Ceramics, art obiects on sale this week Looking for something off the beaten track as Christmas gifts? Items with a special "flair?" There'll be 1,000 of them to choose from at the annual sale of art and ceramic objects produced by Palomar college art students, scheduled from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Members of the college Art Guild are staging the sale, with students Paul Lippe and Steve Crow co-chairmen of arrangements. Val G. Sanders, of the art faculty, is assisting students in preparing for the sale. Sanders said the ceramic stock, all
of which employed non-poisonous glazes, will be displayed on the three days at the music quadrangle. Demonstrations will be made eachday of "throwing" on the potters wheel, glass blowing, and the raku firing and glazing process in pottery-making. Student-made articles to be offered in many unusual patterns and sizes include dishes, bowls, planters, wind chimes, bottles, candle holders, jugs, and ornamental glass-blown objects. A preview of some of the sale products may be seen in the art display case on the patio at the front of the art building.

THREE SEEK NURSING CAREERS
Foreign females find fine futures Three students from faraway lands, brought to North County by a variety of circums tances, found here the opportunity each had dreamed of to qualify as registered nurses and to follow that profession as their future careers. They have met each other at Palomar College where they are enrolled in the current class in the nurses' training program. The three are Marianne Nichols-Roy, from India; Mrs. Olav Meum, from Norway; and Elena Cuevas, from Mexico. Miss Nichols-Roy, who was born and reared in Shillong, among pine-covered hills in Northeast India, is living with her grandparents in Escondido. Mrs. Meum, r es iding in San Marcos, came to this country in 1963, after having lived in a small town about 10 Norwegian miles south of the Arctic Circle. Miss Cuevas, although born in the United States, lived for 13 years in the small Mexican village of Chapala, about 40 miles from Guadalajara. She is living witi1 friends in Oceanside. Their earlier contacts with this country through relatives or acquaintances led to their coming to this area. Their ambition to become nurses, due in part to the limited medical facilities in their native towns, led to their enrollment in the Palomar program. Miss Nichols-Roy, in the last five years before coming to America, attended a boarding school at Darjeeling West Bengal, India. "The school is run by Australian and New Zealand Baptists, has an international student body, and is one of the very few co-educational schools in India," she said. "The school was 500 miles and a night's train journey from my home town which we made at the beginning of every school year that runs from February to December. We couldn't go to school in the two mid-winter months, because there was no way to heat those huge stone buildings and it gets very cold around Christmas at 7,000 feet in the Himalayas." She has two sisters and one brother, younger than she, going to school in India. "The most special thing about
our family," she said, "is that we sing together a lot. My father is a minister in the state government of Meghalaya." She has been in this country two years. Mrs. Meum's home town is Foldereid, Norway, a small community she described as "spread along a narrow fjord. When I was born, my father had rowed a boat across the fjord to bring back a midwife but I arrived before they did." She said, "That was in 1944 and the country was still occupied by Germany.'' She said she attended a three-classroom school ''with the lower classes going one week, and the higher classes the next." She related that ''medical services were not easy to get. Every other Thursday a doctor came to the community." She attended high school in the south of Norway and came to this country in 1963, "meaning to stay only one year, but like a lot of Europeans before me, I feel now that I might stay here for the r est of my life." She said , "To become a registered nurse has been my goal for many years. This fall I was admitted into the nursing program at Palomar College. It is a very interesting and rewarding program and I am very happy to be a part of it." Miss Cuevas, referring to her former residence in Chapala, said, "In Guadalajara, the state capital, there are many excellent medical facilities and fine doctors, but there were medical problems for the many poor people living in outlying villages. They lacked transportation, with some not knowing how to locate a doctor or even make an appointment, and some lacked money for meals and lodging in the city. "I was well known in the small community, and was called upon many times to perform medical services. The people trusted me and expected me to handle situations that only I knew I was not really qualified to handle. I can still see their faces, as they said, 'Elena, please help me!'--which resulted in my doing what T could and praying it was me right thing. The frustration made me realize that I must have proper train-
ing, so now, finding myself with this opportunity at Palomar College, I feel that I am actually on my way at last to becoming a real, registered nurse."
These three student nurses came from foreign countries to realize a common
By Dave Fetzer Committee approvals were finally taken care of at yesterday's Student Assembly meeting. Representative Dave Ritter took over as acting chairman for the absent Chairman Jess Torres. The proceedings opened with the reve l ation that a ll the committees were approved beforehand by the Executive council. While all the others were approved as a block by the council, the Curriculum committee, a previous sore spot for the Assembly, had each member approved individually. However, the Assembly chose to vote on eac h as a separate block. Discussion on the committees centered around their functions. A rather comic note was struck when president Robert Garvin described the Safety committee (of which he is now a member) in this way; "They really don't do a whole lot of anything.'' Garvin also pointed out that the speed bumps, which would have been a matter for this committee, were "taken care of." When representative Steve Phelps asked what the Assembly committees' functions were, he received a bitter broadside from Judicial Advocate John Higdon. "Mr. Garvin is not an information center for the Assembly," Higdon retorted, "It's your job to find out on your own time." Higdon charged that the Assembly was "accomplishing nothing but taking up time." Ritter concurred on the matter. However, representative Steve Miller shot back, "But now, at this point, we don't know what we're voting on." Higdon sarcastically replied, "That's not unusual. •' Dave Carver continued the discussion by asking Garvin if he saw "any need for women on the committees?" Garvin replied that he "made no determination on the basis of sex." Surprisingly, each of the committees was passed either unanimously or almost so. Following are the committees and their members: Curriculum Committee: Camille Armstrong, Santos Cruz, Tito Encinas, Esther Villarreal, Don Rice and Amelia Calac: Safety Committee: Bob Garvin and John Higdon: Assembly Committee: Jess Cruz, William Duerdon and James Stackhouse: Student Publications Board: Bob Mitchell, Reuben Callegas and Steve Phelps. Tempers were short at times during the discussion causing a pair of noteworthy quotes from Ritter. At the height of the discussion, Ritter tried to stifle the debate by saying that he felt it was not proper to be arguing here. He was most frustrated when discussing the functions of the Student Publications Board. On his knowledge of the qualifications, Ritter cracked, "I don't know, and I don't even care." Finally when all the committees were approved, he told Garvin, "I hope they do a good job."

The final major piece of business was a proposal to re-organize the ICC. Ray Daniel, at Steve Miller's request, was the spokesman. The proposal was that the current ICC operation be disbanded. In it's place, an "Administrative Council of nine members, including the present ASG vice- president, 1"'0'1ld\ hP- formed.'' According to Daniel, the proposal has the enthusiastic approval of all the members who were present at the last ICC meeting. Ritter made a counter proposal that the nine selected would be as a sub-committee of the Assembly. Picking up where Daniel left off last week, Higdon leveled another blast at the Assembly. Bemoaning the lack of representatives, attending both the Administrative Council and Board of Governors meetings, Higdon said, "If you are going to be a representative of the people on campus, you should be representative at these meetings." With that, the meeting was adjourned.
'Big brother program started by Circle K Members of the Circle 'K' Club, the Kiwanis sponsored service club, are presently engaged in a service project in co-operation with the Escondido branch of YMCA, Young Men's Christian Association. The project is similar to the nationwide "Big )3rother" campaign launched back in 1964. The Circle 'K' members will be big brothers for fatherless children in the Escondido area for eight to ten year-olds. They will continue this project the entire year.

INDIANS RIPPED OFF
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
J
'Survival threat' By John Adams John Adams, an environmental lawye r, is Director of the Natural Resources Defense Council, working with the Black Mesa Defense Fund (107 Cienega Street, Santa Fe , N.M. 87501). "It is prophesie d," warns Hopi Indian David Monongye, ''that the Indi ans will have their land s confiscated or ruined, by fo r ces or lies , and that the Hopi Indians would be the last to go. When this happe ns, no one will survive." Primitive babble? Perhaps . But the Hopi believe the ir la nd is the spiritual center of the ear th, and when it is destroyed, the destruction of hum anity will follow. Fo r over 800 yea r s, the Hopi have lived on the Black Mesa in Ari zona and New Mexico. One of the vill ages , Oraibi, is claimed by some hi storians to be the oldest continuousl y- inhabited village in No rth Am e rica. The Hopi have survived on this arid hostile l and through careful observan ce of the natural ecological balance. Their way of life is found ed on the belief that the land was given to them by the Great Spirit to be protected a nd held in trust. To preserve the fr agile balance one must take from the earth no more than can be r etu rned. Bureau imposes c ha rter The Hopi settled in autonomous villages guid ed by vill age chiefta ins called ' 'Kikmongwi. '' T here was no central governing authority representing the tribe until 1936. At that time a constitution was imposed on the tribe by the Bureau of Indi an Affairs. Although a minori ty of the Hopi, called " progressives,'' accepted the constitution, the traditional Hopi refused to ack nowle dge it because of their tribal beliefs. A Tribal Council was, none theless , ins tituted with the powe r "to prevent the sale, disposition, lease or e ncumbrance of tribal lands ." But many traditional Hopi are not represented on the Council, because they r efuse to e lect members a nd prefer, instead, to continue with the Kikmongwi as their leaders . Population threate ns culture Tradi tiona! Hopi life and culture were immediately threatened when the mushrooming population of western America demanded more e lec tri c power. The Black Mesa hold s an es timated 16 billion tons of coal. Not su rprisingl y, in 19 66 , a strip-mining lease was negotiated with the Hopi Tribal Council and the Departm e nt of the Inte rior by ' Peabody Coal Company. Now a 23-company consortium (Western Energy Supply and Transmis s ion Associates ) plans six major c oal-fire d e lectrical generating plants in the a r ea. The Native American Rights Fund of Boulde r, Colorado has filed a lawsuit on behalf of 63 trad iti onal Hopi Indians against Peabody Coal and Rogers C. B.
Far from protecting the Indians, the Inte rior Departm ent approved the strip mining lease negotiated by the unrepresentative Hop i Tribal Counc il: Of the 18 seats on the Counc il, 7 representing tr aditional villages were unfilled . (At no time were the Kikmo ngwi of these villages cons ulted or notified of the pending lease.) Of the remaining ll seats , only 6 had been ce rtified in accordance with the triba l constitution. Apart fo rm these technicalities, an ecological disaster may be in the making. The strip-mining will cover 64 ,000 acres . Roads necessar y fo r s uch mining in some places s tre tc h 300 feet wide. These scars will be permanent, because the arid la nd, desert and semidesert, is a lmost as vulnerable and s low to heal as tundra. The F our Corne r s Plant, the first c ompleted , s pews out 300 tons of particulate matter daily--more than all the industrial pollute rs of New York a nd Los Ange le s combined. Pipeline provid es outlet Mohave Power Plant will be supplied by a 275 mile pipe line through which "slurry" (half pulverized coal, half water) will be pumped, r equiring from 2,0 00 to 4,500 gallons of water per minute. The water will be drawn fr om deep wells at Black Mesa, but nobody knows what 89 ,204,500,000 gallons over 35-year period will do to the water table of the region . In return for this plunde r and waste, the Hopi will rece ive $14. 5 mill ion over a 35-yea r pe riod; while Peab ody Coal takes in $750 million-- approximately 90% of the purchase price. This lopsided deal will rupture the e ntire ethic upon which Hopi life is based . Black Mesa will be ripped apart, the water drained, and the air polluted . Ar e not the doomsday pre dictions of the Hopi simply a plea that man is pa rt of nature , and must live within its bounds?

I Letters to the Editor I Dear Editor: Our new s peed bumps were installed to r educ e speed on the pe riphery road. They a re effective in accomplishing this , a nd are therefore promoting safety. They are also a nuisance -- prim a ril y because so many slow down t o a stop to cross them. Howeve r, if you s low down too much, springs a nd shock absorbers don't get a chance to absorb the jolt, and they are worse than at high speeds. After an extensive expe rimentation, I have determined the optimum speeds for several vehicles: Pickup Truck, 23 MPH; VW Bus, 19 MPH; P e ugeot bike, 6 MPH. Since 15 MPH is the campus speed limit, that's the best speed (except for the bike... I'm told that backwards is best for skate boards). Avoid cross ing them at an angle, s ince that's much more likely to cause front- end misa lignment (or a bicycle wreck). Sincerely, William L. Bedford

*** Dear Editor: During the past few weeks a one page information sheet called THE PACIFIST has appeared on the bulletin John Glenn, next to the Bookstore. the author, puts several long hours into the writing of it each week, posting it in one small corner of the bulletin board. It has been my impression that the bulletin boards around campus are for fr eedom of speec h, no matter how manifested, with the exception of obscenity . However someone fe lt compelled to rip down the weekly s heet and thus denying Jo hn his freedom of expr ess ion. The papers carried a date on them and we r e taken down weekly. If the person who carried out this act of vandalism wanted to post a notice why didn't he , s he or it take down one of the multitude that had been up since Septem ber? Many papers are faded, yellow, a nd torn, whereas THE PACIFI ST was fresh and placed on cardboard backing. That s uc h a thing s hould happen on a college cam pus is appalling. Of couse thi s act just points out what is being at many of the other county c oll eges -- Palomar is one of the best High Schools in S.D. c ounty. Terry Hill
