Homecoming Week 1969 started off with a "thud~ yesterday with a karate demonstration in the Student Union. The lunch hour demonstration kicked off a week of club and ASB sponsored activities that will climax with the PalomarRiverside CC football game at Memorial Field in Escondido at 8 p.m. Saturday night.

The annual Kangaroo Court was also a part of Monday's activities, and campus clubs began selling "Incense and Peppermints~ to go along with this year's homecoming theme.

A waterballoon fight in which the rally girls and students face the football team is slated for Tuesday, with the battle beginning on the lawn in front of the ASB Council offices at 11 a.m.

Wednesday is "Sale and Game Day" at Palomar. Each club on campus will be selling merchandise. A mud war and water-dunking boooth will be set up, and the International Tea will be held . Dr. Frederick Huber, president of Palomar College, Dean Robert Bowman and members of the ASB Council will be in the dunking booth.

The Navy will face the Marine Corps Thursday when the two meet for an intermural basketball game.

"Pep" is the word of the day on Friday, as cheerleaders conduct a pep rally and a bonfire at 8 p.m. in the upper parking lot with various people burned in effigy and various marshmallows burned for r e al. A rock jam session with three bands will start at 7 p.m., and

'Greed'shows here tonight "Greed ," the second film in Palomar's film series this fall, will be shown tonight at 7 p.m. in P - 32.

The film is directed by European . director Erich von Stroheim and was released in 1923. When first released, it was about seven hours long, but was edited down to its present length of over two hours.

In the process, Stroheim became very concerned and finally disclaimed the film.

Peacock feels that through the showing of films representative of different eras of American films, in addition to class discussion and lectures, students will gain an understanding of the progress of American films.

The first film in the series, "Intolerance,~ was shown last Tuesday night.

The series is built around instructor Richard Peacock's English class entitled "The History of the American Film."

On October 21, the third film, "Gold Diggers of 1935", will be shown. The film is representative of director Busby Berkeley's magnificent musical productions. Elaborate sets, large cast dance routines and poor plot are the trademarks of this film.

"The Informer~, on Novembe r 4 will be the fourth film shown. Directed by John Ford, the film stands as one of the better American films due to fantastic acting performances.

Orson Welles' "Magnificent Ambersons" on November 18 will be the fifth film shown. The film was written and directed by Welles and he also acts as narrator. Joseph Cotten, Agnes Moorehead and Anne Baxter are the stars of the film.

One of Humphrey Bogart's better performances, "Treasure of the Sierra Madre~ will be shown on December 2.

The film was directed by John Huston and deals with man's destructive greed for treasure.

On December 16, "The Goddess~ will be shown. The film stars Kim Stanley and Lloyd Bridge s' and was released in 1957.

The fi nal film of the series on January 13 is an experimental film entitled " Goldstein~ .

The film was released in ' 1964.

Second- tongue classes offered off-campus now Four additional classes, including three in off-campus locations, have been provided for instructions in English as a second language for North County Mexican- American residents.

The college Adult Education department said an increasing need for this service in district communities led to est!lblishing the extra classes for adults and others seeking to gain proficiency in English at thei r individual level of reading and speaking.

The beginning classes are taught at the following locations : Monday, at Central School , Escondido; Tuesday, at the college; Wednesday, at the Vista Recreation Center, and also Monday, at the Fallbrook High school.

All sessions are scheduled from 7 to 10 p .m .

Advanced intermediate students may enroll in a class at the college from 7 to 10 p.m. each Thursday, taught by Mrs. Virginia Floyd who has been an instructor in English for foreign- born persons since 1957.

By dividing her c lasses into small groups, s he is able· to meet the individual ne eds of students with varying backgrounds.

The college is also conducting a class in Citizenship on Tuesday evenings, 7 to 10 p.m.

The r e is no charge for these courses, and students may enroll by reporting at a class session. The Adult Education spokesman said any other details may be obtained by telephone to the department.

By Tom Anderson Five full-time counselors are on campus willing to help any student with problems that may arise.

According to Mr. Robert Larson, head of the Counseling Department, "The main purpose of the counseling service is to help students get the maximum benefit from their college experience.

Any anxiety may affect a student's academic performance or personal satisfaction.

These concerns may be "talked through~ with a trained person (counselor) who may not advise but will help him to see where the difficulty lies.~ Larson said that there are two basic· counseling services, individual counseling and group guidance. Individual counseling provides the students with an opportunity to talk with a professionally trained person about any matter of academic or personal concern. The student may explore, in confidence, any problems or feelings that are important to him. The goal of such counseling is to help the student to grow in self understanding so that he can better cope with bothhis immediate decisions and future decisions.

Group guidance is the second basic service offered. It is a new program offered by the counseling staff this semester. Larson stated, "group guidance is unique from all other courses in that the topics for discussion are completely determined by the students themselves."

It is a one unit course designed to give students the opportunity to share their immediate concerns with a small group

of their fellow students. The course meets twice a week for nine weeks. Students interested in enrolling for the groups should add the class to their prese nt s chedule as soon as possible, according to Mr. Larson.

Although it is too late to ente r the groups now established, the c ourse will start again Nove mber 17. The course will be organized by a member of the counseling staff which includes , Mr. Larson (chairman), Mr. Oscar B. Gibbs, Mrs. Cynthia J. Poole, Mis s Martha J. Lehr and Miss Donna Reiser.

Larson said of the groups, "All groups have their own individulaity. ~ He went on to say that the groups discuss a large range of subjects, such as problems relating to study habits, educational goals and conflicts, pers onal goals and conflicts and any matter of c once rn that may arise in the group.

The units earned in the course can be applied for an AA degree as electives and will transfer to most institutions, according to Larson.

Aside from the regular counseling duties, the staff has been involved in helping disadvantaged students and members of minority groups.

Larson said that some special problems of students are handled by the counseling staff such as financial aid or help with language problems.

He went on to say that if any problem arises which the counseling staff can't handle, they will 11efer the student to someone who can.

The staff also offers interest and aptitude testing for students.

Moratorium numbers grow; President Nixon holds ears In one of his rare displays of emotfon, President Nixon showed a combination of determination and fear in his response to a reporter's question at his latest news conference about the plans for mas sive anti-war protests this fall.

"I have often said that there 's really very little we can do with regard to running the university and college campuses of this country. We have enough problems running the nation, the national problems.

Now I understand that there has been and continues to be opposition to the war in Vietnam on the campuses and also in the nation.

As far as this kind of activity is concerned, we expect it.

"However," the President said, "under no circumstances will I be affected whatsoever by it."

Nixon's determined sentiments are similar to the position Lyndon Johnson took during the anti-war action of 1966 and 1967. Came 1968 and Johnson was affected. Richard Nixon realizes this and is trying very hard to minimize the effects of the anti-war movement as it re- builds itself this fall.

The build- up appears to be mostly in numbers, rather than in new tactics.

The Vietnam Moratorium Committee is relying on the same tactics--class boycotts, teach-ins, rallies--which domipated the anti-war movement of the Johnson years. The new mobilization Committee (to End the War in Vietnam) likewise is still relying on masthe government to "bring the troops home now."

The difference this year is the support the anti-war movement is getting from the populace. With the number increasing rapidly, 500 student body presidents and editors have signed the .call for the moratorium on classes Oct: 15.

Organizers now expect one million students to participate.

Organizational meetings at several campuses such as Syracuse University have drawn more than 1,000 students. A half-day petition campaign in support of the moratorium at George Washington University brought more than a 100 signatures.

Even administrations are getting into the act. Rutgers University's administration has announced the university will officially observe the moratorium. At other universities administrations have reminded faculty members they may call off classes for the 15th and cautioned them against scheduling exams that day.

It will be particularly difficult for Nixon to ignore the protest if it comes, as is beginning to seem likely, from as a wide a range of constituencies as students, university administrators, labor unions , some business men, and even

some Republican members of Congress.

Senator Charles Goodell, a Republican (NY), and Rep. · Allard Lowenstein (D-NY) both have demanded that Congress set a time limit by which all U.S. troops must be withdrawn. Other members of Congress are endorsing the proposals, including a caucus of Democrats who will support the Moratorium and hope to make Congress unable to meet Oct. 15 due to a lack of a quorum.

The President's hopes that his token withdrawals and draft call reductions would satisfy the growing numbers who believe the war should have been stopped long ago (not to mention the draft) already have been dashed . The plans for anti-war action continue to prosper, and the sincerity of the President's draft reductions continues to be challenged.

IT'S ALL SO SIMPLE

The peaceful people live on

By Jackie Easley In the tiny hamlet of Palomarcos, there lived a group of honest, hardworking, upr ight citizens. The citizens of Palomarc os nrided themselves on their peaceful little hamlet, their peaceful little busines ses, and most of all, on their peaceful little childr en.

Day by day, the peaceful people of Paloma r cos watched their community grow, their businesses thri ve , and their peaceful little c hildren grow up to be peaceful young adults.

It was then that the people of Palomarcos r ealized that they needed to establish some system of educating their peaceful young people--completely for the benefit of the child ren, of course.

And so, they chose a peaceful little plot of land just outside of Palomarcos and built a s hiny new school--a college of highe r learning.

Soon the peaceful little Palomarcos campus was bustling with peaceful little Palomarcans --- all busily engaged in learning figures and memorizing very important facts. They were all good students, never questioning anything their instructors said.

One by one, however, outsiders began to filter into the peaceful little campus.

Little people from all over the county began to flock to the little campus, all in search of meaning and truth. Among these peaceful little people were some not-so-peaceful people who had a reputation for stirring up the peaceful people--telling them that there were problems on their little campus, and inadequacies in their studies! Worst of all, these problem people tried to convince the peaceful little 'people that they should voice their opinions openly and

IEWSPAPERABILITYII

speak out against the people they thought were wrong.

Now the peaceful adults who headed the college were aware that problems were rousing on their peaceful little campus-and if there was one thing the peaceful people didn't like to have, it was problems!

So they took pity on the poor misunderstood problem people who could not comprehend the peaceful society, and decreed a special code of guidelines to help them to understand the peaceful people-and in turn realize how wonderful a peaceful society can be .

And so the leaders of the campus came together and agreed that the "Guidelines for Communicating with Peaceful People" was the best thing for the little campus.

Of course, much thought went into the writing of the Guidelines. Making sure to distinguish who the peaceful people were and who the problem people were, the paper assured both groups representation at all of the many "peaceful parleys" held on campus, and invited them to voice their opinions in the "Peaceful Press," assuming of course that any contributions would be within the confines of the Peaceful Publication Policy .

The Guidelines assured the members of the peaceful community that they could submit matters of great concern directly to the Board of Peacemakers, but politely reminded them that peacemakers have a busy schedule and should not be bothered unless the proposal is either (a)urgent, or (b) compelling.

Three other recommending agencies at Palomarcos were set up to consider the "other-than-urgent-or-compelling" proposals. They included the ASP (Associated Student Peacefuls), the Faculty Parliament, and the Administrative Parley--and the Guidelines outlined a detailed list of criteria to be considered by

the peaceful people before they submitted their proposals to these agencies.

In conclusion, the writers of the Guidelines s tated that they believed the problem people and the peaceful people could live together harmoniously for the good of the college--if the problem people would just accept the ways of the peaceful people.

When the leaders of the problem people read the Guidelines and realized what the peaceful people were trying to do to them, they revolted. They refused to change their thoughts and opinions and most of all, they refused to be forced into regimental communication. Instead they left Palomarcos.

Before the problem people left, they tried to convince the peaceful young people that despite the Guidelines, all was not well on the little campus. But no one listened. No one protested. They just accepted what came.

And as the years passed, the peaceful little campus got back to normal. With the problem people gone, the peaceful little people could go back to memorizing facts and dates. It was all so simple!

Year by year, thepeacefullittlepeople of Palomarcos watched their community grow, their careers thrive, and, in time, their own peaceful little children grow.

And the peaceful little people became more and more peaceful- - and more and more little.

Record Rap

By Ken Scandlyn A newly released album on a blues oriented label, "Fathers and Sons," represents a perfect blending of older Negro blues men with their younger white counterparts.

T.he two-record set features Muaay Waters, vocals and guitar; Otis Spann, piano; Michael Bloomfield, guitar; Paul Butterfield, harmonica; Donald "Duck" Dunn, bass; and Sam Lay, drums. Buddy Miles, Jeff Carp, Paul Asbell and Phil Upchurch perform on individual tracks.

Sides one and two were recorded for Chess Records appropriately in Chicago. If you dig harps, "All Aboard''• the initial track, features some of Butterfield's best work plus Carp on chromatic.

Bloomfield's bottleneck guitar work on "MMJ). Oisposition" is reminiscent of. Son House and Robert Jo1mson 11nd his own earlier days with the Butterfield Blues Band.

Sides three and four, recorded live at the Super Cosmic Joy-Scout Jamboree offers probably one of the best live blues recordings ever . . . "Super Sessions" included.

Butterfield once again displays his mastery of the harp, tieing it all in with vocals by Waters and excellent guitar solos by Bloomfield.

Spann, while not as overpowering as Bloomfield and Butterfield, provides some interesting keyboard work and serves as a catalyst for an impressive session.

The remarkable thing about this album, however, is the fact that the music hits so close to the real roots of blues and that it is performed together, by both black and white bluesmen, dispelling the accusation that white men can't play the blues.
