he suffers from a profound sense of futility."

"No one cares!"

These words have long been the cry of the migrant farm worker, whose enormously complicated plight is currently in the spotlight.

Contending that money alone isn't the answer, he added, ":\Toney can build houses and buy food, but money alone cannot provid e the environment in which a man can live and grow with human dignity."

Now, after many years of ignoring, shelving and protesting the problem of the migrant farm worker in America, big business is finally taking its first significant steps to aid migrant labor.

He further pointed out that the nation's experience with anti-poverty programs has shown that participation in assistance programs by the poor was necessary.

J. Paul Austi n, president and chairman of the board of the Coca-Cola Company, in recent testimony before the Subcommittee on Migratory Labor of the Senate Committee on Labor and Public Welfare, outlined a " ·f arreaching'' program which his company has undertaken to assist the migrant farm workers employed in companyowned groves in Florida.

Interviewed by a company task force consisting of three men and one woman, the migrants told the company that they needed to identify with the company, wanted to own their own homes, needed job security, health and life insurance, training, grievance procedures, better relations with supervisors and some degree of community involvement.

Testifying on July 24, 1970, Austin told the Senate Subcommittee hearing that his company had been at work on the program for over a year.

The plan adopted by the Coca-Cola Company is designed to answer these needs, according to Austin, who included a detailed statement which described a program for helping migrants.

Calling for a long-range multimillion dollar program to assist migrant workers in Florida, and for a "National Alliance of Agri- Businessmen," he said, "As a citizen, I am concerned about the plight of every migratory worker in the nation; as a corporate executive I am directly responsible for the migratory workers employed by my company.''

The program contained steps including: l. Full- time employment to the degree possible .

2. Improved housing and improved transportation to groves for workers.

3. Day school and nursery for children.

4. Skills training for adults to equip them to get out of field jobs and into permanent jobs.

5.

Health facilities, both fixed and mobile, for field service.

6. Improved recreational facilities.

7. Information centers on local, state and federal aid programs.

8.

Better tools for the field work to simplify harvesting procedures.

Austin explained that ''. . . the problem of the migratory worker in America is an enormously complicated one. It is, first and foremost, a human problem of severe psychological isolation.

It is an economic problem involving health, education, citizenship, and family structure. The migrant worker has problems of malnutrition, physical handicap and mental health, and most significantly,

Austin noted that his company's program is ambitious and costly, but necessary.

He said that the CocaCola Company employs only about 1,000 migrants in 20 counties in only one state, while there are more than 250,000 migrants in 900 counties in 46 states.

"These men and their families have been too long neglected by the entire nation in which they live and work," he told the Senate group.

"Only a massive, concerted and persistent effort by federal, state and local governments can root out the sub-culture of poverty in which they barely survive ."

By Frank Hoffa Very interesting indeed is this year's film class, judging by its first film, "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari."

An ancient (19l9) German art film, "Dr. Caligari" was,_ according· to film class instructor Mr. Dick Peacock, fairly well accepted at the time, especially in Paris, the film capital. It was followed by others.

The plot revolves around a ~;~tr ange story told by a young man, which involved a series of murders committed by a ''somnambulist,'' or sleepwalker, ·under the control of the criminally fnsane Dr. Caligari.

The film ends with a complete reversal of roles, as the narrator was actually insane, while the man characterized as Dr. Caligari was the head of the insane asylum .

Among the more notable features of ''Dr. Caligari" were the excellent use of lines to give a sense of perspective to the small sets, and the unusual scenery which gave the sets the appearance of movement, although the camera was stationary.

"Potemkin" is the next film, to be shown October 7, at 7 p.m. in room P-32.

It will be shown a second time on the following day at 12: 30 p.m. in P-32.

In July of 1846, Thoreau was arrested in his hometown of Concord, Massachusetts. He spent a night in jail for refusal to pay a $2 tax as a protest against the Mexican War. The jail sequences provide a framework for other dramatic developments in the free flowing play.

Playwrights Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee gained an international reputation with "Auntie Marne . " They recently transferred this acclaimed comedy hit into the musical "Marne."

The pivotal role of the young Thoreau w_ill be played by Ronald Heller, making h1s Old Globe Theater debut. Patrick Hubbard also receives his first Old Globe role as Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Cynthia Lee Smith will play Emerson's wife, Lydian, with Richard King and Sean Sullivan alternating as their young son.

Students through college may purchase tickets to "The Night Thoreau Spent In Jail" at a 40 percent discount. The reserved seat price of $1. 50 with valid I.D. card, is available for all performances except Saturday nights .

What would you like to do this school year? Help somebody? Do something constructive? Do nothing? Sit under the flag pole and contemplate the ecology problem? Or just sit? The choice is entirely up to you, of course.

But if you would like to do something and you don't know what, perhaps I can interest you in Student Government.

Oh no, you don't have to bother going to boring meetings if you don't wish. There are other branches to this year's ASB. We need people who have specific plans and we need those who want to help or be useful but don't have anything specific in mind.

We are open to any new ideas to better campus, community, and people in general. It's a wide open field. We're willing to form any committee, organization, or governmental branch necessary to work on a problem like ecology (campus or country), police-student relations, community-college . relations, the draft, birth control, drug abuse, or youname-it.

We'll listen to any complaint against campus, community, country, or world.

And we'll do our best to do something.

But we need help. Your help. Everyone has a plan, an idea, a correction they would like to see materialize. What's yours? Get with the "Big Push" this year.

Coming up on the agenda--a new ASB constitution. Stay tuned for further information. Already accomplished this year-- Upon the recommendation by the ASB council, the Administrative Council has approved the setting-up of a peer counseling in areas of the Draft, birth control, and general student help.

Also on the agenda, we hope to approve a dance with the profits going to mentally retarded children.

Other items will be announced later, or if you're really interested, ASB meetings are at ll a.m. Mondays in the Student Activity Office (R-3).

EDITORIAL

\Lives of quiet desperation' Working on thesummer custodial crew at Palomar has, like anything else, its ups and downs. One of the more unpleasant surprises was the Life Science (LS) building. The department housed in that building appears to be lacking in the care of lab animals.

The care of lab pets over the summer can be summed up in one word--nonexistant. Custodians who had the misfortune to enter either LS-12 or LS-15 around the beginning of September were appalled by the conditions in these rooms.

LS-15 looked and smelled like a reptilian concentration camp.

LS-12, an office, contained a small dry aquarium which housed in solitary confinement, a lizard, which by September was but a dehydrated memory.

Although obviously dead from lack of care, it caused little concern, because, after all, one small lizard no matter

how it died, could serve to prove no However, in LS-15 death could point. be studied on a much grander scale.

One had only to open the door, and he was made uncomfortably aware that something was amiss in that room. The stench emanating from it, however unpleasant, was bearable, leaving the way open for further exploration.

Upon entry, in a corner immediately to the left, sat a wooden case with a glass front. Taped to the glass were several names and short descriptions of the reptiles supposedly residing within.

Examining the interior, one at first saw only one lizard--dead. It was a small brown lizard with tiny white spots and a yellow band around its wizened neck.

Its dry body was so shrunken, that its head seemed gigantic in comparison.

Of the four reptiles supposed to be housed

ILETTERS TO THE EDITOR I Dear Sir, Stephen Schneider's explanation of why he refused to report for induction into the Armed Forces (TELESCOPE September 22, 1970) is very revealing, undoubtedly honest, and probably represents the feelings of most young Americans facing the draft. However, I feel that he is on the wrong course; that he and others in his boat should come about and report in for induction.

Stephen is being guided by his personal feelings without regard for the essential hard facts in the case: "Now I am Stephen". he says. And he has a very negative, misguided interpretation of the functions of governments and soldiers with respect to war.

Listen Stephen, our government cannot lay down its arms all by itself and stop defending itself and forget its obligations to allies (even childish, imperfect ones) threatened by common enemies . And you ha€1 better believe that our common enemies are busy creating and supporting inhumane"wars of liberation" and terrorizing peoples into submission.

You don't see them laying

down their arms or firing their paid agents all over the world .

The Stephens of this nation may not be wise enough and experienced enough to realize the importance to humanity of supporting our government and its laws, with all their imperfections. But even the tiny Lemmings of the animal kingdom have a natural sense of responsibility to their kend: they give their lives that others might live.

I urge Stephen to report late for induction, simply because it is his lawful duty. I think he will perform his duties well and set a good example for others because of his intelligence and honesty, and will find a true sense of satisfaction from it. With his skill in expressing himself, he will probably wind up writing editorials for Army papers on the merits of good citizenship in a democracy. And he will enjoy the self respect and satisfaction of having served his nation.

Yours very truly, Wilfred 0. Boettiger Student,Palomar College ASB No. MC0021

in the case, only one more could be spotted. Thin and unmoving, it at least appeared to be living, as it lay almost hidden behind a rock to the rear.

To the front of the room, in the opposite corner, sat a very large, driedup aquarium, its desolation broken up only by the empty shell of a long dead crayfish.

Next to the aquarium sat a tall glass case, divided into ten separate compartments.

All but two appeared to be empty. In one lay two dead rattlesnakes.

One lay on its back, its concave belly forming an S-shaped trough as it wound through its prison.

Next to it lay the other, this one preferring its last glimpse of the world to be right side up. Extremely flat, its sagging skin gave it a deflated look, while hanging on its numerous ribs.

In the other compartment, one was startled by an active, though pencil thin garter snake. Its companion, a small gray lizard appeared le§ls fortunate, as its body lay draped across a piece of brush, no doubt placed there to make the cage seem more "homey."

One can't help but wonder at what "lives of quiet desperation" these creatures must have lived until claimed by either starvation or thirst, even though they were only snakes and lizards.

Starvation and thirst are both ugly ways for anything to die.

Perhaps the eeriness of a room filled with hundreds of jars of "pickled" lab specimens, plus various skulls and grotesquely posed stuffed birds made the whole situation seem worse than it was.

However, one can't help but wonder when more than one custodian can be found who refers to the Life Science Department as the "Death Science Department.''

In any event, such disregard for life, even the lives of a few lizards and snakes, is frightening in a department

Under conservationist's fire for a great many years for polluting the environment during the last year or, so Industry has responded with an estimated billion dollars worth of advertising designed to tell its side of the pollution story.

The full impact of this vast information program cannot be accurately assessed, of course, but each individual can make some subjective judgments by his performance in answering true or false to the following statements.

1. Industry cannot stop polluting without going out of business.

2. The public demanded throw away bottles.

3. We must cut more timber from our National Forests or the poor will go homeless.

4. Water pollution is not harmful to health because treatment plants remove all the harmful chemicals and other pollutants.

5. Conservationists opposing pollution from electric power plants will cause blackouts and brownouts this summer.

6. Radiation from nuclear power plants poses no danger to the environment.

7. Thermal pollution from electric

power plants will actually benefit marine life.

S. Industrial polluters didn't realize the~· \\'ere hurting the environment until just the last ~·e ar or so.

9. The federal government is spending more money than ever before to enforce air and \\'ater pollution control regulations .

10. There are no "badgu~· s",every­ one is e quall~· to blame for our country's current pollution problems.

11 . The increasing incidence of water-horne disease is direct!~· related to increasing!~· polluted public water supplies.

1~.

In order to pre,·ent pollution, the public \\'ill ha,·e to giYe up air conditioners and other ltLxuries.

13. Industr~· is \\;lling to clean up its pollution, but technology just hasn't de,·eloped most of the necessary techniques.

H. Pri\·ate citizens can make a significant contribution to cleaning up water pollution by putting bricks in their toilet tanks and not using colored tissues.

15 . :'l.t the present time there is no substitute for DDT but the U.S. Department of Agriculture is working hard on it.

16. Hundreds of Americans will be killed by ai·r pollution this year and the health of millions more will be damaged .

17. One out of four people taking this test is drinking wate r considered
