Noted e nvironmentalist Dr. Norman K. Sanders of UC Santa Barbara will speak tonight in the MiraCosta College gym at 8 p.m . His topic will be "Pollution: The Problem and How to Fight It." Sanders' address is one of a series of four ecology lectures set for this academic year in a joint project by Palomar and MiraCosta colleges. The scientist is presently te achning courses on oceanography, geomorphology, c limatology and e nvironmental pollution. His research interests center on the problem of monitoring oil pollution in Southern California waters and in the application of remote sensing techniques to the study of coastal processes. Sanders recently returned from Australia where he held a Fullbright fellowship at the University of Tasmania. The fellowship was granted for the purpose of studying geomorphology land and submarine features of the earth's surface - and near-shore ocean-
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.

Brown joins Palomar faculty as vocational education director Walter F . Brown, who holds degrees from California State Polytechnic and Long Beach State Colleges, is the new director of vocational education at Palomar College. He came to the faculty here from Allan Hancock Community College, Santa Maria, California, where he was a faculty member for five years. He directed the planning and coordination of the vocational curr iculum there, and more recently was a vocational- technical intern under the state plan for vocational education at Sadd leback College.

Among his community activities, Brown has served as a school board member, a member of a sanita tion board , and as a college representative to t he State Correctional Institutions at San Luis Obispo. He is a Mar ine Corps veteran of both World War II and the Korean war. Prior to entering the educational professio n, Brown had 18 year s of expe rience in t he automotive s hop fie ld.
Debate champions win in first competition After finishing last year as the 1970 National Champions, Palomar's debate team is off to a winning start as they defeated three 4- year colleges in debate action over the week- end. Forty-three colleges and universities took part in competition last Friday and Saturday at the UCLA Invitational Tournament. Palomar's teams won three outoffour places while defeating Biola, Occidental, and Pepperdine colleges. Certificates of Excellence were awarded to the teams of Wendy Wetzel and Rosela Del Castillo, Steve Kildoo and Larry Deboever, and Joe Cosenza and Chuck Jackson for winning their rou nds three wins to one lose. The team of Richard Harrig and James Smith split their round with two wi ns and two loses . Over all, Palomar won e leven a nd lost five. The loses we r e to USC , Fresno State and LA State. The next tournament wi ll be October 16, 17, and 18 at Cal State Fullerton.

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."

Pohle promotes p rograms The most common criticism of Student Government that I have heard since being elected is "What can Stud e nt Government do for me?" Many s tudents feel that the ASB is little other than an organization for a handful of people to use for gaining experience. And who wants to be attached to a "puppet" organization that wastes its time discussing senseless issues? It is true that ASB organizations often deterioate or are restricted to this degree. But in most, as in our ASS, the potential exists to organize, develop, or program many things of value. (A-ha, you are saying, now he's going to list hundreds of words of vague items, produce small bits of useless information, sign off, and crawl back to his office of incompetency.)
(2) Carl Ebert is organizing an ASB backed baseball game between students and police (Pigs vs. Freaks!) in an effort to establish better relations. You may sign up at the ASS office. (3) Steve Hughes, Judicial Chairman, is attempting to organize a movie series (popular movies, not educational-type films) for low cost to students. Tentative show-time is Sunday nights, when little else is available for entertainment. If you can run a projector, or would like to help choose films, come on in. (4) Gary Young, ASS representative, as well as several others, is running a poll to ind icate if a Day Care Center for children is feasible on campus. Many details have to be worked out. If you can help, sign up at the ASS office or Student Activities Office. If the above doesn't interest you, I have several other ideas .

days. A recent suggestion was to hold a free concert outside with local bands providing the sounds. Much planning is required in this area. Can you help? Work is also underway on several items that, while not directly affecting the individual student now, may soon do so. A new Constitution has been written and is being amended at which time it will go before the student body for approval. Points included in the Constitution are :
TOM POHLE (1) Anyone interested in ecology? We would like to form an ASB backed ecology group. We have no one appointed or volu nteered as of yet, due to other work pending. But the need is pressing. Come in and we'll start a list of names. (2) People are needed for the Student Curriculum Committee. This group of six students unites 'with the Curriculum Committee of the College and aids in deciding the courses, context and unit credit for Palomar. Generally they are elected but if only a handful of people are interested, perhaps they can be appointed . (3) Volunteers are needed to roll up the carpet in the Dome after dances. Anyone volu nteering will be adm itted to dances free. The work requires about 15- 20 minutes for four to eight people. Volunteers to distribute flyers, announcing dances, are al so needed. In addition, any programs or activities that students fee l are needed can be dis cussed with council members orbrought up at council meetings at ll a.m. on Mon-
EDITORIAL Down into the depths of routine
(I) Establishment of three bodies, an Executive Council, Student Assembly, and Judiciary . ( 2) An articl e allowing all campus students to vote for offices of the ASB. (3) A student Bill of Rights. (4) A hired secretary (the cost will probably not be paid by the ASB, but rather by a work- aid program .) (5) Provisions for e lecting representatives according to your major interest area. (eg. Athl etics, Social Sciences). (6) Class officers are to be removed from the ASB. (7) Provisions for hearing Student Grievances.
Reflecting briefly on the past month or so, there are two other areas in which the ASB has aided the student: (1) Discount books , free with ASB cards, provides up to 25 percent discount on clothes , tires, car parts and numerous other items or services.
(2) Working closely with the ASB , peer counseling is now available to students in areas such as the draft, birth control , and drug abuse. R- 5 has been established as the room for counseling. I might note, at this point, that our ASB sends representatives to Area and State level conferences . Some direct results of our accomplishments are listed in a report elsewhere in this paper. If you haven't already guessed, we are extremel y under- staffed . We cannot possibly undertake any more grograms to aid students with- out help. Name your interest and come in and help us . Inevitably, some of our programs will fa il, due to legal aspec ts, fina ncial, or unforseen problems. But the more activities we attempt, the greater our chances of success in a number of areas . If your can help; if you want to help, p lease come in the ASB office. The school year could prove enjoyable and rewarding to you.

Dear Editor,
Dear Editor,
I am . a new student at Palomar and also new to this part of Southern California. I haven't been here very long, but I am beginning to think that--- that is too long. I have never heard of Palomar College and I wondered why, now I think I know. There seems to be no involvement from students , administrators or from teachers. The attitude of many around here seems to be "We don't have time" or "We could care less."
I would like to make a suggestion for the improvement of your paper. That is that it be expanded to at least 4 or 6 pages . The reason is obvious. The many exciting and interesting activities of Palomar College students simply cannot be covered adequately on two skimpy pages .
Let me elaborate. On October 5th, I went to the parking lot and found I had a flat tire on my car. Now this may not sound like a big deal , but it is when you don't know anyone that can help you, you have to be at work in one hour, and you can't loosen the bolts to change the tire yourself. So, I atte mpted to fi nd someone to help me. I stopped one boy for help, but NO he had a class. I stopped another, but NO he was doi ng something else. I finally worked my way up to the Administration Office. I asked the lady there if someone could help me, the answer NO, then what about a janitor, the answer "They don't do that kind of thing.'' I did n 't realize that changing a tire was so disgraceful and below the integrity of such distinguished people. I the n proceeded to the Counciling (sic) Office, not knowing where else to go. The lady there really tried to help . She made a phone call, but the answer was still NO. Then we went to see one of the janitors. What a mistake. I believe his words were, "We don't have time for anything like that, tell her to get someone else, we can't be bothered." I only wanted five minutes of his time to loosen six bolts . The tire fi nall y got changed, thanks to the lady in the Counciling (sic) Office. I guess now I know why I never heard of Pnl omar College. The students, administrators and teachers don't want to be involved or bothered with anything. Not being ab le to find anyone to help doesn't bother me that much. Whatdoes bother me is t he attitude taken by some of the students and adm inist rators . If you can't go to the students, admi nistrators or teachers for help, then who CAN you go to? From my view there is no teac herstudent relationship, no administrationstudent relationship, and not very much student-student re lationship, at least I haven't found any. This may seem ridiculous to some, but it's not to me. I am concerned about the atti tude of thi s college . Can it be that Palomar College has an ''Attitude Gap . '' Patty Adams A.S. B. #0008

Dear Editor, Have you ever wondered why the food in the Snack Bar tastes so s t range ly? Would you consume food that has been contaminated with insecticide? If you have bought food from the Palomar Snack Bar chances are that you have. On several occasions I have walked in t he snack bar and seen one of the persons who works there spraying insecticide over the area where the food is kept. It seems to me that there is a health law or two which applies to this situation. I know that t here are good intentions behind the spraying of the insecticide, but in this case the end result counteracts the good intended. Maybe if a few students went and talked to the manager this situation could be changed .
Respectfully yours, Robert R. Rickman ASS Card #MG- 0001
We Palomar College students are a brand all our own. With the many problems confronting American society a nd all of mankind, one would expect to find confusion, disillusion and despair in the hearts and minds of any student s with conscience. And on many College campuses this is the case. But I am proud to say that this is not true of Palomar students . Are we nattering nabobs of negativism? Nah! Are we Horrendous Hypocond r iacs of History? Humbug! Palomar College students are t he arc hetypes, indeed the Avant-Garde of the New Involved Student Movement. We do not shrink from responsibility. WE WELCOME IT. We do not ignore problems, WE FACE THEM COURAGEOUSLY, CONSCIENTIOUSLY and CONSISTENTLY. But much mor e than that, WE OFFER SOLUTIONS. In t hese troub led times, that have left many students groping in the dark, alone a nd lost, Palomar stud e nts are a s hining, a guiding light that leads those lost souls out of their l abyrinth of lifel ess ness and i nto the world of the vibrent and the involved. With Integrity as the torch and Forthrightness as the flame, Palomar College s tudents stand ready to lead on to a brighter America and a better world . and I say LEAD ON OH NOBLE STUDENTS, LEAD ON! My heartfe lt thanks, Gary Young #M H- 0102
