Handwriting analysis reveals writer's personal qualities

By Richard Sola Does your personality show in your handwriting?

It sure does. At least this is the belief of Mrs. Alice Holes, instructor of a night extension course, called ''Handwriting Analysis".

Mrs. Holes believes that "a person's handwriting reveals traits, qualities, characteristics, talents, and tendencies," of the writer. However, there are several methods of interpreting a handwriting sample, one of which is psycho-graphology, the method taught in the Wednesday evening class.

According to Mrs. Holes, "This method should not be confused with the currently published books on graphology and character analysis, because these tend to confine the person to two major realms of being: the mental and physical.''

Vets to consider

educational funds Veterans interested in an increase in the education allowance now offered under the GI Bill are invited to attend a meeting which will be held tomorrow in P-16 at ll a.m.

This meeting is being held by the Veterans for Veterans Benefits Committee to discuss the petitioning of the federal government for an increase in education benefits to meet the present living standard.

If you are a veteran, please attend this meeting for information on how, you the individual veteran, can help show that adequate education benefits are needed.

MECHA sponsors dance MECHA members are sponsoring a dance May 13 from 9-1 a.m. at the college dome.

According to Tito Encinas, chairman, the benefits of this dance will be donated to Mrs. Anamaria Herrera of Carlsbad who recently underwent sugery and will soon require a second operation.

Since Mrs. Herrera cannot afford these operations and is not eligible for any type of medical help, MECHA decided to help her with some of the medical expenses.

However, in psycho-graphology "an honest appraisal of ones-self through this method reveals and develops the intuitive faculty." Mrs. Holes goes on to explain that it ''brings the conscious sub-conscious, and para-conscious into harmony and balance."

Confusing? Well, in simple terms, it means that not only do you use many of the proven techniques of the Bunker method of handwriting analysis, but you also call upon your intuition to discover the inner thoughts of the person whose writing is being analyzed.

Psycho-graphology, a system developed over 300 years ago in Europe, also relies heavily on ESP. This method was perfected by Harry Teltscher, a European, and demands a high level and degree of intuition, spirituality, and ESP. Although it sounds extremely complicated, ~rs. Holes says that many of her students became very proficient during the twelve week course. In contrast to the more conventional methods of handwriting analysis, which take many years to learn, psycho-graphology can be learned in a matter of weeks.

1 Of course, many of the lessons of the class are the same as in the Bunker method of graphology. For instance, great emphasis is put, in both methods on the formation of the letters t and i.

The way the stem is formed, if it has a loop .or is a single line, has significance. The height of the stem is also important, as is the slant. The crossing of the t and the dotting of the i are also considered.

In fact, everything about a person's writin~ reflects in some way his personality. This includes margins. A moderately wide margin shows good taste, orderliness, and poise, while a very wide margin almost to the edge of the page, means a very economical person who often crowds himself and others.

Mrs. Holes is certain that psychographology can help everyone in their own daily lives. She feels that you can tell if a person is honest, ill, creative, mentally stable, studious, or a leader.

But probably more important that applying psycho-graphology to your daily life is the attitude that the student receives from Mrs. Holes.

She says, "Mediocrity is self-inflicted: genius is self-bestowed. We are goiug to consciously, deliberately open our ·own inner doors of perception- or ESP- in order to help ourselves and those around us to realize our optimum potenti als . "

"Alienation, manipulation, conflict, resolution!"

A riot, a demonstration ?

No. This is the title of one of the featured dances in the upcoming Palomar Dance Emsemble's concert.

This latest concert, to be he ld May 4, 5, 6 at 8 p.m . in the dance studio, features a cast of ove r 50.

Candi Claudio is featured soloist in the dance, and with 15 other dancers creates the four movements of the symphony--" Alienation; Manipulation; Conflict; Resolution?"

Two major works in the program were choreographed by Palomar students Kim Eckert and Sue Rutherford. Mrs. Eckert did "Collage" and Miss Rutherford did "In Harmony."

Margaret Bailey, Miss Claudio, Carolee Kent, and Tom Holland will be performing in their own compositions.

"Viva Vivaldi," by Miss Hutchings, will be performed again, featuring Arlene Imaizumi and Russ Gandee.

"The Ballet of Cinderella; of Flower Power Conquers All" is a satiric view of the old fairy tale. This dance features Kim Smith and Mrs. Eckert as Cinderella and Gandee and Holland double-cast as the role of the Prince.

A guest artist, Mr. William Hansen of Escondido(who performed with Miss Hutchings at UCLA) will be dancing his own composition, "Black, White, and Shades of Grey."

Admission is $1 for adults and $.50 for children under twelve. There will be no reserved seats.

Ceramic objects on sale next week More than 1,500 ceramic objects, the choice creations of the semester by Palomar College art students, will be on display---and for sale to bargain hunters---at the college May ll, 12 and 13.

~Link'

to debut at spring music fete "Link," an all day piece of contemporary music written by Pauline Oliveros especially for "Realtime," the spring music festival, will be presented on campus Friday.

According to Larry Livingston, music department instructor, "Link" is completely different from normal musical presentations. "The idea is to connect and involve all facets of campus in an all day experiment in interaction. Everyone on campus from students down through administration is invited to participate."

"Link" will be composed of diverse activities, including interviews, pickets, drummers, dancers, ritual sound-makers, water-witches, singers, and many more. ''This piece is for everyone on campus to create the performance by doing," Livingston added.

He stressed that anyone interested in getting involved in "Link" may do so simply by contacting him at his office in C-34.

Livingston stated that one does not have to be an experienced musician to play in this rpiece.

"If you have a special thing that you like to do, this piece can make .use of it."

Upcoming.presentations in the "Realtime" series include an in-person performance by the Freddie Hubbard Quintet Ma~ 14 ·_~nd Igor Stravinsky-' s "Symphony of Psalms," to be presented May 21 by the Palomar Chorale, Concert Choir and Chamber Singers.

Recognition asked for Cinco de Mayo

by vidims as unpreventable

By Leeayn Chapman Here it comes.

Friday will mark the anniversary of one of the most popular yet unrecognized dates in the Southwest.

Cinco de Mayo, which marks Mexico's second independence from foreign domination, is this holiday.

It is popular in the sense that it is celebrated by both Americans and Mexicans in special programs such as the on~ being presented at Sea World and at Olvera Street in Los Angeles. But unrecognized because it continues to be a legally undeclared holiday.

Mexican-Americans celebrate the day locally because it ha& become part of their cultural heritage. Although born in the United States, they retain customs passed on to them at home.

Other people celebrate it because California was once a Mexican province and many of its cultural traditions linger on despite the change of dominance.

In at least one other college and city Cinco de Mayo has been declared a legal holiday.

There are over one million Chicano citizens in the Los Angeles area, and in the North County approximately 16 to 20% are Chicano.

Taking these facts into consideration, I feel that Palomar College should take the initiative to declare Cinco de Mayo a holiday similar to recognition bestowed to St. Patrick's Day. It is time not only this area,. but other counties, recognize our cultural and racial ties with Mexico and the Mexican people. These facts should be recognized because the Chicanos are the only other

J

group of people besides the Indians who are native to this area.

Governor Reagan has finally taken the steps to recognize the Indian population by proclaiming September 27IndianDay. This same step should be taken to make Cinco de Mayo a legal holiday. And in this way inform Californians of the valuable historical and cultural contributions present in the Chicano people. ~

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor: The Cuyamacas--a beautiful, unspoiled mountain area where you can hike, relax, and be totally contained by nature, right?

Not if a Los Angeles-baaed organization, the so-called "Lake Cuyamaca Wilderness Association," is allowed to go through with its plan of developing 458 acres of prime wrest . land on the north side of Middle Peak.

This organization has drawn up plans for ~he construction of ll45 campsites; 37 cm;nfort stations, and 28,000 square feet of "relaxed recreation buildings."

Included with these would be the nee:.. essary accompanying roads, sewer systems, and supporting pads, Middle Peak has always been one of the most beautiful areas in Southern California, especially now that most of the other beautiful lands have already been exploited. The are!! has been enjoyed ·by countless generations and has earned the right to be preserved and enjoyed by countless more. If the Lake Cuyamaca Wilderness Association is allowed to ruin a substantial area of Middle Peak, what was once beautiful, untouched forest land will be filled with hordes of motor homes and campers, and will no longer offer the solitude to the peaceseeker that it does now.

There are other considerations than the obvious detrimental effect that such a development would have on the enVironment of Middle Peak and the surrounding areas. One of the most important is the historic water shortage of the area--camps and residents have long been faced with periodic water shortages, and the alreadymeagerwater supply can hardly be expected to support a development such as this.

There is a chance to stop the plans of the Lake Cuyamaca Wilderness Association--if and only if we act now.

There is a petition being circulated on campus which asks for the Middle Peak area to be preserved as permanent open space on the San Diego county plan. Anyone can sign this petition in the TELESCOPE office, room R-4A, and no one has to be a registered voter to sign.

Also, the County Board of Supervisors will soon hold a hearing on the Lake Cuyamaca Wilderness Association development plan. The hearing, which will be May 17 at 2 p .m., is open to the public, so go and express your thoughts.

Letters can also be writ-

I

ten to the Board of Supervisors at the Administration Center, 1600 Pacific Highway, San Diego, Ca., 92101.

Please help us save Middle Peak so that we all can enjoy it in the future!

Dear Editor: MECHA ea el primer paso para organizar los grupos eatudiantilea por todo el suroeate en una fuerza vibrante y. r.e.E!ponsiva de activistas que reaponderan ep una sola fuerza unida a la opresion y al racismo y que trabajara harmoniosamente cuando se inicien campanas para liberar nueatra gente.

En el preaente, cuando uno viaja por el suroeate, puede darse cuenta de que hay diferentes niveles de conocimiento en diferentes colegios. Por eao es la funcion de MECHA de avanzar socializacion y tambien el conocimiento politico para asi lograr la liberacion de todoa los campuses. El movimiento eatudiantil ·e s en general un movimiento politico y .como tal no debe sacar o recibir de nuestra raza respuestas negativas que noaotros tanto hemos experimentado en el pasado con relaciones ooliticas y muchas veces con buena razon: Con eate fin pues nosotros debemos re-de{inir que la politica para nueatra gente significa un modo de liberacion. La sofisteria politica de nueatra raza debe aumentar para que asi no caigan victim as de apologistas y vendidos que llevan como unico interes su carrera personal y su fortuna. A mas de ser un movimiento politico, el movimiento estudiantil es tambiel social y cultural.

MECHA debe traer a la mente de cada Chicano que la liberacion de su gente contra prejuicio y opresion esta en sus manos y esta responsabilidad es mas grande que cualquier diploma, especialmente si ese diploma ha sido obtenido a costa de su identidad e integridad cultural.

Asi pues MECHA es mas que un nombre; es el espiritu de unidad de hermandad y es la resolucion a emprender la lucha por liberacion en unal sociedad donde justicia es nada mas una palabra. MECHA es un medio de conseguir ese fin.

ERRORITE™

We've all been watching it sneak up on us, knowing it is inevitable, but not being able to do anything about. it.

It comes every year about this time so we should have been prepared. Prepared to bear down against it. But no.

The dreaded annual "Summerzcummin" disease has once again struck Palomar College.

**

Cinco de Mayo began to be celebrated following the Mexican victorY. over French troops in 1862.

The French troops came to establish Maximillian as French emperor of Mexico.

This marked the first military defeat of Napoleon Ill's troops.

Prior to this battle which occurred at Cerro de las Camponas in Puebla, President Benito Juarez had been encircled in the city of Veracruz. With the defeat of the French, his range encompassed all of Mexico and led to the final French defeat and execution of Maximillian.

The French were defeated by a Mexican contingent composed of rural militia plus army officers. lt is in effect the second independence of Mexico from foreign domination, not to be confused with Sept. 10, 1810, which was the beginning of the war of independence from Spanish colonial rule.

Today Cinco de Mayo is one of the most celebrated dates not only in Mexico but in many parts of California.

There's no stopping

it.

"Summerzcummin" strikes withQut warning, destroying even the most staid and studious students. It always hits on a warm, sunny day.

Be it known that the Dean of Students has declared that "Summerzcummin" may be hazardous to your schooling.

'As I look out over your eager faces ... '

Chicanos seek social reform through IRaza Unida' party Over 1,000 delegates from throughout the nation attended the first national Chicano political convention April 22 in San Jose, Ca. The convention was held with the purpose of committing individuals and organization to unite under one party; La Raza Unida.

La Raza Unida was formed earlier this year so that this party would serve as a vehicle and mechanism for electoral politics and representation in the political arena. Prior to the formation of this party, the majority of Chicanos cast their votes for some glib speaking, taco-eating politician who suddenly appeared in the barrio at election time.

Usually democrats, the politicians made inspiring promises of new schools, and barrio upgrading which somehow, never quite materialized.

Chicanos finally concluded that the only ·way their "socio-eco-politicai' ~ situation could ever be frnproved would be by their own efforts. Thus, their efforts became La Raza Unida Party.

It was pointed out in the convention that the party could control 200 presidential electoral votes by its Chicano population in Atzlan (Southwestern st .. tes.)

Among the proposals MAPA (Mex-· ican American Political Association) discussed to be presented to.- presitlal nominees were (I) l<'uH support for the Farmworkers Union of Cesar Chavez to gain contracts, freedom to strike at any time and boycott; (2) Massive investment of government resources for health, welfare, education, jobs and housing programs in the Chicano barrios both rural and urban.

Other proposals covered immigration policies. Latin-American policies and a

new "Good Neighbor" policy towards Mexico.

Through La ttaza Unida, Chicanos face better prospects of attaining some of their goals stated in the proposals.

By ·using those possible 200 electoral votes, for bargaining power, maybe then some of those inspiring promises can become tangible.

And some concrete improvements will be made effective in much needed areas such as the barrios and education.

As one delegate put it, "Only through our own political mechanism and totally Chicano controlled vehicles can our real and true interests be served and represented. We intend to organize ourselves into such a party for the 1972 elections and deal from our own strength and independence."

This terrible sickness gets its name from something that oc·c urs in the highly advanced stages. It seems that at that point, students are able to mutter only a single combination ofwords. Language experts have decoded it to be something like ''Summerzcummin.'' Hence the name.

The symptoms are the same every year and the disease is highly contagious.

The acceptance of this seemingly incurable sickness becomes apparent as activities for the stricken spring up.

The most popular of these activities is a "frisbee" game. Involving anywhere from two to 10,000 people, the "frisbee" satisfies those doomed with ''Summerzcummin" and gives them a chance to forget it au. This activity frequently lasts into the wee small hours of the morning. · "Summerzcummin" ends exactly on a certain date every year, although the day varies from year to year. For some reason, unexplicable as yet, it ends on precisely · the same day classes do.

This seems to be the only known cure.

From studies taken on the Palomar campus, it seems some students are in the highly advanced and dangerous stages. Association with these people will bring on "Summerzcummin" early.

When it hits, do not resist--enjoy-it's only a once a year thing.

Chicana liberation viewed

By Rosela Del Castillo Women's liberation has infiltrated into all aspects of our society, including the minority faction.

Although women's liberation aided in the awakening of Chicana women, Chicanas liberation faces different problems than white women's lib.

Chicanas must not only contend with the "machismo" factor but a traditional and confining culture.

The Mexican culture dictates that women be totally subservient to the male in all areas. Beginning when the girl is young, she is taught the culinary arts along with total and unquestioning respect and obedience to the male members of the family.

The father and the brothers always are served first and obeyed. When the girl reaches her teens she is prepared for the job of home maker. If she pursues any type of career it is usually very short one, such. as a business career.

Her brothers are allowed and encouraged to pursue a college career but the girl is usually dissuaded from venturing into the professional world by being told to stay home and contribute to her parents.

Marriage takes her into another type of servitude. Mexican men insist the woman be a virgin in every way. He makes all decisions, including economical, social and sexual. Many times he may decide exactly how many children they'll have. Before the Roman Catholic Church relaxed their birth control laws women would breed over six· children during their best years, not having any other ambitions.

There is now a new breed of Chicano women.

A more aware and political breed.

Today Chicano women want to change their status with the "macho". They don't want to put him down, like white women's libber's often do, but get out of the kitchen and stand along side him in the cause for "socio-eco-political" reform.

Chicano women are involved in oicketing and struggling in political rallies for the upgrading of their race.

There is also a larger percentage of Chicanas attending college and pursuing professional careers.

Chicanas also have their own clubs in which they not only inform other Chicanas of what's happening in the cause but how to help their raza.

In the revolutionary struggle to attain relevant changes within the Mexican and American society, Chicanas want to be equal with men ancl be a powerful asset in obtaining racial goals and defining their position as women and Chicanas in this society.

Board passes new resolution for minorities Minorities and women now have a better chance to secure a job at Palomar College thanks to the unanimous approval of the Affirmative Action Resolution by the Board of Governors last week.

Introduced by Paut Jacques, chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee, the resolution asked for an improved equal opp,ortunity employment at Palomar.

With the intent of incorporating (<special efforts to reach minorities, and women," the estabiTsl:iinenf ·of an Affirmative Action Program is expected to take place in the very near future.

Designed to help achieve "a more thoroughly integrated faculty, administration, and classified staff at the college," it was resolved that Palomar should attempt to recruit more applicants for the 1972-73 school year among women and minority groups and that such applicants should receive priority in consideration for appointment.

Recently the department chairmen were informed of the resolution and suggestions were made that departments ·should reveiw their recommendations for employment of new staff members.

With the Affirmative Action .Proposal plans finally underway, we hope to see some new representation in all departments on campus.
