Student representatives attend student government convention Five representatives of Palomar's student government will attend the three day Junior College Student Government Association's state convention in Palm Springs that begins Thursday.

A resolution in support of a bill to lower the voting age to 19 years will be introduced to the assembly by representative Kathy Taff. Other resolutions to be brought before the group include a student bill of rights, sponsored by Grossmont College, discussion of the double jeopardy clause, and a resolution supporting privacy of school transcripts.

The double jeopardy clause to be discussed involves the present system of charging students caught with narcotics on campus . At the present time, a student can be prosecuted by both the school and the local law authorities .

In "The Balcony", Genet dramatizes and satirizes the function of certain i nstitutions which wield enormous power over people's lives: the church, the

courts, the military the police, the bordello.

Madame Irma, operator of the brothel where all of the action occurs, refers to her establishment as "a house of illusions where men are not what they appear to be.

Outside the bordello, a revolution rages. Ultimately the palace is overwhelmed, the queen and her court are swept away and all symbols of her monarchy are crushed.

To fill the leadership void, it is decided the

Today the contrasts between the political structures and people ofGermany during the years of World War II and those of today will be discussed by English instructor Richard Norlin at 11 a.m. in room F - 11.

The lecture is sponsored by the honor society, Alpha Gamma Sigma, and is open to all ASB students.

Norlin, who recently spent a year in Germany, will illustrate his talk with slides, according to Mrs . Vicki Richardson, AGS publicity chairman.

A "strictly social " picnic will be held next Saturday at Felicita Park in Escondido for AGS members and their invited guests.

At a recent meeting, the honor society discussed plans for reactivating the Palomar College Alumni Association with Robert Burton, dean of student personnel services.

A letter will be sent to all those eligible for membership, and a preliminary constitution will be prepared.

Interested alumni or students who know of alumni for the mailing list may contact active student Jim Connoiley, AGS vice president.

Fourteen Geology students traveled to Nipton, California on a field trip recently under the direction of Richard Nobl e of the Earth Science Department.

On the first day of the trip, students mapped an area containing zinc mines, and visited a rare earth mine where the group collected samples. The mine is t he only one of its kind in the world.

The second day of the trip, they toured a gold, silver, copper, and zinc m ine in the same area. The superintendent of the mine gave a tour of the mine showing the entire operation. They also visited a turquoise mine and collected samples.

visitors of "the house of illusions" will assume in reality the roles they play when visiting the brothel.

Madame Irma, who views life on a realistic level, observes the world without illusions to blind her.

She has created a theater out of her "house of ill us ions" and has given an opportunity for her clients to live their fantasies, to those who cannot bear to face life's c ruelties.

FROM THE RIGHT SIDE

When rights collide

By Steven A. Krueger The death of a UC-Santa Barbara maintenance man following a powerful bomb explosion there is another tragic chapter in the annals of student revolt.

The campus at UCSB has been quiet this year. In a year of militant demands and building seizures, it has been almost as docile as Palomar. There are no burning issues at UCSB, there have been few demonstrations . Yet a 55 year old man is dead today from a homemade bomb that exploded in his hands.

The use of violence in campus movements is uncalled for. How much better than a war-mongering administration are militants who kill innocent men in striving for their goals?

In Vietnam the innocent people are the ones who suffer the most. They a r e the ones whose homes are burned by Amercan troops. Their village leaders are tortured and murdered by the VietCong.

Their rice patties are the ones that have been turned into battle grounds. The y are the ones that have not known peace for ten centuries.

We are seeing anothe r Vietnam growing in our country. The leaders of o':'r nation are not moving fa s t enough m many areas of domes tic and foreign policy. Yet because I don't like the draft or I think the anti-poverty program is a socialist conspiracy, I don' t have the right to plant a bomb in the ir office s for an unsuspecting janitor to find .

The denial of any right is c r ir 1inal.

The denial of a platform to SDS or any other rebellious group is a violation of the first amendment.

The denial by SDS or any other group my right to enter a classroom for the sake of learning is also a criminal violation of my right to lawfully assemble.

And the denial of life to an innocent custodian is not only a violation of the basic law of the land, but a violation of all religious teac hings .

Every human being s hould have the right to say what he pleas es without the fear of threats, rebuke, or retaliation.

But those lis te ning have a right not to be forced to li sten.

Students at Harvard have a right to strike if they wish, but those not wanting to strike have the right to attend classes for the pursuit of their education.

Neil Hoffman has the right to stand on a table in the student union and call for the removal of locks on the faculty restrooms so that students may also use them, but I have a right not to listen.

Whoever planted that bomb had every right to free speech. But Dover Sharp had every right to continue living.

Those who would use force should not beg for mercy or amnesty. Once a crime is committed, the criminal must be punished. If John Dillenger robbed a bank, the federal government isn't goingtopay much attention to his cries for amnesty.

The militants who invade buildings should be prepared for arrest and brutal treat. ment.

And the person who set the bomb that killed the maintenance man at UCSB should be ready for his just punishment.

'"OUTH'PeAce

It's the time of the season

By Jim Strain It's spring now and on sunny mornings couples are siiting c loser together on the lawn in front of the flag pole. The air is rich with the fragrance of freshly cut grass and the distant grumble of a lawn mower makes it that much harder to pay attention in a class already caught in the spell of the season.

It's a time to walk slowly to class with someone you like to be near. It's a time of rediscovery of the simple joyous reborn world of flowers and grass and birds and bugs. It's a time to drink deeply of the fine red wine of life.

It's a selfish time when it becomes easy to languish in the warmth and like lotus eaters forget that there is such a thing as a real world; to forget that there is such a thing as poverty or hate or war; to forget that half a world away our brothers are slaughtering one another.

It's spring now, though, and the rattle of the afternoon freight train is a more seductive sound than the harsh song of death and pain which the newscaster sings four times an hour, 24 hours a day. For

just this afternoon it doesn't seem to matter that Richard Nixon sits in the White House or that the governor has seized another trunkload of contraband academic freedom or that modern day body snatchers known as Your Local Draft Board are secure in their air conditioned office.

For just this single magic afternoon all the transmission lines of anger have gone dead and there is time for another kind of emotion to make itself felt.

Final exams are still far enough away not to present a threat to the well-being of such a day, and in 50 years who will care that you cut a class just so you could lay on the grass and day dream for awhile?

There'll be time enough for all these worries tomorrow. Today the classroom is a quiet patch of green earth and someone to share it with. Today the instructor is the grass and the warm. And the lesson is an easy one, if nature still has faith enough in the world to renew itself and go on, can we do any less?

PEACE

Brown studies needed One of the basic concepts of the junior, or community, college is that it shall provide the best obtainable education for all those citizens and residents of the district who would desire it.

To better fulfill these goals, it would seem logical for the college to institute a program of Mexican American studies in the academic program.

Presently Palomar offers programs in such needed areas as Far East studies and Russian. Wouldn't it be more sensible to offer programs relating to the problems and backgrounds of the Mexican-American community?

At Palomar, we offer Spanish, French, and Russian language courses as second languages and a miriad of English programs as a primary language.

A great many Mexican-Americans in the vicinity of Palomar speak Spanish

as a primary language . Why not offer a class or classes in English as a second language?

Not too much of what Byron Peterson, defeated board candidate, said in his campaign made much sense. But one thing he did say is true. English is the language spoken in the marketplace of life .

These days, the Mexican American must fight a war for survival in a society that speaks a different language and holds different customs. If the college is to be of value to these people, it must make certain adaptations to their way of life.

Let us hope that Palomar College can be a leader in the field of Brown studies. We must if we are to provide a full service college to everyone who desires to use it.

STUDIES WITH 38 FEMALES

Only male nursing student sets goals

By Martha Miller "Naturally I was a little apprehensive about entering a program where I would be the only male student in a class of 38," declared Glen Combs, nursing major.

Combs, neatly dressed in a sport shirt and s lacks, sat with his hands tucked under his thighs. His feet swung aimlessly on the pavement, kicking at imaginery pebbles.

"I'm in the minority and consequently I have to adjust. I realize I must conform if I am to survive," he continued.

"Actually though, it hasn't been too difficult. You have to watch your phraseology a little. There's always the possibility of being misconstrued. But generally we work as a group and we're all the same, with one purpose in mind.

It's as simple as that."

Glen stated that he became interested in nursing in his sophomore and junior years at Riverside High School. During that time he worked 500 hours as a volunteer orderly at Riverside County General Hospital and decided then to make medicine his career.

In 1967 Combs graduated from Orange Glen High School and was awarded a $300 scholarship by a local Soroptimist Club.

Likes people

Reflecting upon his reasons for entering the nursing program, the sandyhaired youth said, "I like people, and nursing is a very individual thing. I like the close contact. The feeling that I have helped another human being to recover."

Glen considers Palomar's nursing program one of the finest available.

"The teachers are excellent, and each day holds a new challenge for me," he said.

"I like the idea of the N. L.N. (National League for Nursing) achievement tests given each semester. The exams are given across the country and the student is made aware of his standing in comparison to students in other areas.

It helps prepare you for the State Board Pool Examination."

Glen was the first president of the Student Nurses Association of California, Palomar local when the group was organized . "Getting the by-laws and such set up was a little hectic at times, but it was a satisfying experience," he recalled.

Combs will graduate from Palomar in June with the first class of nursing students to complete the newly innovated two year program.

From that point on, he prefers to leave his plans flexible. If he passes the State Board Pool Examination, he may seek work as a registered nurse while continuing his education at San Diego State.

"I plan to major in some field of medicine, probably psychology," he stated.

May enter service

On the other hand, Combs is considering entering the serivce upon completion of his courses here. "I feel I have an obligation to fulfill sooner or later and it might be best to do it now," he said. If he decides in favor of the service he will continue his education on the G.I. Bill after his discharge.

Glen maintains a rigid schedule through the week. Wednesday and Friday mornings me rises at 5:15a.m. and arrives at Tri-City Hospital sometime before 7 a.m. for in service training in advanced medical, surgical nursing.

Tuesdays and Thursdays he is on campus for an 8 a.m. English class and on each of these days he also spends four hours at Mesa Vista Hospital where he has psychiatric training.

Monday is lecture day, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. for advanced medical surgical and 12 p .m. to 2 p.m. for psychiatric nurs-

pictures and television, "I don't feel that anything you can see can hurt you. It's what's inside a person that's really important."

On the question of student unrest, Glen feels that more communication between students and faculty is a worthwhile endeavor. "If they have grievences why not talk them over?" he said. "Personally, I am very well satisfied with the nursing program at Palomar."

At that point, the slightly built youth seemed suddenly older than his 20 years.

His eyes took a look of determination as he declared, "I have set a goal for myself and I will not be deterred from it - --not by protests or any. other force.

My studies here have and will consume much of my time until I graduate."

Glen Combs ing. On Saturday Glen has an 8 a.m. physical fitness c lass.

The curriculum for the nursing student is intense . First year students must complete courses in anatomy and physiology, microbiology, Nursing 1, 2, and 3, psychology 1A and 42, English 1A, sociology, and P.E., for ~ total of 33 units.

Second year students are required to complete nursing 4,5, 6, and 7, political science, s peech, English 1B, or a literature course and P.E., for a total of 30 units for the semester and 63 units for the two year course of study. To remain in the program, students must maintain a minimum grade of "C" in each of the nursing courses and in all supportive courses.

People surprised

"People are always surprised to hear I've had obstetrics," Glen said. "It's part of the curriculum. It was interesting, but of course, the cases are toutine. I prefer the challenge of psyc hiatry."

At Mesa Vista Hospital there are approximately 100 mental patients - men, women, and adolecents. Glen particularly enjoys his work there.

"Whatever the patient's schedule calls for during the day, his nurse remains with him," Combs said. "The only thing you have to offer there is yourself.

You try to help by being a good listener.

It's difficult not to get too involved, because you care or you wouldn't be in this work. You have to put it all out of your mind when you go home."

Combs spoke quietly, deliberately. He stared thoughtfully at the ground, his hands folded in a prayer-like fashion.

"The adolescents," he continued, "are the hardest to reach. I can relate to them because of the age factor, but they don't have the confidence in me that they would have in an older person.

It's difficult but it's what makes you want to succeed more than ever."

Hobbies shelved

Turning to a lighter subject, Glen said that since his college work takes so much of his time, his hobbies have been shelved temporarily. However, he enjoys the beach and tennis and he plays the organ. He was Varsity Tennis Player of the Year when he graduated from Orange Glen High School in Escondido.

Glen's preference in music is basically popular although he cites Rachmaninoff as one of his favorites . "Modern music has a message to deliver. It's not just a lot of notes," he contended .

Combs appreciates all forms of art, from abstract to fine art. He feels that in each case the artist has something to say. Photography, he added, also has made great strides in bringing realism to the viewer. As for realism in motion

Bomb blasts UC custodian (Ed. Note: From UC-Santa Barbara EL GAUCHO, April 14, 1969. Written by Jim Bettinger, Editor in chief.)

Dover 0. Sharp, the 55-year-old maintenance man injured in Friday morning's bomb blast at the Faculty Club, died at 8:05 p.m. last night.

Authorities said that the bomb, which exploded at 6:23 a.m., was contained in a cardboard box and was placed in the north-east corner of the patio, next to the dining room. It apparently went off when Sharp attempted to open the box, although it still has not been determined if it was set to go off at that time or if it was designed to go off when handled.

The explosion blew him 20 feet toward the center of the patio. He then dragged himself another 60 feet to the wading pool to extinguish his flaming clothes.

Residents of the San Rafael dorm, awakened by the blast and his cries for help, ran to the scene with blankets. The fire department and rescue squad discovered him there several minutes later, talking to students while sitting in the pool.

The blast shattered four sliding glass doors, ripped screens, charred walls, and caused an estimated $1,000 to $1,500 damage.

"The Horse in North County" came to the classroom recently. "The Horse .. " is a recent addition to the night currie-

ulum and features a program aimed at the horsl;\ownP-:r.

Censors' scissors

smother Smothers Those of us who viewed the fairwell performance of the Smother's Brothers Comedy Hour Sunday night are left with the uneasy feeling of who is right and who is wrong in the contractural dispute between the brothers and Columbia Broadcasting System censors .

CBS required that the Brothers make their programs available prior to air time for screening, a word used to mean censoring.

The Brothers refused to deliver the shows in time for this screening, so they were cancelled.

But the real reason the Smother's Brothers will not be back in the fall is in the nature of their political satire.

They have hit very hard then President Lyndon Johnson, the National Rifle Association, and just about every other notable person or organization in the country.

Perhaps they did not present fairly the criticism of these people and organizations. Perhaps they did not attack the liberals as hard as the conservatives.

But no one is forced to watch the show.

Anyone who was made to feel uncomfortable by the barbed wit of the two brothers could always watch the Sunday Movie or Bonanza. Yet people did watch the program.

One of parting comments of Dick Smothers was that when they began their show, they told CBS, theywantedanadult program. Yet the youth of today were more willing to listen to the comments that drove so many adults to the frenzy and panic that eliminated the show from the air.

Everyone of the Smothers Brothers shows was broadcast in Canada and most were shown in England. Critics and viewers in those two countries liked what they saw, sans screening. Perhaps the people of Canada are the civilized ones and we are the barbarians.

Let us hope that the Brothers' show will be picked up by another network.

And those who don't like program can just turn the knob to an Elvis Presley movie.
