Three major accomplishments were cited in the latest newsletter from the California Community College Student Government Association (CCCSGA). They were the setting up of monthly meetings between students and the Governor, introduction of student proposals as legislative bills or policy changes, and seating of students on major policymaking agencies such as the Board of Governors, Board of Directors, and state committees on educational opportunity. CCCSGA is a state-wide organization whose interest is Student Government in California's public Junior Colleges. The colleges are divided into areas and each is represented by members of the Associated Student government. In reference to initiation of monthly meetings with the Governor, the report said, "The CCCSGA has arranged for monthly meetings with Governor Reagan to discuss student problems and proposals and to ask for needed changes. The meetings have helped provide a clearer understanding of the positions and problems of both the students and the Governor. " The most notable accomplishment of the meetings with Governor Reagan was his agreement to sign Senate Bill 524 which concerned circulating petitions for lowering the voting age . Aresolution to insure a transfer policy for junior college students has been passed, according to ASB council members who attended the last meeting for colleges in this area. Junior college t ransfer students will now have a priorith of 3 when registering at a state college, which is the same as a junior or third- year student would have . Other policy resolutions which are still waiting legislative action are establishing a mandatory course in ethnic studies fo r junior colleges in California; addition of students as voting members to the Board of Directors ofthe California J unior College Association; eliminating mandatory physical education in junior c olleges; imposing a mandatory student body fee for a ll students; increas ing veterans benefits by more than 30 percent and providing new benefits for educationa lly disadvantaged vete r ans; and providing fo r additional junior college fu nding.

CURRAN BRAINSTORM
Health fair planned by students "Student Involvement" is the key note of Palomar's January Health Fair. Mr. Michael Curran, who first presented this pro ject to his classes, stated, "Teachers are searching for methods to make classes more relevant, meet
student needs and get students involved.'' It is his hope that a Health Fair will
provide such a method. "In the past, I would ask the students to read magazine articles related to health. However, only a certain
THE RITUAL has been acquired by the Janus Concert Society for exclusive presentation by its member institutions. T he La Jolla Museum of Art is the Concert Society member in the San Diego area. A nation- wide organization of universities, museums and art centers, t he Janus Concert Society was started to allow these institutions, which had previous ly been priced out of the s howing of quality, first- run motion pictures, to regularly provide their members with first- run fil ms by emerging and established directors . Few directors alive today can match the films of Ingmar Bergman in either quality or quantity. In twenty-five years, Bergman has made twenty-nine films. Six of these motion pictures, such as T HE SEVENTH SEAL, are considered film masterpieces . Bergman has been honored with more international awards than any other filmmaker, including two Academy Awards for "Best Foreign Language Film." Tickets, priced at $2. 00 public donation and $1. 50 for museum members and students, are now on sale at the museum. They will also be available at the Sherwood Hall box office on the evenings of the presentation.

amount of students can be motivated by this approach. " Through a Health Fair, "A student can internali ze better. You can't teach on a theoretical plane, there is a need for centralized communications. By putting all this information in one place at one time the student is forced to go and see how community health organizations work.'' Curran stated further that he originally got the idea of relating student involvement to his classes from a San Francisco State political science c lass. "In order to see what goes on behind the scenes these students are wo r king for candidates in actual e lections . '' The Health Fair will also be a great benefit to the people who view it. "By definition, a community college should help the needs of the community," said Curran. At present over 100 agencies are being contacted in order to find out what they would be interested in presenting at the Fair. These include health age ncies from the American Red Cross and The Cancer Society, to the Golden Door Health Spa and Health Food Stores . Each health class is divided into committees and each individual has an organization to contact. "The students are doing all the wor k. They are now deciding what will be most relevant to the Fair," said Curran. Curran feels that a final benefit of this project will be the interaction between the organizations represented . "The Fair will provide a place where the agencies will be somewhat linked together. In this way they may recognize where their services overlap and a big problem of bureaucracy will be solved."
ography on the Tasmanian Coast. Speaking before a Sacram ento audience earlier this year, Sanders blamed pollution of the environment on a burgeoni ng population. He offered as solutions two courses: birth control and limiting migration into California. "Without the latter," he said, "California will become so repulsive that people won't want to leave wherever they are . Then we won't need controls."
