Plans for arboretum progressing By Glae Thien Native Southern California vegetation will be featured in the natural setting of the campus arboretum (natural park) scheduled for completion in June. Doubling as both a study area for science students and a recreation spot, the arboretum will be located on currently vacant land in the northwest sector of the campus. The ASG will finance the project. "Open space is a necessity for any healthy academic community," said student assemblyman Brian Hawthorne, who devised plans for the new park. ''The main purpose of the arboretum will be soul preservation," he added . "By providing a quiet, peaceful atmosphere, it will give people a chance to relax and be able to think.'' The idea of an arboretum is actually based on Hawthorne's experiences with the United States Coast Guard in New
London, Connecticut, during the summer of 1971. "One of the universities there had a huge arboretum which was almost all wilderness," he r ecalled. "The students, as well as the community people, who spent time there for research, painting and nature studies, really enjoyed it.'' So, the idea of an arboretum remained in Hawthorne 's mind as he came to Palomar at the beginning of the school year. Almost immediately he wondered why this campus could not have such an area. After investigation of the costs and possible sites for an arboretum, he took his final conclusions to the student assembly, whose members endorsed his proposals . ''Other segments of the campus were also very helpful," Hawthorne noted. ''Bob Kelly of the gardening department,
as well as members of Biology, Art and Photography departments were enthusiastic about the idea." With this backing, Hawthorne explained his plans to the Board of Governors as part of a presentation concerning the ASG budget. The board approved the plan, designating the proposed land for the project (the area was previously planned for future parking lots). Still, the task of preparing the site for plant life remained. Last week, Hawthorne led a group of faculty and administration members, along with a representative of the US Department of Agriculture, to the location . "Unfortunately, we discovered some problems," Hawthorne said. "The agriculture specialist warned us about cyclical rainfall in the area and the nearby water run-off that causes extreme erosion. "In addition, Dr. (John) Schettler (as-

Two one-man shows on display featuring contemporary art works Prints by Walter Askin make up the new one man show that joined Richard Allen Morris' face painting in the Dwight Boehm Gallery. The Gallery has been divided into two rooms for this semester to accommodate a series of "ten one-man shows of various medias and ideas," said Doug Durrant, director of the gallery. In room B of the gallery are the prints by Askin, a teacher at Cal State LA. This series of prints were created at Tamarind Institute at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. Askin has had more than 16 one man shows; has exhibited paintings, drawings, sculptures and prints in over 400 museum and university art galleries in the US, Britain, Canada·, Mexico, Japan and Germany; and has received numerous awards. In room A of the gallery, the display of cartoon faces by Richard Allen Morris continues. The faces were painted very quickly, Morris said at the opening two weeks ago, so that he could start work on the next one. He started painting these faces in 1964 and has done over 100. Those on display in the gallery are all from the late 1960's.
Jones' interest in outdoor life led him to film part of Muir's past in the national park. During his high school and college years, Jones spent summers working in Ontario's Quentico National Park. He spent the summer of 1966 on a 1100 mile kayak expedition along the coast of Japan. The trip, partially sponsored by the National Geographic Society was the basis for the film, "Written in the Water." Admission is free. A discussion period will be held after the film.
''The gallery dictated where I put them , " Morris continued. "They look different in a different room. I hardly recognize them." The display of faces in room A will remain on display until next Friday, while the print display in room B will remain on display until March 4.

planting will begin. "Of course, science students will then be able to use the arboretum for specimen id entification of our local plants," Hawthorne observed. Another feature of the arboretum will be a special man-made mountain included as part of the park's design. Meanwhile, as work begins on the arboretum, Hawthorne has plans about having a second one, which would include, among other things, a pond. ''I've been thinking about a spot on the northernmos-t part of campus," the student assemblyman said. "Already, it has a partial pond and most of the area is fenced." At this location. he expects to plant out-of-state and out-of-country plants. The pond would be stocked with various types of fish. It is hoped that migrating water fowl would stop and use the pond.

sistant· superintendent in charge of business) said we must have a fence enclosing the area if we included a pond," Hawthorne continued. After considering these developments, Hawthorne decided to discard the possibility of a pond in the arboretum. It was also decided to check into soil erosion prevention and design the park accordingly. Following the work done for erosion prevention, action will begin on preparing the various parts of the park. Among the key tasks are excavation and piping for water supply. "In the park we plan to have a natural amphitheater that can accomodate 75-100 people," Hawthorne said. "It will be ideal for outdoor classrooms or group discussion.''

They're in Yuma for the Desert Classic Tourney. If the first week of play is going to _a any indication of how the baseball season will be this year, the conference crown may be within reach. After not even being rated for placement in their own tournament, the local team took first place last Saturday afternoon after three days of winning efforts. Sophomore Don Johnson did the throwing for PC in the first game as the Comets scorched College of the Desert, 15-4. COD spens scoring COD scored first in the opening inning as a runner scored on a long fly to center field. Their second run of t he inning came on a walk with the bases loaded.

Mark Leszczynski scored Sherman on another single . First baseman Randy Robinson knocked a long fly to left field to score Cameron. De la Garza scores two Rich de la Garza knocked a grounder to first after a sacrifice by Johnson to score Leszczynski and Robinson.
