Stull covers local, national issues in talk Interested spectators and members of Mr. Duncan McGilvray's Political Science 10 and 100 classes got an out-of-the ordinary civics lesson recently. Instead, of a regular teacher lecture, Mr. McGilvray's two classes combined to listen to and question Eightieth District Assemblyman John Stull. Since this is an election year and the ass emblyman faces competition directly from the campus, issues dominated both his talk and the question and answer session which followed. Uppermost in the assemblyman's mind during the speech was the long assembly session just completed with special attention to the problems of re-districting. Stull opened by calling the session a "horrible waste of taxpayers' money." He proceeded to describe the debate over r e-districting a "head-butting situation. " Students leaned from the assemblyman that the "unwritten guideline" in redistricting is to "protect the incumbents." The one example Stull cited was the Sixty-ninth District now held by Democrat Kenneth Cory. Stull described the new map of the district (in Orange County) as looking "like a jagged swastika." After further comment on the problems of the last session, the floor was opened to questions and answers. Following are excerpts from the assemblyman's answers on various issues. Oil depletion allowance: Stull voted to cut the allowance from 27 to 15%. Watson Property Tax Amendment: "Horrible loopholes, although it is very attractive to the property tax payer." Stull cited Legislative Analyst A. Alan Post's assertion that $700 million to $1.4 billion would have to be raised in replacement revenue if the amendment is adopted. VD education: For, "provided the parents are invloved." Stull voted for the newly amended version of the Fong VD bill, which was vetoed last year by Governor Reagan. Pollution taxes: "In favor of doing what is necessary. Everybody involved should be taxed • . . Should look at the polluter . . . Not convinced that the oil companies should get it entirely." Clean Environment Act: ''Will ruin the economy of California .. . The state would go bankrupt in five years." Capital p'u nishment: The assemblyman said he is in favor of overturning the state supreme court's decision, calling capital punishment a "deterrent to crime.'' Marijuana legalization: Stull is opposed; however, he did say he was infavor of lowering the drinking age to 18. In his words, "It's silly to give the responsibilities of an adult and then say you can't drink." Stull called the stand unpopular in the district. No-fault auto insurance: Opening by saying he was "not evading the issue," Stull said he has had second thoughts since voting for such a plan last year. All present, including ASG president Robert Garvin, received the assemblyman's remarks in a rather quiet manner. Polite applaus followed the speech with several people, Garvin included, staying on to talk with the assemblyman personally.

Work-study program gets additional funds Palomar has just been approved to receive an additional $20,000 in Federal College Work-Study funds. These funds will have to be utilized by June 30. This program is designed to promote the part-time employment of students from low-income families who are in need of earnings from such employment to stay in school. Students coming from families whose gross income is $9,000 or lells would probably be eligible for such assistance. Students may wo:rk up to 15 hours per we~k at $180 per hour.

Honeywell Institute offers scholarship Students planning on careers in data processing can compete for 10 full scholarships being offered by the Honeywell Institute of Information Sciences.

Joint ASG meeting discusses Craftsmen Coalition, Open House How to handle the upcoming Open House and the trials and tribulations of the Craftsmen's Coalition were the main topics at the joint meeting of the Student Assembly and Executive Council. President Robert Garvin kicked off the Open House discussion by noting that the administration had suggested that the student body leaders take over the organization of the event. After chairman John Glenn described the organization as sounding "scary", representative Mike Loutzenhiser moved

that the assembly and council members assist, but not totally run the Open House. The motion was passed. No date has as yet been set for the event. Doug Ward, president of the Craftsmen's Coalition, a new club on campus, opened discussion on the second issue. Ward asked that the joint bodies approve of club members selling their own handmade items on campus. Things seemed to be. moving smoothly for Doug when repr esentative Skip Panthen moved for approval.

Completing its two-week run this weekend is the drama department's production of ''Lion in Winter''. Curtain will rise in P-33 at 7:30p.m. for tonight and tomorrow ·night. Tickets are $.50 for students and $1 for adults. The play itself is an historical account of the political maneuvering of the French and English kings in 1183. It also involves the conflicts of Henry and wife Eleanor as to the heir of the throne. Eleanor wants her son Richard, and Henry wants thier son John to succeed him. The play evolves around these conflicts. Although the people in the play and their characters are consistent with the facts, they remain ficticious. The play contains anachronisms in speech, thought, and custom, which couldn't be historically traced, but add flavor and authenticity to the procuction. Commenting on the tec hnical side of the production Norm Gaskins, technical director, declared the most difficult part was finding a Christmas tree in the middle of March. He further explianed other problems involving the technical crew. ''Due to lack of facility scene changes are very awkward. Garth Warner, assistant technical director and Ed Molthen have done wonders with scene changes. We have the scene changes timed to 41/ 2 minutes. This is quite remarkable because of the many props, plugs, etc, Also some flats must be latched and wing set, unit set and shutter set put inplace. Later, some of the scenes must be duplicated because the props can't be left on stage." ''There are six actual scene changes. The sets include scenes of Henry's bedroom , the wine cellar, King Phillip's room, Eleanor's room, Alais' room and the great hall," Gaskins · described the scenes. ''Only a couple of flats are mobile and this change is achieved by ussing different drapery on the sets that are constant." Cast members include: Buddy Ashbrook, Henry II; Jill Moore, Eleanor; Thad Geer, Richard Lionhearted ; John Higdon, Geoffrey; Steve Phelps, John; John Sowell, King Phillip and Kim Eckert, Alais. ''The cast has done a great job in interpreting the play," Gaskins praised.

"The cast members have all had previous training and every character is as strong as the next," Ashbrook, director added. Members of the production staff include Skip Kanester, Garth Warner, Obie O'Brien, Lynne King, Anne Hegrat, Cathy Bronson, Ann Hamilton, Kara Carlton, and Ellen Hexom. Special art work was done by Nick Petrosino.

ICC sponsors ~Pleasure Fair' Kissing booths, craft exhibitions and demonstrations, and penny-pitching will possibly be included in a "Fair for all seasons" tenatively set for May 12 and 13. The fair, originally called the Renaissance Fair, is sponsored by the Interclub Council (ICC) which met Wednesday to consider plans for the activity. Possibilities for events included three l egged races, apple bobbing, and kite flying contests. This would also provide the atmosphere of a country picnic. The Craftsmen Coalition representative introduced the suggestion of having a Renaissance preservation society from San Diego State come to the fair to demonstrate jousting and other knightly activities. A committee was appointed to look into the matter. The Democratic Club, the Business Club have expressed a desire to particilte according to the council. "Community involvement is the key," commented Steve Miller, president of the ICC. "Thats the only way the clubs are going to show a profit." It was also decided to have the name reflect this community involvement theme and the original title of the fair was added to. "Pleasure-fair and Fun fest" were also adopted by the council as sub-titles. Committees were appointed to investigate the production of the fair and were ordered to report back to the council following Easter Vacation.

QASS TEACHES HOW NOT TO GET HURT

Police Science teaches defense tactics at night by Leeayn Chapman "Pain is a mental thing. you have to make them believe they have come to their own breaking point when they haven't. Their own emotions have conquered their mind .~ So stresses the instructor of a police science class, Defense Tactics, John Reeve. The class, held on Tuesday nights for two hours is probably one of the most unusual classes on campus. Nine men, ranging in all sizes, and four women, all of them petite, no women's liberationists, attended this class. The strenuousness of the class doesn't build up gradually, it starts immediatly. The first 20 minutes of class are exercises consisting of running inplace, falling to the floor doing various types of pushups, backstretching exercises, sit-ups, and others that almost defy description. Then comes tumbling practice, using the types of falls you would use if you were being knocked down or thrown. After everyone does these around a wrestling mat twice comes time for students to hurl themselves over a crouched instructor. The ensuing thuds and crashes from these sounded like they should be registering on the Richter scale in Pasadena. To be done properly, the shoulder should be tucked under, but, human fallibility being what it is, some of the students stood up holding their shoulders and shaking their heads. Holds are next on the agenda for this session. The first practiced is used to control a disagree able prisoner; used when a policeman must take someone by force. On this, Reeve stressed control rather than muscle, smoothness more than speed. Also , a variation of this is practiced. .The pressure is applied differently and the resistor is lowered to the ground.

'The object of these holds is to control rather than injure. All of the techniques taught will, at the very worst, pull a tendon. It's the victim's own reactions that will do him any harm. All we do is add pressure in the right direction," Reeve explained. He went on to say that people work from fear. "Most people fighting police are fighting a symbol." Reeve explained that old physics theory, "To every action there is a reaction," in relationship to holds and control. He said that for every move a resistor or attacker makes, there is another move to bring him under control. After a class break, during which this reporter had all the holds shown to her, on her, students came back to a discussion and show of techniques on searching. "All of you, I'm sure, have seen the typical search position on television and in movies, the one up against t he car. or the wall and spread-eagled," said Reeve. "Well, let me tell you that is only used on a very cooperative resistor. • He went on to show how it's done now, stressing the importance of searching in order to keep the officer out of the hospital and the morgue. Due to bad searching procedures, one Highway Patrolman was killed in Oceanside, two killed in Temecula, and others in Newhall. Reeve pointed out that women should be frisked without regard for sex, because "a woman can kill you just as dead as any man can.~ Which, of course, led to the subject of arresting women. The class was reminded that a woman's pain tolerance is higher than a man's, so the same holds used on men are to be used on women, too. Then it is back to· practice, demonstrating how to stop someone from choking--there was one stipulation, how-

ever, a different hold had to be used each time. They practiced this until everyone was both a "choker" and a "chokee. ~ All through the class Reeve makes it a point to remind the class that it was not strength but knowing how to apply pressure that made these holds. "Remember, one of the champions in defense tactics was less than five feet tall and weighed less than 100 pounds."

Why do people take this class ? For the most part, the students are police science majors, including three of the four girls. The fourth? She's in it because her fiancee is. "The ultimate goal here is to make the subject give in without actually touching him. That can be done by making the resistor believe that it would be useless to fight. We don't want to hurt anyone."

many techniques learned in his Tuesday night class. (Photo by Roy Tyler).


Locals in Grossmont tournament; ready lor LA Valley Easter tourney After suffering a 5-0 loss to Southwestern, the local nine has been participating in the Grossmont tournament since Thursday and will play again today and tomorrow. This tournament is more of a practice tourney for the Easter tournaments. Results will be published in the April 7 edition of The Telescope. Next week the baseballers will travel to LA Valley College for an Easter vacation tournament. The locals will participate in the tourney begining Monday with Mark Rickabaugh pitching, Tuesday will see Dana McManus and Wednesday Marc Radlinski. Southwestern's righinanaer Bob Tagye pitched five perfect innings allowing only three hits, walked one and struck out eight. Dave Stacey handled the pitching for the locals. He was a victim of four Comet errors which cost them the game. The locals first hit came in the sixth inning when Jim Cameron lined one off the pitchers leg. He was stranded when no other of his teammates could hit him in. In the seventh inning Mark Leszczynski was also stranded on second base and Don Johnson found himself in the same position in the eighth. "We just can't make all those errors and expect to win. We're a defensive team and if we make that many errors we can't win anything" comment Coach Jim Clayton. Accordding to the latest poll taken by the junior College Baseball Coaches Association the Comets are the tenth ranked team in Southern California. The loss made the locals record 2-2 for the conference and 9-6 overall.

Three Comet pitchers responsible for 9-6 winning baseball season After just 15 games, the success of the Comet baseball team's 9-6 record seems to be in the hands of the local's pitching staff. For example, sophomore ace Dennis Thornbury has pitched 41 complete innings and has an earned run average of 0.66! Comparing this to Tom Seaver, the National League's leading pitcher, had a record at 41 1/2 innings of 0. 71, according to statistics from "Information Please Almanac.'' But compared to Jim Palmer, of the Baltimore Orioles, the American League's best ERA, beats him out 0. 62 for a comparable number of innings pitched. For a junior college baseball team that's an exce~lent record. Freshman Dana McManus pitched 37 complete innings and had an ERA of 1.46. Comparing him to Dale Gentry of the New York Mets, his ERA for 37 innings was 1.58. Last of the local starters is sopho-

Members of the Palomar archery team emerged from two back-to-back state tournaments last Friday and Saturday with another string of impressive victories. For the participants from 13 California schools it was a long grueling match to determine who the individual and team champions whould be. From the onset, however, it was Palomar and San Bernardino who fought it out for the leadership. On Friday, when the Ninth Annual Southern California Championships were held, it was Jim Mellinger and Gail Vittitoe who set the pace for the other archers to follow. They finished the tournament with the highest individual scores. After the scores for team positions were computed, the Comets again took the first place positions for the women's and mixed teams. The women's team headed by Vittitoe was composed of Terry Gibson, a former state champion, and Carol Goeppinger. Mellinger, a Marine attending night classes at Palomar, headed the mixed team composed of Rudy Folds, Vittitoe andMiss Gibson. The San Bernardino archers, who were never more than a few points behind the Comets, managed to outscore the ailing flu-ridden Palomar men's team. Despite the difficulties suffered by Folds and Jff Eller the team still placed second in the state-wide competition. On the second day, when the first

California State Collegiate Championships were held, members of the San Berdoo team came back with grim determination and took the team first place positions for that tournament. Mellinger and Vitti toe, however, maintained their lead and ended the tournament at the 1972 California state intercollegiate champions. For both of them the exhaustive two-day ordeal was worth it. Mellinger's state championshp title will be a springboard to the national championshfps wbich will be held in May at San Bernardino. If his timing is right, the Olympic trials will be looming in his future. Other Comet varsity team members who participated in the California State tournaments were Bonnie Bass, Barbara Schettler, Sharon Kilgore, Gerald Cuffe, Gene Hasegawa, Frank Hungate, George Plocic, George Salinas and Mark Sinclair. In a previous encounter on March 9 with Pierce College of Encino the Comets romped over a tough team composed of Jerry Trusty, Kim and Russ Schrotenboer. Undefeated Palomar and state champions San Bernardino will battle it out for the conference championship April 6 on the locals range. San Berdoo is the top team in the state and the local team is number two.

Mennen challenge PantheB today Seeking their fifth straight win today, Coach Don Hubbard's swimmers will host Chaffey in a 3:30 meet. Chaffey's strongest events are the 500 freestyle, 50 freestyle, and the 200 butterfly. Dave Bender will be the Comet entire in the butterfly. This meet will be a battle for second place in the Mission Conference. Tues'day San Bernardino was the latest victim of the locals, losing 88-12. The Comets won all but one event. Dave Bender and Mike Burdick were both double winners. Bender won the 1000 yard freestyle in 12:14.3 and also the 100 yard freestyle in 53.1, just a tenth of a second away from the time needed to qualify for the Southern California Finals at Golden West College. Burdick won the 200 yard backstroke and the 200 freestyle. Mike Silvestri was the most improved swimmer, taking second in the 1000 yard freestyle and winning the 500 freestyle in 6:24.1.

Successful golfers put undefeated record on line today against Griffins Up to par. That's how the Comet golfers are playing again this year. The local linksters go into today's match against Grossmont undefeated in conference play. During a trip to Arizona March 1516 for two non-confere nce matches, the locals beat Imperial Valley and lost to Arizona Western. Medalist Milt Galik led the 49-5 masacre over the Imperial Arabs. Galik's 72 was backed by a 73 by John Morris, 75 by John McDonald and Mike Wildman, a 77 from Jim Kronus, and a 78 from Mike Clark. The next day found a strong fourmao team from Arizona Western taking Palomar for a 30-24 loss. A strong performance was turned in

by McDonald, who shot a 73, but the rest of the team failed to come through. Returning to Conference action Monday, the locals trounced the Saddleback Gauchos 51-3. Moren took medalist honors for the Comets with a 75. This is the thire time this season Moren has taken loVI score honors. Kronus followed through with a 76, Dunvar with 77, Morris took 78, Galik fired a 79, and Wildman shot 80. "We're a very well-balanced team," comments Coach Rusty Myers. "Not many teams can say that. We never know who's going to play in what position. All our men are capable of playing any place." Today's tee-time is I p.m. at the Escondido Country Club.

Spikemen hopeful of eighth straight win today at powerful Chaffey Win number eight won't come easy for the Comet spikers when they travel to Chaffey for a· 3:30 match today.
