Technicality disqualifies Kim Scanlan

By Anne Husk Kim Scanlan has been disqualified from her position as Associated Student Government president due to a technicality in the ASG constitution. Whether or not the disqualification will hold up appears to be the question.

In October oflast year a policy concerning the logging of office hours was brought up at a weekly board meeting. It was announced that all ASG officials were required to log into a book their total hours spent in the ASG offices. A minimum of three is required each week According to chief judicial advocate Andres Leon, a system was set up in which first an oral warning was issued to anyone who did not record their weekly hours.

Secondly a written warning was issued and if there was a third offense disqualification resulted. Under this policy Leon disqualified Scanlan.

Leon says, "We have been working with this policy for a long time. We accepted the policy. (Others) have received oral and

ASG president protests decision official written warnings."

Scanlan claims the policy was never adopted into the constitution and is therefore not legal. She says, "I'm not acknowledging the disqualification." However, vice-president Elizabeth Gambrel has been chairing the ASG board meetings and taking over the president's officials duties until the legalities are untangled.

In an attempt to encourage the ASG board to sort through the matter themselves, Dr. George Boggs, president/ superintendent of the college, addressed them on Wednesday, April9. He stressed he was only offering opinions and recommendations on his interpretation of the constitution and the situation.

He said, "The constitution is clear in its intent about office hours." What was not clear, he added, was cause for disqualification. He said the way the Scanlan matter was handled was "questionable and inappropriate."

Volume 39 No. 17

He stressed that disqualification of an individual should have come from the legislative body of the ASG and not from the judicial branch and that in a democratic body the judicial branch is reserved for appeal. He noted, "You need to provide a way for somebody to appeal a decision."

Gambrel, who considers herself "acting president," said that the policy was never voted on by the senators and "doesn't say that you have to write (the hours) down."

She also said no one else has ever been disqualified for unrecorded office hours.

Concerning the legality of the policy she noted, "All legislation has to be signed by the (ASG) president."

Said Scanlan, "Due to assumptions and misunderstandings the disqualification needs to be looked at more carefully. Andres takes his job very seriously. He was given a power we never meant for one person to have. ''We are trying to adopt a new two-page

A Publication for the Associated Students

policy to be implemented by an office hours committee. We have taken something that was very vague and put it into writing."

Leon does not see the policy as vague.

He points out that many policies are implemented without having been signed into the ASG constitution and that minutes from a number of this year's board meetings contain reminders about this policy. He says, ''The judicials have been following the constitution, the minutes and the due process (warning) letters."

It does not appear that anyone has questioned Scanlan's commitment to her office or the amount of time she spends in the ASG offices. Leon admits that, "Kim has done a wonderful job. Everyone knows that. It's too bad that this is happening. We are working on solving the problem."

That solution apparently needs to come from the ASG senators who have been handed the task of sorting through the dissenting opinions. A fmal decision was supposed to be made at the ASG board meeting April16.

Club's 'World Peace' display in library

By Paulette Oberle

"World Peace - the Choice is Ours" is the theme of the April library display sponsored by the Baha'i Club of Palomar College.

The display coincides with the United Nations declaring 1986 "The Year of Peace" and also the issuing of a peace plan "to the peoples of the world" by the Universal House of Justice, the supreme governing body of the Baha'i faith.

The Baha'i Club has assembled books, illustrations, photos and copies of the peace plan on the library's second floor.

Inside:

"The Promise of World Peace" is the 39 page Baha'i peace plan. It has been submitted to the United Nations, President Ronald Reagan and 70 heads of state. "The basic thrust of the plan is that peace is achievable. The world can, if it chooses, have peace and the alternative to that is unthinkable," notes Jerry Boisclair, technical advisor for the display.

According to Boisclair, "the main ideals of the Baha'i faith are a belief in unity, one peace, all people are the same and harmony of diverse groups."

The religion was founded in 1844 by Persian nobleman Baha'u'lla. He claimed to be a prophet and the latest.

in a succession of messengers from God, along with Jesus and Buddha.

After being imprisoned in his homeland, he was exiled into Bagdad, Constantinople and finally Israel.

The world headquarters of the Baha'i faith is on Mount Carmel in Haifa, Israel. Several million people throughout the world follow the Baha'i faith, says Boisclair.

The Baha'i Club meets Tuesday afternoons in various locations on campus. The purpose of the club is to make the student body and faculty aware of the Baha'i faith. Student officers are president Hedieh Naraghi and secretary Elham Ataii.

Persian New Year recalled Page2

Ron Packard, republican congressman for the 43rd district, lauded Palomar College and answered faculty members' questions when he was on campus Wednesday, April 2.

"I truly enjoyed coming to campus and seeing all that you're doing," Packard said to faculty members after personally greeting everyone assembled in the new board conference room.

"This is one of the tremendously effective community colleges in the state. I'm impressed with the growth in the facility and the quality of education ," Packard commented before opening up the forum to questions.

Many of the questions addressed Gramm-Rudman, a bill designed to reduce the $200-billion deficit to zero by 1991. In order to balance the budget, the monetary assistance given to various areas, including education and veteran's administration, will be cut.

Although the bill will be taking money from education, Packard maintains "I never felt that education should take a low priority."

He explained that Gramm-Rudman would be a great bill if it would decrease financial aid across the board, instead of exempting certain programs from the budget cuts.

According to Packard, 72 percent of the budget is exempted, leaving 28 percent to absorb the costs.

Using the prioritization system, he said, would mean that the remaining 28 percent would be cut by 30 to 45 percent. However on the sequestion system, which would allow for the budget to be cut across the board, almost everything would receive a 10 to 15 percent decrease. A decrease that is barely noticeable according to Packard.

The congressman, running for his third term, feels confident that sequestion will be implemented with GrammRudman , not the prioritization method.

Despite the accrued problems the

'Week of the Young Child' Page3

bill has brought, Packard is in support of balancing the budget through Gramm-Rudman. He mentioned that the United States is now paying a lot of money to the interest of the debt, money that we will never get to use.

He estimated that in ten years, 50 percent of the budget will be going to pay the interest on the debt if the budget is not balanced.

Another issue that Packard spent much of his time on was immigration.

One of the two ways which he says will help curb the problem of immigration is expanding Impact Aid, which gives financial support to areas that are greatly impacted, to include immigration. This would help community colleges which are required by law to teach legal and illegal immigrants.

Another way to help curb the problem, according to Packard, is by removing the incentive for coming across the borders.

Under this plan, Packard suggested first tightening the borders. Second, allow a certain number of immigrants to come across the border if there is work available for them and provide adequate housing. In this way, said Packard, they will not be treated so badly.

He is optimistic that some new border and immigration laws will come into practice during this next term since a committee has been working on this bill for the past ten years.

Packard notes that these changes would help the current problem with immigration. These problems, according to Packard, encompass the facts that: 200,000 illegal aliens cross the border from Mexico to the United States every month; about a third of the public assistance hospital beds are taken up by illegal immigrants; and about a third of the already overcrowded jails are filled with illegal immigrants.

Before Packard concluded the question/ answer session, he requested that his constituents write or call him and let him know how they feel about certain issues.

DJ cues up new music

By Nee Howard If I never learned humility before, being a disc jockey will teach it to me now.

In "Beginning Radio Production" here at Palomar, you get to be a OJ (disc jockey) on station KKSM-FM 98.9. Believe me, it's for real.

Ever see Dr. Johnny Fever on "WKRP In Cincinnati?" Well, he is smoo-oo-th. So are the kids in my class. They've got all that equipment under control and they're giving out with the back-announcements and the upbeat comments like they're sitting in the sun at the beach and talking to their best friends!

Not me.

First of all, you sit in front of a control board that has eight meters, eight switches, and eight knobs or pots-each of which has at least three different functions and all of which have to be manipulated at the same time. (Then there's all that other equipment that the kids who feel sorry for you tell you not to worry about.)

And then the station has a list of required music items, news updates, public service announcements, promotions, weather announcements and station identifications

By Anne Husk Having blossomed into adulthood as a flower-child, my attitudes about money were shaped in the '60s when the world seemed black and white. If you had enough cash to filter through a checking account, then you weren't one of us. We clothed our bodies in discarded GI jackets and covered out backsides with low-cost denim.

Youth and illusions gave out on the best of us though, and the trick has been to transfer gracefully from a nose-wrinkling disdain for material goods into upwardly-mobile baby boomers of the '80s. From hippies to yuppies, we've tried to be as unobtrusive as possible.

First we were in old denim, then designer jeans at $50 a pop, and finally we all had little alligators on our shirts.

We once sat on orange crates with antiwar posters decorating the walls. Now highpriced American folk furniture is lined up under expensive primitive paintings.

From unemployed to upscale. From protest signs to tennis rackets. From "The Whole Earth Catalogue" to "The One-Minute Manager." The transition is somewhat of an embarrassment.

If any of my former, hippie friends were to see me now, I would have to say I've returned to college for the pure joy of learning. I wouldn't dare admit I heard the pay was better with a degree.

which must be put on the air in the right order and at the right time. In between you get your records cued up to the right place, ready to go when you push the button.

Also you announce what you have played or, sometimes, what you're going to play.

Then, if you can remember it, you get to say all those neat things you thought about saying while you were driving to school!

KKSM features what is known as "New Dear Editor: Music."

The idea by Circle-K to paint the side of My problem is that I withdrew from the "New Music" scene when the Beatles broke the hill behind Palomar with a massive "P" up. I can't seem to understand the new music is both insensitive and infantile. It is unworthy and especially I can't tell when one number of a college population and administration that ends and a new one begins. So most of the would claim to care about the environment.

Promoters may claim that in the 1950's the time I chose a selection that starts at the beginning of the record and try to guess when mountain was marked with a similar letter.

So what? The '50s were a time when trashy to go to another record.

Give me a Streisand or a Sinatra record attitudes defined its culture. What is the difference between this act and that of a kid any time.

Listening to their music is like eating a who spray paints boulders along a scenic route perfectly cooked, succulent shrimp. You with graffiti like "Billy Bob Loves Trixie," KNOW when you've bitten in it--there's that "Class of '86," and worse? The only difference great burst of flavor that you hold on to while is that this mess totally dominates the San Marcos Valley. You cannot blame individuals they're singing--and then it's over. who deface the beautv of our environment And, believe me, you knew it was there.

Our motto used to be, "A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, preferably two." One didn't ask if it was red or white.

We grew our own vegetables and lived in communes. Now, if the neighbors lean over the fence I feel claustrophobic.

In my salad days, shoeleather and a thumb were the preferred means of transportation, but the prosperous among us were allowed to drive a VW if it was old and battered enough.

A Volkswagon bus underscored your commitment to love, because it carried more people.

Now we'd all have to drive to the love-in in our Renaults.

The feeling was distrust for anyone over ::SU and wonder at how the fools who had gone before us could have messed up so badly.

Twenty years later and many of us will settle for a boss who is only moderately cranky and a state-of-the-art VCR. Selling out or settling down? We are lucky not to have to answer to the generation behind us. No one points their finger and calls us failure.

I was so much smarter at eighteen than I am now. I'm having difficulty with my eyes, also. Where I used to see black and white, it's turned into a muted shade of gray.

But what the heck. I'm ready to travel firstclass. I'm ready to speed with the jetset. I'm looking forward to life in the fast lane. Just don't tell anybody you saw me near the onramp.

LETTER TO EDITOR

when institutions of learning lead the way. And if Palomar College can do it, how about San Marcos High, National University, or Mel's drive-in?

The distinctive green hills of San Marcos belong to everyone, and no one has the right to scar them with some hair-brained public relations gimmick.

Promoting the image of Palomar is a worthy goal. But surely the time, effort, and money can be better spent. It may, however, require a less sophomoric imagination and a little bit of good taste. Or if they insist on using our hillside as a billboard, please don't use whitewash. It's tacky. Why not a large, flashing neon "P"?

Spring nostalgia recalls Persian New Year

By Farrah Golshan "Sweet and sour" is not one of my favorite flavors in life.

At the most I can accept one or the other but not both at the same time.

Yet, once a year, during two special weeks, I savor the sweetness of my traditions and the sourness of not being able to share them with my American family and friends.

I've come to accept this as the curse of mixed (or international) marriages and a necessary step toward a united world , although, this acceptance doesn't take away the loneliness.

Spring, and the beginning of my new year, is one of the occasions for the collision of our cultures and my yearly recognition that I might never learn to become an American.

New year? you ask. Yes, new year.

For more than three thousand seven hundred years, I'm told that the tradition is about 9000 years old, Persians have formally celebrated the first day of the spring as their new year.

Seven years of living in America has forced me to learn more and more about my traditions, while trying to explain and to justify them to my very American son.

I've learned that Shah Jamshid, the legendary and mythical Persian king who on

occasions rode across the heavens on his throne, is credited for turning an already aged farmers' spring festivities into a formal and courtly ceremony and declaring it Now Rooz (New Day).

Honoring his decision, his people arranged a series of celebrations that began at the vernal equinox (about March 20) and lasted 13 days (to about April first).

These fourteen days were announced holidays and remained so over the centuries.

Celebrations, decorative lights, gifts, parties and new holiday wardrobes are most of what I associate with my childhood new years. Yet the best parts were the L-0-N-G two weeks school holiday and No Home Work.

Somehow I always found it extremely natural and relaxing not to worry about tests and school at the beginning of such a beautiful season.

After all, spring is when the plants and earth rejuvenate and nature calls on humankind to join the mesmerizing dance:of sun rays, orange blossoms and morning dew-or in the case of Southern California morning fog.

But the twentieth of March is just another ordinary day in America, a day to continue the usual bothersome chores of living.

For me, it quickly became a day of feeling lonely, a day of being out of place, out of touch or perhaps being caught in another galaxy,

another dimension.

My first March 20 in America, I woke up with a terrible desire to cry; the little child in me wanted a friendly new year greeting.

Solemnly I promised myself that I would never forget my heritage and traditions, although I had to observe them alone. Over the years I've accepted the impossibility of my promise.

Old customs require much time and preparation. Squeezed between my duties as a mother, housewife and student, I find little time to follow the traditional stages of preparing for the arrival of the new year.

Nevertheless, I do observe the convenient parts of the traditon such as coloring boiled eggs( similar to the Easter eggs), growing wheat and lentil grains in decorative dishes, buying a pair of gold fish in a bowl of water and setting the new year table decorated with seven special items that begin with the sound of the letter "s" in my language.

Gold fish, eggs, wheat and lentil and each of the seven items are symbolic and together stand for fertility, good luck, happiness and abundance of wealth, good health and good crops.

But what I miss the most is Haji Firuz, the Persian counter-part of Santa Claus.

For centuries this agile and slim man, in

a red shimmering outfit and clown make-up, has danced through the streets of every town to bring the good news, the coming of th new year.

As a child I awaited his arrival with the same excitement American children await Santa Claus.

I can still smell the freshness of the new money, the aroma of candies, cookies and special holiday foods . I can still hear the familiar songs that Haji Firuz used to sing to us, the squeaking of the new shoes and the special sound and feel of the new clothes.

And I feel a special sorrow or perhaps disappointment that my son can never understand the meaning of Now rooz and Haji Firuz.

Perhaps I can't make him understand, Perhaps I can't give him my heritage, but there's always the possibility of forming our own unique heritage, something that we can share, the memories of our life together, the pain of growing and learning when we think we've outgrown them.

Or perhaps we could share a special seven items that begin with the letter "s" in his language. Seven items for him, for me and for all of us: self-knowledge, self-trust, serenity, sensitivity, spontaneity, solidarity, simplicity.

Happy New Year my son, America and to you, Palomar College.

Week of the Young Child

By Farrah Goshan

Child development consultants of the State Department of Education have declared Palomar's Child Development Center "one of the best schools they had ever seen," a "model program" and one which they would "like to use as a model throughout the state."

"It is a very nice honor,"says Dr. Rosemary Clissold, chairperson of child development. "'The consultants reviewed our program against 22 quality indicators including the safety of the children's physical environment, programmed activities, family and community involvement, social and health services, parent education, staff and their qualifications and many other aspects."

Nadine Abbott, director of Child Development Center explains, "'The quality indicators were developed by the office of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. '"fhe consultants visited the center last January and interviewed the teaching staff, the parents and the children after touring the center. They evaluated our program as one of the best."

The emphasis of Clissold's doctorate in education is in special education and counseling. She has been with the child development for 15 years and is very pleased with the result of the evaluation and with the students at Palomar. "I love teaching, our students are fun and hard working."

According to Clissold, in addition to the regular staff of the center, all the students in child development have to work four hours per week one semester and six hours per week the next semester in the center and directly with the children from nine months to five years old.

"This work will give them a chance to discover whether this is the career

they want to have," says Clissold.

Nadine Abbott has worked for eleven years at Palomar and during the last eight years she has been the director of the center.

"Our staff," says Abbott, "are all certified and either have an AA or a BA or masters degree in child development. Fifty percent of our children are the children of the students at Palomar and the rest are the children of the staff and community.

The Child Development Center operates within three buildings and has a waiting list of 100 children at present.

So, aside from being a model facility, what is in the future for child development. Well, they are planning a special week entitled The week of the Young Child from April 19 through April26.

Clissold explains the goals of this week, "Generally speaking, it's a week we highlight children and parents. It's more of an awareness that children are valued and are important."

The program will include activities on campus and in the Child Development Center. "'There will be exhibitions of children's art work, storytelling, clowns and gymnastics," according to Abbott.

"We will also have a puppet show and speech and hearing clinic and many other activities."

The next step for child development is to participate in latchkey children's program in schools.

Clissold hopes "to do some training for latchkey children's program. Many schools are preparing themselves for the after school child care and we hope to work with them in their extended program."

According to Clissold, Poway and Solana Beach have the extended program at the moment and Escondido schools will begin the program next year.

When is a tiebreaker not a tiebreaker?

When the first place men's swim teams, Palomar and Chafley, meet today at Chafley at 2:30 p.m.

Both teams are 4-0 in the Inland Valley Conference. The winner of today's dual will lead the conference - for one week.

"Because of the way the conference champion is determined, today is a preliminary," according to Comet coach Don Hubbard. "Both teams are looking a week away. Since we go into today's meet tied for first, whoever wins the big one next weekend will be the conference champion."

The "big one," the three-day Inland Valley Conference Meet, will take place April 24-26 at the East LA Swim Stadium.

Last week's 76-28 victory over Citrus was the important dual. "We had to win," said Coach Hubbard. "It could have been a close meet, but it wasn't.

Our team was fired up."

Especially hot were Russ Schutz and Bill Richardson. Both took away two victories from last Friday's meet.

Schutz won the 200 freestyle in 1:46.6 and the 200 butterfly with a 2:05.5.

Richardson captured the 200 individual medley in 2:15.64 and the 200 breaststroke in 2:28.3.

The rest of the team kept up the pace. In the freestyle races. Bob Baranek took the 1000 in 10:46.45, Mike Stanley won the 500 in 5:16.93 and Jeff Warner won the 100 in 51.59.

Lonnie Moreno won the 200 backstroke in 2:49.9 and helped Richardson, Warner and John Hyde capture the medley relay in 4:19.62.

The freestyle relay team of Schutz, Warner, Alan Livingston and Chris Monti won with a 3:31.61. Dan Osgood garnered 265 points to win the diving competion.

Two swimmers also took two events in the previous week's drowning of Rio Hondo. Dan Rupp won the 1000 freestyle with 11:18.20 and the 200 individual medley in 2:16.8. Warner splashed to victory in the 200 freestyle with 2:01.8 and the 100 freestyle in 52.8.

Other winners were Livingston in the 50 freestyle, Schutz in the 500 freestyle and Scott Given in the 200 backstroke. Schutz, Hyde, Given and Dan Lucas teamed up to win the medley relay and Hyde took first in the diving competion.

Conference leading Grossmont also proved to be ungracious guests when they shut out Palomar 9-0 April3. The Comets failed to pick up a set win, and managed only 22 games to the visitors' 118.

Palomar's April1 match turned out to be a bad joke on the visiting Comets.

Second place San Diego Mesa defeated the visiting Comets 8-1, with the locals only victory coming by default.

The Comets wrap up the season by traveling to Ventura to play in the Ojai Valley Tournament April 23-27.

Lineup changed after slump After experiencing another slump following its win of the Jim Towne Memorial Baseball Tournament, the Comets have reorganized their starting roster.

The slump is "basically more mental than physical," commented Coach Bob Vetter. "We left the bases loaded in the eighth and ninth innings against both Mesa and MiraCosta and couldn't punch a run across."

Some of the fresh blood being pumped into their new starting lineup is Craig Chamness as catcher; Dave Clayton, first base; Scott Benefiel, shortstop; John Parry, third base; Todd Kynett, left field; Ron Sisler, center field; Yale Fowler, right field; and Mark Ungerbillen as pitcher.

Fowler, had a no-hitter going into the seventh inning in the game against MiraCosta on April 8.

Damon receives auto scholarship Maria Melbourne, playing number 2 singles, has not lost a set all year. She also teams with Paige Ready for the undefeated number 1 doubles team. Presently the Comets are 11-0 in conference and 1~ over8ll. They travel to the Ojai Tournament on April 23.

Six college students, from widely divergent campuses ranging from states such as Georgia to Massachusetts and Ohio, recently completed a four-week stay in Washington as part of Americans for Democratic Action's newly created "Allard K. Lowenstein Fellowship Program."

The "Fellows" were placed as interns in congressional offices, an opportunity which provided them with a practical, hands-on knowledge of how government functions and a close look at the politics "behind the scenes."

They also took part in a vigorous schedule of public policy seminars and expanded their organizing skills through workshops.

Now twelve more students have the chance to participate in the Lowenstein Fellowship's summer session, and learn organizing skills necessary to become effective leaders on campus

Photographers get good review

By Robert Rowsey Palomar's photography department has been chosen as one of the nation's top 25 in a recently published survey.

In "The Professional Photographer's Business Guide," compiled by Fredric W. Rosen, the photo department was singled out from 1,043 educational institutions in the United States by Dr. C. Thomas Horrell, of Southern Illinois University's cinema and photography department.

In this survey, Horrell selected 25 of the schools that he feels have an "appreciable amount of undergraduate hours in the following areas: basic photography, photojournalism, portrait photography, commercial photography, photographic illustration , industrial photography, the history of photography and color photography."

In the book, Palomar was number three on the list and is stated to offer nine hours in basic photography, nine hours in photojournalism, nine hours in portrait photography, nine hours in commercial photography, 15 hours in the history of photography and 15 hours in color photography.

Kean Wilcox, Palomar photo instructor, commented, "We have a good overall preparatory program so people can enter the job market and do well or transfer to a four year school."

Photography instructors Kean Wilcox, Tom Young and Will Gullette focus on quality.

Both Wilcox and the book agree that the department has a strong practical rather than theoretical approach to teaching.

"We have a practical approach. We

want people to be able to go into the job market in any field they want," said Wilcox.

Alan Carrassco, photo editor of Breakout, a Carlsbad based surf magazine, and photo department alumni, said "Kean (Wilcox) is a real qualified teacher, teaches a complete program. Their (the department's) facilities are among the best I've seen of any other school."

Other alumni who have obtained gainful jobs within the field of photojournalism include: Grant Brittian - photo editor of Trans World Skateboarding magazine; Wyman Askey photographic engineer at Burroughs Corporation, Rancho Bernardo; J. Patrick Downs - Los Angeles Times; Peter Koelman, Don Bartletti and James Skovmand- San Diego Union; Cynthia Johnson - director of the Weston Gallery in Carmel; and Andy Hyatt - Sports Illustrated.

"We have an active program and are proud of it. We place people in the field," said Wilcox.

He hopes the good review from the "The Professional Photographer's Business Guide" will help develop a more clear overall picture of Palomar's educational system.

According to Wilcox, the department's overall picture still needs a sharper focus on improvement. The workrooms are self-contained, but "eventually we'd like to see a color lab for printing and a larger studio for color work," he said. "We feel like we have max usage out of the space we've got. We need improved equipment."

Palomar IP' prevails through past perils

By Robert Rowsey Finding a place in history isn't easy, but business club Circle-K is doing just that - at least in the history of the Palomar "P" on Owen's Peak.

Beginning with the freshman student body in the fall of 1950, and reaching a peak between 1962 to 1970, the tradition of maintaining the "P" has been considered by some a barometer of school spirit. From the looks of it1 things have gotten pretty shabby.

In 1946 the students of Palomar College had to use the classrooms of Vista High School at night. In 1949 the college moved into the trailers at the Vista Community Center.

Unorthodox film shows "The Third Generation" (Germany 1979), a thriller about German terrorists, is showing April 24 at 2 and 7p.m. in P-32.

Called "Truly explosive as well as being explosively funny," director Ranier Werner Fassbinder fmds a way to laugh at terrorism.

The urban guerilla unit portrayed in the movie is comprised of "middle class misfits and neurotics without a trace of ideology."

Richard Peacock, Cinema and Communications instructor, calls Passbinder's approach to film, "playful and sometimes intentionally melodramatic. Fassbinder will heighten reality through garish color and steamy dialogue to get at the essence of reality. For all the strangeness of his films, there is a special truth they share."

Peacock continues, "His themes have covered everything from dramas about homosexuals to political terrorism. In his short career, he portrayed every subject in an extremely unorthadox fashion. He led the way in the renaissance of German film in the 1970's."

In 1950, student chairman Bill Tipton led 20 to 30 students up the large hill behind the school and cleared out a giant "P" from the brush, spreading white lime over the bare ground.

At the time, the school advisors agreed to the project, but the group neglected to get permission from the owners of the hill.

But now, for thirty-six years, things have worked out for the "P".

Being a symbol of spirit and enthusiasm for a school that has helped San Marcos grow as a community, the "P" has even been used by Palomar airport to help teach new pilots how to land.

Now approaching a landmark in its history, Palomar College will celebrate its fortieth anniversary on April 26, the day of business club Circle-K's scheduled project to paint andre-lime the "P".

From 1962 to 1970 service groups would lime the "P" every year. At that time the Circle-K club would enlist the use of an old Jeep to take the bags of lime up the back and over top of Owen's peak.

By 1970 the condition of the "P" had deteriorated. This time the football team tackled the job.

"We decided to do something about it," said Mark Weihe, former Palomar football coach, remembering the "P" in 1970. "We got the Football team together and one Sunday we walked up and put new lime on it."

But as school spirit faded so did the appearance of the "P".

"We've got to show people that Palomar isn't just a place where you come and pick up your grades. We want people who can say that Palomar College's been good to them, people

who want to do something for it," said William "Buff" Witt, one of the CircleK organizers for Project "P".

Pat Gualteri, a spokesperson for Circle-K, commented on the desire for committee members to improve basic administrative skills through the project. "It's not a speech team, but people will learn to speak in front of groups and how to lead," she said.

The organization of the event becomes apparent after looking at the six groups designed to work on the "P" April 26.

Groups one through three will all clean rocks out of their own sections of the "P" then be in charge of liming them.

Group four, the painters, will come in after groups one through three have made the "P" free of debris but before they've limed it and spray the white paint on.

Group six will be the security guards. They'll be placed to the north, west and south of the site and will make sure no one goes onto the area.

Phase two is The Project "P" Jamboree. This will include the awards ceremony for all participants and sponsors in the project, and also the celebration of Palomar's fortieth annviersary.

For the day of the celebration, live music is scheduled, and local service clubs and Palomar clubs will be in the Student Union where a large cake will be served.

Dr. George Boggs, superintendent/ president of the college, will toast the occasion.

Anyone interested in helping lime the "P" should contact David Forsyth at Ext. 2500.
