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.

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.
