A ssembly continues forming committees By Dave Fetzer Committee selection was once again the order of business at last Monday's Student Assembly meeting. The main point of controversy at the first meeting, the curriculum committee, was resolved quite quickly. After the five candidates present and one proxy for the sixth stated their reasons for wanting this position, the entire slate was easily passed. These six are Amelia Calac, Rose Duro, John Higdon, Tito Encinas, Santos Cruz and Ester Villareal, who sent a proxy in her place. Surprisingly, thes e six were the same group that were the subject of the debates at last week's meeting. Chairman Jess Torres pointed out that these six can be removed at any time by president Garvin. Next on the agenda was the approval of two representatives to the Scholarship committee. The two nominees were Sharon Lowe and Jill Moore. Garvin explained his choices by saying that it was hard to find people with experience. Describing his choices, Garvin said, "Educationally they qualify, intellectually they qualify." Parliamentarian Ray Daniel, however, questioned whether the committee screened applicants for aid and scholarships. Dean Marjorie Wallace, head of financial aids, exp lained. "These students,"路 she said, " would participate in
scholarship awards in the spring sem ester.'' It was discovered that no one really knew enough about the activities of the committee for a proper vote; so, on Jess Torres' suggestion, approval was delayed to Thursday's meeting. The only real semblance of firework s came during discussion of Garvin's appointments to the Student Publications Board. The three named were TELE- . SCOPE Editor Vic Heman, reporter Rosela DelCastillo and Cher Kunz. Ray Daniel sparked the debate by suggesting a possible conflict of interest, especially in the case of Heman. Representative Gary Fokken then stated that he "didn't believe Garvin had enough knowledge to clarify the conflict of interest matter and the actions of the committee both. Daniel retorted that Garvin should have the knowledge in this matter. Finally, Garvin withdrew his recommendations. The closing matter of business was the report from the newly appointed rules committee. There was slight disagreement on the matter of initiation and passing of constitutional amendments. As Fokken put it, "We legislate, students elect." However, it was later stated that interpretation of the constitution is the responsibility of the Judicial Advocates. With no further discussion, a motion was approved to have the committee recommendations put under further study and the meeting was adjourned .

By Rosela DelCastillo Drawing on Smoky Mountain lore, legend, music, and magic, "Dark of the Moon" opened to a near-capacity audience November 4. 路 This allegorical story of a witchboy who wishes to be human so that he can marry mortal Barbara Allen, had an interesting and timely theme which was brought out with humor and irony.

Draft debated by five instructors By Dave Fetzer
He next pointed out the necessity he felt for America to always be prepared to defend itself. Chambless asserted that past history can be forgotten and that the "time frontier is gone . War is total," he said. "It embraces every

citizen. We should ask ourselves what we can do most satisfactorily for our society." Finally, he described volunteer armies as being often "composed of men looking for citizenship." This was subsequently equated with morale as Chambless warned, "Destroy morale and you destroy the army." He ended with the now familiar line, "There is no substitute for victory." ASG president Robert Garvin, himself an ex-Marine, opened the case for the con side. He called the attitude that "war is inevitable," "dangerous and defeatist. " Garvin, unlike Dr. Chambless, c hose to use statistics to back up his charges with statistics. "In 19 67," he claimed, "there was a possible pool of two milion men between the ages of 18 and 26, yet only 300,000 were actually drafted." Garvin defended the volunteer army

Room P-32 was where the action and the people were last Friday as the Young Democrats sponsored a debate on the pros and cons of the draft. Approximately 220 students were in attendance, filling the room to near capacity. These 220 were not dissappointed as they were treated to a lively and informative di scussion. With the two teams alternating, Dr. Beauford Chambless started the proceedings for the pro side. His main reasons for supporting were that the draft "produces a better soldier" and it "divides the burden" most equally "among the largest group" of citizens.

system as being ''less costly.'' He claimed that it would "eliminate the hassles of compulsory systems.'' The current system he chose to call a "form of explicit tax" on the fighting man. The next speaker for the pro side was John Tanner, Palomar instructor. His basic points were backed up by historical data. The main charge made in his remarks was that ''committing to a volunteer a rmy would be discriminatory to minorities.'' Tanner warned that we must "keep a strong division between the citizen and military mentality, with civilian control." Richard Peacock of the faculty was the next con speaker, claiming that the first two pro-sid e speakers had contradictory viewpoints. He refuted Dr. Chambless' claim that a volunteer army would be one of immigrants by pointing out that "many immigrants came to the (Continued on back page)

were shown in scenes throughout the play. When John, the witchboy, firstarrives as a human to the village, he is regarded with prejudice because he is a stranger. After they discover he is willing to marry husbandless and pregnant Barbara Allen he is accepted by her family. Preacher Haggard is another symbol employed to depict hypocrisy. Biblequoting, soul-saving Preacher Haggard, quotes to fit every occasion, even when drinking "mountain dew.'' Perhaps the most powerful and meaningful scene in the story and performed by the cast was a revival scene which shows hypocrisy at its highest level. The scene was of the gathered congregation singing hymns to save the people on the mourner 's bench. When the mourners felt ready to repent they confessed their sin and were re- admitted among the other people . Mrs. Allen forces Barbara Allen. who has just borne a witch child. to the mourners bench so that she may repent for marrying a witch. The people become so insistent and vicious that Barbara reveals that John will cease to be a witch if she remains faithful on that last day that will complete a year of their marriage. By using the argument that John wasn't with her when she had the child, they convince her into believing the terrible sin she will be committing if she does remain faithful. Confused and pressured, Barbara relents. Marvin Hutchings , her former boyfriend, takes advantage of the situation to "save her soul" by volunteering to seduce her. This ultimately leads to a pessimistic ending. This ensemble acting and the witch's ballet, which was choreographed by Kim Eckert, were the show's highlights. The folk songs, played and danced through the show added variety and country flavor to the folk story. Leads Steve Phelps, who had good technical movements, and Rosemary Powers executed journeyman performances in their roles opening night. More interplay between them might have added to the credibility in their roles. Standing out with her interpretation of I\Trs Allen was Ahva Rana. Miss Rana displayed her talent by playing the guitar, singing and carrying the role of Barbara Allen's aged mother quite well. In the role of Uncle Smelycue, the balladeer, Bob Kendricks also turned out a well done job. Fairwitch, Cher Woodward and Darkwitch Darlene Laskowski were pleasing assets to the supernatural side of the cast. As a whole, the cast worked well together in the fine production scenes, probably due to the efforts of Buddy .-\shbrook, director. Supporting cast members included : John Higdon, Doll y Laskowski , Cher Woodward, Mary Vollmer, Vic Machanis, Claudia Keithley, Bob Kendrick and Cher Kunz. Special effects created by Norm Gaskin's, technical director, technical crew were interesting. Audience commentaries were made on the shadowy lighting, making it difficult to observe the actors expressions and reactions. "Dark of the Moon" will continue to play tonight and tomorrow night at 7:30 p.m. in p - 33. Tickets are $1.50 for adults and $.50 for students.
