Chamber Singers in concert Sunday Palomar College's Chorale of 45 voices and the College Chamber Singers with 24 voices, will be presented in "A Concert of Four Glorias," at 3 p.m. Sunday, at Mission San Luis Rey. The choral groups will be accompanied by a profess ional symphony orchestra from the Musicians Association of San Diego, most of them members of the San Diego Symphony. Joe Stanford, chairman of the Music Department, is conductor. Jam es Hoffm an, general manager of the San Diego Symphony Orchestra, has se lected the orchestra personnel who will play for the program . Stanford, in his sixth year on the college music faculty, founded the Chamber Singers when he first came to the college, and organized the Palomar Chorale las t September. The latter group is making its first public appearance in thi s concert. Stanford said the program is composed of four musical compositions on the ancient Latin text, "Gloria in Excelsis Deo. '' The works to be pe rform ed are Palestrina "Gloria" from "Missa Iste Confessor;" Monteverdi "Gloria Concertata;" Vivaldi "Gloria," and Poulenc "Gloria." "All the composititons will be performed in Latin in order to maintain the beauty of the melody-text relations hip," Stanford said . "An English trans lation will be provided for the listeners.'' Stanford said, "JaDene Dugas, an e mploye of Palomar College, will sing the soprano solo in the Poulenc 'Gloria , ' a work that is quite demanding and for which her voice is espec ia ll y well suited. She has appeared in many musical prociuctions in the North County. " Other soloists inc lude DeLynn Ketchersicie, Sheran Gallipeau, Mary Thomas, and Tina Boyer, sopranos; Steve Phelps, bass; Gle n Smith, Larry Manley, and Jim Hoier, tenors. Stanford pointed out that the histor-
ically-noted Mission San Luis Rey, an important North County cultural center, "is especially appropriate to the music being performed on this program. The acoustical nature of the sanctuary is like that of a cathedral in that the sound r eve rberates in the room after the tone has stopped." Accompanists who have assisted in the preparation for the concert include Mildred Nydegger, piano and music literature instructor, and James Weld, also on the music faculty at the college; Camille Armstrong, and Victor Peiffer. The public is invited to attend the concert and there is no admission charge.
Quentin Keynes, world traveler, explorer and cameraman, will be presented in a lecture and film commentary at Palomar College, room P-32, at 8 p.m . January 17. He will show the motion picture, "The Zambezi, I Presume," which he produced while retracing the route of Dr. David Livingstone in the second of his three great expeditions in Africa, 100 years ago, to explore the meandering Zambezi. Keyne's travel film begins at Livingstone's birthplace in Scotland, proceeds to Africa, includes amazi ng views of Victoria Falls, Livingstone's greatest discovery, and portrays other outstanding scenes and seldom-photographed places and people in that continent.
Proposal made for auditorium Hopes have been reborn for a North County Theater Arts auditorium to be built on land provided by Palomar. As qutlined r ecently by Dr. Frederick R. Huber, president ofPalomar, the project would be funded via a joint powers procedure which directs monies towards recreational activities. A small amount of funds would be assessed by each of the school districts and communities involved through this m ethod. An investiga tion of the possibilities of building such a facility was approved by the college trustees. Mentioned as probable r evenue sources for the project were Palomar Foundation, the Greater San Luis Rey Planning and Development Council and certain community members who have helped in past attempts at this proj ect. Since there are some unincorporated areas wi thing the Palomar district, their lack of taxing ability could force intervention from San Diego County.
The lecturer, a great-grandson of Charles Darwin, was born in London and educated in both England and the United States. Constant travels have taken him throughout this country, Europe, Asia and Africa . He has given his programs of films and commentary before many leading universities and societies, including the National Geographic Society, Washington; Harvard Club, Boston; Academy of Science, Philadelphia; New York Zoological Society; New York Museum of Natural History; Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh; Eton College, England, and Oxford University Exploration Club. The program is one in a series sponsored by the college Community Services Department, and is open to the public without charge .

1984 SOONER THAN YOU MAY THINK
Computers can create confusion By Guy Kennedy "Did you want something, George?" "Ah yes, HAL. Why did you decide that the Ace Grocery Company needs two more workers to handle six less crates of Avocados?" "Is that all, George?" "Well, no. You also dete rmined that Popskisies' Chicken Ranch needed 400 more hens to justify the new he lp it put on ?" "Well, George, you feci m e information as follows ... " This might well be the verbalized conversation between one of the Re gional Occupational Program c ompute r students having a rap session with HAL, the ne w IBM ll30 compute r system in room A-73, the Palomar computer cente r. This new unit not only works out a solution for the problem, but can justify its answer to the curious. "This new unit more than doubles the data processing anci training capabilities of the ROP computer programing course at Palomar," Dean Walter Brown, vocational training department head, said recently . "The course, itself, is ta ilored to enable the student to obtain employment as a computer technician within two semesters, one year of study at Palomar." "In this course, " Tom Dolan, day instructor for the program, explained '•we give the student an e ntire year of in-hand work with the computer. This not only entails programming, but also key punching and problem solving." We end up with an individual well trained for his role, not just a simple programmer. "The program is directed toward business and related functions . Though some of It is applicable to science and industry. But the big emphasis Is on business, large, small and In-between. Through a survey it was determined that some fifty jobs a day go unfilled in Southern California in the business segment of the economy, simply due to lack of qualified appliQants,'' Dolan explained enthusias-
tically. "The systems and languages we teach here will e nable the student to apply for these jobs, without reservations of undue considerations. "This course is the direct result of many long hours of thought and planning by Dean Brown and myself. We collected information and data from many sources, analyzed, and determined what we should teach here that would be the most beneficial for the students. And
then we would start the whole process over again to make sure that we had eliminated anything superfluous. "We had to justify each and every item before obtaining funds for this course," Dolan said, minimizing his part in setting up the program . "The end result was a tough, lean course funded by the county through ROP and the vocational departm e nt and administered by Dean Coutts." (Continued on page 3)

Graphic arts • displayed ID media prints A display of 54 prints, representing a cross-section of varied styles and media in this country, Europe and South America , makes up the January show at Dwight Boehm Gallery. The exhibit, published by the International Graphic Arts Society in 1967, 1968 and 1969, is currently touring the nation under auspices of the Smithsonian Institution. "Through its juries in American and Europe, the International Graphic Arts Society eac h year selects and publishes 35 to 40 new works by leading graphic artists," said Russell Baldwin, director of the college gallery. "Members of this non-profit s ociety are able to purchase prints from the society's limite d editons. Through such distribution the society works to foster the development of the fine arts in the graphics fields and to increase the appreciation, knowled ge and understanding of such art." Baldwin said the current exhibition presents a balanced selection ranging from realistic and traditional to abstract and expressionist forms, in an attempt to present examples of the varied styles in the United States and abroad.

The gallery, open to the public without charge, will observe exhibit hours during January of 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8 to 5 Friday, and 10 to 2 Saturday.
NEWS BRIEFS Introduction to Archeology, a new course being offered in the spring, is listed in the schedule as having two hours of outside work per week. This is misleading, as the extra time will be applied to one or more voluntary field trips during the semester. Several projects are being·consid ered: a site survey of the pictographs and petroglyphs seen in the Rancho Bernardo area; excavation of a shell midden on soon-to-be-developed land near the coast; or a site survey of the Batiquitos Lagoon area in conjunction with an open-space study.
**** A new campus organization, the Craftsmen's Coalition, is presently forming. There will be a meeting Wednesday, January 19, at ll a.m. in P-1. The objectives of the new club will be to demonstrate, teach and renew the practice of ancient and modern crafts, and to offer the products for sale on campus at regular intervals. Interested persons unable to attend may call 746-0127 evenings.

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
STUDENTS RETURN FROM BAJA
Successful venture experienced by all By Aleta Dirdo Good companions, able directors, experienced crewmen and careful planning were instrumental in making the recent Palomar expedition to Baja California a tremendous success. Well over a year of hard work for Dennis Bostic, Palomar biology instructor, paid off in 30 students leaving the mad Christmas rush week for the exciting adventure awaiting them in the unspoiled regions of Lower California. Leaving to go anywhere at three in the morning may not seem to be the beginning of a very enjoyable vacation but it proved to be a f'">resight of the exciting days yet to come. An 80 foot sport-fishing vessel from the H&M Landing in Pt. Lorna served as a floating hotel for six days and nights. Although the crewmen aboard . were quite accustomed to eccentriC: s portfishermen, the small group of future biologists and vacation vagabond s proved entertaining and amusing to the men. Although whale bones , seashells, jellyfish and dead birds were among the unorthodox additions to the cargo aboard, the crew upheld congeniality and high spirits throughout the entire trip. And here, a special mention should be made for Ed, cook aboard the H&M 80. Tremendous portions of lobster, steak, ham, pork chops and other fantastically prepared delights were served to all aboard. 'LIGHT SHOW' SEEN After the first day of smooth traveling, that night the students were treated to an exotic and mesmerizing light show, compliments of Nature. Tiny dinaflagellate plankton in the water, huge schools of fish and about 10 dolphin, gave a show that might make any 'Light Company' jealous. As the friction from the boat cutting the water and the dolphin racing and playing at the bow aggravated ·the plankton, an almost ethereal glow was emitted , holding the dumbfounded attention and excitement of the onlookers. For some, this was one of the highlights of the entire trip. The second day was spent on the island of San Benito. From 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., the students hiked over the entire island, a distance that seemed (when all blisters were counted) to be 20 miles. But who could describe the excitement of one group corning upon its first elephant seal. As the brute lay on its side basking in the warm sun, oblivious to the homo sapiens, shutters clicked 100 times. Then, as if disturbed by the excited photographers, the beast reared its monstrous head and backed off into the water. Farther down the beach were several rookeries of these animals, complete with dominant bulls and harems. Many opportunities for close-up shots with regular lenses were had and even though the animals were at times known for aggressive behavior, the students were all able to get photographs that will be treasured for some time. The magnificent bird of prey that has been declared almost extinct in this area, the osprey, was counted nine times in one small region of the island. Seeming to thrive in the unpopulated and ·fertile environm ent of Baja, tne osprey has been forced south because of the deadly doses of DDT now in the Southern California area. Besides the variety of mammals and birds found on the island, one group of students was fortunate enough to observe a courting trio of killer whales just off-shore. FISHING VILLAGE VISITED Even though the island abounds in wildlife, a very picturesque fishing village is situated in a small cove on the west shore . A very 'simpatico' ' people, the San Benitans challenged the Americans to a friendly game of volleyball. Playing on a court outlined with abalone shells, the Americans were eas ily beaten,however it was so much fun, a collection was taken at the end of the trip to buy a new volleyball and bicycle pump to send to the people of San Benito. The next day's itinerary was Scammon's Lagoon, breeding ground of the California gray whale. As the boat slowly entered the lagoon, several spouts were sighted in the glassy smooth waters. The weather could not have been better. Several people enjoyed sunbathing while the same day, San Diego County was being drenched. As the boat was anchored off Stoney Island that day, several groups went whale-,watching in smaller Jacque Cousteau "Zodiac" rubber skiffs. In these skiffs, it was possible to ride almost on top of the 'giants of the deep." The thrill felt as one of these leviathans surfaced only a few yards from a tiny skiff cannot be expressed in a written word . Nor can the beauty of
its massive tail fluke as it dived be described. Besides harboring the whales, Scammon's Lagoon al so holds a myriad of fish. Iridescent blue and silver flying fish and a beautiful aqua jellyfish were just two of the samples taken to describe the unbelievable marine biology of the area. NIGHT EXPLORATION One of the islands inside the lagoon, Isla de Piedras (Stoney Island), was explored at night to observe the tide pool activity. Small octupi, black and red sponges, a tiny glow worm and thous ands of various shell creatures were found on that rather unusual island after the tid e was out. Completely si lent, except for the occasional splash or blow of a nearby whale, Stoney Island has the air of an entirely tranquil, unspoiled haven. Quite contradictory to the landform of Stoney, however, was that of the sand dune s and salt marshes on the main land of Scammon's. Towering dunes held special fascination for a few students who enjoyed rolling down them, forgetting the adult world and becoming a child again. The marshes- - a beachcombers paradise and graveyard for a few whales that washed ashore with the tide and stayed when it went out again. Leaving Scammon's, the last day of the expedition was spent on San Martin Island, horne of hundreds of harbor seals. A volcanic island, San Martin was even more different from any of the other islands visited. Spectacular cliffs, deep caves and a looming crater were the aesthetic attractions of the island. Biologically, harbor seals and sea birds interested the students . Although zorne persons became uncomfortably familiar with an unpleasant type of cactus, cholla, beautiful daisys and other colorful vegetation abounded. STUDENTS RETURN After a pleasantly exhausting week, the cook was thoughtful enough to pre pare a special meal of T-bone steaks, and as the expedition entered San Diego Bay, the students of the H&M 80 were looking forward to the time they would again see Baja. Three aboard had spent the past summer in Europe, but all declared they would rather return to Baja this corning summer. Heading the academic voyage, for which both Palomar and UCSD Extension credit was given, were Dennis Bostic, Lester Knapp, marine biology instructor from Palomar, and John Sloan, curator of herpetology from the San Diego Museum of Natural History, who attended the trip as ornithologist. Following is a list of the students aboard the H&M 80: Christie Althouse, Mrs. Lucy Bayne, Nils Benson, Lindsey Biery, Sue Bradley, Debbie Cross, Aleta Dirdo, Sally Edson, Bob Glenn, Shiela Griffin, Helen Houson, Barbara Jaffarian, J. Paul Klaesius, Caroline Jones, Torn Koenig, Bill Matchett, Jim McLaughlin, Charlie Miller, Sandy Mott, John Ottley, JoAnn Painter, Kathryn Paul, Pollyann Perry, Peggy Rowe, Sharon Seaton, Bill Shaw, Paul Snyder, Sherry Thompson, Larry Tonar, Pat Witman and Jeff Jaffarian as professional photographer. A similar trip is planned for January 23. For further information, call H&M Landing at 222-1144. This trip is nonacademic. As one student summed it, "It's been wonder, after wonder, after wonder!"

Letters to the Editor To The Editor: Speed bumps! How can anybody get excited about speed bumps? If the representatives of the student body of a college have nothing better to do than spend their time trying to have speed bumps removed, it's no small wonder that there is so little participation in student government. What is happening to the plans for the day care center? That is an excellent project that would re ally help people, since it would undoubtedly make it easier for many people to resume or continue their education. Perhaps it is time to pursue and consider the relevance of our actions . Shouldn't we spend our time on projects that have somewhat more s ignificance than speed bumps?

**** Dear Editor:
Huber discusses activism Recently a controversy has been simmering among some students concerning the honesty with which members of the faculty and administration are dealing with the student body in general and student government in particular. To find out the reasons for this controversy and whether or not they had solid basis in fact, THE TELESCOPE recently interviewed Dr. Frederick R. Huber, president of Palomar College. Almost from the beginning, the interview took the form of a discussion of student activism on important issues and its seeming lack on campus. Dr. Huber, at first, "would hesitate to make comparisons between student administration last year and this year." When informed of ASG president Robert Garvin's complaint about a lack of opportunities for student participation on important school matters, Dr. Huber refuted this claim. He said that representation on these issues is "no problem at all" if they (the students) ask for it. In fact, he praised Garvin's work saying that Bob "has taken the initiative" on these matters. The other major complaint ai r ed was that of a supposed lack of faculty and administration willingness to consider student ideas. "I don't know of one item," he recalled, "brought to the administration that hasn't been given consid eration." Speaking specifically about the Curriculum Committee which has six student members, Dr. Huber said that "if those six cannot make themselves heard, then there's time for real concern. If they are not representative,

we have no way of knowing.'' Real concern showed on both his face and in his voice, as Dr. Huber was asked about what can be done to improve this difficult situation. This part of the interview became the crux of the matter. After stating that he was not aware of any failure to give complete or factual information on the part of administration members, Dr. Huber surmised that the whole problem "could be on the pa rt of the apathy of the students" who he stated "have plenty of opportunity for input. Any student can get on the Administrative Council age nd a ." The interview ended on an encouraging note with Dr. Huber promising that student ideas "will be heard and a n answer given. I guarantee that."
It appears that our beloved campus abounds with thieves (or pack-rats who have forgotten that when they take one thing they are to replace it with another); In the past month the Counseling Center has "misplaced" more than its fair share of bounty, everything from an electric typewriter to books to personal items (a unique vase that was given to our secretary as a gift). I suppose the next things to go will be pictures of our c hildren. These "rip-offs" are particularly hard to take ·when you consider that the Counseling Center is here for the use and needs of the students. Whether it's catalogs for reference, typewriters for clerical necessities, or vases for aesthic value--the fact remains that our office is for the assisting of students and community members--not a supply house! Because of a general knowledge of psychology, we are aware that some Individuals are in need of money and so must steal to make a living. There are some individuals who take things because they like them and would like to look at it all the time in their home. And then there are the folks who just like to abscond with things because they get a little lift from it. The whole point of our letter is that we'd appreciate our possessions being returned--but we'd also like to make the guilty persons feel a little--no, a lot-crummy. (Though, we know that's not feasible.) Palomar College Counseling Department
Elgible voters are urged to register for '72 ·elections Take advantage of the Constitution! The 18-year-old vote is now legal by ratification of the 26th amendment. Persons 18 to 20 years of age are now able to participate in both national and local elections, however this right is void if registration is overlooked by the new voter. April 13, 1972 is the last day to register to vote in the primary Presidential election on June 6, 1972. Requirements for registration are minimal. A person must be 18 or older by June 6, 1972 and a resident of the state and county for at least 90 days prior to the next election. Dee Crumpton, Palomar student and deputy registrar says no identification is asked of the new voter, only name, address, occupation, height, birthdate, on which side of the street and between which c ross-streets he lives. Following is part of the California election code which may clear any questions regarding residence and the new voter. Sect. 14282 The residence of a person is that place in which his habitation is fixed and to which, whenever he is absent, he has the intention of returning. Sect. 14283 A person does not gain or lose residence solely by reason of his presence at or abse nce from a place while employed in the service of the U. S.A. or of this state, nor while engaged in navigation, nor while a student of any instituion of learning, nor while kept in an alms house, asylum or prison. This section shall not be construed to prevent a student at an institution of learning from qualifying as an elector in the locality where he resides while attending the institution, when in fact the student has abandoned his former residence. Sect. 14284 A person who leaves his home to go into another state or precinct in this state for tempora:ty pur-
poses merely, without the intention of making that precinct his horne. Sect. 14285 A person does not gain a residence in any precinct into which he comes for temporary purposes, merely, without the intention of making that precinct his home. Sect. 14290 The residence of the husband shall not be presumed to be that of the wife, but the wife's residence s hall be determined ind ependently.

Medical, legal shorthand courses given this spring Courses in medical and legal shorthand will be offe red in the spring semester, according to Thomas R. Humphrey, chairman of the business department. The two one- semester courses will be open for registration from 6 to 9 p.m., January ll-13 and from January 17-20. The medical shorthand course will provide training in medical dictation and transcription, pronunciation and definition of most-used medical words for preparation of medical records used in hospitals, doctor's offices and medical clinics, Humphrey said . Prerequisites are intermediate typing or 50 words per minute, and advanced shorthand or 100 words a minute. Hum phrey said it is also recommended that the student had enrolled in medical terminology and medical anatomy courses, but if the prerequisites are not met, students in some cases may be enrolled with permission of the instructor. The medical shorthand c lasses will meet Thursday evenings from 7 to 10 p.m. beginning February 3. The legal s horthand course is planned for the training of students in that field of work, including development of knowledge and skill in legal dictation, and definition of legal terms for preparation of records used in law offices and courtrooms. Prerequisite includes satisfactory Director Joe Stanford rehearses Palom ar College singers for "A Concert
of Four Glorias" to be presented at 3 p.m . Sunday, January 16, at Mission
Amendments amended By Dave Fetzer Rumored fireworks did not materialize at this week's brief Student Assembly meeting. After Dave Carver was approved as temporary chairman, president Robert Garvin welcomed "any ideas" on when the next ASG elections would be held. Garvin himself suggested the end of the ·second fu ll week of classes, Thursday and Friday, of the spring semester. Treasurer Terri Miles suggested that someone be stationed at the ASG activity cards table, if the proposal was accepted to apprise new students of these elections. Dean Robert Bowman then wondered aloud just who these card sellers would be and how the whole thing would be handled. Garvin then suggested either, because of finals, "dispensing with the motion because it would be impractical" or carrying out the action between finals. Finally, c hairman Carver amended the motion so that a sign would be promine ntly placed telling new students where the election information was available. With this ame ndm ent attac hed, the motion passed. The next ord e r of bus iness was the expandi ng of the chairman's term to one year, which involved amending the ASG constitution. Parliamentarian John Higdon interjected a ruling stating that a two-thirds vote of both the assembly and the Executive council was nece-
ssary to pass a n ame ndm ent. So stated, men's select Andrew Pentaleri then moved that the constitution be ame nde d to make the chaiman's te rm one year. Problems arose when representative Becky Green amended the amendment to have the chairman elected by the student body. Surprisingly, it was chairman Carver who disagreed with this motion for student body election on the grounds of pos sible hostilities arising among the elected individuals. Dean Bowman disagreed pointing out the possibility of the assembly members and the president being hostile to each other. As he put it , "what's the difference?" The am endment to the motion was defeated. As the vote on his original motion drew near, Pentaleri warned that there would be t he "same objections to that (one year term) as before." A note of mock humor was added as Dean Bowman grumped, "I'd like to see a motion to dissolve the Student Assem bly." Pentaleri' s motion was then soundly defeated . Garvin noted that the defeat of the motion would "leave the situation as it now exists." T hen turning to Dean Bowman, he asked with a slight note of sarcasm, "Do you wish to contribute something constructi ve as Dr. Huber's distinguished representative? " Dean Bowman did not. Thus, with the simultaneous arrival of representative John Glenn, the meeting was ad journed.
Mrs. Jenkins retires Her pet peeve was Thanksgiving when she had to carve the turkey, but she did it for 17 years . Mrs . Linda Jenkins, known for her smiling face while s he served lunch to you in the cafeteria, retired last month. Mrs. Jenkins, who worked for Palomar since 1955, retired to join her husband who also has just retired. "Linda 's co-workers think the world of her and hate to see her go,'' said Mrs. Gertrude Coulter, head of the cafeteria. "Besides being what everyone called her,
'the pillar of the kitche n, ' s he was a great person off- work, too.'' She has been considered by co- workers as a loyal servant of the school and was a charter member of Palomar Patrons. "I've watched the 'College grow from 250 students to 7, 000 and every year they've all been a gre at bunch of kids," reminisces Mrs. Jenkins. She enjoys the trailer life, and will spend her time golfing, fishing and just being with her family . "We'll all miss her."

CHECK THIS OUT! The Fuller Brush Co. is looking for people who want to join the dynamic field of person to person sales.
Under the leadership of ASG President Bob Garvin, the battle against the speed bumps is heading into "Phase II.,' A motion was proposed at last week's Admi nistrative Council meeting to approve the proposed replacement of the bumps with "rumble strips." The motion was approved and such a recommendation is being sent in letter form to the Board of Governo rs, who next meet this coming Tuesday night. According to Garvin , the "motion was only a recommendation.'' He refrained from speculating as to whether approval was forthcoming from the board. Garvin said that with the speed bump action , along with the probabilities of a Day Care center and -more s tudent representation on various boards, he felt hi s administration would be "handing them (the next administration) a better program' ' to work with.

Field hockey team ties Cal Western With pert noses wincing as they strained for oxygen, feminine Comet field hockey players held off a Cal Western second half rally last Thursday to gain a tie. An early lead was taken by Palomar's team during the first half as Marie Anne Perrault and Marilyn Uhland scored a point each. A late rally by Cal Western, however, evened up the game when Betty Durkan scored two points . A small and vociferous partisan crowd braved cool crispy weather to cheer on the stick- wielding bevy of beauties as they chased each other across the Comet field. One local player, Julee Lebouef, suffered an injured thumb during one of their heated drives.

Spikemen run first track meet An inter-squad track meet was held yesterday to help determine how the team looks this early in the season. It was a handicap-trophy meet. To win the trophy, you had to improve over your best mark of the last track season. This meet will also help decide who will be running in the indoor meet at the San Diego Sports Arena later on this month. Entries for the indoor meet will include the best four-440 yard dash men for the mile relay, and the best four 880 yard run men for the medley. Some of the field event men will also be competing. Ron Palcic will run the open mile, for this meet and maybe Barry Houchin will compete in the triple jump, and Rich Hunt possibly in the 60 yard dash. Entries for yesterday 's meet were the 100 yard dash, the 330 yard dasn, the 440 yard intermediate hurdles, the mile, the three mile, 180 yard high hurdles, and the 880 yard run.

LED TEAM TO FOURTH IN U.S.
Hobby leads afcher to prominence By George Salinas Legend has it that Robin Hood exclaimed, "I'd ride a hundred miles to see a man who could match anyone of you in archery," as he observed three of his men individually drop a deer. A Palomar student who can perform similar feats, plus travel longer distances to see a good archery match, is George Plocic of Vista. In an interview at his ranch this avid middle-aged archer talked about his colorful past and his favorite hobbies. "During the mid 30's my folks and I came to New York from the Dalmatian coast of Yugoslavia. Unemployment was very severe during those crucial days of my life but we managed tQ_pull through somehow.

Memories of those lean and hard tim es came to a close for Plocic when he volunteered for duty in the Navy during the fall of 1940. The ensuing six years were spent in such places as the South Pacific, South Atlantic, the Caribbean. Sea and also in North Africa. "By the time I joined the Navy," Plocic recalled smiling, "My interest in archery had increased so much that I carried a take-down bow with me during my hitch with Uncle Sam." After leaving the service to start life anew he returned to Long Island, New York. It was here where he was to become one of 20 civilian employees at Lockheed International who had official clearance to service and provid e maintenance on the presidential airplanes of Eisenhower and Truman. During the last visit of the Russian Premier Kruschev to the U.S. and at the request of the Russian Government the U. S. presidential air crew met the Russian jet when it landed. Plocic was on duty at that time. "As Kruschev stepped off the plane everyone was ill at ease," Plocic recalled. "there were soldiers and guards everywhere. When he waved a greeting, a stony silence followed. I was standing on a tow truck when he happened to gaze my so I waved at him. He smiled and waved right back," he remarked grinning. "That broke the spell and the people started to cheer and wave. I don't know why my employers objected to this, but I had to work three days without pay for it. It was worth it though. I felt that since our state department had invited him to visit our country, he was our guest--standing on our doorstep." Not satisfied with the east coast way of life Plocic and his wife Faye headed to California where he began a new career as an owner of a chicken ranch in the outskirts of Vista. "The urban sprawl finally caught up with us," Plocic explained pointing to the nearby housing developments. •Taxes and a re-zoning of my property finally made it impractical for me to continue the egg business. I'm now employed by a real estate agency." His intense love for the sport of archery was evident everywhere. A worn practice target could be seen in the backyard. In his home and den trophies were displayed along with the mounted game that he has hunted. The impressive display included most of the equipment that Plocic has designed and
built since the early '40's. Relaxing amidst the tools of his favorite hobby, he spoke about some ofthe factors that brought him and his team mates to national prominence last year when he was selected All-American and Palomar placed fourth in the country in a national tournament in Arizona. "We have been very fortunate to get some trem endous archers out here," he began . 'It takes a lot of pain, long hard practice hours and a lot of dedication to really excel in the sport. Palomar All-American selectees Terry Gibson, Dan White and Jim Crafts are all examples of some of the better archers found anywhere. All of them are capable of going on to higher achievements in this sport, whose interest has began to mount because of its inclusion in the next Olympiad." Searching for an explanation to shed light on the sudden popularity of archery, he pointed out that "Coaches all over the United States and the world have brought this backyard preoccupation of a few into the forefront of the international scene. They have made many personal sacrifices in training archers and bringing this sport to the public's attention. Not much has-been said about them," he declared. "They deserve much more." With the Olympic Games in Munich on his mind he apologetically spoke about his prospects for participating in the Olympics. "Under our system of trying out for the Olympics, the amateur must bear the burden of all the living expenses. As I see it, the sum total of expenses could run as high as $8,000. That is, unless a sponsor can be secured. Because of economic problems I'm facing at home, my chances of competing in the Olympics are very slim." The affable archer has made himself an asset to the new varsity team. He had these words to say about the members of the team. "It amazes me to see young adults participate in this demanding sport and still be able to maintain good grades. It takes at least 25 hours of practice each week on concentration, mental drill and perfection of form." Plocic summarized his outlook on life as he got up to so some last minute chores around the house before darkness set in. "In order to get ahead in this world or get anything accomplished, you must give of yourself to your fellowman."
Palomar's first swimming team was formed last week. Coach Dan Hubbard was greeted by 12 prospects. According to college rules, you are allowed only 18 swimmers and divers during a meet. Hubbard coached his water polo team to second place in the Mission Conference this fall. Four of his 16 man water polo team have returned for swimming. They are: Jim Frasier, a freshman who came over with coach Hubbard, will be swimming the sprints; l\Iark Couglar, a freshman from Fallbrook, will swim the sprints also; Bill Jones, a sophomore, is also a sprinter and is in the backstroke; and Bill Laird, a sophomore, is a diver. Other team prospects include, Tim Hauff, in the backs troke;Tom Silsby, a freshman from Orange Glen, will swim the butterfly; Brian Flowers, also from Orange Glen, will be in the sprints; Dennis Stonfer, swimming the distances for Palomar; Bob Turner will dive, Bob Dosck will swim the butterfly and Mike Bardick, a fres hman from Poway, will swim the breaststroke. Harry Peterson, a freshman from Vista, will join the team at the semes ter after this one after finishing a semester at a university in Boston, Mass. Peterson made all-league in water polo there, and was a strong swimmer for Vista last yea r . The longest swimming event is the 1,000 meter swim. Other distant races inc lud e the 500 meter a nd the 200 meter. Other events include the medley r e lay, which include the backstroke, breaststroke and free-style. The freestyle r elay consists of four men doing 100 meters each. The aqua-Comets will have a busy season, opening with a meet against Los Angeles Harbor, February 4, at Palomar. Grossmont College is heavily favored to win the conference again this year with over 15 returning lettermen and many incoming freshmen.
Coach Curran selected for Rotary tour Michael A. Curran, instructor of physical education, health education, Cross country coach, and assistant track coach, will leave February 1 as a member of a six-man study team to tour Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, under the Rotary Club auspices. Curran was selected by a Rotary Club district selection committee from 26 applications for the tour. The two-month tour will include visits to businesses, industries, and Rotary Clubs, with the members of the tour party to be guests in the homes of Asian Rotarians in various cities on the schedule. The all expense-paid Rotary tours are conducted by the service organization as a means of promoting international good will and understanding. Curran will miss the first half of the track season , but should be back to finish off the season. Randy Hartman will serve as assistant track coach when Curran is on the tour. Curran is a graduate of Mt. San Antonio Junior College, and California Polytechnic Institute, where he won an "outstanding student" award In health education.
