Working with her in planning the workshop were Mrs. Ralph Elliott, chairman ofthe Escondido ADUW and Laura Vollmer, Palomar College AWS president.

Speaker for the event was Mrs. Martin Chamberlain, wife of the vice chancellor of the University of California at San Diego. Her topic was "Overseas Job Opportunities, and she explained in her talk and later at a workshop the steps that should be taken by women interested in working in other countries.

ACTION PROVOKES SCREAMS
added to English IV will be presented for the first time next semester according to action taken by the Administrative Council last week. It is an honors course which may be taken in lieu of any of the survey courses given in the English Department; that is: American English or World literature. Mrs. Ellen Wright will be the instructor for the course. Mrs. Wright is in her first full-time semester at Palomar, having taught part-time here during the summer. The course will be limited to ten students and in order to register, a s tudent must have a 3.0 GPA or special permission of the English Departme nt chairman. Students must register for the program and be interviewed by the English Department chairman and the honors program instructor. Richard Peacock, chairman of the English Department, says that the purpose of the course is to provide an approach to the three survey courses that stres s individual responsibility and to afford a more pe rsonal contact between the achieving student and the teacher. A student will be asked which area of literature he would like to work in. The student is then free to attend regular lectures in these c lasses , but the major thrust of his effort will be independent r esearch a nd c; tudy. Periodic private sess ions will be arranged with the instructor for guidance. Bi-weekly sem inars of an openminded nature will also be held , at which time the students in the program will m eet to read pape r s and discuss general problems in their areas . Students in the course will be expected to perform at a leve l uncommon in the regular classes. The seminar size will be quite low in order to allow for maximum persopal growth.

"Rashomon, • a play filled with action, will conclude its run withperformances tonight and tomorrow night in P-32. Some scenes in the play actuall y provoke screams from the audience , according to Buddy As hbrook of the speech-theater arts department. The screams were justified last Saturday night when Jim Southers was actually s tabbed in the hand accidentall y. His injuries were minor and the play never faltered. According to Ashbrook, the cast has shown improvement every night. Commenting on the play he said, "I have combined realism, symbolism, and abstract forms to arrive at the overall picture I wanted. Of all the productions we have put on at Palomar this has been one of the most challenging." Ticket prices are $.50 for students with ASB cards , and $1.50 forallothers. Mr. Norman Gaskins of the SpeechTheater Arts Department hailed the cast saying, "The teamwork has been superb.... Each person plays his character in good taste. They are quite believable. • The play uses the unique technique of the double flashback. A conve rsation between an old wigmaker, a priest, and a woodcutter flashes back to a courtroom, which in turn evolves into a forest scene. Out of this legend, a delicate, sometimes barbaric oriental mood is established .
the trial. A s urprise fourth interpretation is told by the woodcutter. Each ve rsion is true in its fashion and it is apparent at the outset that the play is repeating Pilate's ageless question: "What is truth?" Two small thrust stages partially surround the audience, with the scenes flashing to different stage areas. Gaskins said, "Our major problem, technically, was creating light effects, because there is no curtain." He noted that scene changes are made by crossfading the lights. This technique would fade lights on the set where the action is to fade ·out, and raise the lights where it is to resume. A total of three stages will be used. The left thrust stage will be the gate of Rashomon, the center stage the forest and the right thrust stage the police station. Ashbrook, of the Speech-Theater Arts Department directs the play along with assistant director, Barbera Price. Costumes are made by Sylvia Olcott, Tim Smith manages the stage, Sam Mount is in charge of props, Dave Humphries does the sound effects and Jeff Chamberlain is the lighting director.

New video space style .t o be shown in television program If you don't know anything about videospace and maybe have never heard about it, you probably still won't understand the new television techniq_ue, even after you watch "Heimskringla! oT the stoned A ngels~ this Sunday at 5 p.m. over KEBS-TV, Channel 15. Written especially for this new combination of every available electronic and color effect for television, "Heimskringla ! "recreates director Tom O'Horgan•s and author Paul Foster's ideas of the discovery of North America by Leif Erickson. The play is the first dramatic narrative to be produced in the process called videospace, written to complement the videospace style, as a •video-theater" piece, rather than as a normal progression of chronological events. It is an experience not lending itself to conventional plot synopsis, however, the story concerns Leif Erickson's trials in discovering North America, to disprove the Christopher Columbus theory. The 90-minute, color production has been described by its director: "Videospace abstracts a moment; it paints a line drawing of action and asks
the viewer to fill in the picture, to be a participant in the creating. ~''Like most modern works, it is not static . Paul Foster generally creates a form that abhors a fixed view. Anytime the audience is lulled into a feeling of complacency of decurity, he will pull the rug out from under them." "Videospace is a mosiac. Mosiac composed of sights and sounds. The material of videospace is electronic. Electrons are quintessentially motion. "In videospace, light and sound have been converted to electricity. Electricity is the movement of electrons. And the movement of electrons in videospace can be designed to look like and be heard like the natural world. "The images can be representational., The images can also be made to look like and be heard like whatever shapes we choose of an unnatural kind. We can combine images in such a way as to create a form essentially referential as against representational. • Now, if you understood what producer Howard is saying, you will tune in KEBS-TV, Channel 15 Sunday, just to see videos pace.
