Special meeting Friday discusses card controversy by Chris Read and Jerry Nicholas The ASB Council voted yeste rday to put off their decision to refund ASB Card fees to several complaining students until their next meeting Monday. A tentatively scheduled "executive session" Friday at 11 a.m. in R-3 will allow the council to meet with .the students and r e view each individual's case. The students stated at the council's first meeting of the year that they were "extorted" by administration personnel into purchasing the ASB's nonmandatory activities card. Students told the council that they were forced to purchase ASB cards on threat of not being able to r egister on their priority date. One individual claimed he had a letter from the Admissions Office stating that he would not be registered until he had paid the r e mainder of his fees, which included ASB card fees. Richard Cook pointed out that the Palomar Fall Bulletin states, on page two under "Admission Procedures," that a student must "pay all fees on day of programming and advisement interview," and that under "Tuition and Fee schedule," on page four, it lists ASB cards as a first require me nt . On the s ame page, under "Exceptions," it does not point out that ASB cards are not mandatory.

MAY A most active club; • • 1nsp1res two new courses By Steve Schneider There are over 20 c lubs on campus and through the year they will be taking pa rt in va rious activities, as they have for many years pas t. There is one c lub, however, which you will probably never see entered in a tricycle race or taking on the facu lty in a softball game. P alomar' s chapter of MAY A (MexicanAmerican Youth Organization), is North County's representative of the California Chicano student organization, MECHA , and is the newest club on campus. Since its beginning last April, it has been the most active organization at Palomar, though its goals hardly inc lude winning the annual kite flying contest. The group is, however, a Chicano student junta, pledged to the education of their people. Counted among their accomplishments thus far is the for mation of two new course s on campus. One, English 108, Linguistics and Culture, is an English class for bi-cultural students. According to its instructor, Gene Jackson, about 45 students have signed up for the class . Among those are about eight
from Mexico or Latin America, two from Hong Kong, one from Thailand, three from Germany, one from Denmark, and t he rest of the c las s are Chi canos . The class is designed to help Chicano students or those from a foreign culture to adapt to their surroundings. The class does s uch things as reading a Spanish poem and interpreting it in an attempt to understand it better. The class breaks up into groups of eight with each group assigned a tutor. Once a week, the tutors give evaluations as to how each student has done that particular week. Each student is given a different assignment geared to the level at whic h he is working. "The course is designed to help the students learn to respect Spanish, while at the same time learning to use formal English," stated Jackson. The second course brought into existence by the Chicano group is Interdisciplinary Studies l, entitled "Indian and Mexican- American Cultural Influences in the Southwest." It is a three hour lecture class dealing with studies in the humanities, including (Continued on page two.)

when he called for the return of the fees to the students. Heyden contended that because the ASB used the administration as their legal agent for collecting ASB card funds, the ASB is morally and legally· responsibiefor their actions. Steve Schneider, last Fall's TELESCOPE editor, called for a student referendum concerning the increased cost of student activity cards. He cited the fact that over 300 students signed a petition last semester calling for a "consensus vote." The Elections and Credentials Committee ruled that it was not legally binding. Schneider felt however, that the petition was morally binding because it expressed the concern of the students over the issue and those are the students which are suppose to be r epresented by the ASB. In other action, the Council approved the appointment of four students to serve as committee chairm en and commissioners. Meyler Anderson, Jim Carter, Tim Messer and Richard McGuckin were al recommended by ASB President Frank Mott. Anderson will serve as commissioner of publicity. He will handle any publicity arising from the actions of the ASB Council, ICC Council, or other campus organi zations. Newly-appointed commisioner of athletics, Carter, will serve as a liason between the ASB and the Athletic Department. Messer will serve as judicial chairman with McGuckin serving as social chairman. The council also established $1.50 as the price for non-ASB Card holding Palomar s tud ents at a closed dance to be held Friday night following the football game with Santa Barbara City College. The dance, free tocardholders will last fro m 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. and will fea ture Freedom and the Corduroy Cloud.
Memorial set for former nurse
Mr. Bedford of the Engineering Department needs one student to work on a ruby laser. Two units of special credit are offered. The student must have a good background in physics.
In memory of Mrs. Mary Louise (Molly) Harloff, former nursing student, a memorial award has been established at Palomar. The award will be a permanent plaque to be given to the nursing major who shows the greatest promise of becoming a successful nurse. The student's name will also be included on a larger plaque on campus. The facu lty will act as judges. Mrs. Harloff, a member of the firs t graduating class in nursing education, received her diploma 1n June. She had passed he state board examination with high grades and planned to begin her nursi ng career when she died July 29 as a result of an accident. Mrs. Harloff, the wife of George R. Harloff of Encinitas, had three children, ages, 9, 10, and 13. The award was established by friends and Palomar classmates .

Cafeteria, snaclc bar blame price increases on inflation By Larry Hendrick By now you've probably noticed that cafeteria and snack bar prices have inc reased. According to Mrs. Gert Coulter, the head of the Palomar cafeteria for 15 years, "We start out with zero in September and hope to end up with an even figure in June. Due to rising costs of commodities it has been very difficult to make the financial sheet balance. "That is the main reason for the present rise in the current cafeteria prices. However, these prices are still in line with other college campus prices and lower than most e ating places in the surrounding communities." The cafeteria is not subsidized by any government agency. All cafeteria salaries are paid out of cafeteria receipts as is all food purchased by the cafeteria. Food costs per month run close to $6000 or more and total salaries are in the $5 000- $6000 per month range. The cafeteria is not connected with the school district, although all money left over goes to the district. All sandwiches such as barbecue beef
and poor- boys , which are $.50, have gone up $.10 since last year due to increases in meat prices. The meat that the cafeteria buys now costs $1.49 per pound or more, which is over a $. 12 a pound increase. Ham and cheese sandwiches are now $.45, because cheese has gone up from · $.47 a pound to $.57. The snack bar is open from 7:30a.m. unti l 9 p.m. four nights a week. The dining room is open from 10:50 a .m. until 1:10 p.m. daily, and the n from 5 p.m. until 6:45p.m. fournightsaweek. A short stack of hot cakes is served from 7:30 a.m. until 9:30a.m. for $.45. An evening meal is served from 5 p.m. until 6:45 p.m. during which you can get a regular plate consisting of meat, vegetables or salad, potatoes, rolls and butter for $1.35 or you can get a s teak plate for $1.50. "The cafeteria is in service to serve students, and is not maintained to make money. The price increases were necessary to keep it in operation," said Mrs. Coulter.

Extra credit gained in on-the-iob training On-the-job training coupled with classroom instruction will earn extra credits for Palomar students in the 1969-70 school year. "The vocational work experience program is designed to coordinate on-thejob training and classroom work," said Mrs. Evanell Renick, chairman of the department of business courses and coordinator of the program. "Supervised employment of the student is related to the occupational goal of the individual,~ she said. "Employment may be on or off the campus . A maximum of 16 units may be earned in vocational work experience, not to exceed four units each semester. The number of units credited in a semester will be based on the average number of hours the student is employed, at the rate of two units for five hours of work each week, three units for 10 hours a week and four units for 15 hours or more. In addition to his working hours, the student must attend a one-hour coordinating class conducted in connection with this program." In another version of the same project, called the General Work Experience Educational program, credits will also be given those students employed in jobs not necessarily related to their courses in college. A maximum of six units may be earned, not exceding three units per semester. These are also based on the number of working hours, with two units for five hours of work per week and three for 10 hours or more. Mrs. Renick said the special one-hour coordinating course required of students entering the program will include such subjects such as choice of occupation, employer-employe relations, techniques of applying for employment, personal appearance and grooming, development of good work habits, and laws and regulations affecting the worker. "The vocational work experience program, in effect, serves the function of a Practical laboratory to reinforce the college classroom occupational courses" Mrs. Renick said. "The general work experience program is designed to give
job information and experience to those students employed in work not related to their college courses." She said assistance will be given students who need employment in order to participate in the program. Further details are available from Mrs. Renick at the college for prospective participants in either project.
MAYA (Continued from page one) including Hispanic literature, the behavioral sciences, and social sciences, reflecting the influence of the MexicanAmerican and Indian in the Southwest and their influence on the surrounding culture. "We'll be dealing with the historical, sociological, political, and economical influence of Chicanos and Indians in the Southwest," stated Jackson. The class will also devote a section of the course to Spanish colonial, contemporary Mexican and Indian artwork. "The course is the product of student initiative," said Jackson. "MAYA wrote the course description, took it to the curriculum committee, and finally to the Board of Governors." Guest speakers will also be involved in the structure of the class. Dr. David Weber from San Diego State spoke to the class yesterday on Mexican-American history. Tomorrow, Mike Axford, a history teacher from Mesa College, will be speaking on Indian history. Axford is recommended by concerned groups of Indians in this area as a very competent speaker on Indian history, according to Jackson. The Interdisciplinary Studies course meets on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1 p.m. The Linguistics and Culture class meet at 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday. Both courses carry three units.
Art works in a wide variety of media will be exhibited by members of the art department faculty in a Dwight Boehm Gallery showing which opens today at ll a.m. Department chairman John Barlow has entered a free-standing carved wood sculpture titled "Burning Bush" which is symbolic of the story of theburningbush in the Bible. Photos will also be displayed of the many works Barlow has done which are on display throughout the campus. Russell Baldwin will exhibitconstructions using wood, paint on glass and plastic shaped by using the vaccuumforming process. Harry Bliss has entered large constructions using metal and wood. Mrs. Rita White will show a selection of oil paintings. A group of water colors will be contributed by James Hulbert, while Val Sanders has entered ceramic and blown glass pieces. Evening division life drawing class instructor Frank Jones will display a series of embossed lithographs. Bliss will serve as gallery director for 1969-70, and has planned "An Environment" for the next exhibit. The unusual show will offer an experience in sight, sound, and sensation. The faculty exhibit will close Oct. 10.
THE TELESCOPE
'Manisnolongerbound' By Martha Miller "Man is no longer bound to the earth for he has walked on the moon~ ---an incredible statement--- almost too much for the human mind to comprehend --yet this summer it became a reality. How will we benefit from this magnificent feat? The speculations are fantastic. In the immensity of space scientists contemplate factories, hospitals, entertainment, lunar stations. Moreover, there seems now to be a possibility of life on the planet Mars, giving substance to conjecture on future habitation there. Scientists foresee a possibility of sending embryos of large animals in the bodies of rabbits to the planet. From the space program we have already derived many benefits not so easjly discernible. New sealants, originally developed for caulking seams in spacecraft, are being used in our bathrooms, latex paints are in common use and railway tank cars are made from newly developed filament-wound plastics which have the strength of steel but weigh nine tons less. Improvements have been made

in our food concentrates because the space program required it. In the field of medicine the benefits have been many and varied. Through the use of compact electronic equipment doctors are now able to monitor a wardful of people at some distance. Already installed in wheelchairs for paraplegics is the "sign switch" which enables patients to control movement with their eyes. Space suits aid in lowering body temperatures in cases of high fever. The material advantages of the space program are innumerable, but probably the greatest contribution that the space agency has made to mankind is its demonstration of what cooperative effort by teams of human beings working toward a common goal can achieve. If ultimately the space accomplishment becomes an incentive for all people to combine their resources and act collectively for the common good, then indeed, the program will have been worthwhile. Neil Armstrong probably summed it up when he repeated the words inscribed on a placard welcoming him and his fellow astronauts to New York. It read, "Through you we have touched the moon."
