Debate teams return with more trophies Third pl ace trophies were won by the Palomar debate team of Donna Reeps and Suzy Williams at the Arizona State University Debate Invitational he ld in Phoenix last week . After six preliminary round s , Palomar was one of the two community colleges teams to advance to the quarter-fina ls with victories over Arizona State, University of Texas, Mesa (Arizona) , Scottsdale and Brigham Young. Palomar became the only two-year sc hool left in the competition as they defeated Colorado on a 2-1 decision in the quarter fin als. A loss in the semi -final bracket to Cal State Long Beach finall y e liminated the Palomar team. At the same time the debate team of Bob Miller and Floyd McKiethen were competing at the Sacramento State Invitational and returned with an impressive four win-two loss as they defeated UC !3erkely, Fresno State (twi ce) and Santa Clara. Coach Ray Dahlin stressed the overall ten win- four loss record as an outstanding achievement for the college, since P a lom ar was represented in two geographi cal areas during the same weekend. Speech coaches Dahlin and Mitties McDonald are now preparing the squad for the Loyola Winte r Invita tiona l.

Though this may appear to be some · ones's e laborate setting for a Ha lloween party, it is actually the set designed by Norm an Gaskins, technical dit·ector fot· the drama department's production of ''Dark of the Moon" which opens No\·ember 4.
"We're being purely theatrical in creating the special effects," Gaskins said. "There is no attempt being made to s how reali sm.'' Othe r special effects used will be through make-up. The method of using Karo syrup and tissue paper to create old age is amo ng the make-up tricks being employed. Among the people he lping with the technical s id e of the play are Cathy Bronson and Ann Hamilton, wardrobe; Obie O'Brien and Bill Alge r, sound ef-
fects; Paul Peeve , Shelley Smith and Laurie Tanner, construction. Gaskins commented that everything seems to be under control in spite of l a te supplies. ''I also feel this will be one of the more interesting and appealing plays because it's an American play with a fantasy theme imposed." ' Gaskins conclud ed . The play will run November 4-6 and continue November ll- 13 in P-33.
Robert Garvin has been e lected ASG president in a n extre mely close runoff election. Garvin defeated the top vote getter in the first round, JC Heminger, by the narrow margin of five votes, 198 to 193. In the other two races being contested, Susan Nelson defeated Steve Miller 203 to 181 for the Vice Presidency. This made Susan the top vote getter among all candidates . Also, Donna Reeps was e lected Humanities Representative by a vote of 83 to 70 over newly e lected president Garvin. The votes were tabul ated Wednesday under the supervision of out-going Judicial Advocate Ray Daniel. Amongthose counting the ballots were TELESCOPE Editor Vic Heman, reporter Dave Fetzer, Student Assembly members John W. Glenn and Gary Fokken, Elaine Brooks a nd Amelia S. Calac. All r esults were double-checked to insure accuracy. At the outset of the campaign for presidency Garvin said: "The worsening student government situation at Palomar College is partially due to the apathy of the student body, but in fairness it must be recognized that it is also attributable to the lack of initiative and vigor on the part of the gove rnment coupcils of the past. "If the students are given an active
and vocal council willing to accept the responsibility for ideas leading to expansion of student influence and power, I believe participation and concern for the student governments here at Palomar will increase accordingly. "To accomplish this, the officers of the executive counc il must be willing to take strong stands on vital student interests. They must provide the type

of leadership that will be conducive to an atmosphere of student enthusiasm and concern on the issues . "I seek the office of the presidency because I have strong ideas about what must be done to enhance council effectiveness. I am willing to put myself on the block in an effort to achieve a greater voice for the students in the decisions of policy of this institution now made strictly by the administration. ''There are projects of value, such as a day care center, which have been on the drawing boards here for years. The faculty dining room would be easily convertible for this purpose. "Your support will determine whether we make the changes necessary to remove the student government from the realm of the farcical, or permit the continuance of the depreciation of student influenc e.'' "I run because of my opposition to those who would rechannel student funds from the worthwhile activities of all interests of this campus to those activities designed for the specific benefit of a few .

Instructional technology courses system pioneered by Dr. Mahan
The History of Costume class designed the country costumes to be worn by the large cast and t he Stagecraft class used their creative e ne rgies in constructing the set. A real cohesive effort was put into the construction of the set by Gaskin's classes. Some of the problems confronted by Gaskins and his c rew were fitting the set inside such small facilities and obtaining certain visual and sound effects . With so many different scenes, a multi-scene setting was devised by Gaskins by building a turntable cabin. In turning the cabin around on the turntable, the inside is opened and seen. "The difficulty in this structure was making it work appropriately, smoothly without making too much nois e or getting stuck," Gaskins explained. Students Garth Warner and John Higdon assisted with the designing of the pivot and wheels on the cabin. Gaskins call ed this idea "a new innovation for a limited stage." "Another problem was getting the massive mountain-top effect. The mountains had to be built on different levels and sturdy e nough for people to run up and down and be able jump on.'' Gaskins added. Special effects were designed by Ed Null who e mploys a strobe . light, black light and fog machine to acquire particular atmospheres.

A system of instructional technology, using especially prepared tape recordings and manuals , has been developed by a faculty member who said the innovation has the potential capacity of 1,400 students for one instructor. Dr. Harry C. Mahan, chairman of the department of behavorial sciences, has placed the system in full operational use this fall after six years of expe rimentations and refinements of the plan. "Our department, in 1965, embarked on a project to simultaneously improve and reduce the cost of presenting the introductory course in general psychology," he said. "After five yea rs of experim entation, the course was reclas s ified from experimental to operational in the fall of 1970," Mahan said. In the first semester l ast year, 569 students were enrolled. The number went above 600 last spring, and in the current fall semester the e nrollment is 800 stude nts. "The basic thesis of the system is simplicity itself," Mahan said. "Instead of atte nding lectures , students listen to the prepared tape cassettes or study from manuals designed around the questiona nswer method of instruction. Their class attendance may be limited to once a week, during which they take a taperecorded, oral, 20-minute test. These tests are scored right in the classroom by machine in less than two minutes for a c lass of 50 students. Following this, the remainder of the hour is de-
voted to discussion of those items that a r e missed. Students who have not achieved a qualifying score return to repeat the test at another hour. "Fourteen suc h tests," he continued, ''most of them having up to 25 questions devoted to the review, comprise the course requirements." "Project Socrates " has attracted the atte ntion of colleges and univers ities throughout the country and virtually every community college in California has r equested examination copies of the manual for the course,' 'Mahan said. "With no further development or equipment than we have right now, I estimate the normal teac hing load for one instructor being overworked. Also, the use of classroom space is out to a little more than one-third of that needed for traditionally-taught courses.~ Observers of the system have called it a significant breakthrough in the use of instructional technology, with a potential for releasing faculty time and classroom space for other courses in which small sections are necessary. Mahan said that in the initial classes under the system last year, student attrition in the course was not appreciably higher than that of the college as a whole even though successful com pletion required a grade level not lower than "B". This college year is the first 'year of full operation of the course at Palomar. The system will be available for adoption on other campuses by the fall of 1972, Mahan said.
Comets host undefeated Chaffey Wiebe's defensive unit ready for big challenge
Scott Peters
Scott Peters-~little-big man' By Jim Karounos When a quarterback completes a successful play he usually has ten other teammates to thank. However, the guys he really looks to are linemen. The linemen are "the men in the trenches' and are the unsung heroes. The offensive guards really have it bad. They no t only get into all the dirty work, but they have to stop some big 220 pound lineman.. from getting through to the quarterback. The ideal weight a nd size of guards s hould be 220 pounds and at least six feet tall. T he Cornets don't seem to follow this stereotype. One of the Cornet's guards, Scott Peters is only 5' - 3 1/2" and weighs only 165 pounds. Peters, a 1970 graduate of Vista High, was named Most Valuable Player at Vista High and also All League Guard for the Avocado League team in 1970. Head Coach Mack Wiebe said, "Scott Peters is one of the best 165 pound football players we ever had. Peters is a hard worker, has excellent form and has a great deal of pride in what he does." In the game against Saddleback, Scott was elected co- captain by his fellow teammates. Peters, a sophomore, might play with the Cornets again next season.
Coach Mack Wiebe's footballers will have their hands full tomorrow night as Chaffey College rolls into town. Chaffey is 3-0 in conference play corning off with a 20-1 4 win over Rive rside last week, while Palomar was getting beaten 33- 20. The game will be held at Memorial Field at 7:30 p. rn. Palomar got off to a very poor s ta rt as Citrus scored on their first play from scrimmage , a 61 yard scr een pass between quarterback Tim Babish a nd back Archie Clark. The Cornets' secondary made very costly mental mistakes and Owl quarterback Babish took fu ll advantage ofthese . After the screen pass Babish started going to Mike O'Rourke at split end. After another Citrus score, O'Rourke wrestled the ball away from cornerrnan Mike Dedic and then scored on a 49 yard bomb up the sidelines, that left the game at 19-0. Another score was added as Dwayne Sims went over from the one. The game started out as a slaughter, and any lesser team might have given up, but Palomar, playing their hardest over t he last three periods, held the conference leading Owls to only one more score .
Palomar got on the scoreboard in the second quarter when quarte r back Mark Leszczynski circled right end, scoring from six yards out. The Cornets scor ed twice in the final period on runs of one yard by Jack Thoreson a nd Dave Thompson. Gary Prim was the game's leading receiver with 85 yards on three catches . Jack Thoreson a lso had a fine game goi ng 69 yards on 19 carries, and one touc hdown.
c
The probable offe nsive starting lineup will be Jeff Frye at center, Scott Peters and Bob Ki nley at the guards, Mike Outlaw and Marc Radlinski at the tackles, Pete Yorkoski at tight- e nd, Gary Prim and Rex Holloway at the wide receivers, and Rick Bennett, Jack Thoreson, and Rick Barrios in the backfield. Defensively the Cornets will go with Art Roberts and Mike Badsky at the tackles, Charlie Szentsi and Steve Schmidt at the ends, Dennis Huff, Dave Briley and Dave Stephens at the linebackers. Mike Dedic, Clark Fuller, .Teff Brown, and Alton Mathews will round out the Cornet defense in the secondary.
Two women's trophies at stake when archers travel to Tucson tomorrow By George Salinas Two women's championship trophies for excellence in archery will be at stake this weekend at Tuscon, Arizona. Bonnie Bass, Sharon Kilgore, Barbara Schettler and Gail Vittitoe, all firstyear varsity team members, will be there to defend them. The trophies are the individual woman's championship Jewel Trophy and the Southwestern State Charnpionhip Trophy awarded to the best women's team. Both awards have been earned by Palomar teams during 1970 and 1971. "It's going to be rough!" archery coach Mildred Ayers said of her fledgling team. "We will be missing some
of our former stars like Terry Gibson a 19 69- 70 and 1970-71 All- American nominee, and Monica Grage, wi nner of the Jewel Trophy and the individual Southwestern States champion. "The new team is one of the best balanced squads we have had in several years, but it takes two or three years to build a champion archer. Four of them were in beginning archery last spring and ha ve progressed to varsity stature this year . ~ For the men, conditions aren't much better. All-American nominee George Plocic, Rudy Folds, Ken Randle, and Jeff Eller will be competing against the likes of archery giant Steve Lieberman. He is considered a likely prospect to represent the United States in the next Olympiad . This summer he was on the U. S. traveling team that com peted for the first time in Ru;;sia. In l ast week's action the Cornet arc hers placed second in the San Bernardino mini-tournament that was' attend ed by three other Southern Cal schools. The top four s hoote rs were Rudy Folds, Jeff Eller, Barbara Schettler, and Bonnie Bass . Plocic's score was decl ared ine ligible under a new National Arche ry Association ruling which prohibits a player from competing for more than three years in junior college competition. His score is adm is sable , however , when competing with four year schools.
Mike Outlaw, offensive player of the week for the Citrus game, will be in the thick of the battle Saturday night when Palomar takes on Chaffey. Mike a n All- Avocado League selection his senior year at Poway is a sophomore and is a potential All- Mission Confere nce tackle this season. Mike is 6' 2" a nd weighs 205 pounds.
