questioned by teacher With the el ection of only 10 student assembly me mbers, last week's election was unconstitutional. That' s the feeling of political science instructor Roy Arche r, who questions the legality of the cons titutional amendment that r educe d the size of the student assembly from 20 to 10 m e mbe rs. Archer contend s that all constitutional amendments s hould be r atified by a majority of s tudents voting in a general e re ction. Because this was not done, he s ays the size is unchanged . Whe n he pres ented his ideas to the ASG executive council, howe ver, the council unanimously rejected them. "He r eally doesn't have a leg to s tand on, " s aid ASG president Stan Flores.

Flore s pointed to the February 25 edition of last year's TELESCOPE which reported the passage of the student asse mbly ame ndment by a two-thirds approval of both the executive council and the s tud ent as sembly. The ASGpresident at the time was Robe rt Garvin. Judicial advocate John Hi ggin ruled that the ame ndment was legally done. It did not have to go before the student body. in a general election. "Thus, the current student government administration is simply following a ruling made last ye ar," Flores explained. Following is Article 14 of the ASG constitution. It is the interpretation of this amendme nt that has caused the conflicting viewpoints. ARTICLE XIV, AMENDM E NTS

College student problems eased by campus counseling center By Glae Thien With the aim of making life easier for the college student, the ASG has· opened the new Student Counseling Center on campus. Talking with people about problems or other topics, providing a comprehensive referral service and offering stud ents a list of available housing are the key tasks performed by the nine student counselors who work in the center located in the ASG office (R-3). The idea for the program originated last February in the student assembly. After its approval, a special committee composed of both students and administration worked to organize the new project. · Administration credited ''Having the cooperation of the administration was a big help in starting the program," ASG president Stan Flores said. He credited college president Frederick Huber, Counseling Department Chairman Byron Gibbs and Student Activities Dean Robert Bowman with big contributions. During the summer, prospects for the counseling positions in the new center trained for their posts by taking a special counseling course offered on campus. Currently, the nine student counselors are Elaine Brooks, Bob Elliot, Rick Halbert, Mike O'Connel, Skip Panthen, Ken McLean, Ellen Richie, Kevin Obley and John DeCecco. Two coun-

*** Ed Mendez, representative of the VetE~ran's Service Department, county of San Diego, will be available for consultation on campus every Wednesday morn- . ing, 8:30 to ll:30, in the office of the Coordinator of Veterans Education, Administration Building.
*** The College Blue Book is available in the reference section of the Phil H. Putman Library. This set of books lists all colleges and universities in the country and the grants and degrees they offer.
selors are on duty at a time during the center's 12 noon-10 p.m. ope rating hours . Each counselor e arns $1. 85 an hour. Total costs for the center have reached $800 a month. Funds needed "We are now looking into additional are as of funding," said Flores, noting that just $4, 000 of ASG funds have been budgeted for the program. Meanwhile, the center is open and is offering a varie ty of services. "We have be en dealing with a number of problems," said O'Connel, who helped co-author the original proposal. "Topics such as abortion, the draft, drugs, health and education have been discussed with a stud ent counselor." Ofte n, the counse lors, using a special catalog, are able to refer the troubled students to age ncies in San Diego county. The agencie s are specially equipped to deal with specific problems, " Also, we help students with campus problems," explained McLean, who has been counseling since the school year began. "Some instances have been helping students fill out forms for financial aid or just spending time on any help requested . " Hotline planned An aid in counseling will be a "hatline " telephone, yet to be installed. Using the "hotline" members of the community and students will be able to call and receive assistance from the staff. All conferences with the counselors , in person or on the phone, are strictly confidential. "We make a notation of what services were provided," McLean commented , "but no names are recorded." Eventually, the counselors hope that those who have used the referral agencies recommended will let them know how good the service actually was. From this information, the y expect to get a better idea concerning which places give better service. Housing Listed A housing listing, another service provided by the center, attempts to provide a complete listing for the students by cooperating with local landlords and realtors. Counselors in the center are learning that the program has been beneficial both for students and thems elves. "I think you learn about yourself by helping others with their problems," McLean explained. "It's been ,very beneficial for all concerned.''

Ms. Boccaccio is presently the chairwoman of the San Francisco National Organization for Women (NOW) speaker's bure au. She was also an organizer of the National Women's Political Caucus (NWPC) and helped establish The Joyful World Press.

She is the author of a book entitled "Penelope and the Mussels ," publishe d by The Joyful World Press, fe aturing a five year old heroine. The book is based on the perceptions of a feminist, rather than a discussion of women's liberation in the guise of a children's book. It depicts girls and boys in coope rative relationships instead of competitive, and combines realism and fantas y. Shirley Boccaccio is also an artist who had has two one-woman shows at the Maxwell Galleries in San Francisco. Her works have appeared in many other group exhibitions as well. She is a former art teacher. Lifestyle Upsetting Ms. Boccaccio's lifestyle as well as he r beliefs seem upsetting to many people. "Some people find it easie r to accept me as an unmarried mother than as a supporter of equality for women," ·she says. She adds that "once women join groups to organize for their rights, it is a positive, affirmative thing." Shirley Boccaccio, in addition to her outside activities, is the mother of three children, two of whom are characters in her book, Penelope and her younger brother, Peter. Ms . Boccaccio's lecture, in conjunction with Woman's Day, is coordinated by Palomar students, faculty members, and the North County NOW,

Department plans exhibit by alumni Four former Palomar College students who are now enrolled in the Art Center College of Design, Los Angeles, will return to their alma mater tomorrow to discuss and demonstrate their current projects and studies. The four, now seniors at Art Center College, are Dennis Andersen, James Hallowes, Joe Warren and Bill Bishop. The Palomar alumni, with Bishop the lead e r of the group, will present three programs in Room P-32, at 9 and 11 a .m. and 1 p.m. James Hulbert, of the Palomar art faculty, who is arranging the visit, said the demonstration will include movies, slides , examples, of original advertising art and fine art, high-crafted models of wood, fiber e:lass ann metal. and informal discussions with the audiences after each presentation. The programs will be illustrated with models of recent projects in all departments at the Art Center.
The recent arrest ·of a Palomar College student while he was attending class will be fully investigated by the ASG executive council. "This event has far-reaching implications," said ASG president Stan Flores. "The main question is can any student or faculty member be subject to arrest while class is in session." Previously, the report of the incident was presented to the college administration and its council. This group referred the issue to its legal advisor, the county counsel. The incident occured October 13 when unidentified police officers entered· a classroom, handcuffed and then arrested a student while others in the room watched. The charge against the student was failure to appear in court on a traffic violation.
Rhythm and blues class begins here "Understanding Rhythm and Blues" will be the name of a new class to begin here tomorrow night at 7 p.m. in room C-7 . According to Bill Clemmons, instructor of the class , its purpose will be to develop a background of understanding and listening to rhythm and blues. Members of the class will discuss blues and jazz as well as analyze African drum ceremonies and slavery field songs . Students wishing to sign up for the class should register in the Admissions Office . Registration will be open for two weeks, and will be free to students presently carrying over ten units credit.
Gridders vie for first here Saturday SBVC forfeit made final; PC profits
Mixed archery team captures title; individual shooters take honors Palomar's mixed team squeezed into first place while its me n's and women's teams each captured second in the 11th annual Southwest Regional Intercollegiate Ar c hery Champions hips he ld here l ast Friday and Sa turday. Eighteen long- s tanding meet records were shattered at the tournament, ten by the women arche r s and eight by the men. Seventeen coll eges and eightyseven archers were entered in the competition. When a ll the scores were totalled at the end of the s hooting Satu rda y, it was found that the mixed teams (two men and two women) of Palomar and San Bernardino Vall ey College had tied with 6, 789 points each. In order to break the tie, the team with the best score from the distance of 60 yards was counted the winner, and by this
by Leeayn Chapm an Alone i n firs t place and undefeated. Alone in second with one loss. The top defe nse against the top offense. That's the status of the two teams that are meeti ng on Memorial Field Saturday night --Southwestern and Palomar. Southwester n College has the top defense in the c onfe r ence , allowing less than seven points per game. Palomar has the best offense in the conference, scoring 227 points in conference play, the next highest scorer having 187.
The Comets' cause was helped this week by the State Board of Athletics, when they turned down San Bernardino's appeal to reinstate their conference grid record. SBVC won Saturday night's game, but it doesn't affect the standings. Fumbles hurt Comets Fumbles always have been and always will be disastrous to the game, especially if it's your team that's doing the juggling. Four fumbles, all late in last Saturday night's battle, cost the ·comets the game as San Bernardino cashed in two of them for six points to defeat the locals 31-28. The Palomar offense and defense came s trong in the first quarter when they scored 21 points and only allowed the Indians one touchdown. Domination of the first quarter began on the first play ·of the night. Starting with Mark Leszczynski's kick-off return to the 24, it took the Comets five minutes and 11 plays to score. Running back Jack Thoreson was prominent in this series when in three carries he plowed 30 yards to put the ball on the SBVC 46. Leszczynski gains five Quarteroack Ron Coppess went to Leszczynski for a five yard gain and five more plays pushed the ball to the San Bernardino 19. Steve Simunec gained the necessary 19 yards on a Coppess hand-off. Doug Haynes' extra point attempt was good. The Indians had control of the ball for only seven plays before they had to punt baek to Palomar. John Thompson returned it to the 27. The Coppess- Thoreson combination picked up 14 yards . Leszc zynski scampered 19 yards on another play, and Simunec picked up three more. A penalty was called on SBVC to put the line of scrimmage on the 10. Thoreson ran for nine yards, and Coppess crashed through on the keeper for the second Comet TD. Another Haynes kick mad e the score 14- 0 for Palomar. Interception sets up TD An interception by George Allen on the first play of the next series set up the locals' third touchdown. Starting on the 34, Leszczynski moved up to the 37, then Ken Iacuaniello scampered 48 yards to put the ball on the Indians' 15. A pitch-out to Simunec accounted for nine more. This time it was Leszczynski who got six. Another Haynes kick turned the score to 21-0. However, in the next set, SBVC started to s how their true colors, much to the disappointment of the PC gridders, as they scored in two plays originating on their 36. Fourtee n plays later, the Comets scored in what was to be the last time of the night. The drive began when Leszczynski r e turned the kick-off to the Palomar 39 . Coppess rolled up 14 yards on a keeper and two carries by Simunec netted nine . Coppess goes to air After s ix plays Coppess took to the air for the first time. He connected on a screen to Mike Hayes at the 13. Coppess-Thoreson gained another 10, and Leszczynski knocked off one more. For the second time in this game, Coppes s scored on the keeper, and once again Haynes' booted the ball through the uprights. In what remained of the first half, San Berdoo managed to score twice, leaving the half time score 28-21, Palomar. Thirteen plays after the game resumed, the Indians put the game into a deadlock that lasted through almost two complete quarters. Then, towards the end of the fourth, SBVC worked the ball down to the three, and scor ed on a fie ld goal for the last score of the night. As of October 21, Coppess has kicked hi s way to the number one punter spot in the state. He's punted 28 times for 1263 yards, or a 45.3 average.

"The biggest surprise of the season has been Clif Cole, ' remarked Curran. "He has improved well and has turned into our top runner. Of course, we couldn't have made it this far without the rest of the team -- Ron Palcic, Steve Laird, Chris Jupp, Pete Welch, Powell Harmon, and Ernie Castro . " The next competition for the harriers will be the Southern California meet November 17 at the College of the Canyons. COC will also be the site of the State meet November 25 . As far as the Comets are concerned, the SoCal meet is the "big" meet. •we have to see how the freshman react in a meet of this caliber," Curran said . He went on to say that Palomar's team has one of the smallest time gaps between their first and fifth men in any school. "We're starting our speed work now, and we ' ve discovered that each runner is averaging 100 miles per week," Curran remarked. In last week's Santa Barbara Invitational, the Comets came in 44 points ahead of the second place team.
