Community housing problems outlined By Je r ry Nicholas T here doesn't seem to be an easy solution to the student hous ing s hortage . Conside ring that the issue seems to have been overlooked by the college administration, s tude nt gove rnme nt and the community, an inves tigation bord er s on the ac ademic . Dormitory- type hous ing c ould be built ne ar to the c ampus by private pa rties if plans we r e approve d by the di s trict, perhaps on c ampus p r ope rty, but so far no one has jumped at the opportunity. No stud ent groups have s hown any interest e ither. The PJC distric td oe s n'th a ve the m oney to build housing, according to Robe r t
Burton , de an of s tud e nt pe rsonne l. Yet De an Burton la beled t he l ac k of housing "one of our major proble m s .

Why Draft Repeal'
'I will survive' ... US prisoner this is the third in a (Ed. Note: series of nine articles dealing with the question, "Why Draft repeal"?) The following is a letter sent by a young man to a friend living in North San Diego County. The young man is black, a conscientious objector, and is in prison. The letter illustrates the feelings and reasoning behind s ome young men who end up c hoosing to go to prison rather than the armed forces. Names and other information have been deleted out of concern for the individuals named in the letter. Dear (name withheld), I am doing as well as can be expected given my present environm ent. The food is edible if not very nutritious. I am not hassled or harassed. I am in good company. All of my cell mates are honest, decent human beings . One has the makings of one of the "truly committed. H My birthday was not unhappy as I received many warm and marvelous greetings from friends and colleagues, and that helped a lot. I've always felt that birthdays are a time for reflection and meditation and I had the cause and time to do both. Birthday celebrations are for the very young or very old and since I am neither, there was no love lost. Vietnam and Cambodia are murder, pure and simple. The draft and conscription are immoral, inhuman and illegal. I cannot succomb to either. I recognize the power of no man or woman to make a decision for me without my consultation. No man can decide when, where, why, or how I should be willing to give up my life. The draft seeks to do just that. Therefore, I must resist it. No man can determine for me who my enemies are, or how I should feel, or under what circumstances I should loose my life. Neither Mr. Nixon, the Draft Board, the Federal Courts, or the American people have that right. No man is that wise or that perfect. Five years in jail is a small price to pay for one's sanity and one's soul, especially when others have paid with their lives. If such thoughts are crimial, then I cannot think otherwise. If I must be jailed for s uch thoughts, then the consequences are America's. Vietnam and Cambodia are genocide. These attrocities are crimes against
Anti-draft petition wi II be circu Iated For those wishing to sign a petition calling for the defeat of President Nixon's draft extention bill there will be a table set up in the Student Union at 11 a. m. tomorrow. The document will be sent to the US Senate where four senators, led by California's Al an Cranston, are spearheading the drive against the administration's plans to discontinue undergraduate deferments and exemptions for divinity students. Senate bill S427 is a two-year extension of the draft presently on the floor of the congressional body.

humanity. The people responsible will be· tried for such, either by history or the progeny of the war's American and Asian victims. In the tradition of the gestapo, the secret police, or the Nazis, the local repreB entatives of the Federal Government, the U. S. Attorneys for New Orleans and the U. S. Marshalls illegally and by stealth of night, and of course without giving notice to me, my family, or my attorneys, spirited me out of Orleans Parish Prison in New Orleans. I write this letter from a prison which is unfit for human habitation, and from a cell that house s six people in a s pace made for two . I am bereft of blanket or s heet. The temperature outside is 32 degrees and since there is no heat in here and the window is broken, the temperature in this cell can't be much higher. Remember, that this is a prison authorized to house federal prisoners- -authori zed by the U. S. Government! In its treatment of the black and the young this country is determined to outdo the Germans in their treatment of the Jews. America is the Germany of the 70's. Its troops, domestic and military, are the Neo-Nazis of the world. As I see the injustice, the misery, the human destruction which is so much a part of this country my resistance to the institutions and policies of America grows stronger. No amount of imprisonment, illtreatment, or repression will deter me from my committment to refuse to cooperate with a society, an institution, or an event which results from or has resulted from the exploitation of human beings . As far as I am conc erned any situation that results from the exploitation of any person or persons is illegitimate. Any man who exploits another is criminal. Even if the exploited willingly cooperate in their exploitation, the exploiter is still r esponsible for he has taken advantage of another person's sickness or weakness. This morning I arrived at the Federal Correctional Institution, Texarkana, Texas. This place is better than most prisons, worse than others, and as dismal as all are. Now, in the tradition of the American anti- human my name has been taken away again. Only this time rather than an identifying brand, I am given an identifying number. I revert back to American Slavery. Before I/We were e nslaved to create America's wealth. Today, I am enslaved, forced to work because I dared to refuse to enslave others to expand American wealth. Must man be continually offered only two roles; victims or executioners? I think not. Luckily, there are others who don't believe that these are the only two roles for man to play. There must be many who refuse to play either role . I hope this letter will be forwarded to you . Of course if it isn't, then I will know about it tomorrow. Since mail has been coming in, assumed that it would go out. I am as well as can be expected. The physical plant here is much better. This place is cleaner and therefore more sanitary. However, the regimentation and circumscription are greater. It is astounding how willingly some people will surrender camraderie, thoughts, plans, and actions for material security. Here, competition reigns supreme. Institutionalization is complete. Nevertheless, I will survive. Love to all,

New outdoor English classroom Different name -same game features fresh air education
In case you haven't heard, the name of the school has been changed to Palomar Community College. Perhaps the irony of this title is best seen in light of the housing s hortage. That is, if Palomar were any kind of a community, wouldn'tsomethinghave been done about the problem a long time ago. For years student government has been busy r efining dance policies and moneymaking schemes , instead of dealing with the problems of students. That's why after investigating the question of the student housing shortage we concluded that it is an important issue. It gives students and student government a chance to get behind a nonpolitically based project that can do nothing but help other students. Lack of community awareness, awareness of student problems, concerns, mutual needs and power is at the heart of the ASG's decline to a rather hapless vocal minority. We suggest the ASG support further investigation into the housing issue. Long-range goals should include inquiry into the feasibility of studentsponsored housing, keeping the district informed of student opinion on the subject, and analyzing future needs . Actions can be taken now. Why not have an up-to-date list of available rentals printed periodically for free distribution to students? It could be compiled from student referrals, eventually snow-balling into an effective system. Maybe it won't work . But nobody's ever tried it. And with organization comes power. No students were present at San Marcos City Council meetings when landowners zoned away the chances of low-cost housing near the campus. Maybe it's too late for housing at Palomar, but c hances won't get any better in the future.
Through the efforts of Richard Peacock, English instructor, and the rest of the English Department an outdoor classroom has been established on the northeast corner of the campus. ''The concept of the outdoor c lassroom not only provides students with education in a natural setting, but also could alleviate the college's problem with crowded classrooms," stated Peacock. Peacock said that the English Department has gotten the complete cooperation from the administration and the classified personnel in the establishment of the class. «Often times students and teachers would like to get out of t heir sterile classrooms, but it has been hard to find very many quiet places on campus in which to hold their classes," stated Peacock. Peacock cited several areas on the hill to the east of the campus which could also be used for outdoor classes. He feels that one of the biggest advantages of Southern California is the weather, and that the students and teache rs here are not making full use of some very beautifully l andscaped areas on campus.
not only with what they teac h but also where." Peacock admits that some classes need a more structured atmosphere than an outdoor setti ng can provide, but feels that there are many c lasses which could benefit from such a situation but have n't looked into it. ''The real determiner of the success of the idea is the response from the students," Peacock said. "So far it has been overwhelmingly approved . "
