Team observes campus area for accreditation
By Jan Gustina Because of the "lack of interest" and ''lack of funds," Palomar's traditional Homecoming celebration has been voted out by the ASB council.
Some areas which will be covered are student personnel services, reporting on the effectiveness of counseling, financial aids, and job placement, student government, covering the ASB budget, peer counseling, and new ASB council policies; and new classes which come under Multi-Cultural Studies.
''I don't know exactly why interest in homecoming faded. Probably for the same reason some other traditions have. These things move with the times," said Tom Pohle, ASB president.
Other reports will include areas of finances, vocational education, need for new programs such as medical and dental assisting and Multi-Cultural Studies , and administration reports on, for example, the President's "task force."
Article depicts life of Don Juan Forster "Don Juan Forster Southern California Ranchero," is the title of a September article written by Mr. John D. Tanner, history instructor. It was published in "Southern California Quarterly," an organ of the Historical Society of Southern California. The article is taken from the recollections of Don Juan Forster, brotherin-law to Pio Pico, California's last Spanish governor. It was from Pio Pico that Forster acquired his 133,000 acre Rancho Santa Marguerita y Las Flores, headquartered on what is now Camp Pendleton. Mr. Tanner is currently writing a full biography of Don Juan Forster.

The completed cast list has Mel Schuster playing Willy Loman; Kris Robertson, Linda; Perry Sites, Happy; David Fennessy, Biff; Don O'Rourke, Bernard; Claudia Keithley, the woman and Dr. Rollin Coleman, Charley.

The decision about Homecoming was given publicity in two issues of last week's San Diego Union. In quotes from Dr. Frederick R. Huber, college pres\dent, and Richard J. Kornhaus er, president of the Board of Governors, the San Diego Union made communication between the ASB council and the college administration seemingly almost nil. ''I felt that the way in which the San Diego Union presented the story gave a very poor picture of the relationship between the students and the faculty. It called for a confrontation between
the students and the administration," said Dr. Huber. Because certain factions represented on campus thought the decision to do away with the tradition of Homecoming was unfair and unjustified, the ASB council put the issue on their agenda again at yesterday's meeting. Interested people were asked to attend and present their arguments. Since no one attended the meeting from any of these interested groups, the council appointed a member to contact some of them and see if something could be worked out and if perhaps they could organize something themselves. The main reason there is a lack of funds is because so few ASB cards have been sold and the money from them is the principle source of ASB finances. This also shows lack of interest in the ASB and their sponsored activities . Apparently some type of Homecoming celebration other than the traditional one will take place. The Homecoming football game is still slated for October 311 at 8 p.m. against Citrus College.

Also appearing in the play are Paul Vautier, Uncle Ben; Steve Sanders, noward Wagner; Hazel Chamlee, Letta; John Herrera, Stanley; Cheryle Kunz, Jenny; and Cheri Jaques, Miss Forsythe. Mr. Buddy Ashbrook , drama instructor, is directing. Cast members are all interested in theater arts work but have different backgrounds and experience. A graduate of Palomar, Mel Schuster first became interested in the theater after attending Ashbrook's evening class in beginning acting in 1969. He appeared in the Patio Playhouse production of "King of Hearts" and played Candy in Palomar's "Of Mice and Men." Schuster commented, "I am particularly impressed with the vibrancy of North County theate r and I encourage interested residents of all ages to actively participate in this rewarding experience." Schuster is 39 yea rs old. Kris Robertson was a member of Emanons, a singing group which appeared on television and radio numerous times. She has also been active in band and chorus, and appeared in last summer's production of "Man of La Mancha" at Palomar. Miss Robertson is working toward a teaching credential in theater arts. Perry Sites, a hospital corpsman stationed at Camp Pendleton, was active in high school and college drama productions at Granada High School and San Jose State. He stated that, " . . . any serious drama is a challenge to me, The changing of age, from 15 to 32, and the fast costume changes are difficul t but with hard work I hope to be effective." Appearing in his fourth play at Palomar, is David Fennessy, who has been in twenty plays altogether since high school. He hopes to receive a teaching degree in college with theater arts as his major. Fennessy said, "I play Biff, a high school star athlete when he was you ng, and a bitter, frustrated person in his mature years. I was never a star athlete in high school. I tried football in ninth grade, but when the water boy got more action than me I realized that I was in the wrong field so I turned to theater and have enjoyed mvself ever since. So my biggest problem is playing a star athlete, but that's the best thing about acting. Even though I was never an athlete, I get to become one during rehearsals and performances of 'Death of a Salesman.' '' "Another problem is playing Biff as a man and then Biff as a 17-year-old. I want people to come out after the play saying they saw me as Biff the man and Biff the boy; not me as Biff the man and me as Biff the boy." Don O'Rourke has appeared in "Man of La Mancha," and "Felicita." He has found that ". . . my toughest job in this play is acting my age. It's easier for me to be a teenager."
Claudia Ke ithley is an English and humanities teacher at Escondido High School. She is currently enrolled parttime in the Masters Degree program in music at San Diego State. Miss Keithley was in all the productions of the North County Civic Light Opera, provided musical accompaniment for several revues at the Patio Playhouse and appeared in "Camelot" at Palomar. She stated, "This is my fir:st part of (Continued on page 2)
