FORMER FRU« PEDDUR, SHOE-SHINE BOY

• tudent uits ·ob lor how us1ness

By Richard Hardy "Ten years from now I could probably retire from my present job, but then I would see a famous actor on the cover of a big magazine, and know it could have been me.''

For Palomar student Vic Machanis, that statement means that he will soon "throw away a job of seven. years," to devote himself fully to making it in show business.

His only regret-- "I should have done it five years ago."

Interviewed after the showing of his first movie, "The Ballad of Rocky Racoon," a take-off on the Beatie's tune, Vic related some of the background that he brings to the task he has set for himself.

Reclining in a non-reclining metal chair, this 28 year old "kid from the windy city" talked flowingly about his past, as a shoe-shine ooy;fruit peddler, car salesman, tuna fisherman, cattle ranch hand, and finally, a newspaper distribution manager.

"My first stint in show business was as a night-club singer," he recalled, "and I like to think of myself in the same general area of style as Tom Jones or Elvis."

Vic's appearance, however, brings to mind another Victor--Victor Mature, in his earlier years.

"Some of the jobs I've had paid well," he continued, "but I get bored doing. the same things over and over again."

The affable Mr. Machanis' eyes brightened as he enthused, "With acting there is a new challenge with every new role.

It's a form of self expression that can't oe boring. Youcan'tmasteritall, there's just no way."

To look at the way he's got himself spread out you would think he was trying to master it all. In what he calls "a

crash program in theater," Vic is curr ently enrolled in 15 units at Palomar-all theater arts. These include beginning acting, intermediate acting, oral interpretation, voice and diction, and stage directing.

"I'm trying to do in six months what most people do in years," he declares.

Presently this determination has brought Vic the director's chair for a play by fellow student Rich Creighton of Encinitas. It is a message comedy-drama titled "Marriage of True Minds" and is scheduled for mid- May in the drama lab.

Upcoming opportunities for the aspiring actor include a part in a new musical entitled "Celebrate!" at the Patio Play-

Vic Machanis

house ln Escondido, and then the Felicita P ageant tryouts.

F or inspiring him and building his confidence , Mr. Machanis gives Norman Gaskins of the drama department a lot of the credit. "I came to him a nothing, no experience, just a lot of desire. The first time I read for him it was for a part in 'Of Mice and Men' and I was really uptight and nervous, " he admitted.

"I was just sure I blew it," he continued, "and knew that I could do better, so I asked to take the script home and practice and try again the next day. Then when I found out I got the part, I was scared--not being really sure I could handle it."

He lauds Mr. Gaskins' foresight and faith in him and for "a chance to create."

All the media are regarded by Vic as fair game, "but with live theater you can really feel the mood, the vibrations, the tensions set up between the audience and yourself." The eager thespian went on to remark that he would enjoy working in movies and television, especially the serio-comic vein as in "I Spy." Aside from the esthetic considerations, Vic cites as an advantage "the rapport of actors and actresses working with each other--an interdependence-like one big happy family. "And let's face it," he further attested, "the money is pretty good if you make it."

Barring anything catastrophic, this time next year will find Vic Machanis in Los Angeles with a part-time job and an agent and without the sports cars and snow skiing he has been accustomed to in the past (not to mention the girls).

All those things will have to wait while Vic does the necessary "suffering" and "pays his dues," so that, among other things, he can make that magazine cover someday.

More than 100 courses in practically all academic and vocational fields and six special workshops are scheduled for the summer session at Palomar which is expected to draw a record enrollment.

Acting president Virgil L. Bergman said, "The summer session program has been expanded to enlarge the college's services to the district public through a greater variety of courses.

The special two-week workshops inparticular are designed to benefit a large cross-section of our district citizens."

Charles A. Coutts, assistant dean of instruction and director of the summer session, said registrations may be made now, in advance of the official registration dates of June 25 and 26, "for the greater convenience of those who wish to register early."

Coutts said the regular classes will begin June 29 and the session will end in August.

The workshops, expected to attract capacity enrollment, have other opening and closing dates, and were announced as follows: "Aerospace Workshop," June 22-July 2. "Desi gn Through P hotography Works hop," J une 22-July 2. " Organic Gardening Workshop," J une 22- J uly 2. "Advertising for Small Businesses, " a c ourse especially designed for owners,

The institute dates are June 22 to August 14.

EDITORIAL

EDITORIAL

Can you hear me? Is Last Wednesday over 2500 students did not take an active role in Palomar' s first ''student boycott", a faculty-endorsed boycott.

And why? I can only draw conclusions from the evidence; but, right here on our own all-too-often apathetic campus, was a chance for us to come together as a group with a purpose : "Boycott classes Wednesday, May 13.

If you do not consider yourself a member of Nixon's apathetic si lent majority, then it is your duty to voice your opinion, pro or con, on the murders at Kent State, the expansion of the war into Cambodia and the withdrawal of our brothers from Viet Nam. All day there will be an open mike for those interested - - voice your opinion--democracy or bureaucracy., And what happened to this boycott?

It failed. The crowd barely numbered above 200 before the music from a band, which served no purpose , and the lunch break brought others to the free speech area.

What kind of a res ponse is that from a student body of over 2800?

It seems that only the conce rned students, interested in understanding the views of others, willing to boycott their classes, willing to "sacrifice" one "educational" day for the chance to exchange ideas, came.

But how many ideas were exchanged?

How many views were heard? Mainly one . The view that we should stop the war in Viet Nam. Only one speaker supported Nixon's war policy.

Just one speaker had the guts to oppose the audience composed of "all those long-haired

I

radicals who march in the streets and demand withdrawal." With the response shown, it' s no wonder that many in the audience felt unhappy at the resu lts of the open mike, and that other topics were brought up and discussed.

Listen people, it's obvious to me and I'm sure to others, that those of you who didn't s how up are Palomar's own members of that illustrious group, the "Silent Majority. " But why are you silent?

Are you afraid of speaking up? Of defending your views? Of being wrong?

Of missing a c las s? Of getting an F for one day?

I' ve heard the line that you don't need to express you r views , your actions speak for you.

Well, I'm not believing it. What does staying away prove ?

Communication would seem to have been the boycott's problem. But was it ? Could it jus t have been one side's r efusal to li sten to others ?

Those of you that didn't come to the boycott, look at you r selves and eac other, at what you are doing to yourselves. You tend to complain about those who demonstrate. But what do you do?

Attend c lass day after day, eat, sleep, work, you are maintaining the machine.

You are being "good c itizens".

You are standing back and le tting your "good leaders" speak for you . Well, speak for yourselves!

The next time an occasion arrives to voice your opinion or to exc hange ideas, for your sake- -DO IT! --willie parks

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor: I wish to c larify my remarks in my letter as published in the May 12 edition of the TELESCOPE. I did not mean to imply that MECHA destroys or ruins anything. My point was that of the groups sign covering a major portion of the only publicity I had.

To the members of M ECHA (with the exception of the one person who placed that s ign), I do apologize.

Dear Editor: After readi ng three issues of the Telescope, and seeing nothing but praise and backing for the "Students for Change" I feel that it's time that someone gave the other side of the picture. First, only two of the candidates (a nd they are both running for rep-at-large) have ever had any experience in college student government. They are the only members of the slate that have tried to construc tively help the council this year or even volunteer for committee work. As a matter of fact the only meetings the other candidate s have seen fit to atte nd were the ones that they were required to attend in order to run for office.

I sincerely question their concern for the student if after a whole year of complaining, the record shows that they only attended two meetings and never volunteered to help anyone on the council.

I might point out that one of their platform stands is a more effective development of the budget.

They forget to mention that this year's budget committee saved the student body $24 ,000 in unrelated salaries of secretaries.

They also forget to mention that there were vacancies on the budget committee due to lack of people willing to work.

Where were they this year? If they were too busy to work this year, where will they fi nd the time to work next year? As for the "facist (sic), imperialistic operation of the .-\SB bookstore, I first want to request that the authors of this statement learn what the wo r ds facist (sic) and imperialist mean.

Second, I might point out that the bookstor e is controlled by the administration a nd the profit is given to· the A.SB if a nd when a profit is made . The .-\SB is not liable for the loss es of the bookstore, and the salaries of the wo r kers a re taken from the gross of the bookstore not from ASB funds. Bookstore p olicy is set by the administration and to a degree by the publishers of the books, who demand that their books not be sold below a set price. This leads one to the conc lusion that the .-\SB has no real control over the bookstore, yet benefits, t his year to the tune of a $17,000 addition to our budget, from it. If these people were as concern~d as they claim, they would know this, since these facts are public information. Denial of this source of revenue does not appear to coincide with a more effective budget.

The only other source of income is from the sale of ASB cards. By eliminating the card as a requirement for voting or holding office , they are in effect saying that people who are not members of the ASB can run the ASB

and control the budget, which runs anywhere from $45, 000 to $80,000, which contains none of their money. I find it interesting that these people would be so concerned over the welfare of the ASB that they would desire to guide it, yet they are unwilling to support the very organization that they wish to run.

Finally, I must say that the "Students for Change" concern for the students seems to have existed for a whole three weeks, and is guided only by ignorance and inexperience. Is this the leadership which the students need ?

Dear Editor, The "Students for Change" refuse to resort to a mud-slinging campaign based on childish, irrational, ignorant, and often superficial opinions .

Thank God, that the students of Palomar College are too intelligent to fall for suc h tac tics.

Dear Editor, In r e gard to the boycott and related activities of Wednesday, May 13th, I would like to express an opinion.

I felt a sincere effort to bring to light the feelings of the students was accomplished, and it is commendable.

Howeve r, it seems that no effort was or is being made to find a solution to war, violence, and hate, the main concerns. If we would ask ourselves what is the real cause of war, we would find the answer lies in mankind's nature.

We are not abl e to have peace and love, even with our fellow human be ings (including police).

The Bible te ll s us God's plan for peace: "When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him." (PROVERBS 16:7) .-\pparently our ways of living, or our re lationships to God are not pleasing to Him. I urge everyone to think about this, and act upo n it. Then, when we change our hearts, through Christ, from being full of hate, greed, and pride, to being full of lO\'e, care, and concern, we can have real peace.

Dear Editor : In your article on boycotting of cl asses, you say "Students expressing both pro and anti - war fee lings began speaking . .. '' In your article you quote only the anti- war speakers! This is prejudiced reporting and editing!

Since only about 250 students were involved, out of a student population of over 2, 000 , it would seem that the silent majority, by their non- participation do not agree with the feelings of the very vocal great minority.

What did the pro- war speakers say?

Arch Ledketter #00277

Dear Editor, It is interesting to note that just before every ASB election a small group of students fi nd s the energy to c all for change in the ASB . This energy usually lasts until after the election, when they discover that student government is hard, fr ustrating, work. That is usually all that is needed to cause them to fade away.

It might be a real eye-opener for them to win, then they could be the ASB Council and be the target of the criticism by the next group.

Open road to peace through non-violence For two weeks now college students throughout the country have been reacting to President Nixon's decision to move U. S. troops into Cambodia. Although some of their demonstrations have been s plattered with blood and violence, the students may see that something good will come out of their efforts.

Certainly many more people have become aware of the war in Viet Nam. Certainly this nation has seen that a great majority of college students wants to see some definite steps taken to end the war in Viet Nam. Ce rtainly President Nixon has sensed how many Americans are sick and tired of the war in VietNam. The college protests have been in the national spotlight too long to be forgotten overnight. If s tudents continue to make

the mselves be hear d, but in a NONVIOLENT way, it will help keep people listening.

Although not every college student has taken an active part in the marches and boycotts of the past two weeks, let's hope that they at least reali ze what has happened . This was the first time that young people on college campuses all over the nation have "come together," united for a common cause-and they were heard.

Let's hope that those students who lost their lives during the course of the last two weeks did not do so in vain. Let's hope that the efforts made to stop the war were not made in vain. Perhaps the recent campus protests will play an important part on the long road to peace in VietNam .

-- j.g.

YOU'RE NOBODY TILL SOMEBODY HIRES YOU.

May they be successful beyond their wildest dreams after which they will be then forced to live up to their promises which could be harder than they think.

Thank - God I will not be here next year to see the s hambles.

Dear Editor, I am writing in r espons e to a letter from Martha Miller concerning concentration of our population.

Would you like to live in the Mohavi (sic) Desert? What about on an iceberg in Alaska? I do not wish to be unkind, but feel the need to make blatant statements about our overpopulated world, it is essential that we limit out population to 2. 2 children per couple to ensure a future life for those yet unborn.

We do not have the resources to accommodate a population expanding at the rate it has been.

I urge you Martha to think more on the subject of our population density.

I do not wish to have a child who must live in an area where there is not pleasant climate, and a few trees and birds .

This limit of population would never lend to its extinction, only the preservation of life as we now enjoy it- - with a few changes in mind, of course !
