IGo fly a kite' contest seeks original design "Go fly a kite." This common saying becomes a reality as Palomar's art department sponsors the first North County Country Kite Contest, Saturday, May 16. The contest, open to all within a 50-mile radius of the campus, will be held at Palomar from 1 to 5 p.m. Originality in design is what the judge will be looking for even though the idea behind it is not new. Award categories are numerous, so that as many people as possible may win. Categories consist of-- Functional Kites (flying), Decorative Kites (nonflying), Sculptural Designs (flying concept cons true ted of experimental or funky material), Best Flying Kite, Most Original Design, Ugliest Kite, Most Beautiful Kite . Other categories will be created if needed. The aim of the contest; according to Mr. Harry E. Bliss , art instructor and contest director, is to encourage handcraft for fun and creative ideas in design. He also encourages entrants to plan their entries now, build their kites, and then make it a family outing day. People are even encouraged to buy a 10 or 15 cent kite and just join in the fun of flying. Svetozar Radakovich, internationally known artist, designer and craftsman, will judge. Ceramic medallions are being made as trophies by Bliss and others. The trophies will correspond to the categories . There is a purple heart engraved with the word "hero" for the person whose kite crashes hardest, and a wedge of pie with wings for the best flying kite. A spontaneous kite contest developed last year involving Palomar students only. If this year's contest goes well, there are plans of making it an annual event. Registration is not required. However, registration cards should be given or sent to Bliss.

'Students for Change'seek ASB government reforms With spring ASB elections just two weeks away, representatives of four campus organizations, members of the student press, and independent students united this week to form a coalition whose purpose will be that of effecting changes in the present student government at Palomar from within the system. "Students for Change," made UJJ of student representatives from Young Democrats, Vets for Peace, l\1ECHA, Art Guild, and THE TELESCOPE staff have adopted a platform and will run a full slate of candidates in the upcoming elections . In meetings held on campus Tuesday and Wednesday, approximately 25 members of the coalition participated in choosing a slate of candidates and adopting a mutual party platform that will stress constitutional changes in the present ASB Constitution. The "Students for Change" slate includes: ASB president, Tom Pohle: ASB vice-pres ident, Jaimie Castenada: treasurer, Steve Hughes; and secretary, Jerraldeane Cheung for the four top offices and Terry Meyer, Willabert Parks, Jan Gustina, David Gruenbaum, Gary Young, Ray Larson, Steve Esquibel, and Carl Ebert for representative-at-large posts. Lee Settle and Katie Klies, Palomar students, are caught in action as they rehearse for the dance concert next week-
end, May 7, 8, and 9. Miss Billie L. Hutchings, dance instructor, choreographed all the dances for the program.
PETITION PROMPTS ACTION
ASB restores funds In council action Monday, members of the ASB voted to reconsider funding for Palomar's Art Department, left completely fundless on the recently approved minimum budget for fiscal year 1970-71. Jack Buchans, representing the Art Department and Art Guild, addressed the council with a petition signed by over 300 art students and concerned members of the student body calling for another meeting of the Budget Committee and reconsideration for some kind of funds from within the budget. Buchan' plea was met with a council vote that approved his reconsideration, but a decision was made to take care of the matter in the presence of the whole
council, rather than sending it to the budget committee. After considerable discussion, the council voted to give the Art Department some $900 dollars from the surplus funds on hand and, in addition, the first $1000 brought in over the anticipated budget from the sale of ASB cards. Funds allotted to the Art Department will be used to purchase artworks for the campus during the next year and to defray shipping costs of the pieces. The program for procuring fine art for the campus was initiated four years ago by the ASB council and the Art Department and each successive year the ASB has appropriated funds in the budget for the continuation of the program.

seums, tips, etc.," A hrend said. "We are staying and eating on school campuses. It's a rare bargain. "Time is growing short and anyone interested should telephone me either at Palomar College 744- 1150 or 727-7550 or at my home, evenings, at 724- 0667. I will be glad to answer any and all questions.''
The party platform originated when the four clubs met to form a list of individual grievances that they had against the student government. Development of those grievances led to the adoption of a platform that stresses student involvement and an end to apathy on campus. Major points covered in the "Change" platform are: "1) Elimination of the ASB card for voting and the adoption of a registration card to be presented at campus elections. 2) Changes in candidacy requirements for ASB elections,
Cinco de Mayo fete held at Grape Day Members of the North county People's Coalition are sponsoring a ''Cinco de Mayo" celebration to be held this Sunday at Grape Day Park in Escondido. Cinco de Mayo, the fifth of May, commemorates the Battle of Puebla, Mexico, where the imperialistic Napoleanic forces were defeated by the Mexicans. This celebration ·should not be confused with the Mexican Independence Day, which is September 16. The North County People's Coalition is composed of various groups in the North County who are interested in coming together to support one another. Scheduled speakers at the celebration includ e Ricardo Romo, gubernatorial candidate for the Peace and Freedom Party, representatives of the Grape Boycott, Folklorico dancers, and mariachis.
While there are only three openings left in the Palomar group, this tour is open to all students of high school and junior college age, according to Justus Ahrend, Palomar photography instructor. Ahrend and his wife are acting as counselors for the course which will leave July 12 for 6 weeks in Europe , visiting five countries. Leaving Los Angeles International Airport on a Boeing 707, the group will fly non-stop to Rome for a 10-day stay. "This is no 'This is Tuesday-- it must be Belgium' type of rush- rush affair," said Mr. Ahre nd. "We are staying an average of a week or more at each stop." "The students will spend each morning in class learning the history and culture -of the host country. Afternoons will be spent taking pictures and recording the lessons of the morning. The student will have a priceless record of his trip, since his picture taking will be supervised by an expert staff of photography instructors.' • The trip will include 10 days in Rome, 10 in Geneva, six at St. Malo on the Britany Coast of France, six in Brussels, and eight in London. A total cost of the trip is only $995 . "This is allinclusive and includes side trips, mu-
