Recent efforts by the Associated Students to establish a child care center at Palomar have not been forgotten. But it has proved much more complicated than expected. After researching requirements for the necessary licens ing of the center, it was decided that the ASB would not be able to qualify. There are too many restrictions and demands to make an ASB-sponsored program feasible. However, there are other ways of obtaining a child's day care center. Dean Theodore Kilman, dean of Continuing Education and Community Service, initiated working on plans for a federally funded child's learning center;

we are ind eed on the ve rge of the discovery of the soul!' ' Spoken by Hugh Lynn Cayce , these words sum mari ze the basic theme of his lec ture , presented last Thursday night in the Student Union. Entitled "The Psychic Na ture of :'11an , '' Cayce's lecture covered a va ri ety of sub jects from drugs a nd Ouija boards , to Russian experimentation with psychic phenomena. Openi ng his guided tour of the psychic, Cayce told of a commu nication he r e ceived from his late mother, by way of a very distraught woman. The woman involved had begun by playing with a Ouija board, going on to au tom atic writing (writing without any concious effort on one's own part). As her psychic se nsitivi ty deepened, she began heari ng a voice behind her left ea r . She went to a psyc hiatrist, a nd was institutionalized. She continu ed to hear the voices but didn't tell the doctors, and was later released. The voices meanwhile got worse, becoming scrambled and distorted. In desperation, she called Cayce , and as she talked to him, s he heard a woman giving her a message for him, also instructing her to give Cayce two red roses. Previously, Cayce ' s mother had told him that whe n s he communicated with him, she wou ld leave him two red roses . Presenting documented lab cases , Cayce told of a man, who can project
pictures from hi s mind onto film in a nea rby camera. Another example was of a hospital where a n experim ent was conducted. A group of people were told to concentrate on a film of a fight, while a second group of people s lept. According to Cayce , a large percentage of the s leepi ng group c laimed to have dre amed about a fight. Yet another of Cayce's examples of lab experime nts concerned a woman in Russia, who can move small objects using only the power of her mind. This power is called psychokinesis, and that experiment led Cayce into an examination of Russia's involvement with the psyc hic . Apparently believing that Russia has taken the lead in pyschic investigation, Cayce said, "I watched a nine-year- old girl, whose eyes I had covered with my hands . She r an her fingers over a picture, feeling sand, water, and readi ng captions. "They are te ac hing blind people to do this in Russia, and yet we deny it." Commenting on drugs, Cayce exclaimed, "Your chi ldren are swallowing drugs, blasting the locks off of their mind. " It's a very dangerous way, in m y opinion--like burning the lock off of a door. That door swings both ways." Cayce concluded by telling safer methods to develop psyc hic powers, first cautioning listeners not to venture alone. He said, " Study your dreams. There must be discipline of the mind on a day to day basis, and also discipline of the diet."

Is ecology dying, or will it survive?
Some of the positive aspects of the pollution problem are the recycling centers set up throughout the county. Aluminum cans, plastic bottles, newspapers, and glass can now all be recycled. But the problem of carelessness is still obvious due to the trash and waste seen along our roads and here on our own campus. The photographersfor these pictures were Ken Wheeland and Randee Tracko.
QUESTION: Will the ecology movement live through another year? ANSWER: Maybe .. . maybe not. Evidence is accumulating that the ecology movement, like the now defunct antiwar movement consists of many talkers and one or two doers. Examples of this can be seen here at Palomar. An ecology meeting held as far back as November 19, attracted an incredible crowd of seven-count 'em-seven enthusiastic students. A sign-up sheet, calling for volunteers to do something to save the world has netted three--count 'em again--three names. The sheet, tacked to a bulletin board in ES-18, has been awaiting the touch of a pen or pencil for at least two months. What is the problem? PUBLICITY! Ecology is so much in the news that people are getting weary. The ecology movement, the world, and everyone in it are being orated to death. Instead of doing something, people talk, worry and write meaningl ess editorials (Yes, like this one!). WHY? Human nature. People just don't have the ability to switch their priorities around--even if the world is at stake. If one thinks that people can change rapidly, he need only take a look at the race problem. But, even given that the populace is not buzzing with activity, the ecology movement still could prosper, except for the fact that the actual murderers of ecology are the ecologists themselves. They are doing this by turning people off with the hard - sell approach . First, they try to scare up support by proclaiming world - wide doom, which al-
though it might be true, no one believes. Progressing through a lack of understanding to downright bitterness, the ecologists end up attacking mankind for being human! The errors can be seen in a letter appearing in the December 8 issue of THE TELESCOPE. The writer tried to frighten his readers by saying, ''If you want your children to starve and rot before your eyes (due to radiation pollution) then just keep going in the directio n that you are headed." Failing to understand why fear had failed to work in the past, he asked, "How can everyone just 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?" Then, following the pattern, becoming disillusioned, he got ugly. Realizing that even college student s are human, he said, "It is really depressing to see that a very l arge majority of 'today's generation' is just as hypocritical and fake as the generations in the past ... " Having thus taken the load from his shoulders, he became maudl in and sank reproachfully into the womb-like depths of martyrdom saying, "I suppose this letter will be mostly laughed at (it was) and I will be called a fanatic; (it fee l s good to be a martyr!) if so, then brother , it's too late already." (Maybe!) No doubt fee ling that thi s wou ld arouse and inspire the readers, the writer of that letter accomplished exactly the opposite. Is this any way to run a movement? T hink about it.

Pollution: eliminate it or live with the results Pollution. . . an overwhelming problem. And , at this point, most solutions seem hopeless and impos sib le . Ever s ince the issue of pollution was brought out through wide-spread publi c ity, we have been Informed as to its list of evil s. For instance, how our increasingpopu lation wi 11 demand more automobiles wh ich in turn will cause more smog, poi soned air, and various respiratory diseases. Or how our food is being polluted with DDT and other pesticides. Or how industry dumps their wastes in our rivers killing valuable plants and animals as well as ruini ng water supplies. Government action to attack the polluti on problem has been passed, but it doesn't seem to be working on a very effective scale. Sure, all cars in California now mus t have anti- s mogd evices, but the smog is still one of our biggest problems. And industry is forbidden to dump certain che mi cals in r ivers and Pollution in North County takes many forms. T he fa rmer who dusts his crops with harmful pesticides, the heaps of garbage we see alongs ide so many highways. the junk yards whi c h destroy the scenery, the scum a nd s lime whic h covers many streams and lakes--these are all examples of pollution that can be found in our own area. The pictures on this page were all taken in parts of North County whi c h are probably famil iar to al l of us. The photographers were Ken Whee land and Carl Zitzmann.
lakes , but the n we still must account for the number of lakes and streams where garbage and waste flo ats so thick that they are unfit for fishing, swimming, or anything e lse. Everyone is aware of the pollution problem. The hard part is convincing them that it is real. Like anything else , unless we are directly affec ted by something, we don't conce rn ourselves with it to a ny great extent. It seems that we can rightfully assume that the majority of people are blind whe n it comes to recognizing small things they could be doing every day to contribute their part in stopping pollution. Right now there are a number of things people can be doing here in North County, or, more s pecificall y, he r e at Palomar. Recycling centers for glass and plastic, and Alcoa Alumi num' s ''Yes We Can" program for recycling aluminum cans are located in the surrounding cities . Ecology Action Committees have been eslablished in both Escondido and Vista. Al their meetings they discuss
what we can do in our own communities to help fight pollution as well as what can be done nationally (writing le tters to Congressmen, Senators, etc.) to he lp. Here at Palomar we have an Ecology Club, Organic Gardening Group, and an Environmental Biology class . Pollution is anything from the one beer can thrown along the side of the road to the most r ecent "Smog Alert" in Los Angeles . Anything from recyc ling your plastic milk bottles to buying a low phos phate detergent is a step in the right direction to he lp prevent unnecessary pollution. The most important thing is that we recognize that the problem definitely DOES EXIST. Because we are the direct cause of pollution, it is our conce rn. The solutions to the problem are being found, but our cooperation is imperative for their success . The pollution issue will be very much a part of the 1970's. It is up to all of us to s tart becoming aware of it and to contribute our part in the moveme nt to e liminate it.
IMEET THE coMET cAGERsl Steve McRae is the only member of this year's squad who is not an area ball player. Steve prepped at Irvin High School in El Paso Texas where he received all-district honors his senior year. He averaged over 16 points a game in high school, along with being among the league's top rebounders. He spent four years in the Navy and then, because of eligibility rules, sat out last season at Palomar. Steve is among the leaders in both scoring and rebounding on this year's basketball team.
Jon Cnossen, at the other forward, is the second leading rebounder on this year's ball club. Jon prepped at Escondido High where he was a three-sport letterman in football , track, and basketball. Steve McRae
Cagers rip Phoenix 88-72 in the Dome Outscoring Phoenix 50-37 in the second half, the Comet cagers won going away, 88-72, last Saturday night at the Dome. The win broke the 14 game losing streak that Phoenix has been building on since 1962. Playing their best defense of the season, Coach Gilmour's team dominated the ball game, both on the floor and the backhoards. The Comets, now 4-5 on the season, had five men in double figures. Again Gene Chaffin led the locals in scoring with 18 points. Mark Embrey 14, Marty Bojorquez 14,
He received second team All-Avo honors his senior year. In track he was one of San Diego's premier half milers, running under two minutes a number of times. Jon was also a member of the Escondido football team that won their league and advanced well into the CIF Playoffs.
Jon Cnossen 13, and Steve McRae 10, rounded out the Comets in double figures. Phoenix placed two men in double figures. Delano Price tallied 24 points to take game scoring honors and was followed by Terry Smith with 20 digits. Palomar hit on 32 of 73 shots from the field for 44 per cent and connected on 24 of 34 from the free throw line. Cnossen led the Comets in rebounds, picking off 10, while McRae added nine. Freshman guard Greg Price passed for 10 assists to lead the cagers in that category. The Comets will play either Pasadena or Cypress tonight, depending on the outcome of their opener last night with Mt. San Antonio in the 30th Annual Chaffey Invitational Tournament.
In their most recent game Mt. SAC lost to the tournament hosts, Chaffey, by two points 88-86. "Our game with Phoenix was ourbest game, overall, this season," said Coach Gilmour. "We got good board play up front. Our guards looked like they are coming along, and we got good help from the bench." The Comets' :J.ext home tilt won't be until January 9 in a conference game with Grossmont College. Over the Christmas break the cagers will be participating in the Riverside Invitational Tournament, opening on the 26th of December at Riverside. They will open conference play January 6 at Citrus JC.
Jon also spent his freshman year away attending Iowa State College.
Mark Embrey one of the two returning leterman from last year, has been the Comets' field general this year and leads the locals in assiRts. Mark prepped at Escondido High where he participated in track, basketball, and football.

Grapplers are on the move Palomar's wrestling team has competed in two tournaments, so far this season, and has done :pretty well in each. At the Southwestern Tournament, held December 4-5 at Chula Vista, Palomar had its first test of the season. Mike Stubblefield and Mickey Ferrick showed fine form in their light weight division, while Mark Karges, John Brady, and Steve Felhabor had a good showing for the heavier divisions. Last Thursday, in a home match, it was Mike Stubblefield and Mickey Ferrick again who did the job against their opponents. The entire team which numbers only twelve members had to compete against Long Beach City College and Antelope Valley College. Although these were much larger schools, the Palomar team made a fine showing, winning fifteen matches while losing only eleven. (each man wrestled twice). The Comet grapplers are looking in fine form for this early in the season. They are working hard every day under the supervision of Coaches Tony Lynds, and John Woods. Coach Woods is a science instructor at Orange Glen High
