ASB president Bob Thoreson, upon returning from a day of talking to state officials, said he believes that theSacramento leaders understand the problems of junior colleges. Governor Ronald Reagan attended the April 24 luncheon for junior college student government heads at which, Thoreson reports, the main topic was race problems. Other topics were the establishment of a State Board of Junior Colleges similar to the California University Board of Regents, autonomous student government, repeal of the education code relating to the distribution of partisan literature on campus. tuition in junior colleges and Communist speakers on campus. Thoreson and some other ASB presidents registered a protest to the California Junior College Student Government Association (CJCSGA) proposal that the date of Malcolm X's death be a holiday. The resolution was passed at thP- CJCSGA convention held last month.

Staff editorial
Mandatory ASB card ts maJor problem to California JC students By Steven A. Krueger One of the major problems confronting students of this and every other junior college of California is that of mandatory ASB card purchase by all students. An assembly bill for mandatory cards was defeated in committee earlier this year. A similar bill is scheduled to come before the assembly at a later date, however. In recent years, many arguments, both pro and con, have been put forth concerning this issue. The overriding question is : Are mandatory ASB cards indeed necessary to the financial wellbeing of a college? Taxation without representation Opponents of the mandatory ASB card issue have argued that it is a form of taxation without representation, and that education should be free. It is indeed a tax, but with fair and equal representation. Members of the student body holding ASB cards elect the people who apportion their money. Non-holders of cards do not vote, therefore, allowing representation only to those who have a financial interest in their school. Like all taxes, ASB card purchase should be mandatory. Few people like the income tax or the property tax. But it is something everyone must pay. Without property taxes, income taxes or gasoline taxes, we would have no quality schools, defense or highways. No quality functions Likewise, without the mandatory ASB card tax, we will have no quality student government functions. The leaders cannot provide the things students want without money. The only place they can derive that money is from the ASB card sale. Last September, probably less than five per cent of the student body was aware that the purchase · of ASB cards was not mandatory. Of course, it is pure speculation as to how many would or would not have purchasecl.· the $15 card had they known. It is realistic to assume, therefore, that at least 60 per cent probably would not have, in order to save the $15 if nothing else. On the basis of results from Glendale Junior College, the figure could have
"K a 1 e i do s c ope , " spring modern dance happening, is scheduled for next Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening in the dance studio. Performances begin at 8 a.m. Dances of all types done to various music styles will be featured. The choreography is original, some by the students and some by Miss Billie Hutchings, dance instructor. Solo numbers are included. The tickets are $1 for adults and 75 cents for students. Student working for an "A" in any of Miss Hutchings classes should attend the performance. Pe.r formance attendance may count toward absence make-up. Students should attend one of the four performances and see the outcome of our fine dance department that has regulary shown original and outstanding work.
** ** A three fold spring festival is slated to begin on Thursday ln the Art Complex. This student planned activity opens with a student show at 11 a.m. in the Gallery. Simultaneously a chalkin and pot sale will be held in the Art Patio. Prizes will be awarded to the best two chalk works. Some Palomar students in a woodwind and brass quartet, Bossa-Nova type group, a flamenco guitarist and a rock group will perform from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. This is an excellent opportunity
been much greater. At Glendale about four years ago, the ASB president told the students they could turn in their cards and get a refund for ·the unused portion· of their card. Most of the students turned in their cards for the $7.50 refund. The result was chaos and financial collapse of that student government. No tuition required At Palomar, no tuition is required. The only manditory cost is the health fee. If a student drives a car, an additional $5 per year is extracted from his wallet. With the added $15 of an ASB card, it is possible to become enrolled here for a maximum of $25 per year (September to June). The money from ASB cards comes back to the students. It is not used for maintanence of school facilities,purchase of new buses, or the hiring of new teachers. It is used for speakers in the humanity lecture series, for the speech team :for student publications and many other items too numerous to mention here. If ASB cards ·are not mandatory presumably few people will purchase them . Total admission to home athletic events would barely total the cost of the card. (Few people attend every sporting event.) The cost of the card would be outweighed by the cost of each individual benefit to the card holder. Curtailments possible Unless the purchase of ASB cards is made m1p1datory for all full time students, the student government and student services offered at this campus will have to be curtailed for lack of fn11ds. Students at Palomar spend under $200, on the average for their year's education. This includes ASB card , parking and health fees and books. For under $400, a student can obtain an Associate of Arts degree and complete his first two years of college. The cost at a private college or university out of state would be more than ten times that figure . In California, more than five times the amount. With all the mishaps that a lack of funds would entail, it can be readily seen that the upcoming measure before California's state assembly should be adopted making the purchase of ASB cards mandatory in all California junior colleges.

Movie review 'Poor Cow' looks at demi-monde society By Joan Kattelmann " 'Poor Cow' looks at society that has not dropped out . .. it never had a chance to drop in," stated Charles Champlin of the Los Angeles Times about a documentary film showing a slice of British demi-monde life. "It gazes at a segmentofsocietywhich accepts crime, but really only as a device (inadequate and chancy) for evening the odds in the disastrously lopsided game of life," Champlin continued. The film is a reulistic fiction work that becomes documentary in its achievement of sense of real people coping with real problems in real places. The film uses many non-acting people. It was shot on location in and around Battersea section on the south , side of the Thames River. Scene by scene, the film was largely improvised by both the professional and non professional cast. In viewing this work the audience feels like it is a witness to what is happening on the screen instead of being drawn into the act. Reality is present in the first frames which show quitegraphicallythe birth of "poor cow's" son. The scenes show unsentimental anguish of birth complete with screams and hardnosed doctor and nurse in attendance. Poor cow is a girl "The poor cow of 'Poor Cow' is a Cockney girl, tough, flashy, earthy, definately optimistic. She is played with immense and intense credibility by a dazzling blond, Carol White," said Champlin in description. She has been frequently compared to Julie Christie but "has a stronger, earthier, more elemental charm, bolder, and lesscerebral, flashier and less elegant." Her husband is a loutish small time thief who is played aggravatingly real-; isticly by John Bindon. He is arrested once again and imprisoned for several years. Poor Cow struggles alone until she becomes involved with another small-time hood, Terence Stamp. They set up house keeping until Stamp is sent to prison for robbery. "Stamp is remarkably good in an understated performance. As he goes from arrogant crook to defeated, tormented jailbird, we watch a mandecayingbefore our eyes," stated the Times reviewer. Heart belongs to Stamp
After Stamp's imp ri s onm en t "poor cow" works as a bar maid and poses undraped for amateur photographers at a model studio. She has various affairs, but her heart belongs to Stamp. Her husband rejoins her after serving his time, but he is still impossible. Although he represents security for their boy, her son,l she takes the boy and moves out. At the conclusion of the film, poor cow is being interviewed as if for a TV documentary. In this section Miss White was actually improvising answers in character, to questions asked offcamera. - "Poor cow's fiercely protective and joyous loVe for her son is an enduring theme, and so is her boundless if misplaced c.o nfidence that is true love exists,
Grad meeting planned Graduation is only about 40 days away, and commencement procedures are swinging into high gear. All prospective graduates are requested to attend a meeting tomorrow at 11 a.m. in P-32. Friday is the deadline for submitting cap and gown measurements to the bookstore. For a $5 fee, the student will receive an envelope containing a tape measure and an IBM card. The scholar suits will arrive a couple days before graduation.
the future cannot be totally grim," said Champlin. "The implications of the picture are almost uniformly depressing, and probably the more so because 'Poor Cow' has many moments of humor and tenderness, because its luckless inhabitants are seen to have vita 1 it y and rough charm. "We end as we began' "We end, as we began, with contradiction, wondering why a picture which can give us so fascinating and awesomely authentic a slice of life can finally touch our thoughts but not our viscera. "It may well be that the strength of 'Poor Cow' is its weakness: that the lady and her men are so precise and so specific that they'll only intermittently assume larger, everyman dimensions. They are so distinctly they, that we remain only we. "Still, in its director and its star, 'Poor Cow' introduces two important new talents, and it is a film executed with great integrity and skill," concluded Champlin.
Marcee Rethwish is a remarkable girl. She is 14 years old. And she is very mature for her age. A freshman at Granite Hills High School in San Diego, Marcee organized a one.-hour public prayer meeting. About 800 San Diegans attended the event at Balboa Park last Wednesday. The occasion--100 days since the USS Pueblo had been seized off North .Korea. Prayer was held for the safe return of the captured Americans. What made little Marcee Rethwish attempt the job of a public prayer? That's a hard question to answer. Leadership, concern, responsibility-those may be a part of the in depth response to a complex question. Marcee is the kind of person that exemplifies many belonging to this so called younger generation. She cares about this world and wants to do something about it. "What's this world coming to?" someone asked me the other day. Well this world is coming into some pretty big changes. And this world is full of Marcee Rethwishes. These other Marcees are out to do something about the condition of the world in which they live. They are joining the Peace Corps and Vista. They are fighting for civil rights and free speech. They are concerned about and interested in politics. No matter what they believe, they stand firm in their views and determined in their struggle. Marcee Rethwish eJ . .Jmplifies an upcoming breed of people--one which takes life and its problems very seriously. A statement in an academy award winning movie, "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," summarizes the probable future. "These kids are changing the world. It may take them 50 or 100 years, but they are changing it." Marcee Rethwish, and all like l'ler, will play a significant role in that change. Palomar's committee on controversial drugs will present a film, "Narcotics: The Pit of Despair," Wednesday at 11 a.m. in ES-19. All students are welcome.
