College notified of new five year accreditation Palomar College has again received full five - year accreditation, the maximum, in the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. The accreditation assures that credits earned by Palomar students will be accepted by colleges and universities in the western states and generally in other states. Dr. Harry Wiser, executive secretary of the Western Association, notified Palomar officials of the favorable accreditation action. The extended accreditation was based on a detailed study of all phasesofPalomar academic and other operations, made by a nine-member accreditation team in October. This second full five-year accreditation received by the college under the administration of Dr. Frederick R. Huber, president is effective July I. "I was very pleased that they gave us the full five-year accreditation," stated Dr. Huber. "I was confident that we merited it, however, one can't always be absolutely sure that the team might not feel that there is some aspect or weakness present. "This approval ties in with the high records of the Palomar College graduates at four year institutions. The community itself can take pride in Palomar's achievements.' •
Repertory Dance
presents program Repertory Dance Theatre of the University of Utah, widely recognized as America's only repe rtory modern dance company, will be presented at Palomar College at 8 p.m. Feb. 16, in the Dome gymnasium. The booking is a part of the Palomar Lecture and Entertainment Series of 1970-71. "A truly unique company, Repertory Dance Theatre offers a variety of performances unequalled by any other company," said Theodore Kilman, director of the college Community Services Department. "They are young, enthusiastic, fully professional and highly talented." The group performs the works of more than 20 outstanding choreographers. The repertoire ranges from the classics of modern dance to the most a vant-garde experimentation. Working and creating year-round, RDT make its home the University of Utah at Salt Lake City, the only modern company to be in permanent residence at a university. All the dancers in the 12-member cast received their basic traininginuniversity dance departments. The original idea for formatio n of RDT was born in 1964 and was implemented by Virginia Tanner, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the University of Utah. A number of the dancers in the group have received enthusiastic acclaim from prominent dance critics for their choreographic skill, and some have been invited to create works for other companies in this country and abroad . Tickets will be $1. 50, or $. 75 for stud ents, and reservations may be made by telephone to the college Community Services office.
Members of the accreditation team, all of them prominent educators in California made a verbal report of their findings in an assembly on the campus, after their studies were completed in October. At that time, Dr. John T. McCuen, president of Glendale College and chairman of the group, cited the Palomar educational program as "excellent' • and designed to effectively serve all segments of the student body and area public. The detailed written report, justcompleted, commended Palomar on its cultural minority program, newapproaches to instruction, student and faculty involvement in curriculum development, adult course offerings and high standards of scholarship.

'Phaedra' tryouts begin tomorrow Tryouts for the Drama Department's production of Jean Racine's "Phaedra" will be held tomorrow and Thursday in room P33 from 3 to 5 p.m. Five female, fou r male roles and some extras will compose the cast. The story revolves around the central character of Phaedra who loves her stepson Hippolytus who in turn scorns her. Considered by many as possibly one of the greatest neo-classical versions, Lowell's translation, which will be used, is the best. Commenting on the play, the New York Times has reviewed It as, "The quintessence of French neoclassic theater." Critic Eric Bentley praised, "Perhaps the most civilized great tragedy ever written."

Palomar initiates new program for area high school dropouts A course designed especially for high school drop-outs in the area, open to students 15, 16 and 17 years old, will be inaugurated at Palomar College this month. The Planning and Conservation League will have an all day meeting at the UCSD School of Medicine in room 2100, Saturday, Feb. 20. Registration is at 9 a.m. with many speakers scheduled. The program consists of two basic courses in applied mathematics and drafting, and a course in "Communications in Human Relations and Industry.'' The instructors will be Warren Donahue, George Austin and Byron Gibbs. Donahue, in announcing the program said, "This is an experimental project by interested instructors, to see if we can do something for the high school drop-outs of the district. All the class routine s will be very flexible, with no regimented programs, no grading system, and with the students themselves to have a voice in what we do. Provision will be made for the students to study and progress at individual rates. Math students will learn to use the slide rule, desk calculator and surveyor's transit. The drafting class will include use of drafting instruments, blue print machine and duplicating equipment. Field work is to be a part of the study, including visits to engineering and industrial projects. "The intent of this experiment," Donahue said, "is to salvage students who are capable of holding suitable e mployment but who for some reason have become high school drop-outs. We will concentrate on learning to know the individual and will attempt to involve all students in the planning and structuring of c l ass activities. The student will receive c r edit towards a high school
diploma or towards a college program if he enrolls as a regular student when he becomes 17 and a half years of age. "Some of us here in Palomar," Donahue continued, "are convinced that there is a great need to provide suitable subject matter for the vocational-technical students and this program is an attempt to generate beginning solutions. We hope the program will expand into other areas of courses if this one proves successful." Donahue said prospective students may call for information, to his offfice at Palomar College, between ll a.m. and noon, or to the office of Continuing Education at the college.

ENVIRONMENTALLY SPEAKING
Top films set for semester
Writer explains ecology activities By Gemma Parks Fellow Breat hers and Waste-Makers: P ollution seems an overwhelming prob lem. Whole cities are being buried in garbage. Trees, birds and people are dyi ng from smog. We are wasting our natural resour ces. "It's all just terrible and someone s hould do something about it." "Let's hope t he government soon passes some laws . " "I don't like it, but I'm just one person, so what can I do?" T hese expressions are heard around campus and indeed represent the way I thought until about six months ago when I attended the UCSD seminar on iJOllution. I was amazed to learn what one person can do. I had never realized t hat each of us as an individual makes the mess in this country. I always thought it was "the other guy." I consume, I waste, I pollute . Not some stranger in another area, but you and I right here in San Diego County. It's up to us to change our habits now. Control your environment. Only you can do it. Act on your own to affect the conditions under which you live. When we want to avoid action we tend to try to blame a mess on someone else. For example, "industry," but manufacturers who pollute can' t make money unless we support them . They will respond to your desires-but you must make yourself felt and heard. Felt by the way you spend your money right here in California and heard by writing letters. (50 letters in one week to a particular company is enough to make a major change in policy.) "The solution to the e nvironmental small things in his everyday life to lessen his impact on the life support system." (Ecology Action-Davis, Calif.) What kind of "small things" can we do? Each time"Environmentally Speaking" appears I will give you suggestions for a change in your living pattern. Try them. They are small but when we neglect them by the millions we have ''pollution. ' ' Le t me know about individuals or groups in North County who are making a positive contribution to the community by collec ting, recycling and cleaning up areas. Let me know about environmental action groups. Inform m e of any gripes, suggestions or questions concerning the environment. Don't add to "thought pollution" by letting your thoughts go to waste. One small step for the environment right here at Pa!omar: Request a paper cup for your drink at the snack-bar. Refus e plastic as it is not biodegradable. Bring your own cup for re- use (make sure it's standard si ze). After you read the school paper put it back in the rack for the next guy or pass it on. Action letter: Write to plastic bag companies requesting that they make their products biod egradable . Plastic

Steve Sanders, who se r ved as a police officer for five years, now finds time
to write poetry and songs . (Photo by Paul Vautier)
Ex-policeman raps on law and poetry By Paul Vautier Steve Sanders talks about the policestudent conflict with more than a passing interest. For five years the 28- yearold Palomar student served as a police officer in Orange County. In a recent interview, Steve, who occupies his spare time writing poetry and song lyrics, discussed the present tension between police and students. "The conflict is really between students and the establishment," he declared. "The police are merely a vanguard . While students have their demands, many of which a re justified , police also have their orders and are trained to react in a certain situation. "When police and students enter the a r eas, all the frustrations that both sides feel are brought to a head, and from that point on a form of mass hysteria can easily ignite itself into an e rupting volcano of emotions.'' Steve attributes much of the problem to the sets of values one finds in our socie ty. " An individual who breaks the law can be put in jail," he explained, "while a corporation, a group or politician can, through 'legal' techniques, exploit large s egments of society with no fear of repercussion." Recalling his days on the forc e , Steve talked of his disenchantment with being a police officer. "I found that preventing laws from being broken wasn't my bag. Instead of riding herd on people, I would rather teach them how it should be, rather than punish them for how it is . " Much of the poetry that Steve writes deals with life and its meaning, because he spends a good deal of time thinking about life. For as long as he can remember, Steve has been writi ng. "I've always had a pen in my hand-putting my ideas down on paper, " he mused . "Words and their meanings are important. Every person has a way of expression, whether it be singing, danci ng, or working on a car. I seem to express myself best with the pen." Lately Steve's writing efforts have been di rected toward song lyrics. He and Bob Kend r ick, another Palomar student, have formed a musicalpartners hip. Bob writes the music and Steve provides lyrics. Recently they took their song, "She's Not Sitting'', to various publis he r s in Hollywood for a reaction. "A couple of them like it. However, they recommended that we p ick a current popular group and write something specifically for t hem. T hat •s apparently
the_ ~ st way to crack the market, but we refuse to go that route . If something we write can be used commercially- fine . But we will not create a song just for the sake of selling it." As to plans for the future, Steve admits to having none . "Sometimes not to have a goal bothers: me," he c onfessed, "but I think I grow more through random wanderings.' • His present position in life ? He pondered for a moment and then answered. ' 'I picture myself as an iceberg, drifting in the sea of life-- searching for warm waters so I can melt and become part of the whole." An unusual statement? Yes, but then Steve Sanders is an unusual guy.
