irrelevant,' speech here
IS
"Last November, the fewest votes cam e from the 21-29 age group, unfortunately proving that many of today's young people are coming to feel that gove rnment is irrelevant", Jesse Unruh told an audience of 400 Friday night in the Dome. "A career in government today ranks among the least desirable to college graduates, because they don't feel opportunities are provided which use their education and talents to the best advantage", he said . "And, worst of all, government is unresponsive ." A member of the California Assembly since 19 54, Unruh served as Speaker
from 1961 until last November when he was ousted following loss of the majority by Assembly Democrats. "Our conce rn should not be that an effort is being made in government, but for the quality of that effort", he said. He cited the fact that many state legislators spend much of their time on "case work" help fo r constitue nts in instances where the proper agencies have been ineffective. "The physical sciences are outdistancing the social sciences today because we have removed the heresy and limitations once placed upon them," Unruh stated. "It is sad to note that, in spite of the new facts that have come to light in the social sciences, we r efuse to yield our

New English course for spring to deal with motion pictures Looking for a differe nt and exciting course for the coming semester? Go to the movies. Pending board approval today, E nglish 33, The Flim as Graphic Art, will be a dded to the curriculum for the spring semester here. Incorporating Palomar's highly acc laimed film series , the three-unit course will atte mpt to supply students with the critical skills necessary for an intellegent appreciation of t he motion picture as a fo rm of art. Mr. Richard Peacock, instructor of the course, said that the class will view a different film every other week. In the a lternate week the c lass will discuss what they have seen with the accent on such aspects as theme, characterization and visual beauty. Movies already scheduled in the series are "This Sporting Life", "The Kitchen" , "Come Back Africa", "Grand Illusion", "The Entertainer", and "The Mark" with two more titles to be added for the month of May. Commenting on the avant-ga rde course, Mr. Peacock said, "This is a
very exciting direction that the colle ge is taking. The motion picture may well become one of the most significant andrelevant art forms of the last half of our century. "This is only the first in a series of four classes that will be offered in the film. Hopefully, these will generate a greater appreciation for the film and might even lead some to consider the motion picture as a major." Further, Mr. Peacock said that there was an obvious need for such courses in that there is more interest in the movies by the general public than the other visual or literary a rt fo rms but that the motion picture has long been ignored as a suitable area for academic study. Mr. Peacock said that the class should be fun and exciting but he emphasized that this will by no means be a snap course. The instructor pointed out that grades will be based on such mudane considerations as completion of assigned r eadings, outside research and writing assignments as well as class participation.
Choir to present festival The Palomar College concert choir and chamber singers will present a "Festival of Choral Music ," at 7:30 p.m. this Friday in the Student Union. The colle ge music department is dedicating the program to the city of
'Old Lady,' 'Telephone' well done; • twin bill program a pleasure to VIe W By Steven A. Krueger Last year, the theater arts department t r ied something new called "Mother Courage and He r Children". The play was different in language and idea, and not really very pleasant to view. This year, the theate r arts department again is trying something differe nt than anything done here before. This time, it is a double bill, two mini-musicals, pres ented on the same program and for the same price , and it is extremely pleas ant to view. "The Telephone " and "The Old Lady Shows Her Medals" are the two plays, and they are well worth the adm ission price . "The Telephone" takes place around the turn of the century in Paris. Young Ben, played by Don O'Rourke, is frus trated in his effort to propose to a beautiful Luci, played by Barbara Mayfield, by her te l ephone. Everytime the poor guy starts to tell her of hi s love, the phone rings and she is off on a trivial conversation with 1) a girl friend, 2) a disgruntled ex-boyfriend, and 3) another girlfriend. Finally Ben gives up and leaves, unnoticed by Luci as she is well stuck on the telephone. Ben tries one last effort, though, and calls her to propose. She a ccepts, and they s ing on, to where he must go to catc h a train. She stops him. She asks him to remember something of her's while he is away . Her lips? Her hands? Her eyes? No, her telephone num ber! The set for both "The Telephone" and "The Old Lady" were d.esigned by Norman Gaskins, technical director of the drama department and constructed by the stagecraft class . Both productions were directed by students. Miss Mayfield, beautiful Luci in the production, has a beautiful, full , clear singing voice. She sings in the best operatic style for this musical, which is a
m1m-opera with no spoken _lines. Don O'Rourke began his first scene last Wednesday a little nervously, but he firmed up and demonstrated his excell ent voice as the 25 minute production continued . "The Telephone" is a delightful event to prelude the main fa r e, "The Old Lady Shows Her Medals." After a brief intermission, the first thing most spectators will notice is a huge set where before had been a plywood wall. This is the set of the World War I musical-comedy- tragedy. Mr. Gaskins designed a tremendous set , authentic and realistic. If it looks fam iliar, it is because it is the platform of the l ast play, "The Shrike". All the costumes in "The Old Lady" were made by students, wi th the lone exception being the authentic "Black Watch" uniform of the soldier. This was rented from a commercial establishment. When the lights come on, you may have to remind yourself that the actresses are 18 to 20 year old students only made up to look like aging scrubwomen. Jim Southers stars as the brave soldier from the trenches. Chloe Damus is Mrs. Dowey. Other players include Steff Sarph, Jeanette Des Ermia, and Jonellen Goddard, as scrubwomen and Larry Whitten as Rev. Wilkenson. The play opens with four scrub women seated around a table enjoying tea, disc uss ing their sons away in the a rm y. They each play upon the role of each of their son's regiments. One lauds the trench fighters, another the air force , another the RHA, and Mrs. Doweyproudly c laims the "Black Watch" r egiment as her own. The "Black Watch" regiment is one of the most famous Scottish "kiltie" regiments in history, from Wate rloo to India, through both World Wars. Suddenly the Rev. Wilkenson interrupts them and tells Mrs. Dowey that her son is upstairs. She shudders, and we find out that she has "adopted" the
trooper from a newspaper photo showing a group of kilties. The soldier enters, all six foot four inches of him, and confronts the scrub women. Anyway, the play continues and the woman and trooper eventually grow in friendship until the day he is to leave. Then he asks to be her son. She agr ees a nd, fo lks, there isn't a dry eye in the place when he l eaves fo r the front. It isn't often that sophisticated college students can be driven to tears, but thi s scene does it to many girls and more then one male in the audience. "The Old Lady Shows Her Medals" is just about the best dramatic ve nture yet undertaken by the theater arts department. Special credit should and must go to those in c harge of make- up for the scrub women. Their work shows in the old, gnarled faces of the young girls playing the old hags . Students were the drivi ng force behind both plays. Dave Jones and John Rabe, ·members of the stagecraft class, were technical directors for "The Old Lady". Greg Krueger was construction supervisor and technical director of "The Telephone". Sylvia Olcott and Belta Felgen are in charge of costumes and props, with Michael O'Rand the designer of the lighting for "The Old Lady" staging. Lighting was hung by Jeff Chamberlin and Gregg Slivikoff. The most unsung heros of both productions will be the two pianists who accompany the production. Sue Mayfield plays the constant music of "The Telephone" (flawless ly) and Orv Harris, complete with his own resplendent entrance and final bow, played the catchy and melancholy tunes of "The Old Lady" . Curtain is at 8 p.m. tomorrow night a nd Thursday, with the concluding performance Saturday night. If the word gets out that this fine show is at Palomar, it might be wise to call for reservations. Prices are $.50 for student body card holders and $1.50 for the others.

traditions ,become flexible or try to communicate." Unruh said that he does not understand the opposition to lowering the voting age to 18. Only 4.8 pe rcent of the population in California is in the 18- 21 age group a nd "even if they were all radicals , although polls show them politically e quall y divided with the rest of the population, we needn't i;>tand in fear of an immediate r evolution. "We have an obligation to show an act of good faith in our young people by opening the decision- making processes to them, he said. "Most of the great enthusiasm shown in the McCarthy and Bobby Kennedy campaigns last year came from young people who could not vote, but they proved to the mselves and the nation that they do have a voice which can be heard politically." In referring to allocation of state funds to projects which he considers less important than education, Unruh said he thinks "our sense of priority is very much 'out of whack'". "For example , we spend 18 million dollars on a new state fair this year which lost money , while denying funds for construction of additional classrooms for state colleges and universities. "We also refused two million dollars to provide counsellors in the State Dept. of Employment to help secure summer jobs for students who want to work. We tell our kids to stand on their own two feet and not ask for handouts, and then do not do our part to he lp provide jobs." He also cited 20 million dollars that g_oes annually for agricultural research, "the only industry I know of that gets this indirect subsidy", while 14 million was refused to provide for additional readi ng teachers. Asked to summarize the Reagan administration in the question-and-answer period following his talk, Unruh said it is a "crisis administration" that has a hands-off policy of responding to crises rather than anticipating them. "There have been many worthwhile bills passed during the administration, particularly the one on mental health, which provides a model for the nation, but nothing constructive has been done in the fie ld of education," Unruh said. He said he would "just once like to hear a constructive word about present conditions in the field of education" fro m the administration. "They criticize the situation but do nothing to improve it., Unruh said he will continueto support passage of a Summer Youth Work Program Bill . The last bill came toolate in the summer to be really effective, he said, and when it did finally r each the governor it was vetoed. "I am deadly serious about the importance of thi s bill and will do everything in my power to see it passed," he said . Unruh's lecture on "Politic s in Educatiun" was one of ten in the 1968- 69 ·Palomar College Community Lecture Series. The next speaker will be anthropologist L. S. Leakey on Feb. 4. His topic is "What Is Man: How Did We Come To Be What We Are?"

Focus staff presents diverse collection of writing, artwork Focusing on such diverse subjects as religion and pot., the spring issue of FOCUS, the campus feature magazine, is fast nearing completion. Under the ':iirection of editor, Cece McPherson, the staff of twenty students has produced a thirty p::tge extravaganza that is due to come out before the end of the semester. This semester's FOCUS staff was made up of students with a great variety of interests, and those interests are reflected in the wide variety of features in the magazine. The staff of writers, artists, photographers, and graphic arts people expressed themselves in their stories. and artwork contributions were also made by students not on the staff. "The Mad Squad" is the most satirical. article in the magazine, and concerns the adventures of three innocent, but misunderstood do-gooders lost in the big, bad society. "One thing we did different this semester was we gave artists more free reign and as a result the overall design will be better," Miss McPherson said. As an example of this free-reign of artistic ability, the FOCUS presents "La Torre De Bloques", a pictu r e-story
on Rick Cole's sculpture. The cover of FOCUS is yet another artistic endeavor accomplished by the staff. The tri-color design "is quite sophisticated," Miss McPherson said. "We've avoided the current trend to be psychedelic and have produced a cover that shows the exciting times we're going through. Not only is it a nice design, but it relates to the contents without direct refere nce." FOCUS looks at the phases that have developed in religion in "Is not Religion All Deeds?" The complexities of Christianity and a short explaination of mystecism are discussed . "It was hard to keep personal opinion out of something that meant so much to us," Miss McPherson explained. In an attempt to explain the purpose of FOCUS, Miss McPherson said, "FOCUS is different from TELESCOPE in that its aim is to look at campus life and find things that would lead to creativity. "Our purpose is to raise the intellectual level of the campus." Miss McPherson explained. "Its questionable whether we have achieved this purpose, but we have made an attempt to look at the phases college students are going through."
ILEITERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, Regarding the semantics of your announcement in the December 17 issue, "Due to the birth of an obsure figure almost 2000 yea rs ago. . . ", there was and is nothing obscure about Jesus Christ. There was and is nothing obscure about the person of Jesus, who was God in the form of Man, who was of humble birth, never was mate rially wealthy, never held public office, and nearly 2000 years after his birth has a fo llowi ng of 9 00 million. Arnold Toynbee, the most eminent historian of our day, has given more space to Jesus of Nazareth than to any others ix great me n who have ever lived , among whom are included: Mohammed, Buddha, caesar, Napoleon and George Washington . I would venture to add, that to point out to an intelligent being the mere fact that our calendar dates from his birth would discredit a label of obscure. Gregory B.

* * * Dear Ed itor, As chairman of the Faculty Senate committee on speaker policy, I welcome student initiative participation in this matter. I have no intention of formulating a policy opposed by the ASB council. One issue in the council revision which seemed to require clarification has been discussed with Mr. Clark and other members of the council. I believe the Council will agree with our conclusions in thi s area. If the committee, the Senate , the Administrative Council, or the Board
of Governors initiate changes in the policy, I will see that the student council has a chance to respond before the changes are enac ted . Gene Jackson Chairman, Faculty Senate ad hoc Comm ittee on Speake r Policy

We are saddened and depressed to pick up the Telescope and find the announcement of Christmas vacation mad e in suc h a flip, satiristic way in the center of the front page. Christ was never an obscure figure. Christmas is still Christ's birthday. Surely the students who would so refer to this glorious celebration are in the minority--surely we are surround ed by much greater numbe r of them who would celebrate His birthday in humble gratitude.

Next Monday students of this college will be voting on who they wish to be the leaders of student government for next semester. Most students, however, do not really care who is running. In fact, most students do not care if anyone is running. On this campus, there are four legislative bodies. The most powerful of which is the Palomar College Board of Governors. Next in the power line is the Administrative Counci l, then the Faculty Senate and last and probably least, Student Government. Yet in reading this newspaper students probably notice that of all the different legislative bodies Student Government probably gets the most coverage . Why? This newspaper is a student newspaper. Therefore, it is supposed to report on all of the different games students of this campus play. Student government seems to be one of the biggest games (besides football) that students play. Student government has no autonomy from the administration on junior college campuses. The education code under sections 10701 through 10705 is very specific in outlining the limitations of power for student government. The governing board can even disenfranchise student government if they so desire. Student government has no official power other than to act as a channel of communication between the students and the administration. It's very sad that they cannot even do this. Student government this semester seems to be working under the assumption that they can actually pass legislation. Actually, their sole power is advisory, due to the fact that their power is checked by other legislative bodies on campus. But the game goes on. Students go out and sign up for the various elective positions. They then proceed to the campaign trail, whereupon they rack their brain in order to come up with some type of platform. More student power! A bigger ASB Bookstore. More money for athletics! Each semester it's the same trash. Insane! The students even get to make speeches which gives them a chance to get their fellow students emotional over the problems of student government. Insane ! Hidden artistic talents are exposed when the student governmental hopefuls attempt to paint their campaign signs. In fact, student governmental hopefuls even attempt to act friendly to their fellow students in order to "get votes". Insane! Election time comes and the best people win? The victors are usually the people with the nicest smiles and the most pleasing personality and often the ones that said the least in their platform. Insane! If you like games like Monopoly or Life, the n maybe you should try ASB. But as for me, I'm fed up with games and therefore I will not vote for any candidate who doesn't have the guts to stand up and say something relevant to life itself. Perhaps this means that I will not vote on election day.
