ASG budget changeOK'd by governors By Glae Thien Student government budgets will now be made and approved the same year the budget takes effect , the Board of Governors decided last week. Previously, the ASG budgets were devised a year in advance . At the same time, the board said the curre nt budget is only tentative and a final budget must be formulated. Prior to the decision, most ASG officials had as s umed the current budget, in effect since the semester began, had been final. "This is a very important decision," said Student Ass embly Chairman Steve Hende rson. "Now, the newly elected representatives can make their own budget, instead of simply inheriting one made by last year's student assembly." Action by the board came after members of the ASG had questioned the diffe rence between the current budgeted income and the acutal income. These members said the ASG had received just $20,500 of an expected $28,000 income. Noting this apparent loss of income, student assembly representatives considered trimming the amount of ASG money alloted to certain special interest groups. First target of the proposed cuts was the Music Department, set for a possible reduction from $4500 to $3500. Now, though, ASG treasurer Gary Jestice estimates the final budget may approach $35,000. The Board will decide on the total amount in this new budget after considering the recommendation of the student assembly, which will outline costs for present and future activities of the ASG. It is expected that special interest groups will receive the same amount as has been scheduled at the beginning of the school year. Other money in the final budget will be used for the new student services suggested by the ASG . Most of these projects will be designed to benefit the entire st11dent body. Among the ideas already discussed by the st11dent assembly is a new student store. ''Right now we are in the planning stages of a new health food store on campus," Henderson explained. "The store wUl have organic vegetables, fruits and nuts. We hope to get board approval and open at the beginning of next semester. " An aboretum, a natural park-like area, has also been suggested. It would be located close the the campus. Other ideas include a student bus service and a student emergency loan service. "I would really appreciate any input that special interests, faculty or members of the student body have as we consider the final budget," Henderson said. The final budget must be prepared within two weeks.

Predischarge program teaches vocational, academic subjects "The PRedischarge Education Program (PREP) is a Veteran's Administration program aimed at preparing servicemen for colleges or vocational training -programs," said Angelo Carli, coordinator of the program. "It is for servicemen whose military job does not transfer readily to a civilian job and those servicemen who desire some re-exposure to the educational experience.''

Memorial set up in Science Plaza A campus beautification project has been completed and installed in the Science Plaza in the memory of the late Katherine Geygan, who was employed at the college from 1949, just after the district was formed, until she retired in 1963 . She served as secreatry to former presidents Daniel C. McNaughton, Elon Earl Hildreth, Phil H. Putnam and John W. Dunn. The project was made possible by contributions from the Patrons of Palomar College and by members of the college classified staff. John Barlow, of the art faculty, and Tona Gale, an art student, designed and rendered the project. Barlow described the main installation as a decorative bas-relief consisting of glazed ceramic fish swarming in a net topped by a hand-blown glass net float, made in the glass-blowing class of the art department.
Pendleton five days a week. Students take classes in math, communications, career planning, introductory auto technology and introductory general metals. Most of the text and courses are programmed, using tapes and film strips in the learning center, so the students may work at their own pace. Besides lecturing, the teachers help students individually with particular problem areas. Teachers in the program include Steve Wozniak, communications; Halley Barton, math; Everett Robertson, industrial technology; Richard Schwab, career planner. The program, which began last spring and has been running ever since, was the first program of its kind to include both academic and vocational courses. PREP is run in conjunction with the Camp Pendleton Base Transition Office. "In the spring the program may be modified to enable PREP students to receive a high school diploma from the Escondido Union High School District," Carli said. "The Social Science department will offer courses in American Government and US History which will satisfy state academic requirements, and the adult school of the high school district will award a diploma to those students successfully completing the total program,'' he concluded.
"The Distribution Painting: California Sky" by Joyce Shaw opened last week in the Dwight Boehm Gallery for its only showing anywhere. When the show closes January 4, the painting, made of a series of overtaping forms which cover the walls of the gallery, will be taken apart and the individual pieces will be signed by the artist and given to the public. The painting, which resembles a cloud, was designed for the space available in the Dwight Boehm Gallery. Each piece of the cloud was painted individually and the work was assembled for the first time last week. Ms. Shaw describes her work as "a 3D painting that questions the limits of painting as usually accepted." As it is going to be shown just this once and then given away in pieces, she describes it this way: "The materials are durable but the work is fleeting!'
Group supports mandate removal A recommendation that physical education and health education should no longer be mandated classes was endorsed by the curriculum committee last week. Earlier, an ad hoc committee, selected to study the mandations, supported the abolishment ot the two requirements. This group was composed of six faculty members and eight students. To obtain an idea of student opinion, the group conducted a survey on November 20. Nearly 30 per cent of the student body, 2059 students, were questioned. Responses to the survey follow: Shoul physical education be mandatory? 64 per cent answered no. Would you take physical education if it were not mandatory? 68 per cent answered yes. Would you take physical education if the unit value were increased? 55 per cent said yes. Would you take health education if it were not mandatory? 62 per cent answered no. Do you think health education should be mandatory? 68 per cent said no.

Play of character "This is really a women's liberation play," commented Buddy Ashbrook' director of the presentation. "Moliere was among the first to become concerned about the liberation of women." Ashbrook added that the main humor of the play is not from the intricacies of the plot alone. "This is a play of character, of humorous situations," he stressed. "The plot is not really the main thing." The comedy of the play is presented largely rn visual humor, according to Ashbrook. Visual humor is intended to be more outright and less subtle, as in the case of someone leaning on a cane which isn't th~re, or accidentally falling down a set of stairs. Ashbrook added that he and the play's actors have "taxed their brains" to -think of new visual humor situations to add to the play's action. Accordingly, the presentation will contain humorous situations which are fairly original and not written into the play. 17th Century air Other actors in the play include Rich Blomgren as Chrysalde, Donn Peppler as Alain, Carl Cook as Notary, Dan von Hemert as Enrique, Fred MOON~ RS Ora_nte and Ellen Hexom as Georgette. The stage setting for the play is the design of Norman E. Gaskins, technical director, and his assistant Nick Petrosino. Gaskins has borrowed set techniques from early theater in or~er to give the stage a 17th Century 'air. The set is also uncluttered, as most of the furniture will remain stationary and complicated scene changes will not occur during the play. Costumes for the play are designed to duplicate as nearly as possible those worn during the Restoration Period in France. Other key members of the technical staff include Claudia Keithley, wardrobe mistress, Anne Hegret, lighting director, Ellen Stewart, in charge of props and costume, and Barbara Carr, as assistant in make-up. Curtain time for each presentation of the play will be at 7:30 p.m. Advance reservations may be made in the Drama Lab, and admission prices are $.50 for students and $1.50 for adults.
