Palomar faculty receives new eight percent salary increase Pa l omar College faculty members were voted a n eight per cent salary increase for the 1969- 70 college year by the Board of Governors . The new rate wi ll inc r ease minimum and maximum pay schedules from $7,125- $14 , 250 to $7,695- $15,390. An additional $500 a year is paid to instructors with doctorate degrees . The increase in aggregate will amount $137,000 this year. Adoption of the increase followed recommendations made by Dr. Frederick R. Huber, college president, who said funds for it we re now in propsect from the college's probably revenues from taxes, state funds, and other sources in the 1969- 70 term . The eight per cent raise also has been recommended by the Faculty Senate. An increase of 10 percent for nonteaching employees is under consideration by the board and will be up for a decision at the Oct. 28 session. A 7 1/2 percent raise has been requested by the classified employees as a costof- living increase, and Dr. Huber indicated the administration recommendation will be based on a report from a State Personnel Board survey whose preliminary study recommended the ten

percent increase. Detai ls will be available before the Oct. 28 board session. The board received a report of total fall enrollment of 5,304 students in all divisions- - regular day, evening classes, and adult educat ion, compared with 4,949 last year. Day class attendance stands at 2, 766, up about 10 percent. In other action, the board heard a report from the Associated Student Body refunds of the ASB $20 fee to students who previously raised the issue that the assessment had been paid by some who had been led to believe the fee was mandatory. Frank Mott, ASB president, said hearings on requests for refunds had been under way and that a total of 85 s tudents had been granted refunds. Dr. Bruce Jaques, board president, said, "The ASB has made a good effort to right any wrongs that may have occurred in this matter." Board member Milo Shadle said "I think the ASB has done an excellent job in trying to take care of the situation. " The board heard plans for e nlarge ment in the college parking grounds, including a project for development of the first increment of the 20 acres purchased by the district three years ago.

By Jackie Easley Oct. 15 has come and gone . T he guitar-playing folksingers sang their songs. The long- haired protestors voiced their c laims . The trigger- happy photographers got their prizes and left. And as a flag-draped coffin made its way to Cardiff, an organizer of Palomar's Vietnam Moratorium wept. For three hours Wednesday Palomar students and faculty joined together to eulogi ze 38,000 American soldiers killed in Vietnam and to seek in some small way an e nd to the war. The reading of a li st of Californians killed in action began Palomar's largest campus demonstration to date. A black flag- draped coffin symbolizing the war dead was placed in front of the flagpol e. . . and the list of dead went on and on. In P-32, students packed the class room to view a Vietnam protest film that was shockingly realistic--offering views of war a ll the way from Steven Crane's "Red Badge of Courage" to Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant". The film succeeded in contrasting differe nt people's views of war and showi ng the s imilarities that all war has. A panel discussion was held in ES-19 during the hour in an effort to explain s ome of the aspects of the war. At 12 noon ceremonies moved back to t he grass around the casket and s tudents and faculty joined together to vo ice t he ir pleas for peace. Instructor William Bedford of the e ngineering department said , "It. takes a helluva lot of courage to say that something' s wrong. That's what we're

Madame Nehru lectu res to 400 to the poverty- ridden millions of India still holds good today," Madame Nehru said, "We may colonize the moon, but if we leave this earth in a mess it will do us no good . Madame Nehru and her husband es tablished the first Indian embassy in the United States after that country won her independence . Gandhi was assassinated on the day they were to leave Delhi for Washington D. C., She is a cousin of the first prime minister of India, Jawahruh Nehru, and is the only woman and only Asian ever to be elected a World Citizen. ''India was the first country in Asia to become free, and although she set off a chain reaction of countries seeking independence, today she is the only one to survive as a democracy," Madame Nehru said. In the general election of 1952 only 48 of the people voted, while in 1967 the turnout was 68 per cent. "In both elections the number of votes cast by women exceeded those of men, which in India is indeed an extraordinary occurrence . "

PEACEFUL CO-EXISTENCE PLEA

By Lois Cavalier Life expectancy has risen from 27 years to 53 years and literacy has climbed from 22 per cent to 47 per cent since India gained her independence in 1948, Madame Rajan Nehru told an audience of about 400 Monday night at MiraCosta College The lecture was a joint presentation i n the Community Service series by Palomar and MiraCosta colleges. A dinner at tended by faculty and admi nis tration members of both colleges honored Madame Nehr u immediately preceeding her talk. Madame Nehru described the conditions of India 21 years ago as a nation "sucked dry" by 150 years of British rule. "It was Mahatma Gandhi who gave this country its greatest gift, self-respect, and its greatest asset, fearlessness," she said, in telling of the completely non-violent manner in which India gained independence. "The message of peace, non-violence and understanding which he gave

In a plea for peaceful co- existence by all people of the world, Madame Nehru said that Indians have refused to produce atomic bombs and missiles because they prefer to develop the enormous industrial and social potential of t heir country. "Besides, if India produced these things our Asian neighbors would produce them , too, even if it meant ec onomic ruin "The greatest setback India suffered since winning independence was the attack by China on our northeastern border." Despite the fact that India successfully repelled the attack ''we were not happy and we did not rejoice over the victory." "The great nations of the world should examine their potential for peace and remember that all wars, no matter how well-meant they may be in protecting countries and people from aggression are at best exceedingly primitive," she said.

doing here today- -we're admitting that som e thing is wrong. But will we have to be here on another occasion ? Will these black marble slabs go all the way across?" Three fo lk s ingers, who urged the audience on the grass to class themselves as "one fa mily" sang: "Store your empty tears in old peanut butter jars . When will they all come home? Walk down the street .at noon- -gonna hear those angel's trumpets roar. Because the sky is clear and my heart is clean. When will they all come home?' And a voice from the Student Union announced that the World Series game was tied 1- l. English instructor Richard Peacock restated President Nixon's declaration that the war will last three more years, and then urged students to "Do what you say. Do what you think ! Do it! The people crying fo r war should live the ir rap--they shouldn 't hang around the campus. I won't do it. I don' t believe in it, and I'll do ever ything in my power to stop it." The unity of Wed nesday's c rowd was demonstrated when a group led by s tudent Bob Hoff presented a skit entitled "Whe n Johnny Com es Marching Home" . Because a microphone couldn't be used for the skit, the whole audience got up and moved together so they could hear. And a voice from the tudent Union said: "I don't know what's more in-

teresting- -the fo lks ingers or the dogs." ASB Social Chai r man Ric ha rd McGuckin offered his solution to t he war when he told the students to "Pray t ogether for the coming of the Messiah soon." And instructor Victor Heyden "laid it on" the crowd byclarifyingthree lies circulating among the U.S. public. "Number one is Tricky Dick's assert ion t hat 'tree- like by the Potomac he s ha ll not move.' Number two is Hugh Scott's as sertion that our agreement on peace differs only on means , and number three is Ronnie Reage n 's (our own Califor nian neanderthal in office) opinion that all those who support the moratorium are treasonous . " Heyden ended his t alk by stating that the men who keep us in war are proving a greater aid to the e nemy than anyone. Student Chris Hill attacked that aspec t of the war that is robbing the "American pocketbook" when he said, "Everythi ng being sent to Vietnam is taxed by the South Vie tnamese . They're taxing us to fight their war with our equipment. When a village is destroyed - -it is determined whether it was our fault- -and we pay for it. We're paying $1800 for eac h villager k illed, and $1200 per water buffalo. Hill cited the U.S. PX system as being involved in the black marke t, and urged the audience to recognize truth. A two minute prayer ended the moratorium at Palomar, and as the black casket was taken out to be driven to Glen Park in Cardiff for a peace rally, a voice from the Student Union announced t hat the Mets had won their game .

Gridders seek second win against Southwestern He ad Coach Mack Wiebe's Comets, off to a winning s tart in the new Mission Conference, will try and make it two straight tomorrow night when it battles Southwestern College. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. at Chula Vista High School. The Comets , who performed like a highly-tuned race car, took the checkered flag last Saturday night when they beat the league favorite Riverside 22- 7 before a homecoming crowd of 2,800. Horace Kendricks, Riverside's back of the year and high school All- American, got his Tige rs fired up when he scored on a 15 yard run in a game less than five minutes old. The Comets, who would fee l hurt if for help. It came in the form of a kickoff return, designed by Marrin especially for Riverside, called the "Lone Ranger". And lone he was after Shuichi Konces hand ed off to Louie Ruiz, on a reverse 86 yard touchdown return. Ron Rock's 32 yard field goal on the second play of the second quarter gave Palomar a 9-7 lead it never relinquished. Tony Letuligasenoa w i d en e d Palomar's lead by six points in the third quarter with a four yard plunge over the left side of the line. Although Tony was responsible for scoring, Dave Faulkner was responsible for recovering a Tiger fumble which stopped the Tiger drive . Another Faulkner fumble recovery at the Comets three yard line in the fourth quarter, set the Comets up for their final six points of the evening. Jim Moyer, who has scrambled into the starting quarterback position, then directed a 97 yard drive when he carr ied for the final 10 yards. The drive took 17 plays and ate up seven important minutes of the clock.

Winless harriers travel to SBVC Palomar's · cross country team, still winless but improving, travels to San Bernardino Valley College today for another Mission Conference meet at 4 p.m . T he Comets were blitzed by leaguelead ing Grossmont, 15- 48 , last week over t he Palomar fou r- mile course, but continued to show improvement, comparing t he i r times to those set on the same course against Citrus two weee earlier. John Simon, the fi r st Palomar fin isher against the Griffins and sixth overall, i mp r oved his time by 35 seconds. Bill Jones knocked 26 seconds off, Bob St rutton was 31 seconds better and Steve Juarez gain 15 . T he best overall im p roveme nt was turned in by Mark Blake s lee , whose time improved 2:03. The Comets are pointing to the Santa Barbara Invitations in two weeks.

AWS-WRA hold confab Coeds fr om five a r ea colleges participated in t hi s year' s AWS- WRA Annual Fall Conference yesterday in t he Stude nt Union. T he t heme of the conference ''Keys for Tomorrow ' ' inc luded session topics on campus disorders, campus communication, sex and the new morality, narcotics, and the role of AWS and WRA The guest speaker was Princess Alice, a daughter of a tribal chief from Malwi, Africa. She received her Masters' degree at California State Polytechnic at San Luis Obispo in education, and has been attending Cal- Western.

The Comets finally came out of their shell defensive ly. Key plays from Rory Reeves, Steve Bryant, Pat Farner and Faulkner caused Tiger quarterback Brant Foushee to e nd the game with a minus 30 yards rushing in 13 carries. Coach Wiebe was impressed by his four sophomores up front. "They played magnificently. They came up with the big play when we needed it." Concerning the future Coach Wiebe said "There isn't any team in the Mission Conference that will be easy to beat. It will take individual efforts like those against Riverside for us to compete against Southwestern. And then that might not be enough. '' The head man may be right . Now that Palomar has beaten the league favorite, it has taken the position of the number one team to beat.

Glass blowing is a new experience offered to advanced ceramics students this semester. Mr. Val Sanders a rt instructor, commented, "I became interested in gl ass blowi ng last May when I attended a seminar at San Mateo College . Since then I have attended several such seminars and feel that Palomar students will share my enthusiasm for the art." Mr. Sanders described the technique during a demonstration last week. "The students frequently formulate their own glass," he said, "which is then reduced to the proper liquid state by firing in a kiln approxinately five days at a temperature of 2200 degrees. Color is added duri ng this process. The liquid is tested periodically by blowing and when the proper state is reached the temperature is reduced and maintained at 2000 degrees." At this point, the substance assumed the consistency of honey and Mr. Sanders "gathered" a mass by i nserting a blow pipe into the glass kiln and twisting it until the sticky liquid adhered to it. "A temperature of J 500 to 1800 degrees must be maintained while manipulating the glass in order to keep it workable," he said. ~shoul d the glass become too cool, it must be returned to the kiln momentarily for reheating. On the other hand, a "m·arvering" proces s is e mployed for the purpose of cooling the glass. T hat is, the glass is rolled on a metal plate until cool." "'Marvering'" as well as 'blocking' is also used for shaping. In 'blocking', the glass is shaped by inserting it in fruitwood blocks and turning and molding the outer form," Mr. Sanders explained . He then demonstrated the art of establishing a "bubble" by blowing through a long hollow rod known as a "blow pipe" . He then demonstrated the art of establishing a "bubble" by blowing through a long hollow rod known as a "blow pipe". The "bubble" was then cooled, regathered and "blocked". At this point, Mr Sanders again blew through the "blow pipe" establishing a ball shape and then vigorously swinging the steel rod pendulum fashion, he explained that elongation was accomplished in this manner. Hand tools were used for various operations according to the shape desired. These are called "jacks". When the glass shape was formao, Mr. Sanders "gathered" a small mass on a "pontil rod" (punty) and after ~mar­ vering" it, attached it to the bottom of the piece on the blow pipe. He then separated the piece from the pipe by tapping, and it remained only on the solid steel "punty" . He returned the glass to the heat for a brief period and then began final shaping. "Handles and rim trim are added at this time," he said. He reheated the glass, "in order to maintain the uniformity of heat throughout the piece," and then tapped it off the "punty" into vermiculite and placed the finished glass in an "annealing" kiln. The instructor said the flass would be left there at a temperature between 950 and 1000 degrees for several hours and s lowly left to cool overnight. Mr. Sanders stated, ~Equipment for this course could amount to several thousand dollars. However, most of it was constructed on campus at minimum expense. A glass kiln alone ordinarily sells for $1500. Our construction cost was approximately $175." Blown glass pieces, along with ceramics, are being exhibited now through Oct. 10, in the Dwight Boehm Ga ll ery ~ Mr. Sanders emphasized however, that gl ass articles made by students cannot be sold with any guarantee at this time, because if not properly checked, the pieces could break from i nner stress . A machine which the art department hopes to acquire shortly is necessary for proper checking.
