BACKSTAGE CREW ESSENTIAL
'Shrike' concludes with final weekend run By Tom Anderson Many times the people who work back stage during a play are overlooked . These people are essential, and without them there could never be a production such as"The Shrike" which is currently running in the drama lab. The last two performances of "The Shrike" will be held tonight and Saturday night. "Real " was the word used to describe "The Shrike'' in a recent review in the Telescope. During "The Shrike" Ruth Herman acts as sta11:e director. She is the person who makes sure the actors are on stage at the proper time. There are a number of functions besides giving the actors their cues. The stage manager makes sure that the lights are controled properly, giving the
light men their cues. As well as giving everyone their cues she acts as the person which makes general sound effects. At the proper time during the play she rings the door bell, makes the telephone ring and makes the sound of a door being locked. Adding all of this up, you might say she is the person that keeps things running smoothly. If a ny of the cues were missed of if sound effects weren't made at the right time t he whole play would be thrown off. Through an intercom in the drama lab the stage director gives cues to the people controling the lights from the lighting loft. The loft is located above the audience.
Peter DuPre and Jeff ChamberWorking m a maze of electrical cords these tow ~ain operate all of the lights.
operate twelve dimmer switches which give lighting effects. Since there is no actual curtain in the drama lab the lights are made to act as one. When the lights are out the stage is not visible. The lights are slowly turned on giving the effect of the curtain going up. Jon Sophos acts a house manager. He is in charge of selling tickets, serving punch and the ushers. Sylvia Olcott takes care of the costumes needed for the play. Many times the costumes have to be made from scratch for a play. Changing all hand props is Belita Felgen. She is responsible for the placement of all the small props such as medicine bottles which are used in "The Shrike". When the set crew is through moving everything she makes sure that
everything is in its proper place. The set for "The Shrike" was designed by Mr. Norman Gaskins, techanica1 director of the Speech- Theater Arts department. Assisted by John Rabe, he and a student production staff have built all of the sets. The set is constructed in two sepparate parts. One part is a hospital ward with bars on the windows and the other is a doctor's office. The two sets are spread across a corner of the rectangular drama lab. Since the play centers around the ward in a mental hospital, bars cover the windows and regular hospital beds are used, giving the set a very realistic look. "The Shrike" centers on a frustrated theater · director who is plagued by
an overpowering wife. failing at directing, he tries to commit suicide and once again he fails. He is then placed in a mental hospital, which is the opening of the play. The frustrated director finds himself imprisoned in the ,hospital ward. Believing to himself that he is sane, this situation .p.oes not bother him until his wife enters the picture, darkening his mood considerably. The play has three acts with the curtain going up a 8 p.m. Price of admission is $.50 for those with an ASB card and $1.50 for others. Reservations can be made at the theater -in P-33. "The Shrike" opened October 31st. It is the first production of Buddy Ashbrook's since coming to Palomar.

Red signs will soon be blossoming on Mission Rd. in front of Palomar College when San Marcos Ordinance 68-129 goes into effect. In a four-to-one vote on October 22, the San Marcos City Council passed a measure to prohibit parking on Mission between Pacific St. and the eastern boundary of the junior high school property. The mile-long taboo section takes in all of the frontage of Palomar. In a letter to Dr. John Schettler, city administrator R. T. Hunt confirmed the action.

Unknown to many students, the campus telescopes and planetarium make it possible for people to see sights never sj:len before. All of the planets except Pluto can ;,re seen from t he campus observatory. Although there are two observatories on campus only one is equipped with telescopes . The other awaits mounting of a 16 inch mirror. The mirror was donated to Palomar and will cost $500 to mount according to Mr. Willis. Two telescopes are mounted in the other observatory. One is a Questar telescope designed to watch rockets bla:st off. It cost approximately $1,300 and has a fuse quartz mirror. The other telescope is a Unitron four inch refractor. A ten inch reflector is on the same mounts. The telescopes are equipped with timing and photo equipment. This equipment is sometimes used to measure the time and brightness of occultions, which are when stars are eclipsed. A short wave radio is available so the time of occultions can be checked with Navy Observatory. The rings around Saturn and the moons of Jupiter are clearly visible through the telescopes. Mr. Willis commented the scopes are used by astronomy and celestial navigation classes. Astronomy majors learn to handle the telescopes. Every Wednesday night the observatory is open to the public during or after the planetarium lecture. Dave Williams, assistant, operates the observatory for people Wednesday night. According to Mr. Willis, peopl e can come in and view most any thing they want. Officially opened in April 1965 , the planetarium has been viewed by 50,000
planetarium
people to date. Dean Coutts and Mr. Willis run the planetarium, giving lectures and demonstrations to people ranging from elementary school to a class in celestial navigation. According to Dean Coutts, a person can never see as many stars in the sky as he can in the planetarium. This is because of obstructions in the earth's atmosphere such as smog or clouds which limit your vision. The planetarium can take you back in time to 3000 B. C. or in the future 3000 years by creating a sky for any place on earth any time within this span. The star sphere, the machine that creates the image of the stars, has some 3000 holes in it in the same position as the stars in the sky. The star sphere projects the images of stars and planets onto the concave ceiling creating the sk:y. Mr. Barlow ofthe art department ma:de a horizon for the planetarium which is exactly the same as the horizon as viewed from the planetarium roof. With the use of auxilar y projectors, eclipses, the aurora, lightning and cloud forms can be projected onto the sky making the planetarium quite realistic. The planetarium is used extensively in astronomy as well as in physics, physical science, and celestial navigation classes. A Wednesday night lecture series is offered at the planetarium. The lectures are held weekly with the topic changing the first Wednesday of every month. Some of the topics include: "Pagent of Light" for November; "The Christmas Star" for December; "Are We Alone?" for January and "Man in Space" for February. The lectures are open to the public with the sky the limit.
The fascinating story of Iceland and its people will be the subject of a presentation by Dr. John D. Schettler at 11 a.m. , Wednesday, in Room F-22. Alpha Gamma Sigma is sponsoring this first of a two-part program. The second and concluding presentation, "The Literature oficeland" will be given by Dr. Schettler on November 27th.
Vets Club honors war dead today Today at 11 a.m . at the flag pole the names of two former Palomar students killed in the line of duty in Vietnam will be added to a plaque, which already includes the names of seven other fatalities . The names of Sgt. Michael W. Melvin and Sgt. 4 Harry Kim, both formerly of Vista, will be added. Dr. Frederick Huber, president of Palomar College, will give a short memorial talk. Invocation will be by Rev. Geoffrey Bridger, OFM, of San Luis Rey. The college band will play in honor of the war dead, under the direction of Burrill Monk. The names of the other war dead are: Lt. James M. Mitchell, U.S.M.C., killed in action 1965; LCDR. John W. Tunnell, U.S.N., 1966; PFC Thomas Durbin, U.S.A., 1967; Capt. D. H. Butterfield, U.S.A.F., 1967; Lt. John Paul Marken, U.S.M.C.; Sgt. Eugene Tactay, Jr., U.S.A. 1966; and PFC Stanley Behm, U.S.A., 1968. The inscription above the names reads simply: "In honored and loving memory of Palomar students and alumni who gave their lives in defense of our country." The names of Lt. Marken, Sgt. Tactay, and PFC Behm, as well as the two names to be added today, are included on a second plaque at the flag pole. It was added due to the number of names which were added to the honor roll of Vietnam casualties.
Bravura to have student editor Approval of the appointments of Steve Schneider and Cece McPherson, editors of the Telescope and Focus magazine, respectively, were made at last Tuesday's meeting of the Student Publications Committee. Action was not taken on a third point which would specify the editorial responsibilities of the Telescope. The Publications Committee, a seven member board consisting of four faculty members and three students, was originally adopted to deal with the affairs of the campus publications. Three students on committee
Headed by Dean Virgil Bergman, the current committee consists of Mr. Gene Jackson of the English Department, and Mr. Fred Wilhelm and Mr. James McNutt of the Communications Department. The three students are Mary Chimarusti, Frank Mott, and Steve Schneider. The students are appointed semesterly by the ASB council. Mott did not attend the meeting. It was pointed out that the late date of the meeting would make any appointment changes for either of the two staffs extremely difficult, since both publications have been operating since the opening of schooL It was recommended that, in the future, approval of the editors of the two publications would take place as soon as their appointments have been made. Wilhelm, advisor to both the Telescope and Focus, is responsible for making these appointments. Clark questions a rticles
Alleged "misinformation" in certain Telescope articles brought a number of written questions from ASB president, Kim Clark. The questions, presented by Bill White, ASB judicial chairman, included one that asked the administrative committee whether the "misinformation" would be allowed.
generally agreed that the "misinformation" is not allowed in any publication but sometimes slipped through. No formal action was taken and Clark was advised to re-write the question and provide examples of such "misinformation".
Summer 1968 Focus distributed today Combining the efforts of Palomar's Graphics and Communications departments, the Summer issue of the campus feature and pictorial magazine, Focus, is being released today. Under the editorship of Penny Hill, a 1967 Palomar graduate, the magazine was produced as a project mainly of the Summer session, but due to the small size of the staff and a lack of printing facilities, it was printed and assembled by the fall semester's staff. Completion of the belated issue was accomplished under the supervision of Cece McPherson, Focus' new editor. Miss Me Pherson worked on the issue herself and wrote much of the copy for it. Featured in the magazine are stories on last year's ASB president. Bob Thoreson, this year's president Kim Clark, as well as photo stories of various campus activities from a semester ago. The magazine is free to holders of ASB cards and copies may be obtained in the student union area. Because it's a limited edition, it will be circulated on a first-come, first- served basis.
Men students sponsor dance tomorrow night Students will rock out to the beat of the ''Corduroy Cloud'' and the "Shreaded Wheat" Saturday night in the student union. The dance is being sponsored by the Associated Mens Students. All Palomar College students are invited.

Comets host grid doubleheader Palomar hosts San Berdoo; San Marcos tackles Marian "They've got three 10 - second sprinters in the starting lineup," commented head foo tball coach Mack Wiebe. "They are fast and do a lot of things well.". The "they" Wiebe was referring to was the San Bernardino College Indians, the Comets' Saturday night foe. Following a 26- 21 win over Cypress College last Saturday night, the Palomar gridders will host San Berdoo at Memorial Field in Escondido at 8 p.m. A prep tiff featuring San Marcos and Marian high schools, beginning at 6:30 p.m. s tarts a grid-iron doubleheader. The Comets, now 4-2 for the season, are only four points removed from a perfect slate. The two defeats, at the hands of Grossmont and Citrus, erased most of the hope for a conference title for the locals but wins over San Berdoo, Riverside an'd Southwestern could give Palomar a respectable 7- 2 season. Palomar's defensive unit sparked the win over Cypress, accounting for three of the four Comet touchdowns. Linebacker Kevin Kelly accounted for two of the TD's within a 15 second span in the fourth quarter as he returned pass interceptions 22 and 35 yards. Ken Lawton ran back another interception 31 yards for a touchdown and the Comet's big fullback, Ramese Faleafine came through with the offense's only score on an e ight-yard pass from Jerry Ward. Trying desperately to score, the Palomar eleven missed four field goal attempts against the Chargers. "We're going to have to do something about scoring more points," said the Comet mentor. "It's ridiculous to move the ball at will between the 20 yard lines and not be able to score." The Comets picked up 388 yards total offense in the game. Wiebe said that Palomar will be running into a speedy football team this Saturday night. Jerry Ward will probably get the call to face the Indians at quarterback. He
will be joined in the backfield by Hanker Jack Ashby and Faleafine at the fullback spot. Louie Ruiz will probably take over at the tailback position for starter Merle Gathers . Against the Chargers, Gathers picked up 60 yards on seven carries and a banged up knee. On the bright side , however, Wiebe hopes to get 210 pound Mark Simunavich back into his starting right guard slot. Simunavich has been sidelined with a shoulder separation. Two Comet defensive starters, end Burdell Henry and defensive back Mark Eldridge will also return to the starting squad after a three week layoff. Eldridge has been limited to kicking duties due to a shoulder separation and Henry has missed the Chaffey game and saw onlY partial action against Cypress because of illness. With a 2-2 conference record, Palomar will have to win over the Indians in order to keep what title aspirations they have alive . San Bernardino will be piloted by either Tom Barnes or Kieth Bailey. Bailey, a 190 pound freshman, is considered the better of the two. Although not as experienced as Barnes, he likes to run and throw s hort passes. Barnes on the other hand is an excellent passer and can throw the long ball. On the receiving end will be split end Larry Diggs, a 9.8 sprinter and a real threat with the ball. At the tailback spot, will be Donny Mitchell. The 170 pound sophomore has been hurt the past two games but is a tough runner and has good speed . If he doesn't see action, it is possible his chores will be turned over to Charles Wooten. Wooten, at 5 ft. 9 in. and 185 pounds is fast but is not as tougt Defensively, the Indians are led by Chris Grenfel, team captain and left end . Playing next to Grenfel on the line will be 262 pound Dean Yelton at left tackle.
Archers win regional; White iust misses record Lost among the bales of hay in a far off corner of the campus, Palomar's archery team goes right on winning. Last week the Comet bowmen crept quietly off to the University of Arizona for the Southwest Regional Intercollegiate Archery Meet, stayed there for a while, and then snuck back to San Marcos to enshrine another first place trophy on the back shelf of the display case in the dome. Without fanfare or publicity the archers defeated such schools as Cal State San Fernando, Cal State Long Beach, University of Arizona and UCLA while amassing a¡ team total of 8308 points for the victory. Leading the Comets and returning for a second season were sophomores Dan White (2218 pts.) and Frank Pallan (2156). They were followed by George Plocic (1969) and Paul Mears (1965). Individual awards went to White, who captured fourth place, and Pallan who nabbed the seventh place spot. White also chalked up a score of 767 in the Chicago round, just 33 points short of the national record of 800. Other members of the team include Jerry Olmstead, Tim Costanzo , Jim Shephard and Gale Cavallin. The distaff side of the squad includes Maggie Duffy, Terry Gibson and Judy Gibbs. In winning the Southwest Regional, Palomar has qualified for the US National Intercollegiate Meet in May. Last
year the Comets placed third in the National, losing only toBerkeleyand Michigan State. The team, which was organized just three years ago, is coached by Mildred Ayers who has piloted the squad to the front ranks of college archery from the time it was formed. Cal State San Fernando will be the Palomar team's next opponent on December 23 at San Fernando.
Wrestlers face Cerritos Nov. 27; outlook 'good' Anybody for a half-nelson? The wrestling season will begin soon as the Comets prepare for their first meet at Cerritos College in Norwalk Nov. 27. Tony Lynds, head coach of the Palomar mat men, said that the outlook for the season was a good one, especially in the heavy-weight division. In the 177 lb. c lass is returning league c hamp, Tim Turner, who promises to be one of the high spots of the squad. From Vista comes Frank Barnhart in the 191 lb. division who placed second in the county last year. Also joining the Comet grapplers is Hawaiian heavyweight champ, Chuck Weise. In the lighter divisions, Coach Lynds will be looking to such men as Fran:k Peterson, Portland transferee Mike Choy, Al Vilches, Tom Turner, Ray Rivers and Jan Mongoven. Lynds said that the team's major problem now is caused because a large number of the wrestlers are also football players. Since the wrestling season starts only a week after the last football game, said Lynds, it doesn't leave much time to get the players in shape to wrestle . Lynds pointed out that most of the larger schools do not allow a student to go out for both football and wrestling in the same year.
Scenes like these will be seen at the up-coming Palomar Tournament. Here, Pasadena City College star George Trapp
Talent- heavy Pasadena favored as pre-tournament cage selection (Ed. note--This is the second in a series of articles on teams entered in the lOth Annual Palomar College Tournament, Dec. 4, 5, 6, 7, ) The pre-tournament favorite has to be the "Lancers" of Pasadena City College. Coach Dan Ayala, who has taken over for the departed Jerry Tarkanian, possesses one of the greatest squads ever assembled by a community college.

Publicity Code adopted; provides new regulations Following heavy revtswn, Palomar's new publicity code was adopted last Monday by the student council. The measure, which was approved by a wide margin, provides new regulations for on-campus advertising and publicity. ASB President Kim Clark explained the much-amended code. "As it was originally proposed, no one could approve publicity except the publicity chairman, commissioner, or the publicity committee. As it was passed Monday, each representative to the committee can approve his c lub's publicity." At Wednesday's meeting of the pub-
dunks one against Imperial Valley at l ast year's tourney. Pasadena is favored to take the crown this year.
licity committee, chairman Judy Anddrykowski went over the code with the representatives of the various c lubs on campus. It was decided that all publicity which is displayed on campus would be marked by each club's representative. In this way it would be obvious as to whether or not the publicity had been approved. Each representative has his own mark which he can place on the publicity. In the beginning the code stated that all publicity would have to come through the publicity committee. The revised code allows the clubs to regulate their own publicity. Chairman of the publicity committee Judy Andrykowski said that she thinks the new code will work out. Before the new publicity code was written there were virtually no restrictions as to what publicity could be . displayed on campus.

Lynds went on to say that he could use more strength in the middleweight divisions and that he is looking for likely prospects in the 147 to 167 lb. category. "We really do need more people to come out in the middleweight division. We have people right here on this campus who are good wrestlers but who just aren't out."
