'Of Mice and Men' features
original characterization Palomar College 's drama department produc tion of John Stei nbeck's "Of !\lice and !\len" will portray the nove l's characters as c losely as possible to the original characteri za tion. 1r . Buddy Ashbrook, drama instruc tor and director, said, "We are primarily obligated to keep within the playwright's intent--as to the best of our ability. If at times pointing up certain values a nd aspects, or in other cases , cutting certain segments, can embellish the author's intention--we will do it." One of the play's major concerns is to keep the audience sympathetic with charac ters of Le nnie and Curley's wife. Curle y's wife has in the past been

Faculty reps form language workshop Faculty representati ves from seven area high schools met with Palomar language teachers on February ll to participate in a foreign language workshop. The meeting r esulted in the formation of "The Association of Department s of Foreign Languages of San Diego County." This organization will include instructors from juni or high, high schools, junior and four-year colleges, and universities. ''The Association was organized to improve communications between all levels of all foreign language instruction. It will also provide an opportunity for teachers of all languages to meet on common ground," commented Mrs. Marilyn Crist, supervisor of the Foreign Language Department. Palomar College is the tentative host for the annual language workshops. The second such meeting is scheduled for this fall.
Associated Women Students president is Teresa Green. Acco rding to Jon Engle, ASB president, "The number of people running for office and the usual amount who vote indicates that the students on this campus lack the ability to grasp the importa nce of a well-run, highly organized a nd effective student government. "These elections and the amount of
people who run and turn out for these elections proves to me that when a student screams for rights he forgets the second part of that statement--which is responsibility. And responsibility begins at home." The polling place, set up at a special table in the front of the Student Union, will be open from 8 a.m. today until 3 p .m.

While viewing the play, l\1r. As hbrook wants the aud ience to be aware of the characters faults but at the same time be sympathetic toward them. The villi an of the play, Curley, will be symobolicall y dressed in all black, and will probably have hi s hair dyed black also. Originally, "Of Mice and Men" was in a short novel form . John Steinbeck was urged to adapt it into a drama by a leader of a small dranati c group in San Francisco. It achieved almos t Instant success there, and was moved to Broadway with a new professiona l cast in the same year (1937)." Mr. Ashbrook also added that the play received the highest award a play can achieve, the New York Drama Critic's Award. Among the plays it defeated that ye ar was Thorton Wilder's "Our Town." In reference to the language used in the book Mr. As hbrook sais, "Swearing will be used only when it is important to the atmosphere a nd mood of the play, or when used in characte r development.••

Afro exhibit in La Jolla In cooperation with the University of California at San Diego, the La Jolla Museum of Art will mount a major exhibition of the work of African and American Black artists through March 29. DIMENSIO S OF BLACK, an exhibition comprising approximately 300 art works which have been borrowed from more than 30 major museums and scores of private collectors has been organized by Professor Jehanne Teilhet of UCSD and her students . The inspiration to show to others the cultur al heritage of Africa came out of a class in Afro- American Cu ltural Traditions, taught by Miss Teilhet, who had been called from field work in Niegeria in September , 1968, to initiate the cours e at UCSD. The c lass of Black and White students, became c hallenged by the id ea of presenting a compre hensive ex hi bition, tracing Black art from its African origi ns through the art produced by s laves in the pre-Civil War period, and encompassing the work of contemporary Black artists .

DICK GREGORY
Dick Gregory speaks today Comedian Dick Gregory, Peace and F r eed om candidate for the presidency in 19 68, will speak on campu~ today at 10 a.m. in the Dome on the theme "Civil Rights and Black Power." Gregory, who was active in the '6f campaign as a write-in candidate, haE become a well-known comedian in television, stage and motion pictures, and ir recent years has turned much of hiE attention to the civil rights movement. Gregory's autobiography, "Nigger, • has become a bestseller. He is als< the author of "Sermons" and "Write Me In," published during his campaign. He combines a personal dedication with humor and is indefatigable in working for his ideas of equality of civil rights. Gregory's lecture is one of thirteen being sponsored by the Community Service College Series during 1969-70. Future speakers will be Bernard Lovell, March 31; Clinton Rossiter, April ll; Ansel Adams , April 20; and Guy Carawan, May 20.
The goal of transcendental meditation is to expand the mind to its fullest poetential. It also allows the conscious mind to experience increasingly more subtle states of thought until the source of thought is reached and therefore enable a man to use his full potential in all fields of thought and action. Then a person begins to reflect and enjoy that unlimited potential in his own activity and begins to experience, in his own terms, a better life. Next Wednesday a lecture will be given by Ron Issachson at the meeting. Issachson has been active in transcendental mediatation for over two years and will speak of his experiences.

Comet cagers host Base bailers Chaffey tomorrow w1n in three of first four
Still Mission conference contenders the Comets will host cellar dwelli ng Chaffey tomorrow night at the Dome at 8 p.m. Coach Andy Gilmour and his Comet cagers have placed themse lves in a very precarious position. Following their 93-75 loss to Southwestern they find themselves with two battles to fight. First the Comets have to finish out the season with three victories and second, they are hoping the conference leaders (Grossmont, Ri verside, and San Berdoo) will be tabbed with another loss, as the season nears its end. The Comets went into the Southwestern gym with a share of the lead, but at the game's end found themselves in an uphill fight for their lives. The Apaches utilizing a 2-2-l zone pass continuely harrassed the Comet guard forcing them to turn the ball over time after time. Chris Anderson and Don Brady were the big guns for the Apaches with 32 and 24 points apiece.
Forward Earl May continues to be the "consistent comet", as he ne tted 21 point, grabbed ten rebounds and had four assets. Karl Hiene was the only other Comet in double figures finishing with 10 points and pulled down ll rebounds. The locals took advantage of their break in conference action last Saturday to visit UCLA's Pauley Pavilion for an afternoon contest with the Brubabes. The Comets trailed by only three at halftime and came back to take the lead by seven, only to relinquish both the lead and game, falling short 99-76. Bob LeBrun paced the Comet scoring with 20 points, followed closely by Earl May with 19 and Charlie Ayars with 18. Ayars also led the team with 10 rebounds.

Comet baseball continues o n its winning ways as they dumped neighboring :\1ira Costa 5- 2 l ast Wednesday. Pitching, thought to be the one weakness, continues to be the strong point of the c lub. Fair pitchers worked the nine innings allowing only four hits and one earned run. \Valt :\lack started the game comple ting three innings giving up two hits and one run . Joe Reyes relieved :\Tack, and worked three innings allowing only two safeties. Veteran Dennis !\!elton then worked two innings of hitless ball. Bill Sanchez threw the final frame also holding the Spartans hitless. Mira Costa scored their final run on the last inning. Again the third inning saw the Comets get started as Mack opened up with a single. Dick Brittain moved Mack to second and found himself safe at first on a throwing error by the first baseman. With runners at first and second Kevin Snyder bunted the Spartan pitcher fielded it and, attempting to cut off Mack at third, threw the ball into left field. Mack scored, Brittain moved to third and Snyder was put out in a run down between second and third . Art Warren knocked in the final run of the inning as he grounded out to the second baseman, scoring Brittain. The Comets then added scores in the fifth and eighth innings Palomar finished third in their own invitational tournament over the weekend here. Dennis Melton, who worked six innings in the debut victory overy Imperial Valley, came back l ast Saturday to shut out the College of the Desert 7-0, allowing only three hits while going the distance. Along with Meltons' mound performance the Comets put together 10 hits in blowing COD out from the very beginning. Shortstop Jim Dean opened the third inning with a single and advanced to second on a sacrifice fly by third baseman Alan Conley. Catcher Bob Lackey and right fielder Tony Sepich then walked to load the bases. Melton doubled scoring Dean a nd L --.ckey, and Sepich crossed home on a sacrifice fly by second baseman Dick Brittain. The three-run third inning period to be the only margin the Comets needed as they added four more scores to their total over the remaining s ix innings. Others collecting hits were Dan Gabbard, Kevin Snyder, and Frank Hoops. Palomar reached the winning bracket in their opener with IUC , only to fall shor' agai nst San Antonio last Friday, in their bid for a championship berth. The mounties came away on the winning side of a 3-1 score, evening Palomar's record at 1-1. "I'm pretty pleased with our performance so far," Comet coach Jim Clayton said .' ' We made a few mental mistakes, but the season is young and that is to be expected . It looks as if we might make a pretty fair ball club."

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, Once again ignorance, emotionalism (vs. logic), and reluctance to change have defeated the cause of a minority group. While 5 per cent of humans are lefthand ed, 0% of Palomar c lassroom desks a r e designed for left banders. Since desks have to be purchased periodically to replace broken ones anyway , why not buy left-handed desks as replace ments until there is the proper proportion of them, providing they don't cost any more? This, in essence, was my proposal. But e ither the concept was too complex for the council members to grasp, or the idea of doi ng something new and different was alien to the council. One left-hand ed counc il member even turned against hi s own people and denounced my plan as too petty. I have not given up hope. I can still write the letter to the administrative council myself, there are still leftbanders who care about their comfo rt, there are right-handers who care about their left-handed brothers, and there is a Mecha- :.\1aya organization that cares about students. Jerry Meyer
