Young Republicans quit national organization Area One colleges hold meeting to plan cnnference A resolution to initiate action to have directional signs on state thoroughfares designating the locations of junior colleges was passed unanimously by the Area One colleges at a joint AreaOneSteering Committee meeting this weekend in Imperial Valley.

Five of eight resolutions submitted to the conference were passed. These resolutions will be acted upon at the State California Junior College Student Government Association conference held in San Diego and -hosted by the Area One schools March 31, April 1,2. All resolutions passed at similar meetings of the other areas will beconsidered at the state conference.

The CJCSGA is composed of representatives of all the junior college student governments in California. State conferences are held bi-annually and hosted each time by a different group of area schools. This is the first year the area system has been tried

In memoriam of the late

D. H.fuehm Monday evening· the Governing Board met and approved the dedication of the new art gallery to the late Dwight Boehm. The gallery is located by the fountain at the entrance to the Fine Arts wing. Because it is a separate building within the fine arts area enables the college to give it a special name. In this building the college will hold exhibits and other events connected with the fine arts division.

Dedication ceremonies will be held l\1ay 22nd and Boehm's widow will be present at that time to receive the honors. A plaque explaining the dedication will be presented and afterwards hungin the gallery.

Dr. Frederick Huber, president of Palomar, explained the reasons for the dedication, saying that Boehm was formerly the chairman of the Humanities division of which art and music are a part. Also, Boehm "had been very interested in the new facility and building and had worked to achieve the total facility including the gallery," said Dr. Huber.

Originally teaching history as well as English, Boehm had been at Palomar for about ten years.

He was named chairman of the Humanities division when the position was created. about six years ago.

and one of the resolutions that . passed at Friday's conference was that Area One go on record in favor of retaining the A.rea system.

Other resolutions that passed were: 1. to amend the Financial Code to give areas $1,000 rather than $450 to host state conventions, 2. to investigate the emPloyment of an adult to act as conference manager in assisting the host colleges in the organization of future conferences, and that this committee report to the next state convention after San Diego, 3. to go on record in favor of printing locations of junil).r colleges on state highway maps , and that the CJCSGA request the California Highway Division to initiate necessary action.

All resolutions were submitted

by Palomar and Grossmont.

Delegates to the IVC conference Friday held a short business meeting shortly after arrival at the college, and then, in keeping with the IVC Western Week celebrations, were treated to a Western chicken bar-b-q.

Dale Stiver, state CJCSGApresident, received a western belt as a prize for the- best Western dress at the. conference.

Ckeanside H. S. takes honors in speech events The First Annual ' Palomar Invitational Speech Tournament was held on campus Saturday.

This tournament was designed to give local high school students practice in four events: Original Oratory, Dramatic Interpretation, Oral Interpretation and Humorous Interpretation.

Oceanside came out head and shoulders above the rest of the field, especially in number of participants according to Poug Rosetta, tournament chairman.

Besides Oceanside, Grand Sweepstakes winner, Army-~avy, San Luis Rey Academy, Fallbrook, Carlsbad, Vista, and San Marcos sent representatives.

There were 75 contestants from the eight schools.

"One of the reasons for so small a turnout from all the schools,'' said Rosetta, "is the flu that has been going around. I guess it hit some of the high school speech teams pretty hard,' 'he said.

This is the first tournament of this type eve·r held here. Always before Palomar has held the spring tournament for novices but never for all classes such as this one.

Negro Folklore misunderstood and misinterpreted says Dr. Wilgus "My pf'esence her'e is embar.. rassing,"saiJ guest speaker, Dr. D. K. Wilgus. "A white man explaining Negro folklore i,S ironic, but there seems to be no Negro folklorists."

Dr. Wilgus, whose theme for the HumanitiesLecture was "Negro Folklore," explained that ~'the study of Negro folklore is difficult."

The Negro, in rejectinghispast, has lost much of what little lore he has. Little is known of African tribal traditions. The relationship of Afro-American cultures is not known. There are few historical records of U S Negro folklore.

The African heritage as opposed to the American heritage places the Negro in a dilemma. Slavery stripped the Negro of a lot of his

customs and Mltefs. As; a result folklorists have to paste together Negro folklore by studying the . language, customs and beliefs.

"Superstitions did not originate from the Negro (as many of us believe)," commented Dr. Wilgus, "but from the Anglo-Americans." Dr. Wilgus went on to explain the the stereotyping of the Negroes' folklore is a mis. interpretation and a misunderstanding. Their spirituals, jazz, and folk narratives are an intgration of Negro and white cultures.

Negroes adoptedtheirtagged-on habits of hand clapping, shouting and syncronization from white dissenters at camp revivals in Northeast America. They used American songbooks and tunes to turn to page 4

Brush-stroke reproductiorn on sale in bookstore March 1 The ASB Bookstore is having a sale on brush-stroke authentic reporductions of master artists works, March 1 throughll. These pictures will sell for $1.98 instead Qf the usual $2.98 asked in other stores.

"Up at the University :of California at Berkeley these same pictures are selling for $3. 98," said Don 0' Neill bookstore manager. "By standing about three feet away from these pictures they 1 look just exactly like oil 'paintingd.

They are beautiful.' 'he said.

There are also oak and mah- , ogony frames to go with these \ pictures. The frames are assembled with glue included in the Do- It- Yourself picture frame kit.

There are 300 of these pictures and the sale will last until March 11.

After that date the remaining pictures will be shipped back to the suppliers.

This year 35,000 books have been purchased from the bookstore. Since July 1 of last year to January 31 of this year the bookstore has netted $12,849 with a very small fraction of this coming from the profit made on textbooks. The majority of the profit comes from the sale of supplementary materials such as

pens, sweatshirts, art materials., according to O'Neill. · "We buy a textbook for $4.00 and sell it for $5.00," said 0' Neill. "But by the time we pay for the shipping costs and order fees and pay the students whounbox, check off the invoices, price and rebox for storing we end up with only about 12% profit on each book," he added.

The Palomar Chapter of the Young Republicans has joined five other chapters of San Diego County in refusing to pay its dues to the State organization of Young Republicans, thereby withdrawing membership.

The sudden mutiny came about as a result of last ··week's election in which "ultra - conservative" Mike Djordjevich was elected President of the State body. The dissenting groups had backed a less radical man for the office.

Wednesday, February 16, a press conference was held in San Diego in which representatives from Grossmont, Cal Western, San Diego State, Mesa, and San· DiE;lgo City Colleges explained why they decided to pull up their stakes in the State organization. Djordjevich and his followers advocate the following tenets: 1) Eradication of the National Income Tax, 2) Withdrawal from the United Nations, 3) Removal of the UN Headquarters from the US, 4) Out and out war over VietNam. At the end of the week the six college groups were to meet again to begin formation of a new federation for young Republicans which would include the drawing up of a canstitutioncontainingthe a~ms and political ideals of its members. No word has yet been released regarding the outcome of that meeting. However, Tom Jenkins, President of the Palomar College affiliation of Young Republicans has 'expressed his thoughts on the recent insurgence.

"Ou.r club is unanimous in our intention not to have anything further to do with the State organization, unless they change to a more sensible line of views," he said. Regarding Palomar's YR's ideas on the VietNam war Jenkins declared, "We back it totally. We must fight the Communist movertWnt and do all we can to keep it from advancing or soon it will be on our doorstep. We must avoid another Korea!"

Nineteen year-old Jenkins refrained from making a comment on the PYR' s opinion of the John Birch Society saying, "I don't see where it applies to the subject at hand." It assuredly is a part of the issue at hand since three of the officers of the State YR are avowed members of the John Birch Society whom the Palomar group has in essence renounced .

Jenkins stated that the Palomar Club has not discussed the UN topic officially, but he was willing to assert his own · view on it.

''Personally, I believe we ought to stay in the UN, but there are a lot of changes necessary in order for it to be an effective organization."

In evaluating the proposal of abolishing income tax Jenkins avers, "To completely abolish it is a ridiculous ,' impossible ·idea.

The money is needed for important functions. However, if a more suitable substitution in some other form of taxation were devised I would very possibly espouse it."

The one point on which the State Young Republicans and the rebelling six chapters have common grounds of belief is in their desire to see Ronald Reagan become the next California Governor.

Tom Jenkins observed, "I am for his election because he stands for the same principles and philosophy which I believe in and I think that h~.?. -, definitely the best man qualifit:JJ of all those apparently running for the position." Needless to add, it will be most interesting to watch the developments of this auspicious mutiny. turn to page 4

Plans sprung for spring fling The AWS executive committee met last Wednesday announcing its officers for the semester and outlining its spring plans.

At 8 p.m. last Wednesday AWS hostesses guided the San Marcos Parents Club in a tour of the Women's P.E. facilities and the new Fine Arts complex. The availibility of hostesses for local functions is planned as a standard club service.

Following the tour there was a planetarium show on the Northern Lights.

Major events to be sponsored this semester include the Senior Girls' Tea, the Mother-Daughter Fashion Show, both in April and a dance presently slated for May 21.

New officers are Leanne Schettler, president; Nancy Brice, vice-president; Gail Cummings, secretary; Marilyn Jernigan, treasurer, publicity charimen, Crista Gillette and Vicki Moen, social chairman, June Dallas; cultural chariman, Mary Albright; fashion show, Sheryl Roberts; service chairman, Jo Anne Wallace; and Orientation, Nia Fleck.

All the profits the bookstore does make, however, go directly back to the students in the form of dances, student publications, speech tournament transportation, athletics and other student activities sponsored by ASB. The bookstore is owned by the ASB and profits are turned over to the ASB. "Some students have told me that I must be making a heck of a lot of money with the prices I charge," said 0' Neill.

"But I have a set salary, whether I sit around all day and play checkers or work from 8 a.m. tb midnight. I charge the prices set down by the publishers and that's all," he continued.

The bookstore hours are from 7:30 a.m. to 3:00p.m. and from 6:30p.m. to 9:30p.m.

"I'D RATHER DO IT MYSELF." Assistant Superintendent John D. Schettler adds a final touch

The advent of March will bring to San Diego theatre-goers the opportunity to see the long awaited, much heralded film "Dr. Zhivago." Often the viewing ofan extraordinary motion picture spurs one on to read the original version from which the movie was adapted. In this particular instance it is suggested that you make an effort to read the novel

by Boris Pasternak of the same name before attending the picture. It will greatly enrich your viewing experience.

In 1958 author Boris Pasternak was proclaimed winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature for his book Dr. Zhivago. It was Pasternak's first original work in 25 years. He had been busy earning an esteemed reputation for his poetry and translations of Shakespeare. The clamor of praise and adulation for the work was world-wide, except in Communist Russia where Pasternak was scorned and vilified from writers' guilds on up to Premier Khrushchev. There was no alternative; Pasternak had no choice but to refuse acceptance of the greatest honor to be accorded a man in the world of letters.

Dr. Zhivago is a book so encompassing in scope and rich in beauty that it cannot be anything other than a totally rewarding experience for any who read its pages.

Much of the long and emotionally taxing plot centers upon the great Russian Revolution, the events which led up to it, the horrors endu:t:ed through it, and the adjustment of the period of aftermath.

any books and wouldn't think of touching a history book. Snitch Bookworm loved poetry and chewed Shelley and Poe like they were going out of style (incidently they were going out of style in the Palomar library). All the other worms had a particular preference, which was all great and satisfying in the beginning.

Indigestion strikes! All sorts of drastic things started happening to the bookworm race--a young member developed a neurotic personality (too much Freud), another member predicted the downfall of mankind (too much philosophy) and so on and so on.

The race was falling apart. Nowhere was there a cure. It seems that there wasn't a jack-of-all-trades in the bunch and no one knew anything except their own subjects. Joe Bookworm, the Master of Philosophy came up with a sound idea. In order for the race to survive they must have a diet of well balanced books. Variety being the spice of life; they planned a system whereas each worm shared his books. Soon the library was well stocked. There grew an abundening sources of books to be shared by all. The three-story library seems plausible now; the bookworm race survived.

The book worm race developed ages and ages ago--since the beginning of bookkind itself. On the campus of Palomar a strange species came into being. They weren't content to be like normal bookworms who read a book, enjoyed it and put it back on the shelf for someone else to read. Not only did this particular bookworm race read the books, but they also devoured them and set up individual libraries inside their stomachs. They were a selfish bunch.

Year by year they gobbled up their favorite kind of books while the shelves dwindled down.'The Master Plan, which was to build a three story library, seemed out of the question. The books that filled the one room were rapidly disappearing--why did the school dream of filling three? Though an average of 582 books were bought each month they couldn't keep up with the rapid pace of the Palomar bookworm's digestive system. They were consuming an average of 1% of the books a semester.

An important clue was discovered a round 1966. It seems that these devouring devils had devloped individual fetishes. In the eyes of this bookworm species, this was just great.

Dear Editor; I s'lfould like .to know how Mr. Gross' editorial "Alas Babylon" manged to get into print last week.

I have never seen such an incredible collection of cliches, broad, undefined generalities and refutory statements. An editorial, I am told, is supposed to reflect the views of the editor or those in control of the paper. Is this the manner in which our editorial staff thinks?

It would seem so.

I should like to know what Mr. Gross is trying to prove. On reading the first paragraph I was led to believe that he was disgusted with student protests in general-including the students who protes.t the draft. But then he went on to discuss only the draft and then, without any apparent transition, on to protest those protesting war in general. I do not wish to go so far as to say that the ideas which he tries to present should not be in print. For "where else but in America could ... " he "stand forth and shout ... "his" ...protests?

Regarding the cliches, 1 just quoted one of many. Regarding the generalities, I should like to know what statistics he used to back up his statement, "Who even has the conviction and fight, if one feels his countrymen are no longer backing him?" I have heard statements to the contrary -- that our soldiers realize that the pacifists are a minority and not a representative group (this opinion was not voiced by a newspaperman, but by a Ranger wounded in Viet Nam.) I should like to know why pacifists are cowards rather than idealists, I should also like to know why he says that' 'there are no antiwar groups or pacifists" when he earlier states that there are. I should further like to know why he calls these antiwar groups "traitors to themselves and mainly to America." I was surprised to find such a series of unclarified opinions in a college newspaper. This . certanily reflects upon the quality of our newspaper not to mention the mentality of our college.

In the future I, among others, may wish to take issue with Mr. Gross. But this is impossible until he says something concrete. One cannot take a stand on a glob of jello--especially when it is wiggling in several different directions at once.

He spectfully, John Hicks

Dear Mr. Hicks; Although we assume the responsibility for that which appears in print in the Telescope, it must be remembered that signed editorials do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Telescope staff or those of the A. S. B. If you will read the statement above the names in the staff box you will see our policy.

Editor-in-chief Dear Editor; Once again I find myself appalled at the practiced stupidity of a selfproclaimed patriot.

It would seem that Mr. Gross either does not care or is incapable of assessing the facts as they exi8t. Also obvious is his failure to back any of his rather bizarre gibberish with any concrete fact.

There are a great many people who are far more abhorrent of war than just "not wanting it." In fact, it often takes more ·"guts" to stand up for the pacifistic viewpoint than it does to issue absurd statements on which one is not qualified to speak.

You would condemn and silence these people Mr. Gross, but in doing so you would have us give up the rights given to us under the First Amendment of the Constitution. How would we then be any better than our enemies?

Supreme Court Justice Black said: · ''The First Amendment means to me, however, that the only constitutional way our government can preserve itself is to leave .its people the fullest freedom to praise, criticizeordiscuss, as they see fit, all governmental policies and to suggest, if they desire, that even its most fundamental postulates are bad and should be changed .•. " I believe that it is our right, and indeed our duty, to speak on issues of great national concern, regardless of the side on which we stand. It is your right as well Mr. Gross, but you performed so poorly that I think you did a disservice to our college.

Reply:

Steve Lutes

Judging from the comments received, and from two letters which are on this page, we gather that there are some who are in doubt as to just what I said and felt.

Therefore, I shall state it again, so that no doubt remains in anyone's mind.

We are not legally in a declared war, therefore, those "patriots" cannot be called traitors, I shall simply state, war should be declared and after declaration, those "patriots" s hould be called by their correct names.

sitive to any criticism of the Selective Service.

This attitude can be just as dangerous as the unfounded criticisms which that bureau rece ives.

Recently, I submitted a resolution to the ASB Council concerning the policy of draft-classification of students. The Council accepted the proposal with enthusiasm, but later, its publication in the Executive Council minutes and the Telescope was completely misunderstood by many students.

(Ed. Refer to the Feb. 21, 1966 Note: issue of the Telescope for details) I have been called upon to explain the purpose and intent behind the re. ' ' solution many times since.

Here , I hope to clarify my position and reason for writing the resolution.

Let me say first that politically I am a progressive conservative; I support the government policy in Viet Nam; and, though I have already served four years in the Navy, I will if necessary return to military service for the duration of the war.

I am not an advocate of the "new left", nor can I advocate or sanction draftcard burning. The purpose and meaning of my resolution was of a higher plain than mere protest. I recognized the problem posed by judicial-instrusion and I proposed what I feel to be an equitable solution: "a concrete and outlined policy for the classification EFFECTS UPON COURTS OF LAW The point that many of us fail to realize when considering the problems exposed by my resolution, is the resulting effects upon the unique nature and function of our courts of law.

Also, the esteem which we hold for them is possibly at stake. Some correction to this usurpation of judicial power by an administrative body is necessary.

When the Executive is pe rmitted to determine guilt or innocence, it actually becomes quasijudicial. It is questionable whethe r this is either the intended purpose or a desireable function for such· bureaus. We have provided for the separation of power in our government for very good reasons. This move by the Selective Service Board into the realm of trying cases is a clearcut case of the spillover of judicial power into the executive function.

Nor is this an isolated example of illegitimate justice. Government today provides many more examples of the same. The Federal Communications Commission does not refer all violations of its rules to the courts. In many cases it merely revokes the violator's license. Certainly, the National Labor Relations Board and the Federal Reserve Board do not always utilize the courts for their contending cases.

There are numerous instances of the same violation of function, but, as students we are primarily interested in the Selective Service. That is why I have refered it to an organization of student advocates: the California Student Government Association. continued on Page 4

New record set Saturday at PSC relay The Pacific Southwest Conference relays were held at Palomar's track last Saturday. Tbe meet was dominated by the powerful :\J esa College Olympians, the score ran: Mesa 112, San Diego City 73, Grossmont 69, Southwe stern 33, Palomar 22, and Imperial Valley 6. Mira Costa did not send a team to the meet.

The scoring was divided into two areas, individual events 6-4-3-2l, while the relay events 10-86-4-2-1.

In the distance medley relay the capable Comet combo of Dan Starr, Ken Broach, Dave Funderburk, and Jim Adkins teamed for the most dramatic race of the afternoon. After Starr's 440 and Broach's 880, theComets trailed the leading Gross mont Griffins by over 50 yards and were in third place. Funderburk took the baton and immediately began closing the gap. He quickly passed the second place Mesa man and began to challenge the leading Grossmont runner. Dave was only a few steps behind when he passed the baton to miler Jim Adkins.

They added three more in the fourth on a pair of safeties, two walks and an error wralld p~r­ layed a hit and a miscue for an additional run in the ninth frame.

The Comets scored one in the third inning when second baseman Al Eichmeyer singled, advanced on a walk by shortstop Hank Tenney, and scored on left fielder Zinniger's one-bagger up the middle.

Trailing, 7-1, they struck for three markers in the bottom o~ the seventh, center fielder Blair singled, third baseman Rod Dyckman gained life on an error and both moved up on a wild pitch.

Blair came home on a fielder's choice with Potter hitting, and Tenney followed up with a booming 370-foot home run to dead center field to score Dyckman ahead of him.

The Comets tallied two runs in an abortive ninth-inning rally. Blair and Dyckman rapped singles and both advanced two bases on an error by the left fielder.

After Potter struck out and Tenney grounded to the third baseman, catcher Rod Nicol sin-

gled up the middle to plate both Blair and Dyckman. Huett ripped a vicious liner to the cen- · ter fielder to end the game.

Blair went 3-for-4 to lead the Comets at the plate, Tenny, Eichmeyer, Nicol, Huett, Zinniger and o~tfielder Jerry Montiel roum::liog. out the nine-hit attack with one safety each.

Huett and Potter combined to give up nine hits.

PALOMAR--MIRA COSTA

The Comets ripped Mira Costa in an opening tourney game Thursday. Palomar (3-2-1) romped over San Bernardino in its only other home start, 10-4. Mt. Sac and Riverside tied the other tourney opener, 1-1.

Veteran righthanderJerryMontiel tossed a four-hitter striking out 12 and walking one, as he had little trouble setting down the Spartans, failing to surrender a hit through the first six innings and retiring the side in order in the first, second, third, fifth and sixth frames.

The former Escondido High School star required only seven pitches to get the side out in the second stanza. The Spartans' only run came in the seventh inning and was unearned.

Center fielder Jack Rouse gained life on a dropped third strike, moved around to third on left fielder Bill Robinson's single, and scored on an error by second baseman Ray Huett.

Montiel now has a 2-0 wonlost record and an 0.72 earned run average for 24 innings of work.

Palomar rapped Mira Costa pitchers Norm Bess and Jim Bressi for 10 hits, including two ap- , ieee by shortstop Hank Tenney, catcher Rod Nicol, left fielder Rich Zinniger and center fielder Mike Blatr.

The Comets scored twice in the last half of the first inning.

Tenney singled and stole second base, Nicol was hit by a pitch, and Huett drew a walk to load the bases. Bess walked Zinniger to force in Tenney.

Huett moved to third on a fielder's choice with Montiel batting, Nicol being thrown out at home by the pitcher. Blair then singled up the middle to bring in Huett.

In the fourth frame, third baseman Terry O'Dell was hit by a pitch, advanced on right fielder Rod Dyckman's sacrifice bunt and scored as Nicol ripped a one-bagger into left field.

The Comets made it 4-0 when Blair scored in the sixth frame.

O'Dell plated him on a fielder's choice after Blair bunted safely, stole second and· andvanced to third on an error.

Leading, 4-1, Palomar got three insurance runs in the ninth. Right fielder Tom Heckendorn's double, walks to Dyckman, Nicol and Huett, and backto -back singles by Zinniger and Montiel turned the trick.

The Comets failed to give Montiel adequate support in the field, committing six errors behind him. Palomar left 11 runners stranded.

Negro folklore continued recreate their c ry for spiritual release.

The syncronizing in the Negro music especially characterize s all new world traditions .

Folk nar ratives reflect tension.

The Negro animal tales are a mixture of several ancestries .

Dr. Wilgus gave an example of the Tar Baby tale being a complexity of ancestry from India, Africa, Europe and America. The folk t!!,l~§l place an "emphasili;of protest-theNegro trying toovercome strong force s of the white,'' suggested Dr. Wilgus .

Through a series of anecdotes, Dr. W\lgus explained that many jokes are anti- Negro stories .

He gave an example of this by telling about the Negro being cited for driving through a red light.

To the judge , the Negro told how he had seen the white people go on a green light so he figured that the red light was a signal for the colored folk to go.

Dr. Wilgus see s that· the only hope for the preservation of Negro folklore is for the Negro to accept his own r ich heritage.

Dr. Wilgus, Regional Vice President of the California Folklore Society. spoke in the student union F r iday.

He is the author of Anglo Americ an Folksong Schol- . arshiR - Since 1898 ,and has writfen ar icles and r eviews forpublication in m agazines . He is also a le cturer and the producer and director of the UCLA F olk Fe stival. He r eceived his B.A., M. A. , and Ph. D. from Ohio State Unive r s ity.

construction of HCherry Orchard" sets

by JIM McNUTT For the first time floor plans and lighting plots for a drama production are being done by a student. Ben L. McCracken's designs for "The Cherry Orchard" were chosen over three other term projects submitted in Frank N. White's class in stagecraft.

McCracken will supervise the construction of his sets alongwith the lighting arrangement. The comedy will open March 22.

Opinions differ as to why McCracken's design was chosen.

White, his instructor, says the design offered "the best reflection" of the play. At the same time, he added, it overcame in a practical way a number of major problems. McCracken, a drama major, said his design was chosen because there is an increasing opportunity for students to assume responsibility in all phases of the drama-program. He said he had no previous experience in set design, although he has acted in several productions here.

One of the ·difficulties McCracken encountered in his assignment was to design sets for a work written for the theatre

PASSPORT

By PETER EVANS

This week we will explore, from the student's viewpoint: the methods ..Qf g~tting. tP r;llrPR~ a.rul the monitary problems 1n valved.

Since money is going to determine to a great extent how you travel and what you are going to do, let's talk dollars first.

Almost always, a student who goes about the business of traveling in an intelligent and mature manner feels that he will never · have enough money to get around.

This is not true! Why? As there are rules in every other type of endeavor, there are also rules to traveling inexpensively in Europe . In setting a structure for these rules, we will consider a budget range from $4 to $6 a day as a limit to the student's funds.

Remember, this is the total amount for any one day.

Before we go on, let us examine the reason for this sum.

Unfortunately, it is still a very common idea that trave l in Europe is excessi'vly expensive. It is not. On the other hand, students often they think that they can get by with spending very little money on · traveling.

I would like to discourage this for several reasons. The carefree attitude of "bumming" around Europe , spending as iittle money as poss ible, is often very appe al-

suitable for the austere surroundings of a drama lab. This meant he had to find substitutes for a curtain, a stage, and a proscenium arch, along with other backstage equipment. Complicated scenery changes will have to be made in total darkness McCracken explained. He has divided the stage area into three parts. The set to be used in each act will be illuminated as it is used.

Another difficulty in the set design for the four-act play is that the last act uses the nursery set employed in the first act.

Act II takes place in a pasture on the estate and Act III scenery is for a gay drawing r oom party.

This order, according to White, is very disadvantageous, but McCracken has solved the problems of shifting the scenery out of the way and then bringing it back again.

Old flats from the last production will be utilized to help stretch a lean budget, McCracken said. He does not know where they will get the necessary period furniture . White says he hopes they can find people who will be willing to loan pieces in keep-

ing with the style of the early nineteen hundreds .

Actually, where the furniture comes from is the least of McCracken's worries . His concern is getting his half-inch-tothe-foot scale model of the set transformed into what will appear to be a Russian estate that has seen better days. For McCracken, the decay must be only apparent.

Modern stagecraft demands that deteriorating doors do not unaccountably stick . Along with these obvious mechanics, acomplicated array of hidden hinges, catches, braces, ropes, and switches must be ready to work instantly and noiselessly. This is the part the theatre goer never sees .

Neither will they see Ben McCracken. Not included in the cast of "The Cherry Orchard", Moe racken will be hidden in the darkened loft, experiencing the same tension the cast feels as they wait in the darkness, ready to go on. How they feel after it is all over will depend to a large extent on how well McCracken brings off his unseen performance .

ing to the student. However, this method is neither feasible nor practical. As an example, in my travels in Europe, I spoke with quite a few young persons who were attempting to travel in this manner, and I can say tha t without exception, everyone of them were greatly dis-s atisfi ed at choosing the <~bumming" method. Let's face it, everything takes a little cash. Now, this does not mean that one needs great sums to enjoy the treasures and excitement that is offered.

COSTS OF PLEASURE For instance , it obviously takes money to go to the theatre, to ~~joy the German and I.~!llian operas, to marvel at the priceless collections of the museums, even to do such simple things as take a boat ride in Venice , or visit the forum in Rome. All this is not nearly as expensive as the impression given . It takes a little time and some planning, but it is feasible .

In our self imposed budget of $4 to $ 6 a day, all these endeavors can be enjoyed, on top of the day to day basics of a nice hotel, and three meals a day.

Sound impossible? Here are the facts . A typical day in Rome might run like thls.

fruit, all for the ridiculously low price of $1. 20. On to the Light and Sound Show at the forum . 1'he price Of a ticket to this marvelous show, narrated

by Orson Wells, is $1.50. Then in keeping with your budget, you still have enough to take a bit of refreshment on famous Via Veneto .

Find a chair at one of the many sidewalk cafes on this famous street, and watch the parade of humanity march by.

All this for $6 .00 a dayr

AGENDA FOR ROAMING A hotel room overlooking the beautiful Fountains of Trevi, $1. 60!

Breakfast, Continental style of croissants (moon shaped rolls) and coffee, $. 20. Lunch of antipasto, veal with a large assortment of vegetables, cheese, f ruit and wine, $1.00 . Then an a fternoon visit to the Coloseum, which is free, along with a great number of othe r s ights. Dinne r might consist of a huge plate of spaghetti alla boscaiola (spaghetti with tuna, c heese and mushrooms) a green s alad, and

THE PROOF IS IN THE PRODUCT Let me state for those of you who are still non-believers, that my traveling partner, and myself lived this budget for thirteen months, did exactly what I am telling you about, and still managed to buy gas for the car, which we put 27,000 miles on, and there were few instances when we had to go over the fund limit.

Of course, we each spent our alloted $4 to $6 a day.

Now, a quick word al;>out the methods of transportation to and from the continent.

IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO GO You will have to take my word for the next statement, because I:m going to put a damper on the romantic boat-freighter transportation · idea. But, after much research, talk and consideration, I find that for a student in the west, it is simply impractical to travel this way. Boats ar e slow, expensive, (yes, even the freighters , which so!lletimes run more money than a passage on the Queen Mary); and the red t ape and port taxes can't justify their use.

A jet plane will take you fast and with the minimum of red t ape f9 r around $230. 00 round trip, New York-London. Believe me , flying, for the student, is the only way.

"Dr. Zhivago" review continued Boris Pas ternak himself must have been a very full pe r s on .

His compas sion for man and his inne r s truggles is infinite . In the s imp lest of sc e nes the poet Pas te rnak creates the mos t radi ant be auty. His pe n flows in an ink of splendorous prose and a clarity of vision. A juxtapos itioning of all the e motions is c arefully woven into the struggles and triumphs of Zhivago's s tory.

Writer Pasternak unde r stood the good and the bad in men and what motivates them to do eithe r.

And he grapple d with the values which combine the best of both wor lds. His characte r s knew undaunte d loyalty, unequalled giving, and sublime love along with anxious fear, wracking pain, and utter aloneness .

Dr. Zhivago is a pass ionate s tory .. epic in scope and romantic in c onte nt. But above all, it is an espousal in the belief of man and hi s inherent right to preserve his

own identity of self against any and all odds which may s trive to annihilate him .

Essentially, it is the story of one man, Yuri Zhivago. We meet him first a s an o rphaned child in the Yural farmlands of pre T za ris t Russia. Late r we readof his studies a s a me dical s tudent being introduced to the affluent , a ris tocratic societ y of gala Moscow. Suddenly the city of domes e rupts in intermittent blood baths .

The idealis tic Zhivago is a man of fie r y convic tions, but gentle though vir ile demeano r . He is a who often puts his d r eame r thoughts r e ga rding the betterment of mankind and the goodness of life to wor ds . He does not want to take s ides , but expl oding pre ss ures make it impossible to r em ain passive.

Through the deft delineation of P aste rnak we see a man watch the homeland of his youth

rent with ruthle ss s avagely and me r ciless ims laughte r p r isonment to a s tate beyond r ec ognition. One day he i s a young m an beginning his own family and on the thres hold of a double c aree r as phys ici an and poet, and the next he is a man hunted and alone .

One could become s omewhat bogged down by the political the ories and machinations expounde d upon to great lengths by author Paste rnak, so one must rivet one ' s prime focus upon the nar r ative which revolves around Zhivago and the lives ofthose who entwine signific antly with his.

P as ternak ' s perception ofpeople and his facility to define characte r is s o thorough that eac h individual becomes indelibly imp rinted in the reade r's thoughts .

Each one is so unique in his or her own pe r s onality as to induce the r eade r to marvel how the same author could have c r eate1d each characte r's identity.

Entertainment allindant m county

by JUDY JACK You are missing an opportunity for an evening of stirring entertainment if you fail to attend the San Diego showing of "Othello" starring Laurence Olivier, usually referred to as the best actor of the English speaking people. It is presently held over in an engagement at the Cinerama theatre.

UNSURPASSABLE PERFORMANCE Olivier has pulled out all the stops in an unsurpassable tour-de-force performance of the ill-fated Moor of Shakespeare's classic t ragedy. In the color production of England's National Theatre group, Olivier has added dimension and hew material for contemplation by donning a black face and miming the General as a Negro. The portrait Sir Laurence creates is so thorough in eve ry nuance that one can onl y wonde r in awe at his great ability to c apture even the smallest gesture. He runs the gamut in an explosion of emotions and the viewer is swept along swiftly in an involvement taut with intensity.

Frank Finlay is fine as the scheming Iago, but he is understandably dwar fed

by Olivier's overpowering presence .

Maggie Smith , last seen in "Young Cassidy," is lovely and ingratiating as Desdemona. One finds it difficult to understand how Othello could be so doubting. Camera work is a bit hesitant in its task of adapting the stage work to celluloid. But the acting compensates stupendously for any technical inadequacies.

TWIST OF INGREDIENTS If your mood is more suited to lightness, then you may find the glow of laughter cast from the "Roman Candle" at the Old Globe a gayer way to wile an evening. The plot is a twist of nonsensical ingredients centered upon "Operation Snowball," a big missile project and how the visions of a girl equipped with ESP can throw the t raditional monkey wrencli into the phn of things .

The · story is admittedly found wanting in substance, but the quickness of the players round the edges into a palatable offering.

Priscilla Calderson and Charles Boyd take the leads.

"JULIET OF THE SPIRITS" Foreign cinema buffs will be glad to know that Fede rico F ellini's highly taut "Juliet of the Spirits" has begun its run at the Academy in San Diego.

Mr. Fellini is one of the most original and highly controversial film directors of our era. He is best known for "La Strada," "La Dolce Vita," and "81/ 2."

His latest production stars his wife actress Giulietta Masina. And oddly enough, the film is about the impre ssions Mr. Fellini has rece ive'd of his wife in her own true life PS¥Chological metamorphosis. "8 1/ 2" was a sort of autobiography in which Fe llini turned the came ra on his own c reative soul as a director .

This time he has put the focus on his wife. He has appare ntly r eaped another artistic success because the movie has been named the Best Foreign Film of the Ye ar by both the New York Film Critics and the Golden GlQbe Press Ass oc iation of foreign correspondents .

WAT CH CULTURAL CALENDAR If you have not yet treated yourself to an event at the new Civic The atre, where the acous tics ar e top-notch, keep an eye on the cultural c alendar of San Diego.

The Theatre has b rought s ome of the nation's ve ry finest in e ntertainment to the area . La s t week audiences enjoyed the road show production of "Barefoot in the Park" and we r e thrilled to an encore of standing ovations for the Metropolitan Ope r a's National Company of Puccini's beloved and ever poignant "Madame Butte rfly." Ella Fit zger ald, "the fi r st lady of s ong, " i s rumored to be on the sche dule for a solo conce r t within the month.
