hosted by the City Club, a public affairs forum, and attended by over 300 teachers, newspaper people and club members.

The four main speakers were John Simon, drama critic for New York Magazine, film critic and author; Geoffrey Nun berg, professor of theoretical liilguistics at Stanford University and author of the recent Atlantic Monthly article "The Grammar Wars;" Harold Evans, former editor of the London Times and author of"Good Times, Bad Times," and Richard Mitchell, founder and publisher of the Underground Grammarian.

Edelstein, who normally"hates conferences" praised all four men as "excellent speakers," but indicated that Mitchell was especially effective, speaking without a text for an hour and a half.

Strutting away with the sole top prize of $100 and a radio/ cassette recorder, (a light, compact "survival machine"), was Tsutomica Carter, alias "T.C.", who breakdances professionally with the West Coast Ground Crew.

Salomone, also an English teacher, further described Mitchell, clearly the audience and press favorite, as the "epitome of the absent-minded professor" in appearance and actions, even to tripping on the dais.

While spectators strained their necks and some stood on tables to get a glimpse of America's "hottest dance craze since the twist," they got more than expected.

Peacock, a cinema teacher, felt that Mitchell's strongest point was that "he continually brought language down to its very human base and saw language as the most important link we have with the past."

One you~ man, appropriately named "JackStripper,"who claimed he is a stripper from Chippendales, jumped into the arena and stripped down to a "G-string."

Edelstein felt that Mitchell took a "different tack" from the other speakers; "his inspiring talk on teaching and the function of language" emphasized that language is essential for much more than the simple possibilities of communication.

Salomone described the example Mitchell used when he compared communication to the directions for a swing set. While one may be able to assemble the set using the directions, he will never lay awake at night pondering the words or their significance.

According to ASG president Leonard Flagg, coordinater of the contest "He was not part of the show." Flagg'~ main concern was to get the "stripper" off the floor.

Another unexpected occurence came when a table collapsed under the weight of several spectators.

On a scale of one to ten, contestants were judged for their originality, costume, crowd control, execution (ground moves), and freestyle.

Judging the event were professionals Michael Angelo, of the Escondido Time Machine, Louis Taverna, DJ at the Vista Entertainment Center and Frank Tisbee, Tony Hodges and Willie Carroll of the West Coast Ground Crew.

According to the announcer "Dr. Rock" of BU Productions who provided the music, the most requested song was "Beat Box" from the album "Art of Noise."

Because the contest was "open", it attracted both professionals and amateurs. Flagg and Brown both agreed that if the ASG should sponsor another contest, "We will have different categories, depending on professionalism and age."

Flagg pointed out that the youngest breaker was nine years old.

Since breakdancing has become so popular, the ASG plans to feature breakdancers during the Mayfair fashion show, as they did during Comet Week last Fall.

Flagg added the main reason for the contest was to "get students involved and to have a nice time."

One observer, Lisa Telles, was amazed. "I have never seen it live before. I don't know how they do it."

Another, Sandra Ianni ,felt breakdancing is a "unique art form of soul dancing." Sammy Qadbourah, on the other hand, considered the event, "Not too bad, but not as good as TV."

Degree deadline nears Applications for certificates and the Associates in Arts degrees for the spring, 1984 semester must be submitted to the Records Office by April13.

Forms are available at the Records Office.

According to Edelstein, the conference justified the position he has held "for a long time ... that the quality of language has to be guarded very carefully." He believes that the "general sloppiness of our culture has had a negative effect on our language" and that "words have precise meanings and must be used precisely."

Salomone also agrees with Mitchell's position that "language can deteriorate and can cause values to deteriorate." While he found all the speakers "very entertaining, witty and stimulat-

ing," Salomone's own position closely follows that of Mitchell's, although he doesn't feel as strongly about the issues as did the speaker. He agreed that making distinctions between words such as "uninterested" and "disinterested" are important and "worth preserving."

As a teacher, Salomone tries to "get students to look at language carefully."

He feels his job is to "make students very sensitive to language." Salomone believes that "our simplistic culture" makes us reach out too quickly for answers, instead of having the patience for "the long, contemplative process" involved in reading, for example.

The other speakers, especially Nunberg, took a "slightly moderated" approach, according to Edelstein. While both Nunberg and Evans felt that language does reflect values, added Salomone, they thought that worrying about distinctions between words amounted to nit-picking.

Although Peacock stated that in "the academic sense" he agrees with Nunberg, he admitted that "in spirit and juices" he goes along with Mitchell's hard line approach.

While Salomone commented that he was "put off" by Simon's "hypercritical and defensive" attitude, Peacock found Simon "basically silly," a "professional tour lecturer" whose set speech was "very stale, very old, very elitist and sometimes even racist."

On the other hand, according to Peacock, Mitchell was "very different."

"Mitchell," he pointed out, "was interested in life, while Simon was interested in Simon." Peacock, currently fmishing his second book, admitted that his differences of opinion between the two speakers "may be all a matter of style, but style is so important and is a good deal of what language is all about."

Peacock characterized Evans as "a rather delightful Englishman who had a practical and healthy respect for the power of the written word."

Peacock's philosophy includes his belief that some English classes, especially on the high school level, present the study of the language as a "problem,"which then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. He likes to approach language as something "to appreciate and to refme what we already have, rather than see it as a problem to be solved."

While all three instructors enjoyed the symposium, Mitchell's remarks seemed to have made the greatest impact.

Perhaps it is because, they, too, share a characteristic with Mitchell, which Peacock identified as a "genuine love of the language and love of the passion that motivates people to investigate the meanings of language."

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH--What is your opinion of censorship on cable T.V.?

Totale Kim Bounds: If the "R" rated material is going to be shown, both sexes should be exploited equally, or not at all. This (exploitation of women in films) is just another example of how few women are involved in the making of films.

Richard Stempien: I guess you could say: A person's body is sacred.

Sex does not belong on T.V. The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) should definitely do more to restrict the use of sex on T.V.

Kelly Borg: Well, where do you draw the line? If you censor that, you have to censor everything, and who decides what is wrong?

Cruz Gallegos: Personally I don't believe there is anything wrong with viewing the human body in all its splendor. We can't constitutionally prohibit the right to view that on T.V.

Lisa Albright: If people don't want it, they don't have to get that channel. What's the big deal? They can see it in public theaters, so why not in the privacy of their own homes.

Rookie DJ tunes in on radio career

By Melanie Anderson Russ T. Nailz, Steve West, Bill Balance, Lohman and Barkley, Steve Sandy, Charlie and Harrigan .. .

Oh, those wonderful and mysterious disc jockeys we admire so much, but know so little about. Every day over the airwaves we expect to feel their exuberance and hear their voices. We would be surprised if we didn't.

An occupation to which the public is ever so faithful, radio brings to mind that humorous and all-knowing voice we have come to depend on. They bring their personalities into our homes, but what do we know behind their voices?

Here to enlighten us a little on what it takes to be a deejay is Cody Berry, a rookie deejay for KSM. His first semester on the air, Berry hosts his own show from 3-6 p.m. every Friday. He is also a news announcer on KSM from 3-5 every Monday.

Exhibiting that enthusiasm and optimism needed for his job, sparkling energy radiates from Berry as he describes himself in the deejay role.

"The basic thing in being a deejay is communicatmg with the people. It's not really the music, and it's not you as an individual. But it is letting the format, or what y.ou play, speak for you.

"The audience is not interested in you trying to be funny or cute. They are interested in you telling them what they need to know and playing the music they want to hear."

Although Berry was originally interested in television, the Telecommunications Department steered him towards radio in his second year at Palomar.

"I first became interested in radio after my first rookie show in TC-22, a radio production class. I found out what was involved in radio and I liked it, even though my first show was so disastrous. Radio is the best place to get your foot in the door."

Rookie shows consist of hour long shifts where the beginners take over the airwaves from veterans.

Knowledge of production skills, radio equipment, communications, and audition tapes landed Berry his single show. He was one of the eight people who made it from his TC-22 class, and

that makes him "one of the lucky ones" he says.

So then he became a "rookie", and his "horror" stories abound. Extremely nervous during his first hours on the air, he says,"Trying to think of something to say and working the equipment at the same time was really difficult."

Not only were the wrong songs announced at times, but others were also played twice in a row. Other times the same artist was played twice back to back And he stuttered. After awhile, though, he says,"You learn to speak to the microphone and to think of it as one person-instead of 10,000."

Decisions on what music to get ready, what carts to pull, what songs to cue, and what commercials to play, plague a deejay doing a live show. Preparing the format and staying ahead of the game keeps a disc jockey on his toes. ''You're never there sitting and listening to the music, thinking 'OK, this is great', or 'this is a good song'. You're basically never resting."

"Being on radio is not really spontaneous. I have to think of what I'm going to say. I try to think of different things that might be interesting, or of interesting things that happened to me that I can tell my audience."

The basis of college radio, Berry explains, is to introduce the new artists and the new progressive type of music that is coming out.

"We try to educate people about the new music. That's our job," Berry says.

The format, he describes, is "one step further than 91X." "I think that here at KSM, we really do educate the audience as far as what we do with music and the news."

Palomar's radio station speaks for itself, however, as 61 former KSM deejays have gone directly into the professional field.

Although Berry hopes "to be one of them one day", his eyes are now set on UCLA, where he hopes to transfer.

Bill Balance, a KFMB radio personality and former disc jockey, is one person who has impressed Berry with his "eloquence and vocabulary."

The last laugh, though, may be on us.

"To tell the truth," Berry admits,"! really don't listen to radio."

SPORTS Students tri-athalon just for fun

By Bob Cameron Swimming and running. Do you enjoy these activities and participate in any of them for either recreation or fitness?

If so, you might want to join a group of students attending a new and relatively unknown class on campus called Triathalon.

Don't be alarmed. Wander out by the pool any Monday, Wednesday or Friday at 8 p.m. and you'll find that these students are neither superhuman nor masochists. They are athletes interested in learning to compete in this fast-growing and largely misunderstood sport.

Led by coach Jon Cnossen, this class focuses on equipment, training and, most of all, fun.

"The triathalon and the athletes who compete in them, have for the most part, been given a false image," said Cnossen. "Thanks to ABC's coverage of a few major events, this sport intimidates any people who might fmd it to be challenging, as well as a lot of fun. ''The images of an athlete collapsing unconscious at the fmish line is great drama, you know, the 'Agony of Defeat', but it's not what the sport is all about. ''The triathalon began about six years ago," said Cnossen. It seems some athletes in Hawaii were tired of just swimming, biking or running. They wanted something new. They were also constantly arguing over which sport produced the best athletes. So they combined all three events, each at an ultra-distance, and the'lron Man' was born."

The 'Iron Man' is the ultimate Triathalon. It combines a 2.4 mile ocean swim, a 112 mile bicycle trek, and a full marathon run of 26.2 miles. The athletes' only break between events is to change clothes and some of them don't even do this.

"You must realize that when I talk about triathalons I'm talking of a minitriathalon," said Cnossen. "Each mini varies from event to event, but it is usually around a mile swim, a 10 to 25 mile bike and a 6 mile run.

"Of course, mini's are still strenuous and conditioning is essential, but I believe it's important to have fun while your doing it. We're not out there to kill ourselves.

"I've found that there are four different types oftriathalon competitors: the top competitors, those who push to do the best they can, the finishers, and the recreationists. ''The top competitors are in top physical condition and they are there to win. The next type of competitors race against their own time.They are there to progress and one day to possibly win. ''Then there are the fmishers who want to do just that. Believe me it's a thrill and an accomplishment to have finished a triathalon.

"Recreationists may or may not fmish. They might be there for an umber of reasons. Either for the exercise, to meet people or to enjoy the party at the fmish line. Triathalons are always celebrated afterwards.

"When the semester began we figured we'd work for the Carlsbad triathalon that will be held in early summer, but we're all in much better shape than we thought so we're going for one next month at San Felipe on April14. ''That will be a one mile swim, 25 mile bike ride and a 6.2 mile run. It'll be a good experience for all of us.

"I hope to start holding this class every semester. I believe it will one day become an Olympic event. Maybe when athletes realize the potentials to excel in such a new sport it will give them the incentive to work and become the best.

"But you don't have to win to enjoy a triathalon. Finishing is an achievment shared by the first and last person across the line. It's rewarding to know that you are in better condition physically and mentally than most people.

That's what triathalons are all about."
