Instructors make '200th' album San Diego's 200 year history has been put on wax by two Palomar College instructors.

After a year and a half of intensive research, writing, rehearsals and production chores speech coach Ray Dahlin and Norm Gaskins, technical director of the Palomar Speech-Theater Arts Deartment have put together the official centennial album for San Diego's " 200th Anniversary."

Dahlin , whose Palomar speech students repeatedly have been winners of outstanding state and national awards, wrote the historical chronology for the album.

Gaskins, also a free-lance commercial artist, designed the cover for the album.

past from the time the first visitor set foot on this land to the city as it is today. Side two symbolizes the impact of all that has happened in the city's past history and olfers a panoramic sweep of the city of 1969.

Dahlin said that many people were sending the albums all over the world.

He added, "I think we have produced the best centennial souvenir, because long after the anniversary celebration t he album will still bring back fond memories."

(L to R) Linda Welch, Kathy Taff and Kathy Smuck prepare for Women's Week, which will run all this week.

Aspen exhibits Ahrend's work A photographic exhibit by Justus Ahrend, photo-journalism instructor at Palomar College, is being featured during the month of February aJ the well-known "Center of the Eye" in Aspen Colo.

The "Center" is combined with the Hunter Gallery for the purpose of shows and exhibits, and is sponsored as a highly-rated workshop in Aspen by the Colorado Rocky Mountain College of Glenwood Springs.

Mr. Ahrend attended a workshop there last summer. As a photographic project during the session he made a series of pictures titled "Vestiges of An Era" featuring scenes of the remaining architecture and other historical reminders

of the region's gold-mining boom days.

It is this collection , numbering 36 black-and-white prints, that was requested by Gail Wanman, the gallery director, for the February display. The portfolio tells a graphic story of scenic relics and landmarks still giving the old mining country a flavor of its former boom era.

Mr. Ahrend, is chairman of the communications department.

For many years he was engaged in commercial and portrait photography, and formerly was a news photographer in New York City. He was a photographer with the Office of War Information in Italy in World War II.

The two state winners will receive $1000 each.

When asked how he was inspired to write the album, Dahlin told of a production meeting with an associate which took place in Balboa Park. "While we were . sitting on a park bench," he said, talking about the theme of the album and what it should include, a little old lady who was partially sighted was heard to say, 'l wish so much that I could see San Diego again.' This was my inspiration; if I could allow this blind person to see San Diego again, I knew everybody would see it."

The album itself is a stereophonic Capital recording. Side one presents an historical account of the city.

The blending of music and narration depicts the spectacle of the changing Southland-the saga of a grand, romantic, explosive age. To listen is to recall days of the

A distinguished speaker, films and a dance are some of the activities planned for the week.

Women's Week sponsors first female speaker

By Jacquelyn Kay Easley When Leonora Briggs was arrested for exposing her knees in 1918, little did she know what she was starting.

The women of Palomar College will continue a long tradition of firsts for women when the Associated Women Students sponsor the first Women's Week this week, Feb 17-21.

The week of "female orientated" activities will seek to involve the female student , and for the first time in history Palomar will have a female speaker on campus.

Mrs. Helen Colton, executive director of Family Forum of Los Angeles, will speak tomorrow at 10 a.m. in the Student Union on the theme, "What's on Woman's Future Agenda?"

Assembly schedule will be followed and an AWS luncheon will be held in R-3 following the speech.

Mrs. Colton has had 200 articles published throughout the world on marriage and family, mental health, psychology, and childrearing, among them a renowned article in McCall's, "I Am a Selfish Mother."

In 1965 she founded a non-profit research organization, Family Forum, whose purpose is to "gather and disseminate information and ideas to help us gain insight into our own natures and the nature of the society in which we must cope with social change."

"My goal," she says, "is to improve the quality of family life and save others the traumas, disappointments, and heartaches I've experienced through lack of up-to-date knowledge and attitudes."

Mrs. Colton recently published a reserach study, "What's On Woman's Future Agenda?", which is being hailed as a great social contribution, clarifying sociological, psychological, political, and economic reasons for changing life styles of American women and how husbands, children, and community are reacting to the changes.

Mrs. Colton will discuss some of these life styles in her speech tomorrow.

All proceeds made from activities during Woman's Week will go to the Muscular Dystrophy Association of San Yesterday a film, "The Sun Diego.

Never Sets," was shown in P-32. The film, which was sponsored by the muscular dystrophy group, discussed theresearch going on around the world to cure MD victims. There are 191 persons in San Diego County who are afflicted with the disease.

"The Emergency Exit" will play for a dance Thursday night in the Dome.

Disc jockey Dex Allen will be on hand and a door prize will be given to a female student during the dance. The dance will last from 8 pm to 12 am and Palomar students will be admitted at reduced prices.

During Women's Week, which is a joint AWS -Gamma Sigma Chi, effort, Campus Pacs will be given out free to women s~udents in the Student Union. All students llave to do is sign a card to receive them.

GSC will be selling $5 record albums at reduced prices of $1.50 all week in the Student Union. Over 400 records will be sold tn all, with 16 different albums. Proceeds from this sale will also go the the ~m group.

Palomar's Women's Week may not revolutionize anything that Leonora Briggs didn't, but the members of AWS and GSC hope to put emphasis on the women and feature some activities for her.

Forensics squad takes fourth Competing with 30 different colleges from all over the country, Palomar's forensics squad placed fourth in the national invitational speech tournament at Cal State Long Beach.

In the debate competition Roger Scalice and Hank Pinto took a first with six wins and no losses. Due to their outstanding performance, the two were invited to Cal Tech for another invitational speech tournament.

The other debate teams from here narrowly missed reaching the finals.

During preliminary competition, a debate team consisting of Cathy Widrig and Ruth Eicher won three out of four matches as did Jan Glasglow and Jan Jackson.

A three out of four record wasn't quite good enough in the nationwide competition.

Speaker Roger Scalice also placed fourth in the extemporaneous speaking championships.

FROM THE RIGHT SIDE

A case for education

Thinclads host relays

By Steven A. Krueger

The word •relevance" is being kicked around quite often today in circles where higher education is discussed.

"Relevance", as defined in Webster's Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary, means simply, "relation to the matter at hand: PERTINENCE." However, many students refuse to follow accepted norms of student study bec&use they feel that the courses they must take have to relevance to the "real world" of today.

For this reason, a great number of kids leave school today, misled into }:>elieving that the educational system serves them no purpose.

To change the status quo, young radicals must learn they have to pla.y ball with the establishment, under the establishment's rules. If they want to change the status quo , they must do it in the matter prescribed by the establishment. If they try to vary from the rules, the establishment will willingly step on them.

Education doesn't suffer from a lack of relevance for three young men I can think of off-hand. Two graduated at mid-term, the other still goes here.

To one of the young men who graduated education was important enough that he worked after school and Saturdays to pay for his gas and books while taking back-breaking academic loads. He graduttted in just three semesters, rather than the usual four most students must study.

He is now working as a bus boy to raise money for himself so that he can go on a mission for his church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon).

His missioq will take him away from home for at least two years.

Upon his return, he plans to enroll at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.

The next young man who graduated

had to overcome a tremendous handicap to get his education. This young man is nearly blind.

He rode to school every morning, no matter the weather, on a bicycle. He lives on a avocado grove in south east Escondido.

Even though he will never be able to get a driver;s llcense, took auto shop his last semester at Palomar.

He fought a brave struggle to get his education.

It has a great deal of relevance.

The last young man is still attending Palomar.

He has endured a hairraising car crash one foggy morning last semester, immigration department red tape, until he is at last free to study at Palomar in preparation for eventual transfer to a university, where he plans to finish his education and to become a medical doctor.

He already knows where he will practise: Ghana. Education has a great deal of relevancy to this young African.

These three men are included here only because I know each one personally.

There are hundreds, nay, thousands of similar stories here and at other junior colleges, state colleges, and universities in this state and others.

There is a fine line between active, youthful idealism and fanatic disavowel of everything accomplished by the establishment. The former is needed and is healthy: it's been occurring in every generation for a long as man has existed.

But the latter is deplorable and shameful.

Those who feel education is of no use to them and that everything done by the establishment should be changed-now--should leave college by the nearest door. Then perhaps classrooms would be a little less crowded, parking places easier to find, and education, at last, left for those who truly · want it.

MOUTHPEACE

Writer sees student movement as trend toward new radicalism

By Jim Strain Sorting out impressions when one has been bombarded with new experiences over a short period of time is like trying to dismantle a kaleidoscope to see what makes it work. It's hard to do without losing the total effect.

I spent this past weekend in Washington D.C. attending a so-called College editor's conference but, lest the title put you off, it was foremost a gathering of college and university students and it was the most exciting and mentally exhausting event I have ever experienced.

Participating were students of all political and moral persuasions.

Black students were there from all over the country and we talked and, man, NOBODY to my knowledge has ever accurately reported the current feeling and mood of Black America.

Those cats are tired. They're tired of a bunch of phony promises. They're tired of tokenism and gradualism. Theyare tired and they're frustrated anc' they're madder than hell, and baby, they're looking for someone to hang it on.

Black students are starting to listen to people like the Panthers and starting to wonder if they might not be so bad at that. Carl Word of Philadelphia's largely Black Lincoln University put it this way: "There has always been this concept of the 'bad niggers' which we have been taught to avoid 1 but now a lot of us are starting to identify with this individual. The 'bad nigger' is the one who is always in trouble with the pigs (police) or who finds himself on the outside or who tries to answer injustice with violence. Hell, that's almost all of us nowadays."

There were students there who, like

you and I, have yet to identify, much less protest, the problems on their campuses and we came away wondering about this thing called student power and the role of the student in formulating the policies of his institution and his country.

There were students who, a little ashamed of it, were just in the process of winning the right to dress as they pleased or to live off campus if they liked.

I attended a seminar on the ideological roots of student unrest and met a group of Marxist-Leninists who didn't have fire in their eyes nor horns nor tails. In fact they turned out to be some of the nicest people I've come across in quite some time. They were people like Carl Davidson who has become disenchanted with a profiterring capitalist society which, he says, is fast suppressing all vestiges of freedom in the United States, especially among the poor. They are people who are dedicated to an outmoded idea which, if the gradual trend continues, will soon be a reactionary one.

In their own way, though, I suppose they are no worse than the missionaries of some fundamentalist religion with a fixed formula for salvation.

The Yippies were there and representatives from the nation's underground press, a strange breed which this column will deal with at length at a later time.

Some of the young people there had fixed ideas of what the world is and were satisfied with it. Most were inquiring and curious to find out more.

All in all, if this confab was representative of the rising generation, and I happen to think it was, then the world had better stand back and brace itself because it's in for some pretty radical and pretty wonderful changes.

Television explores 'Yellow Submarine', examines music as an inspiration for films The "Eleanor Rigby" sequence from the new Beatles cartoon film feature "Yellow Submarine" will be shown on NET's "The Film Generation on Music" tonight at 9 p.m. on KEBS-TV, Channel 15.

The program, sixth in an eight-part series on film, examines music as an inspiration for the filmmaker.

"Yellow Submarine", an animated fantasy, features the Beatles as cartoon figures--who with the help of music, love , and a handfull of surprises--are out to save the world of Pepper land. The Beatles themselves sing their own songs

such as "Eleanor Rigby", which are built in to the story-line of the film.

Other items included in the hour-long color presentation (with some blackand-white segments) are "FFTCM", by San Franciaco filmmaker Will Hindle, inspired by Aaron Copeland's "Fanfare for the Common Man": to animated Yugoslav films, "Dancing Songs" and "Musical Pig"; "Capriccio", a Danish Film; and "Tuesday Afternoon", by Tom Zimmerman and Chris Swanson, inspired by the New York Jazz Ensemble's Tuesday afternoon improvisation sessions.

ASB EYESORES

Walker leadership philosophy proved by Ashcraft, Gladys

By Steven A. Krueger ASB president Lloyd Walker's contention that students fresh from high school are not mature enough to assume leadership roles in student government appears to have been borne our by two members of the ASB council, Nick Ashcraft and Ed Gladys.

The two, Ashcraft as an elected representative and Gladys as a presidential appointee, have been working diligently not for the students, but rather to maintain student government as the social club it was last semester.

Ashcraft and Gladys first demonstrated their contempt for the general student body by their actions which subseauantlv led to the invalidation of the Christmas Queen election.

As a point of information , they actively engaged in unconstitutional campaigning within 50 feet of the polls and with voting by proxy.

They failed in a attempt to bring embarrassment to students at Palomar when their queen candidate, Jaquelyn Frost, was defeated.

Frost was Ed Gladys.

They have further shown thier utter contempt for the student government by their efforts to thwart the businesslike fashion by which ASB president Walker wishes to run the student government. They demonstrated their childish actions during last weeks ASB council meeting.

Walker had, the first week of the semester, closed the council chambers to students.

His goal was to force a clean-up of the room. Following the

one week closure, he reopened the room and so stated this in the meeting. He announced a ban on eating an forbade the use of the room as a social gathering place. He contended that the room should only be used to transact governmental business.

Ashcraft was given the floor, presumably for the presentaion of a motion.

However, after wasting almost half an hQur of the council's time, he had not presented any motion, merely aired his grievances.

Ashcraft and friend completed their week of obnoxious activity in the Thursday meeting of the InterClub Council.

There were few members of the ICC present. It was agreed to adjourn the formal meeting and to hold an informal discussion of matters.

It was made clear by ICC President, Jim Vaught, that no formal action would be taken at the meeting. At the mention athat the formal meeting was over, Ashcraft and Gladys got up and noisely left the room. When asked by Vaught where they were going, they answered gruffly that they were leaving.

Then they proceeded to leave, soundly denouncing the ICC as they did.

It is obvious that these two members of student government are devoted to bringing embarrassment and ridicule to student government.

They should be removed from office if they do not cease such attitudes toward their work.

With a double split already under their belts, Palomar College's thinclads are working toward the annual Pacific South western Conference Relays this Saturday at Palomar.

The five PSC schools, led by defending conference champion San Diego Mesa, will be on hand for the 1 p.m. meet.

Last Friday, the Comets defeated Glendale, 79-57, and bowed to Chaffee, 89-57, in the 40 degree weather.

1 Pat Hallmann led a sweep in the high jump for Palomar and Doug Tucker set the pace for a 1-2-3 finish in the mile run.

Hallmann, whose mark is 6-6, went 6-2 with Jerry Anderson second and Blll !names third. Tucker, with a time of 4:33.5 edged teammate Manuel Garcia (4:33. 7) with Comet Lee McComb third.

The only other Comet winner was Mike Quirk in the javelin at 168-6.

Don Tucker also had two second places for Palomar, while Garcia grabbed another second in the two mile and the 440-yard relay team also took runnerup honors.

McComb provided another third place in the two-mile, and Tom Ries also took two thirds, his 44-21/ 2 in the triple jump being just 4 1/2 inches offthe Palomar record he set last year. Two more third places were gained by Quirk and another by Ron Figueroa.

Dave Perkins registered two fourth places and Len Thompson, Ries, Quirk, and Jeff Rivera had other fourths for Palomar.

The Comets tied for first place in the Pacific Southwestern Conference Relays last year.

Admission will be free to Saturday's meet and several 1national class! JC trackmen will be competing.

Spartans host Comets Thursday Following a 6-1 loss at the hands of the Riverside Tigers yesterday, the Palomar horsehiders hope to avenge a losss to MiraCosta that they suffered earlier in the season.

MiraCosta has one of its best teams in years with strong pitching and good hitting.

The Spartan's biggest hitters are Jim Vessey and Willie Buchanon.

Palomar's coastal rivals got off to an early start as they scored four runs in the first inning. Nine batters took their turn at the plate.

Two of the runs came in as walks as Comet Ernie Oliva got into trouble.

Dan Gabbard and Frank Hoops were the only Palomar players to get hits.

Palomar's record so far is 1-2.

In other sports results, a tri-way meet with College of the Desert and Cerritos, the Comet golf tean was successful in defeating COD 21-15 while losing to Cerritos 24-12.

No paper Friday Due to the holiday honoring the birth of George Washington, THE TELESCOPE will not be published this Friday. The next edition of the paper will appear a week from today. Regular twice weekly publication will resume at that time.

MICROSCOPES

Editorials discuss draft, speed limits, activism Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, 75 year old director of the Selective Service System, is "optimistic" that the draft will continue for the foreseeable future, he said in San Diego recently.

General Hershey, who has headed the draft system since World War II, said he has no plans for retirement unless he is fired or falls ill. Despite failing eyesight, he claims to be in good health.

General Hershey, a general who has never commanded an Army, has had life and death control over the lives of young men for almost 30 years. The system he heads operates in a manner described by everyone from hippies to . congressmen as being unfair to almost · everybody.

The draft operates on the principle that it is a privilege to serve in the armed forces. However, when young men opposed to war and killing use their right to protest against the draft, they become subject to immediate induction.

There is little doubt that the draft should and must be changed,ur hopefully abolished.

A bill sponsored by many congressmen calls for the immediate dissolution of the draft. PresidentNixon called for the abolition of the draft in his acceptance speech in Miami and again shortly after taking office. The youth of America have cried for the draft's demise for many years.

General Hershey's failing eyesight may be the reason he still staunchly supports the Selective Service System in the face of almost unanimous and nationwide condemnation. Hershey is either very loyal to his cause, very stubborn,

or very poor of sight.

The draft, a method of involuntary servitude, should be abolished and a professional, mercenary army begun.

Perhaps then, with the smaller army and no chance of civilian enlargement, the United States could avoid tragic and needless wars which acomplish so little.

Word has been sent forth that the snails pace speed limit around the college will now be enforced.

For those unaware of the situation, on all roads in and bordering:he college, the speed limit is 15 miles per hour.

However, as reported in last week's TELESCOPE, the sheriffs department has notified Dr. John Schettler, assistant superintendent in charge of business, that the speed law will now be enforced, as well as the rules prohibiting illegal and unsafe parking on school ground.

For those who have tried to drive the campus 15 mile limit, it is not necessary to describe the sensation of being passed by a custodian in his electric cart.

Likewise, we can only wonder whether or not the speed limit will apply to track athletes in events which require short sprints, reaching speeds in excess of 15 miles per hour.

The speed limit should be raised to 25 miles per hour, a more realistic figure and one which now is enforced around most schools.

The 15 miles per hour limit is designed to reduce accidents and hazzard to pedestrians in a supposedly crowded area. However, the limit is ridiculously slow and unneeded in the more remote

areas of the ground.

We therefore recommend to the administration and to all authorities involved that the speed limit be increased to 25 miles per hour, and then, and only then, enforced.

As for the enforcement of the parking bans, we can only say it's about time.

It is most agravating to drive to the exit of a parking lot to find it blocked by another car.

Students at Santa Barbara State College are doing more than merely decrying poverty, ignorance, and disease. They began, on Nov. 22, a drive to aid poverty stricken families around the school.

Under the direction of the Human Relations Council with publicity from the campus paper, The Channels, the aim of the drive is to collect clothing, food, appliances, and other items to aid needy families.

This drive, in the words of Channel's editor Ellen Wakefield, "is to collect useful items -- not Dad's oldest worn out trousers, or that skirt with the huge mothholes, or that white elephant doodad you always wanted to get rid of.

"Rather, consider donating something servicable -- something that might be worn proudly, or used daily in the kitchen, or which a child might love."

It is most obvious that action programs such as this do more to enhance the stature of the educational system in the public eye than do pointless demonstrations and picketing.
