the summer to improve the quality of services for students. The most apparent change to returning students is in the cafeteria. "Nick Paz is the new Food Service director. He has brought energy and creativity to the job in addition to more varieties offood for the students. The salad bar had been renovated. He's cleaned things up and improved the appearance of the cafeteria, including new wallpaper.~ "I would also like to commend the staff of Buildings and Grounds. They worked hard all summer on remodeling projects." Changes made over the summer include: 1) Fixing leaky gas valves and rusty faucets in the chemistry lab. 2) Installing air conditioning in almost all classrooms to "keep the comfort lev.:el of students and teachers up, and their minds on their work.~ 3) Getting rid of termites and flxing plumbing in the dental assistants' lab. 4) Remodeling the P building, where offices for English, Speech and American Indian Studies are located. Dr. Boggs wants to increase students' recognition of the quality programs already available. A few of those mentioned were computer aided drafting, woodworking and automotive training. He spoke with pride of the superior work done by students in those flelds, and others. "Our students always place well in competitions at the Del Mar and North County fairs. The Photography and Graphic Communications Departments always win awards." Art, speech, drama, music and dance also received accolades from Dr. Boggs. Palomar has the top wrestling team in the state. Unfortunately, few students are aware that Palomar athletes excel in many sports. "I get discouraged because no one attends games,~ said Dr. Boggs. "I would like to see more school spirit. I realize that 75 percent of our students have jobs, but I believe that in spite of this, people can attend." Dr. Boggs sums up changes that have occurred in his first year as president. "I'm finding that people are more enthusiastic about working and being here. We are here for students and learning, and that's what has to come first. My door is always open to any student. Just call to make an appointment."
