THE TELESCOPE Family has theater in blood; mother, daughters active The theater often runs in the blood of a family. At Palomar the family is the Mayfie lds, two daughters and mother. Barbara Mayfield is currently costarri ng in the lead role of "The Telephone'', a mini-musical under the direction of Buddy As hbrook. He r siste r Sue is the accompanist at the piano for that produc tion. Their mother, Carm en, mad e the costume for Barbara. The costume cons ists of a white organd y blouse and a blue velveteen, floor l e ngth skirt. Curtain time for the musicals is 8 p.m. tomorrow night. "The Telephone" is first, followed by a 15 minute intermission and then "Old Lady Shows Her Medals". Admiss ion c harge is $. 50 for s tude nts and $1. 50 for others. The two Mi ss Mayfields perform in the first part of a double bill program that includ es the musical adaptation of
"The Old Lady Shows Her Medals," under the direction of Norman Gaskins. "The Telephone" is a 30 m inute opere tta about a young man's love for a girl a nd his attempts to ask her to be his wife. The young man, played by Don O' Rourke, fi nally gives up trying in person and calls her to propose. "The Old Lady Shows Her Medals" stars Jim Southe rs as Kenny Dowey, Chloe Damus as Mrs . Dewey, and Jeanette Des Ermia, Steph Sarff, and Jone llen Goddard as scrubwomen. Larr y Whitten plays the Rev. Wilke nson. Mrs. Dewey, a lone ly scrubwoman in early World War l London, adopts a "B lack Watch " soldi e r from the front lines, without his knowledge, so as to better fit in with other scrubwom e n who have s ons figh ting the war. Finally, the young soldier comes home to discover his new mothe r. Of course, he is an orphan a nd, after a probationary pe riod permits her to become his mother.

College Board discusses counseling for The need for improved counseling service to step up ed ucationa l career opportunities for youth in the minority groups- -- especi a lly those of Indian and Mex ican-American backgrounds- --was discussed at the meeting of the Palomar Co llege Board of Governors Tuesday. Counseling services in high sc hool s for those who face decis ions on college enrollment especially need greater e mphasis, som e of the board me mb ers said . The di scussion brought out Palomar's current program of conducting several off- campus courses to benefit specifi . cally some of the district's residents in t he Indi an reservation communities umd a lso those of Latin- American orgin. It was a l so noted that the college has been making effective expansion in its own counse ling staff and faci liti es . One boa r d member said the college counse ling departmen t "has improved 100 pe rc e nt in the past few yea r s. •

Board me mber Richard Kornhauser, Esco ndido. said , "The minority people must have an education before they can get em ployment, and they must ha ve em ployment in order to solve the ir ills ." Chairman Milo Shad l e said, "I fee l that thi s board and the college can s how some leaders hip in this problem by making deta iled studies and recommendations . " Member Dr. Richard Loomis added, "I do n't think we can rightfully call ourse lves a community c ollege until we do this." Dr. Freder ick R. Huber, president, said he would arrange for a detailed presentation before the board at a late r date of the e nlarged scope of work and
services of the coll ege counse ling dep artm ent by members of that operation which now members seven counselors.
Legal suit filed to recover funds Palom ar Coll ege has author i zed le gal suits by the county cou nsel to seek recovery of $3 1,055 in state a id funds, wit hhe ld in the past five yea r s from federa l "impact" payments. The action by the college board of gove rnors is a part of a gene r al litigation move by va rious county school systems similarly affected, authorizing county counsel to proceed with su its agai ns t the state in effo rts to obtain payment of withheld funds . The state has been dedu cti ng a percentage of federa l impact a id- --funds a llocated to districts affected by heavy military or other government tax- exem pt properties - --from normal state payments. In the Palomar College case , cla im will be e nte r ed for withhe ld funds var ying from abou t $11,000 last year to $1, 398 in 1963-64, or a total of S3 1,055 in the five-year period . Authorization by the college board was give n to comply with formal requirements to give the college inclusion in the general court c hallenge by the county counse l on behalf of all schools joining in the test of the state fund-withholding prac tice .
Ken Bowers shows a firm belief in the pote ntia l of the Palomar student. He is vice-preside nt of the ICC , president of AMS, and co- chairman of the "Buc ks for Ben" committee. "I believe the students need more powe r and I believe that they can ge t it if they show that the y r eally want it and can use it wisely," Bowe r s said. With the ASB budget proble m s gaining muc h attention, the office of ASB treas ure r will be a coveted one. Candidates D, J ess As hcraft and Patricia Smith r e present diffe rent points of view on how the money proble m at Palomar s hould be hand led. Ashcraft, a ve teran publicity chairman last spr ing and a r epres enta tive this fall, states his platform as "To r eview the budget and dec id e what responsibilities a r e the district' s. " "The ASB and the distric t have been in disagreem e nt with each other as to who is to pay som e of the "questionable" expenses , suc h as sendi ng the football coaches to athletic workshops. Now i s the time to sit down and draw a definite line between the two financial bodies. " Patricia Smith i s secretary of Veterans Club and was a representative to the Area I Confer e nce. She fee ls there is a lack of communication between the ASB Counc il and t he business office. "In the past, the weekly budge t reports have not bee n presented to the ASB Counc il, leavi ng them to re ly upon the news paper for information on the budget. There is a need for a more active la ison between Dr. Schettler of the business office and the ASB Council in ord e r to keep the council properly informed . "

Chinese five faces locals
in February lst exhibition By Chris Wu Chien-kuo, Chen Chin-lang, and Tsai Por-chun---the board of directors at a Chinese laundry? Hardly, but they do know howtopress. Chin-lang and his two partners play basketball for the Chinese National Olympic Team currently touring the west coast under the sponsorship of the People to People Sports Committee of San Francisco. On February 1, they will invade the Palomar Dome for a benefit for the Escondido Kiwanis Club International Relations Committee. Proceeds from the game will be used to aid underprivileged children. Coached by Tang Sid- Fang, the 12 man Chinese squad from Taiwan, Formosa, is also scheduled to take on the University of California at San Diego, Redlands University, Imperial Valley College, the University of California at Riverside, March Air Force Base and the Camp Pendleton Marine all-stars. Comet coach Joe Brennan recently received a scouting report from the Basketball Association of the Republic
Read of China and if the performance matches the superlatives, the Comets could be in for a real ball game. The three members of the board(s) are the mainstays of the touring squad. According to a press booklet, Chienkuo is a forward, "built like a football tackle; he is extremely agile and light on his feet for someone his size. Has excellent body control and only needs a little experience to become one of the best big men in Asia." At one guard is Por-chun. "Better known as the 'herky-jerky' man, Tsai has a very unorthodox jump shot which is very accurate and almost impossible to defense. He is a veteran who has no weaknesses." Brennan, a great coach, is also a great scheduler, and the February 1 game should match the excitement of the recent games with Mercer County and Phoenix College. Tickets go on sale January 20 for the encounter. Remember, no watchee without a tickee.

North County horse population prompts new evening course North County's unusually heavy population of horse owners, said to be one of the highest in the United States in ratio to total population, will be recognized in a new course offering booked in the adult education program at Palomar College.
"Whenever practical, experts in particular fields will be guest speakers during the series." said Kilman, "and films and slides will also be used. "
Theodore Kilman, dean of the department, said the course titled "The Horse in the North County," was designed to bring practical information to the many youth and adult horse owners of the area. "The course will include the history of the horse, uses, care, feeding, and health," Kilman said. "The course will be taught by Gordon Shillinburg who is a private consultant of wide reputation in animal nutrition and management."
San Diego Knights next
The class will meet from 7 to 10 p.m. each Monday in room E-5, beginning Feb. 3, and registration may be made on attendance at the first class, Kilman said. The class will meet each Monday evening for 15 weeks, and further information may be obtained by calling the college adult education office.
Matmen fall to Griffs; If anyone ever doubted that wrestling was a team sport, last Wednesday's meet with Grossmont should lay that ghost to rest once and for all. Despite decisive wins by Chuck Weise and Frank Barnhart, the Comet grapplers came back from El Cajon with a 35-6 defeat by a powerful Griffin squad. The loss left Coach Tony Lynds' matmen with a record of 0-2 for the young season and a powerful psychological obstacle to be overcome when the locals host San Diego City City College tonight in the dome. The two bright spots of the meet with Grossmont were a pair of decisions by the Comets' two leading heavyweights. Frank Barnhart, a freshman from Vista shut out his opponent 10-0, and former Hawaiian Chuck Weise also obliged with a 6-0 win.
