First produced in Moscow in 1904, 11 The Cherry Orchard" is the subtle portrayal of conflic~ between two generations. Because this conflict, as well as the action and characterizations are underplayed, the play is not easy to interpret.

Why did Brubeck leave his position as Head of the Composition Department at San Diego State to come to Palomar? "In Palomar:• said Brubeck, "I saw an opportunity to build an outstanding music department. And I had the freedom to do this developing at my own rate, in my own way." During the thirteen years of teaching here and the fourteen years of teaching before he came here, Brubeck formed many ideas regarding an instructional program in humanities. His appointment as Assistant Dean of Instruction, has given him the opportunity to work with the humaDities departments and realize his plans. "1 have always been interested in the humanities," said Brubeck. "In my new position, I hope to help the department to organize and pool their resources to maintain and expand the strong humanities program which has become a tradition at Palomar." ''It has been the philosophy of Palomar College to meet as adequately as facilities and staff permit, the needs of students in our area,'' said Brubeck.

Auto building planned for 1966 Through the addition of new facilities, faculty, and the resulting increase in enrollment, Palomar's automotive mechanics program is preparing to undergo an abrupt expansion. The present plans are the second phase in the development of the auto mechanics program. For some years Palomar's studentmechanics have used the facilities of Escondido High School.

In October plans for the new auto buildi~g were formulated when funds from the California Bond Issue of 1964 were made available. Subsequently, the State of California approved the plans and provided two-thirds of the financing. The remaining third of $91 ,000 was raised by Palomar College. The building bears a total price tag of $277,000. $155,000ofthisisfor , 'construction and $4 7, 000 for equipment. The auto building will be located north of the engineering building above the north parking lot with access to the road. The auto building will be completely equipped to turn out mechanics competent in every phase of their work. Not only will they be able to study engine tune-up, electrical systems, body repairs, but also engine rebuilding.

Ex amp I e s range through Yeats, Graves, Browning, Swift, Hunt, Wharton, Pound, Frost, and many others. The works containing mythological allusions, presenting only poems which embody as their theme ideas and events of classical mythology. A newcomer to Palomar this year, Quintero is unusuallyqualified to teach the course because of a strong background in the classics, affirmed Richard F. Norlin, English Department head. The anthology, Norlin added, is the first major publication to be completely produced by the graphic arts department here. The book, Classical Myth..!!! English Poetry is on sale at the Palomar book store.
