The Bishop's Company is a renowned professional repertory troupe now in its fourteenth year whose unique contribut-
to the theater arts is the revival of reliQ.'iOUS drama performed in churches . The Burbank based company was first only an idea conceived by Phylis Beardsley Bokar when, in 1939, she happended to be in a cathedral where a shaft of light descending from a window reminded her that the church was once a theater. However, it was only after the war that she was able to see her dream of revival. In 1952 she held auditions to form the original company. Some two hundred and fifty came but only four interested individuals remained after they discovered that they would exist on the free will offering of church members and the room and board their audiences might give. Those four are with the company still and two of them wll perform in this series. Today the company no longer must struggle in the manner of the early years. The first big break came in 1954 when
they performed at the World Council of Churches held in Evanston, Illiniois . Before the company's appearances there were finished, they had been booked with church groups throughout the country, and today the company's actors no longer subsist on charity alone. Upon joining they are salaried ten dollars a week, and when they become three year veteran they receive a boost to $30 a week.

Southwestern spdls the fun
Area 1 delegates make progress; adjournment cancels completion Representatives from the eight junior colleges in Area I, San Diego County and Imperial Valley, convened Saturday at MiraCosta College. The conference lasted from approximately 10:00 to exactly 4:00. At the end of the ·meeting seven of the eight colleges wished to reconsider the orders of the day. Dissentor Southwestern managed to cause enough confusion that the clock struck 4:00 before a motion could be made to extend the conference a half hour. By this time only 10 of the 21 proposed resolutions had been covered. Leading up to the somewhat disappointing end. the delegates met in a communications assembly hall and were briefed on the day's activities. Dave Ackel man. ~r; e ·i k·r.~ of thr;: CJLtiGA welcomed the students along with Dr. John MacDonald. president ofMiraCosta College. Tile opedng ''welcomes'' were followed by a film, "Sunday," a commentary on a student riot in Washinton Square, New York. The film pointed out students' desire for their rights; the demonstration in Washington Square dealt with the .eight to sing in a public place.
Workshops Workshops followed the general as sembly and were adjourned at 12:20 for lunch. The workshops began again at 1: ~ 0 and resolutions and recommendations were hashed through and sent into the resolutions committee before the 1:45 deadline. Workshops were divided into A and B sections except the president's workshop; and the topics of these divi-
sions were Philosophy and Function of Student Government, Role of Campus Organizations, The Changing Student, and Campus Currents . The workshops broke up at 2:00 and were followed by a 20 minute section caucus. The schools were supposed to decide how they would vote on the issues during this time, but the resolutions were not duplicated in time. A second general assembly began at 2:30 and during this time six resolutions and recommendations were passed.
Resolutions The first resolution passed stated that Area I go .on record as being opposed to conducting concurrently Spring Area 1 Conferences and the Bank of America Awards Program. The Bank of America wanted these two events to be held together, but it was obvious that the delegates didn't have enough time to even cover their own issues, much less be hindered by another group . The resolution was moved by MiraCosta and seconded by SD Evening. A second resolution stated that Area 1 would ask the CJCSGA to amend California Education Code 8453. This amendment would allow any publication to be distributed on junior colleges. It was moved by Grossmont and seconded by Palomar. The third resolution passed was authored by Penny Hill of Palomar. It was a resolution legalizing Palomar's siren (Continued on page 3)
Viet Nam joru1n continuatrn Friday; Mark Violet ap{XJintm moderator A second forum on the topic "Viet Nam--\Vhy Bother?~ is scheduled Friday in F-22 at ll:OO. Replacing Steve Wozniak as student moderator is Mark Violet. An evaluation sheet passed out at the last forum indicated almost unanimous agreemnnt for furthering the discussion of Viet Nam. l\Iany students felt that they were unable to express their views or to develop their ideas in the brief Onf'-hour period during the first forum.
Realizing the tendency of students to. direct their questions to the ~speaker instead of the group as a whole, the foru.m com]Tlittee decided to have no student speaker this week. Roy Archer, political science instructor, will preside as faculty advisor. Student forums will normally be held on a monthly basis. Any suggestions pertaining to contemporary topics will be considered and welcomed.

Two photos stolen jro1n library display Two color exhibits from the $2.000 American Society of Photographers display are missing from the li brary. reports Theodore Kilman, communications department head. The exhibft is on display in the library and in the photography department, F- 24. The two missing photographs were taken off one of the walls in the periodical room last week. A monetary value of $15- $20 is placed on the processing costs of each of the stolen photos. This 'price does not come near the photographers' value of the photos. The traveling exhibit. which has many prints that are over 36 inches wide by 24 inches high, should he on display through the end of the week. However, if there is any more vandalism, the college will be forced to remove the entire exhibit. This is the display that has IJeen at the Seattle World's Fair and its contril>uting photographers are · some of the country's top professionals in this fielcl .
Students invited to submit opinion for guest feature page Nov. 8 On November 8 the TELECOPE ins tends to run a full-page guest opinion feature. The editor invites any student to contribute a commentary for that edition. Current foci of debate is the general topic, and guest writers are encouraged to express their opinions on local , state, national and international subjects. The only limit to the number of commentaries the TELESCOPE can use is dependent on space available. However, there will be only one contribution per student. It would follow, then, that some students would wish to offer a rebuttal to another student's opinion. In this case, those individuals may submit a letter to the editor for the next issue. or, if they wish, they may submit their guest com-
mentary for the next s tudent opinion page. This new policy is an effort to give students the opportunity of expressing the ir views publicly. an opportunity that they might not ha 1·e ·~l sewhere . The TELESCOPE hopes that this first opinion feature page will. make students more . aware of current situations arid more aware of their peers' standing on these i ssues. If this new concept in Palomar College publications communication generates enough interest, theTELESCOPE will continue the section throughout the semester . Depending on the number of responses, the page will be open to student opinion every two weeks or once a month.

"An Involvement With Type and Letters 1956-1966," presented by Robert Matheny, artist, is on display in the Dwight Boem Gallery in the F ine Arts Complex. Russel Baldwin, gallery director, commented on Metheny, "I think he has really developed over the past five or six years. Many artists wouldn't be as great in twenty years, but he has dedication to the letter form. The alphabet is his vehicle for visual expression." Matheny's medium is highly varied in his approach to art. His display features polichrome sculptures 1 acrylic paintings, hook rugs, prints, typography
graphic design and construction. Perhaps the most striking and outstanding factor of Ma theny's show is the use of brilliant color combinations on his pieces. Harry Bliss, art instructor, commented on Mathe ny's color use, "I think the most effective thing is the color use. It is used in a more delightful way than most pop artists." He further stated that the exhibit was arr anged in such a manner that it "is friendly and it makes you want to wander around.'' Baldwin also commented in praise of the show, "I think that it is great! It has a subtle humor that runs through all of the pieces. As you can see, some time it is a
caustic humor, they really mean some- . thing to him." Jane Hashberger. student, enthusiastically related her reaction to Matheny's humor as 'she viewed a piece of his work, ''It just makes my stomach have bubbles." As two students viewed the show for the first time their ,reactions of pleasure, "I think it is exciting and original and the best thing we've had in the gallery .. I love it! I want to make something like them." The entire show put up by a gallery crew of six people: Scott Wood, Bob Bornhoft, Barbra Gross, Elizabeth Nunn, Dennis Ervin. and Edna Speck.
