17th century set planned for comedy
talks tomorrow at MiraCosta
Stage construction pla ns for the upcoming drama presentation, "The School for Wives," have been des igned to r epre sent "something that will have the fee ling of the 17th Century pe riod in France," according to Norman E. Gaskins, techni cal director of the play.
Rod Se rl ing, author, pl ayw right a nd te levis ion personality, will give a lec ture e nt itled "The ~Oth Century and Other A.bsu rdit ies• · at MiraCos ta College tomorrow night at p.m. in the gym.
"The Sc hool for Wives," a French comedy by Moliere, is schedul ed to open December 7 and run on December 8, 9, 14, 15 a nd 16 und e r the di r ection of drama ins ructor Buddy As hbrook. In order to capture the whimsical, 17th Century mood of the play in his set design, Gaskins is employing two stage techniques which he borrowed from early theater. The first of these is the use of footlights, which, according to Gaskins, is a fairly unusual practice in modern theater. Strip lights along the front of the stage wall will act as footlights, catching the faces of the ac tors. Another tec hnique borrowed by Gas ki ns is the use of a "wing and s hutte r" m ethod on the exterior wall of the set. The exte r i or wall is built on a wagon so th at it splits, and both sides of the wall can be drawn off a t the same time for a scene change . Gaskins observed that there is "literally one set design" on the stage, so that complicated set changes will not occur during the play. Two fe a tures of the set, a balcony and a fountain, will be permanent fixtures, and most of the furniture will also rem a in stationary. Assistant to Gas ki ns in set design and construction is student Nick Petrosino, who al so se rves as s upe rvisor of the s tage construction crew. Gaskins noted that costumes for the play will be "res toration period--as authentic as possible . " Claudia Keithley is wardrobe mistress . Othe~ key m embe rs of the tec hnical staff ii"lclude Anne Re gre t , lighting director, Ellen Stewart, in c harge of props and co5tume, and Barbara Carr, an assistant in make - up.

As t r onomy ins tructor Joseph Willis demonstrates the use of the control panel in the pl anetarium. Palomar's plane t arium fea tures a variety of pro-
gram s, inc luding a weekly public prese ntation. December's featured program is e ntitled "The Christmas Star." (P hoto by Kean Wilcox)
Three professo rs on campus run the pla ne tarium: Dean Charles A. Coutts, director, Joseph P . Will is , ass is ta nt direc tor, a nd Miss Sandra J . Scheetz. The p lanetarium, whic h was built in i965 and is the oldest in California, uses various types of special equipmen t during its shows. "The naked- eye p rojector ," said Mr. Willis, "enables us to give you a veiw of the sky as seen from any s pecified point on earth. In addition to being able to switch locations, the projector is able to move back and forth in ti m e . Spec ial effects are ac hieved through the use of t he moog computer, whic h syn-
thes i zes music with l ight organs. The geocentric, another piece of machi ne ry, takes the viewer "down ins ide the ea rth as if the earth we r e mad e of glass," according to Mr. Willis. The s lew e nab les the operator to project an image across the 30 foot dom e at any rate of speed he wis hes . The plane ta rium is not in usage solely on Wed nesday nights . ''The basic concepts of astronomy a r e a lot eas ier to learn by viewing as opposed to a textbook. Even the Apolio program chose the usage of planetariums for s tud y," said Will is . In . addition to astronomy classes regular use, the planetarium is also em ployed by physical science and geography classes, for study of such concepts as tim e , latitude and longitude. Special pr ograms a r e presented to various area schools a nd other groups in coo r dinati on with their spec ific concentration of stud y. Atte ndance has ave r aged 1000 pe r month since the planetarium ope ned in 1965. There is no adm ission c ha r ge . " Or igi nally the value of as tronomy was in keeping time, and locating objects and pl aces on earth," Willis sa id . "But with the advent of Sputnik in 1955 , and the subsequent boom of s pace technology, the s tud y of othe r wo rld s has becom e a ve r y vi ta l and mysterious p a rt of our lives . " Indeed , the expe r ience offered by the Palomar plane t a rium is one that no s tud ent can afford to m iss.

'Peace is on the way!'
Water polo season ends with SoCal tourney loss By Steve Lyon Coach Don Hubbard's water polo team ha nothing to be asham ed of. They were eliminated from the state championsh ip by a tough Long Beach squad 8-4 last Wednesday in the Southern California tournament. The Comet season is over, but not until they gained the respect of many Southern California teams. The aquam en finished the season with an impressive 23 - 5 record. They won the Miss•on Conferenc e with an unblemished 12-0 mark and also won two of four tournam ents they entered. This i s all quite a tribute to a team that was formed only two years ago . Pal omar held its own in the SoCal tournam ent. They finished in a tie for fifth pl ace. "It's been a most enjoyabl e and satisfying season." commented Coac h Hubbard. "Of course you always ar e dis appointed after a loss, but I think the reaction by the players is one of respect. Ther were some great players in that tournament." In the final game of the season Long Beach led 1-0 after the first quarter. Pi ling on five goal s in the second p eriod to the local's one, the opponents led 6-1 at halftim e. After three quarters Long Beach l ed

In the only victory of the tournam ent for the locals , they found themselves down 4-1 after three quarters to Ven tura, but Palomar gave a second effort and tied the game at f i ve after regulation time.
As m embe r s of th s tud ent body. we r ec ently noticed a s light differ ence bPtween the budge ted inc om e and actual income from the bookstore.
In the first overtime Ve ntura scored, but the locals fought back again and tied the gam e on a shot by Nel son which sent the game i nto a sudden death overtime.
A few years ago the bookstore was operated by the ASG, and the profits returned to the ASG . The id ea was that students pay for the book s . so th ey should r ece ive the profits .
Nelson then got a pass from Jim Frasier and fired in the winning goal. Nel son l ed the Palomar attack, scoring on five of eight attempts. T ed Cole was the only other scorer, hitting on three of six attempts . In the opening outclassed by a team. The score was Cole had the only on two of five.
rou nd Palomar was strong Golden West a depressing 13-2. two goals converting
"We improved although we had a lot of experience," added Hubbard. "We were quite el ated when we beat Ven tura after being down 4-1 in the third quarter."
Well, thing have changed. The monopoly that the ASB bookstore enjoyed was tol er ated by the s tud ent body bec au e th profits ca m e back to the tud ents. That' s no longer the case . That light differenc e we m entioned wa $7.500. One m embe r of the administration says that the money is in the district bookstore bank account . The budget committee does n't know exactly whe r e the S7 ,500 is. No one told u s that anyone had the right to withhold money from the A G. Our current ASG budget was approved by the Board of Governors l as t semester . That budge t call ed for S28 .000 of the bookstore profits as incom e for the ASG . \\'e only rec e ived $20,500 . To balance our budge t. an admini s trator borrowed funds from our res erve without the stud ents ' knowledge. J\'ow. on e m embe r of the admini stration say s that the .-\ G i s a "bunch of beggars . " One m ember sa id that .-\ SG c ards s hould be m andatory again. e ven though it' s agains t the st ate law to force students to l)u y th em.
