cafeteria. Mrs. Coulter is the Food manager of the cafeteria and snack bar.
Manager relates problems in directing school cafeteria , snack bar By Ken Kline What would Palomar be like without a cafeteria or a snack bar? Few students would care to find out. And as long as Mrs. Alice Coulter is food manager, they needn't worry, Mrs. Coulter began her career in lunch programs as a part-time helper in elementary school. In 1954, she became food manager of Escondido High School and in 1955 was hired as Palomar manager by then-president Phil H. Putnam. "l still regard my job as a great challenge," she remarked, "and I really · enjoy it. " As food manager Mrs. Coulter is responsible for creating the menus, purchasing equipment and hiring and firing as the case may be. "However,_ most of my employees have been with me 3-1 4 years," she remarked. "we have few turnovers." "Currently, the cafeteria-snack bar employs 10 women, one night manager and five to eight student helpers. "We always have to cut down on our payroll during the second s e m e s t e r though, Mrs. Coulter said, "since the· students simply don't spend as much money then." She also mentioned that the salaries are all paid out of the receipts. "We receive absolutely no district or government aid," she said. •we start with nothing in September and we usually end up with nothing in June." Since the start of the first semester, the food complex has taken in close to $90,000 a figure which should swell to about $100,000 by the end of June. "We serve about 2,000 to 2,500 students per day," Mrs. Coulter commented. "That's around $500-$600 a day." "1 remember the day of the bomb scare," she added. "It was at the height of the lunch hour, and all of a sudden, there came this announcement to clear out in 20 minutes. We had hamburgers on the grill and pizzas in the oven. I'd say we lost $300- $500 that day." She also pointed out that the hot food line serves about 300 on Monday,wednesday and Friday, while it serves only 300 on Tuesday and Thursday. The evening plate serves 30-45. Although the food is purchased about a week ahead of time, it is always prepared on the day it is served. "All doughnuts and bread are fresh every day," Mrs . Coulter said . "We pick them up about two hours after they ' re baked." We try to come as close to home cooking as possible,she added. "We use small amounts, not the usual institution-size tubs." The food is purchased from wholesalers such as Hostess, Central Meat, Palomar Foods and three to four other ven-
ders. Mrs. Coulter noted that although Palomar buys vast quantities of various ingredients, she emphasized that no mixes of any kind are used. She said that the vending machines by the business wing are not connected with the regular food complex, but are placed there only for the convenience of the students. Palomar's twin semesters may occupy nine months of the year, but the job of food manager an obscure but indispensable one, is an 11 month job. It certainly is no job from twelve to one with an hour off for lunch.
Seven one-act plays written by Frank White's playwrighting class and one by an English · instructor will be performed over the next two weeks in the Drama Lab. The plays will be presented on a one-a day schedule beginning Monday at 11:10 a.m. The plays involve 37 actors, eight directors and 27 technicians. Admission is free to students, faculty and public. " I think this is a very interesting experience because it gives theplaywright a good chance to see and hear his play in production," White stated. "This is the way a playwright learns to write plays." he continued. "You don't know what you have written until you have seen and heard it." The one-act plays will mark the last connection that drama instructor White will have with the Palomar theater as he is leaving for Hollywood to seek work as an actor. White has been chairman of the Theater Arts Department since its inception in 1965 . During his time here he has directed students in such productions as "King Lear," "Oedipus Rex,• and the latest offering, • Mother Courage and Her Children. • "I want to get back to my own acting rather than teaching other people how, or directing, • White commented. • I don't want to do any directing for at least two or three years. Directing is a terribly nervous strain." White will be best remembered for his December presentation of Dickens' "Christmas Carol. • Vernon Ashbrook from Escondido High will be taking over White's duties in the drama department in the fall. On Monday "9022 Harratt• will be presented. The play was written by Scott

Zoologists capture specimens
Students go surfing zn desert •
By Ken Kline Have you ever opened a flashlight to find :Lt full of scorpions? How many times have you tried sliding down sand dunes on a surfboard? If neither case occurs frequently, it may be because the Palomar Zoology Department makes only one expedition per year. A recent three-day visit was taken to the Glamis desert, so named for the bustling metropolis which graces that region 30 miles east of Brawley. Whether Glamis deserves a spot on the map is debatable, especially when one considers the fact that the average traveler will miss it entirely.
involves walking around kicking bushes until one or more fringe-toed lizards leap out. After inspiration for this activity had dimmed, the group adjourned to the canal where everyone enjoyed the dubious pleasure of swimming in the graywater, loaded with such tidbits as broken glass, tangled weeds and assorted dead rats. That evening, Bostic instructed the students on how to set traps. Another nocturnal project was "running the road," a process which consists of driving slowly up and down the paved roads and scanning the illuminated area
It sits astride the railroad tracks, a trash-surrounded shack labeled the Glamis Store fronted by two ancient gas pumps on the south; and on the north, several vintage-unknown piles of driftwood that serve as shelters for the maybe 10 inhabitants. The only other domestic denizens of the "town• are a pair of dogs that may have been kicked by General Custer.
for night creatures . Sidewinders, sand snakes, scorpions, rats and several varieties of lizards were seen. Many new methods and uses of equipment were employed by the novice zoologists, usually by accident, but always by necessity. A frustrated birdhunter, unable to snare his elusive prey, waited for it to fly across the road, whereupon he punched the engine and bagged the bird with a headlight. Others, running out of specimen bags, utilized pillow cases, dirty socks and flashlights in which to deposit their catches. The large numbers of scorpions induced many to sleep off the ground, resulting in a weird array of roof-top perches and makeshift cots. Palomar was not alone on the desert. Wednesday morning, world-famous herpetologist and author, Dr. R. C. Stebbins, 62, of U.C. Berkeley, visited the camp. Armed with a snake-snatching stick in one hand, a bottle of beer in the other and a week's beard on his face, he inquired as to the whereabouts of a "Doctor Boswick."
The 28 adventurers, led by zoology professor Dennis L. Bostic, left Tuesday morning. Around noon, the light vehicle caravan stopped near the Desert View Tower on Highway 80 to hunt for chuckwallas, large vegetarian lizards, second only in size in North America to the Gila monster. When alarmed, the chuckwalla will scurry into a crevice between two rocks and proceed to blow itself up by swallowing air, thus making extraction virtually impossible.
Brandishing thoughts of future favors, "Dr." Bostic graciously consented to donate many of the specimens which Stebbins had been unable to capture. The whole group then fanned out to locate addition a 1 specimens for Dr. Stebbins.
The future desert ecologists later reassembled in the sand dunes five miles east toward Glamis where they received an introduction to the sport of "fringetoed napping." This particular activity
In addition to aiding the desert ecology class at Berkeley, the expedition brought back enough specimens for an exhibit terrarium and for individual student projects.
While most were frantically chasing lizards all over the desert, one group merely waited for one lizard to crawl into an old can. Kent Jacobsen prepares a snake for display following a recent three-day zoology expedition into the Glamis desert.
as it is threatened with destruction when the son brings home a foreign bride. On June 4 "Goosebernes" written bv, Carole S. Gill is scheduled. It is a tale of the imaginary kingdom, Stachelbeere, and its fun-house mirror inhabitants who have all their problems solved by sheer wizardry. "A Fine Sense of Execution" written by Jim Strong will be performed on June 5. It is a melodrama involving a psychotic girl and her egocentric mother and sympathetic father. "Rosemary" by Debbie Hayward will be the final production of the one-act plays and will be presented on June 6.

Hartman takes top honor at spring awards banquet Randy Hartman, track and cross country star, was named the school's athlete of the year at the Palomar athletic awards banquet Wednesday night. John Tushaus, ex-Comet and the American record holder in the javelin at 284 feet, was guest speaker at the event in the Palomar Student Union. Hartman, a sophmore from Orange Glen High, will attend UCLA next year on a full NCAA scholarship. He was the Pacific Southwest Conference cross country champion last fall and just last Saturday ran the fifth fastest two-mile ever by a junior collegian, 8:59.2, in the Southwestern California Junior College finals. Other major award winners were Sam
Blacock, outstanding athlete-scholar and Neil Gudgeon, sportsmanship trophy. Letters were given for spring sports and other awards made by baseball coach Jim Clayton, track coach Doc Marrin, golf coach Ward Myers and archery coach Miss Mildred Ayers. Meyers presented awards for the absent Ray Love for tennis. Most valuable awards went to Tom Ries (track), Ernie Oliva (baseball), Gudgeon (golf), Bob Simpson (tennis) and Jim Kinley (archery). Other baseball award winners were Don Nelson (most improved), Mike Garver (most inspirational) and Jack Ashby arid Gil Pumar (co-captains) .

Gudgeon places sixth in state golf match Comet golf ace, Neil Gudgeon, is California's sixth best junior college golfer after Monday's State Finals at Santa Maria. In stroking a 75-71 respectively, Gudgeon placed right behind the leaders and only two strokes away from the number one golfer in the state. The close scores in the tourney were as follows; first place and second place, 144: third and fourth place, 145; fifth place, 146 and Gudgeon's 146 for sixth place. The scores were for 72 holes, par being 144. Although Gudgeon is rated sixth at the time, there is a chance he may become the number five state golfer as there will be a play-off for fifth and sixth place. The Comet five, Phil Stoewer, Zem Hopkins, Gary Etheredge, Tom House and Gudgeon, averaged a remarkable 79.9 percent average per golfer in the day's finals. Gudgeon was backed by such fine scores as Stoewer's 162,
Hopkins ' 167, Etheredge's 160 and House's 164. San Jose City College captured the top honors of the meet with a 761 followed by El Camino's 762 and Pierce's 766 for third place. Southwestern's 783 and MiraCosta's 795 were the best area team scores.

Wiebe sees exciting '68 grid team With the spring sports practically over, coach Mack Wiebe and assistants are looking with optimism at the coming football season. The Comets will compete in the new Southeastern Conference and according to Wiebe, "the overall strength of the league will be stronger. We'll have seven tough games."
But, the Comets should field an exciting team, with most of its lettermen returning -- led by quarterback Rocky Lucia, fullback Merle Gathers and flanker Jack Ashby. In addition, Wiebe said, "We'll have the most outstanding group of high school seniors coming here since I 1 ve been here" (two years, one as assistant). He also was pleased at the community feeling of the coming season. "There will be competition for every position," promised the head coach, expecting 8085 players to try out for the team. 1968 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE September 21 at Mira Costa September 28 at Glendale, Arizona October 11 *at Grossmont October 19 *Citrus here October 26 *Chaffey here November 2 *at Cypress Nove mber 9 *San Cernardino Valley November 16 *at Riverside City November 23 *Southwe stern here *---Southeastern Football Conference games.

sored the most valuable player award; Ernie Oliva, MVP; Mike Garver, most inspirational; C. c. Gephart, sponsor of most inspirational trophy; Gil Pumar, co-captain ; Jack Ashby, co-captain; and Don Nelson, most improved. The dinner was held at the Student Union.
Sunday the staff is hosting the area gridders who intend to attend Palomar for a "Hamburger Feed" at 4 p.m. Last year the Comets finished with a 3-4-2 season record and 2-2 Pacific Southwest Conference slate. The highlight of the season was a 7-6 victory over Arizona Western's national champions. This year the squad will leave San Diego City and Mesa in the PSC and with Southwestern and Grossmont, join Citrus, Chaffey, Cypress, San Bernardino Valley and Riverside City for the new Southeastern Conference. All other sports will stay in the PSC until fall, 1969, when the Southeastern Conference will include all sports and be composed of the same teams, except Cypress. Chaffey is the largest college in the new conference with an enrollment of 9,000 . Citrus compiled a 9-1 record last year and San Berdardino is noted for its strong football teams. A trip to Glendale, Ari zona, and game against rival MiraCosta are the nonconference games.
their results won't be counted in the team scoring. Trestrail had a toss of 180-2 Saturday and has a lifetime best of 198-8, eighth in the n at ion for junior colleges this year. Fister's mark in the two-mile was the fourth best ever in the event for junior colleges . The top four runners broke the meet record of 9:02. 2 set last year by Santa Monica's Ole Oleson and the top five broke the stadium record of 9:06.0 set by Dick Krenzer of Los Angeles Valley in 1963. Hartman's mark was the third best in· the national junior college ranks this year. Bill Inglehart of Golden West was third in the race, his time of 8:59. 6 being ninth on the all-time list. Neill Duggan of Hancock has the junior college record of 8:54.0 in 1966 in the West Coast Relays. He alero has the third best time, 8:57.8 made the same year. He's now competing for USC. Rick Fox had the old Palomar record in the two-mile, a 9:14.4 established last season. Fox ran 4:11.2 in the mile Saturday, but got only fifth place and failed to qualify. Mike Mullins of Pasadena City College won the even in 4:09.3. Comet Tom Ries ran sixth in the 120 high hurdles with a 14. 9.
