Coupon sale to aid Strong The Friends of Strong Foundation is attempting to raise $5.000 to keep Dr. Strong's laboratory open in January.

Palomar's !IS13 is helping by selling a Shopper's Discount Book compiled by the Friends of Strong.

The discount book which sells for $5 could save the buyer over $1000 in premiums and discounts. The books are available in the !ISB office, H-3, or in the Student Activities office.

Mrs. Virgil L. Bergman, president of the North County based organization, said funds raised to keep the laboratory open during December will be exhausted

by January. Closing the lab would mean the loss of Dr. Strong's colony of inbred mice, created genetically over nearly 40 years of work.

Federal funds were cut off earlier this year and the scientist had planned to close his lab in October: but believing himself to be near his 50-year goal of producing a means of cancer control, he could not give up.

Persons who wish to donate to the Leonell C. Strong Foundation may do so by writing P. 0. Box 111, Escondido.

By Frank Hoffa What do Ouija boards, LSD, and fatigue have in common?

Each is a dangerous doorway to the unconscious, according to well-known author, lecturer, and psychic investigator Hugh Lynn Cayce, who will speak Thursday at 8 p.m. in the Student Union.

In a section of his book, "Venture Inward," Cayce describes what he calls "safe" and "unsafe" doorways to the unconscious, using cases from the files of the Association for Research and Enlightenment, of which he is managing director.

Included among safe doorways to the unconscious, Cayce lists observation, self-appraisal, dreams and meditation.

The dangers of certain doorways to the unconscious, according to Cayce, lie in their easy availability, which allows anyone to utilize them.

In his book, Cayce said, in reference to Ouija boards, "The difficulties with these automatisms lie in their simplicity of operation and in the confusion resulting from the releasing, from the unconscious material and energies, which disturb the consciousness.''

According to Cayce, fatigue, dianetics and scientology, and the unauthorized use of such "mind expanding drugs" as LSD, peyote, and "magic" mushrooms, can also release certain "materials and energies which disturb the consciousness."

Expanding upon these points, he likened the mind to a jungle, where one would expect to encounter various types of terrain and many dangerous reptiles and animals.

"It would be logical," he said, "to obtain any available maps, talk with people who had been in the area, and secure proper equipment and supplies.'' "l\1any people undertake explorations of their own or others' minds, with no thought of preparations, with no understanding of the 'forces' with which they must deal. The jungles of the Yucatan are well-marked city streets by comparison. The results of such thoughtless undertakings could be tragic."

Photo trip enrollment now open Applications are now being accepted for the second annual European Photography and Comparative Culture tour, sponsored by the Photography Instructors Association of Southern California in arrangement with the Foreign Study League.

Justus Ahrend, photography instructor at Palomar, has been appointed a counselor-instructor for the six-week tour next summer, his second consecutive year to accompany a class on the European photography tour.

Last summer, Ahrend and his wife were counselors for a group of 18 students on a tour of over 10 countries.

The 1971 trip, which will begin in late June and return in the first week of August, is limited to 15 students, and Ahrend advised early enrollment.

ENVIRONMENTAL BANDWAGON DANGERS

Christmas sale features cemmics

Phosphate substitute could cause cancer As the battle between detergent manufacturers and environmentalists rages on, some soap makers are jumping on the environmental bandwagon with new products they claim are ''biodegradable'' and "nonpolluting." In some cases, certain chemists and Congressmen wish the companies had looked before they leaped because they may be marketing something that is potentially more harmful than phosphates ever dreamed of being.

Phosphates, as everybody is rapidly learning, are considered undesirable because they encourage the growth of algae in rivers and lakes which hastens the aging processes of water bodies.

The algae flourishes, dies and decays which reduces the water's oxygen content.

Environmentalists are urging housewives to return to soap and washing soda or to purchase one of the very low-phosphate soaps. Their campaign must be working for several new, nonphosphate soaps are appearing on the market, some of them containing chemicals and compounds that might prove to be harmful indeed.

In fact, "there is theoretical evidence," said Rep. Charles A. Vanik of Ohio, "that one of the major replacements for phosphates--soon to come on the market in massive quantities could cause cancer."

Vanik is concerned because several major detergent companies including Lever Brothers and Proctor and Gamble are looking at nitrilotriacetric acidknown as NTA--as a phosphate replacement. Vanik cited a report by Harvard pathology professor Dr. Samuel S. Epstein which said NTA is not perfectly biodegradable. NT A also picks up metal ions in water raising the possibility of damage to metal pipes. It also raises the possibility that NTA could pick up metals such as mercury in streams and rivers and bring them back into the water supply.

Most frightening, Epstein notes it is possible NTA will break down into compounds called introsamines which are "highly'' cancer-causing.

Vanik is concerned not only because of Epstein's sobering statements about NT A which is already being widely sold

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, Congratulations students of Palomar!

Once again you have shown your ability to help leviate (sic) our world problems.

I am speaking in reference to the ecology meeting of November 19 held in F-22.

Out of a campus of several thousand people the staggering amount of seven students showed up.

It is really depressing to see that a very large majority of "today's generation" is just as hypocritical and fake as the generations in the past who have supposedly just about succeeded in destroying our earth.

How can everyone sit back and complain about the pathetic situation our world is in and then not do a single damned thing to help control the problem?

It's really ironical how everyone takes so heavily onto correcting the problems of discrimination, e nding the draft, lowering taxes, reclaiming Indian land, when the odds of us having a place to livE> 30 years from now IS almost nill (sic).

Not that the problems previously stated are not worth correcting for they certainly are, but for them to be useful I feel that it would help if people will be alive 30 years from now to enjoy these changes.

I, and probably many other people, am at the point where I am beginning to not really care about what is going to happen to us. It seems that trying to convince people of our dire situation is like talking to a wall. We are just about at the point where it will be too late if it isn't too late already, to correct the situation.

Words, no matter how earnest and truthful will not change anything, only actions will. If you want your children to starve and rot before your eyes (due to radiation pollution) then just keep going in the direction that you are headed. I fee l that anyone who will not try to help our dying race and our dying world deserves nothing more than to die themselves.

I sincerely hope that you wake up and realize that you are digging your own grave. I suppose that this letter will be mostly laughed at and I will be called a fanatic; if so, then brother, it's too late already.

A variety of more than 1, 000 art and ceramic objects, made by Palomar College students, will be offered in a Christmas sale at the college Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Members of the college Art Guild are staging the sale. Steve Wilkens, an art major, is sale chairman. Val G. Sanders, of the art faculty, is assisting the students in preparing for the sale.

Sanders said the ceramic stock, all of which used non-poisonous glazes, will be displayed on the three sales days at the music quadrangle.

Demonstrations will be made each day of wheel throwing, glass blowing, and the raku firing and glazing process in pottery-making.

Student-made articles to be offered include dishes, bowls, planters, wind chimes, bottles, candle holders, jugs, and ornamental glass-blown objects.

in the product Ecolo-G, but because no one is studying NTA to see if it is in fact cancer-causing.

Vanik says the Federal Water Quality Administration and the Bureau of Water Hygiene are c hecking out NTA's affinity for metal ions, but that they say they lack research funds to carry out the lengthy, complicated cancer tests.

"A lack of research funds in this area is so shortsighted as to be beyond belief;" Vanik said . "We may be literally poisoning ourselves and future generations to save a few dollars today."

Vanik says he is asking the Office of Management and Budget foradditional money for water research because of what he terms "this shocking emergency situation ." Unfortunately, OMB's track record in dealing with environmental "emergencies" isn't very good.

THE TELESCOPE

But Vanik is going to do more than appeal for more research funds. "I believe that it verges on criminal neglect for private companies to bring new chemicals and products into the marketplace without the most thorough testing, not only by the companies involved but by the Government. I am drafting legislation to require that no new chemical product or compound be brought into interstate markets without the prior approval of the Public Health Service and the Environmental Protection Agency that the product is not harmful to the environment or the health of the American people.''

Many people think that is already the case, but as we are discovering with cyclamates, DDT, mercury and now Earlier this year, NTA, it is not. then Presidential Science Advisor Lee A. DuBridge told a Senate Subcommittee investigating pesticides that he didn't think industry should be required to prove the safety of its products. The subcommittee wasn't too enthusiastic about the argument and Vanik won't be either.

In the last weeks of a dying Congress it's too much to hope that Vanik's very much needed legislation will get anywhere.

But by speaking out he may be able to focus the spotlight of public scrutiny on the increasing desperate need for a new corporate and governmental attitude toward insuring the safety of consumer products before they enter the marketplace.

A :MODERN DAY FABLE

Veggapeople vs. Meat eatern

By Bill Grote Once upon a time in the land of society, lived a very distinct group of people.

The Veggapeople, a rare group who cringed at the sight of hamburgers, and the mention of beef-jerky would give them bad dreams for weeks.

But the Veggapeople always had a dream deep inside that someday there would be a meatless day in the world.

No more worthless animal slaughtering for human consumption, and the world will be happy again for passion will be stopped where it started (in the hearts

of animals), and there will be no more war, people will love each other, and the big artichoke in the sky will smile down on every human who will be proud then to bear the name of Veggehuman.

In the meantime, people were still eating that smelly-ol', horrible, passion soaked, D.D.T.ed, blood stained MEAT. Just about all the Veggapeople could do would be to not associate with meat eaters.

Well, it got to where cafeterias were divided in half amongst the Veggapeople and the Meat eaters. About this time the action started getting tricky. Salads were laced with pork on some unsuspecting Veggaperson and upon his friends seeing it, they would banish him forever from the Veggapeople.

Meat eaters would sometimes find their steak actually Vegga-steak and have their friends suspect them as "an undercover Veggaperson,'' and they too would suffer the loss of friends.

The battle waged on for several years and social pressures got to be so great that people were forced to eat alone in private rooms where no one could pass judgment on their food.
