Student sponsored Health Fair 57 candidates VIe for 25 offices scheduled tomorrow in Dome as spring semester elections near Michael Curran, instructor, and the students in all health education classes are sponsoring a health fair tomorrow from l-6 p.m. in the Dome and adjacent areas. It is free to the public . Some 65 national, state and county health organizations will offer healthoriented disp lays, lectures and physical check-up devices to the fair. Ar ea elementary and high schools will alsoparticipate by exhibitinghealthprojectswhich will be judged for awards on a grade level basis. Besides the displays, cakes and health foods will be on sale , with the proceeds going to selected health organizations. Curran originated the idea ·of the health fair at the beginning of this sern-
ester as a project for the health classes. Earlier health students simply did research on various areas of health, rather than corning in direct contact with the func tions of the individual organizations. "This year we are trying to do something meaningful,'' stated Curran. ''The purpose of the fair is not only to open up the eyes of the students to the health organizations that are available, but also the community's," commented a "The fair has really c lass member. mushroomed,'' added Curran. ''We're holding our breath to see what kind of response we will get from the community . So far a great deal of interest has been shown by individuals and clubs in the area.''
'Ideas' class visits study 'Center' Mr. Palmer Kr emer, instructor, and eight students from his Problems in Political Ideas class took a recent field trip to the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutes for a discussion with authors of a proposed new U.S. Consti tution. "Our visit to the Center provided students with a unique and outstanding experience. Our discussion of the model constitution with Dr. Frank K. Ke lly, vice-president of the Center, was in itself enough to make our day," said Kremer. The Center, located on Eucalyptus Hill in Santa Barbara, is the outgrowth of a 1930 idea from Mr. Robert M. Hutchins . His idea was to have a place where continuous discussions of what was happening to and about democratic institutions could take place. In September of 1959 the Center officially opened . Hutchins describes the Center's philosophies by stating, "When the Center felt that novel or heretical views deserved consideration it has not hesitated to provide a forum for them. For this reason the Center has had some utility as an early-warning system, bringing to the surface those issues which had not yet come to public notice but which seemed likely to become the qurning issues of the future. The Center has not tried to tell people what to think; is has on occasion ventured to suggest what they ought to be thinking about.'' Kremer's class made an in-depth study of the proposed constitution after a report on the constitution was given as an individual project. The students discussed the constitution with Kelly, one of the authors. He stated that the main idea behind the r e-writing was "to see how basic changes could be made." He also saw it as as "alternative to revolution." The thirty-seventh version of the constitution was published in September 1970. Mr. Rexford G. Tugwell, one of the major authors, is now working on the thirtyeighth version. This constitution has been worked on for six years. Several major changes include the fifty states being replaced by not more
than twenty republics, each containing not less than five percent of the nation's population and collective ly called the United Repub lics of America. The President would be elected for one nine-year term and would concentrate on foreign affairs and domestic policy. There would be two vice-presidents, one designated to supervise general affairs, the other to supervise internal affairs . Members of the senate would serve for life. There would be no Bill of Rights, but the fundamental safeguards would be included in various parts of the constitution. However, there would be no right to trial by jury, and there is no right to bear arms. Class members found the terminology confusing and the new senate too powerful, although many felt that parts of the constitution had great merit.
Solo auditions set Auditions for solo parts in the production of Mendelssohn's "Elijah," to by jointly staged by Palomar College and MiraCosta College music departments, have been scheduled for January 18. Joe Stanford, of the Palom ar music faculty, said si ngers who wish to audition for parts should have their own accompanyist. The auditions will be held in room C-5 at Palomar, beginning at 7:30p.m. Stanford- said membership is still open for the chorus, and that singers interested in joining the cast should contact Jeffrey Sell at MiraCosta, while those interested in solo auditions are to contact Stanfo rd at Palomar.
BULLETIN Anyone holding an ASB card or student ID card can vote. If a student has neither, he can pick up an ID card in the business office. Polls will be open from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Today there will be an open mike from II a. rn. on for an y candidate to speak.
Students will go to the polls Monday and Tuesday to elect new student government officials. Fifty-seven students are in the race to fill 25 positions. Five candidates are in the race for ASB president. They are Larry DeBoever, Alan Decotes, Ki rk McClure, Steve Hughes, and Steve Esquibel. Speaking on their ideas and policies for the office they are seeking, the five candidates explained their positions. LARRY DeBOEVER- "Testing that I might run for President, I was approached by a member of the 'elite ASB group' and told 'if you run for President you will split the vote for Steve Hughes and just help MECHA; and you don't know what's going on; and besides, you should run for representative-they have more powe r- the president doesn't have any. < 'How can I help the Student Body of Palomar College? I realize that there are thousands of s uggested ideas, there is an immense amount of creativity walking around on this campus. All of these ideas, or almost all, are dependent on money for their operation. This year the budgets of all activities sponsored by the ASB have been hurt, and these ideas have gotten nowhere. ''Because of this dependence on money for the success of the ASB sponsored program s, my recommendations are organized along these money lines. "The profits from thebookstorewould be increased by $10,000 if we took the two full-time personnel paid from the profits and transferred to other departments. Their wages are paid out of profits as well as the part-time workers. Run the bookstore entirely by part-time work through the Federally- subsidized work-study program. This would create student jobs." ALAN DECOTES- "Let me first say this, I've been going to this great sc hool, and believe me, it is a great school, for some time. As to the occurrences of change, I 've observed a multitude. "There are those who say this is nothing but a high school with ashtrays. Let me c larify this, I feel they are nothing but high schoolers that can smoke . "I feel that since the inception of our campaign, Steve Anear and myself have outclassed the opposition from the word go. The voters will have a choice between dynamic progressive representation or juvenile, regressive apathy, which has all too often been the rule. It is time for Palomar students, not boys and girls, to stop following the stick-in-the-mud high school politicers and the 'new revolutionary' who has lost contact with reality, and is merely reciting phrases plagarized from bathroom walls, to rid themselves of this plebe fruit- fly mentality. "We will present an avante-garde and visual concept of representation, with directives toward concerts and dances for Palomar students and guests as well as community functions. Profits will be plowed back into the student as sociation. We will plant apple, or-
ange, and avocado trees on campus, as an ecological example of a free lunch program. We fee l there is a need and plan to provide bicycle racks for students who do care about their environment and encourage others to follow their examples. We also plan to raffle off new tenspeeds. "We feel that the Palomar student should become more involved with the community. One possible approach is allocating funds to help the disadvantaged get on the road to helping themselves, by giving aid to established organizations s uch as the Pala mission. "We hope to involve all the students in the functions of government, not just a select few. We will do this by presenting it in a new way, and in a way they can identify. We want to provid e the motivation that will put the students in action and we know we can do it. Peace." KIRK McCLURE- "My reasons for running are not based on intangible 'campaign promises' of general student changes. Rather, I want to promote better communication between all departments, all students, and all interests. "I hope I will be thought of as a 'thinking' P resident, one willing to consider all aspects of every problem with a fair and open mind. I hope to make the best decisions for the benefit of as many students, faculty, and community m embers as possible." STEVE HUGHES- "Last semester we campaigned as Students for Change. We are campaigning this semester as Students for Continued Change, change with a program dedicated toward the general welfare of all students. "Last semester we promised action, and we indeed acted on these matters: We gained approval for the peer group counseling. Community involvement was helped by setting up radio programs with KOWN and KUDE and the Pleasure Faire was an effort to interest the public in our sc hool. "The Students for Change made it possible for students to have some say in the operation of the Bookstore for in the future students will be chosen to serve on the Bookstore Advisory Board to recommend policy concerning the store's operation. "We campaigned against the Dex Allen Contract forced upon the Student Body by a past ASB preside nt. We have challenged the legality of the contract and it is not binding, so in the future we may fi nd artists more to the liking of the student body. "There have been several attempts to revise the Constitution. We wrote a new Constitution that e liminated the ASB card poll-tax and opened Student Government to all who wish to participate , not to a privileged few who can pay $15. We furthermore a lmost doubled the number of positions to 25, enabling more students to participate. ''Under my leaders hip in the next semester the student government will continue to act for the best interests of the Student Body in continuing these programs and others such as : continuing the fight for a Child Care Center, as soon
as possible ; to increase the students' and communities• awareness of the problemsuch as increasing the number of bike racks and Ecology Now drives; more 'In' bands for dances and perhaps a major battle of the bands for this area; a medical facility so a person doesn't need to drive to Palomar or Tri-City Hospitalin an emergency; guest speakers on ecology and social problems of the day. "As in last semesters' council, my office and the meetings would always be open to the needs and suggestions of you.'' STEVE ESQIDBEL- ''There ar e many social problems in the surrounding communities in which we live, from the draft to e ntertainment for its youth. "I feel that if the communities are not going to respond to these problems then it is up to Palomar as a community college to institute these programs that will rid our communities of these problems. "I feel that as a student body we s hould recognize we are extensions of our communities. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that we begin to grapple with some of the problems afflicting the total community, for only then will we be able to effectively deal with true issues which confront students, such as, police harrassrnent, the draft and ecology. "We are mature students who are attending college to better our education and to e mancipate our minds from the shackles of ignorance and as such the ASB should reflect this by speaking out not only on campus issues but also on local community and national issues. ''I also fee l that we should be able to provide meaningful and adequate entertainment for the students of Palomar and by that I don't mean the 'bubble gurnrner' dances that are being put on by our present ASB . " Vice-presidential candidates are Steve Anear, Carl Ebert, and Jay Larkin. Vying for Men's Select are Torn Pohle, Wayne Hugins and Bob Huntsman. Women's Select cand idate is Jeanne Shelby and candidate for Treasurer is T . J. F r eeman.

Comet cagers travel to Southwestern gym With one win and two lossesinMission Conference play, the Comets will travel to Southwestern tomorrow night for an 8 p.m. contest. In their game tomorrow with Southwestern the Comets will need to contain the Apaches' 6'8" center Rodney Duck and the shooting of guard Rom Schueter. Shooting less than 30 percent in their last game, the Comets dropped an important home tilt to the Riverside Tigers by a score of 72-64. Leading the locals in scoring were Jon Cnossen with 15 and Gene Chaffin with 11.

For the Tigers Lonnie Cooper tallied 25 points, ·while reserve guard Sam Pope picked up 15, all in the second half. During the course of the ball game Coach Andy Gilmour employed a half court press which gave Riverside some trouble. But when the Comets tried to extend it late in the game, the Tigers just riddled it for easy lay-in buckets. Palomar's only conference win came last Saturday when they put together a 65-57 win over Grossmont. Down by four at the half the Comets came back with some timely steals by Embrey to put the game away. Chaffin led Comet scorers with 22, while Cnossen hit for 15. Forward Bill Belander tallied 17 for

Beauty princess 'turns on Escondido' By AI Simmons ''I turned on Escondido,'' exclaimed Palomar Student Terri Dietz recently. Turning on Escondido and attending classes at both Palomar and UCSD is how Miss Dietz has been keeping busy lately. And that's not to mention personal appearances at North County schools and official functions, and working part time at an Escondido men's store. Miss Dietz is the Miss Escondido Princess who ''turned on Escondido'' at Christmas time by throwing the switch to light up the downtown Yule decorations. Other official duties and functions have not prevented her from devoting enough time to her studies to earn scholarships to UCSD . ''There's one scholarship which is a California State Scholarship which will pay my tuition and fees," she explained. "I also received an educational deferment loan which helps pay my fees at the beginning of each quarter, and a National Defense loan, both of which I can pay back after I graduate." Majoring in mathematics, 18 year old Terri had a head start on most Palomar freshmen last year. She had already taken her iirst semester of calculus at Palomar while still a member of the 1970 senior class at Orange Glen High School. During that time she entered the Miss Escondido Contest. "Entering the Miss Escondido Contest was kind of a spur of the moment thing,'' she admitted. "It was right at the tail end of when they were still picking entries and I'd never done anything along that line before.
''My reason for entering the contest was to get involve d in community activities. I enjoy getting involved and meeting people and this was one way of doing it," she added. Since Terri had recently moved to Escondido from Los Angeles, the contest was a good way of getting to know the people of Escondido. And it turned out quite well since she was awarded first runner-up and has attended many civic functions since then as Miss Escondido Princess. Miss Dietz recounted, "I was really busy doing this, that, and the other around Christmas. I attended a couple
Terri Dietz
bank openings, appeared for some pictures at the opening of a mobile home sales office in San Diego, and I turned on Escondido. ''Now I'm working along with the Escondido Chamber of Commerce to promote some enthusiasm for the upcoming Miss Escondido Contest to be held in February," she added. But now that she is starting her first quarter at UCSD Terri won't have the time for more contests. In fact she will start attending classes at the UC campus before her classes at Palomar are completed. "I'm leaving Palomar early and having a hassle.' • Miss Dietz elaborated, ''I'm having to come back to Palomar after school starts at UCSD to take my last few tests. So my first week of school down there I have to study for finals up here." She explained that she had applied to UCSD last February, but at that time they weren't accepting any more freshmen applicants . ''The reason I went to Palomar this semester was just because I didn't get into UCSD," she conceded. "I can't say there's anything gravelywrong with Palomar. For a certain type of person, if that's what he wants to do, then it's good. But for me it's not what I wanted to do." But one thing Terri did want to do was to get involved in the ecology movement. "It's really a worthwhile cause. A lot of critics are afraid that the ecology movement is a big fad and that within a year or so it's just going to fade out and
nobody's going to pay any attention to it. I hope that doesn't happen. •• Other extra-curricular activities Terri digs include all kinds of sports and sewing. Her sewing helped her place as well as she did in the Miss Escondido Contest. That was her forte in the talent competition. "We were judged on poise, charm, personality, and talent." She continued, "For the talent portion I displayed some things I had made and told about them in some poetry I had written for the event." Terri believes that beauty contests aren't for everyone. "Different girls I've talked to feel that when you're in a beauty contest you're just trying to prove something to yourself, but I don't think that's true." "The - thing about entering contests is with each additional contest you enter, you learn a little bit more and you gain a l_it!J.e more self-confidence. ''The Miss Escondido Contest was really a great experience and I wouldn't have given it up for anything. I'm very glad I entered. But to me it's not one of the most important things, and I So now I'd like to had a taste of it. work more on my education for awhile,'' concluded the princess.
