INTERNATIONAL FAME GROWING
Local artist proves versatile By Stella Willcox "What is happening to me is what should happen to every artist." Dee Shalett Lewbell was talking recently in her office in the Art Department. She is an assistant to art instructor Frank Jones, and a student at Palomar. She was talking of the present stage of her life as an artist. "You seem to go through a time when you grind out stuff. But it's like putting money in the bank; it's there when you need it. I've been quiet for a while. Now I'm ready to produce." Dee's work is receiving increasing · recognition in the Art World. She has shown her work from Hawaii through Beverly Hills, the East Coast and the Virgin Islands. Her most noted works include wooden worship objects and a type of printing combined with weaving that is her own original development. Last December she exhibited an art show in Bonsall after the proprietors, Hy and Kurtie Huling ,had seen some of her work when she accompanied a sculptor friend to their gallery, and invited her to open on December 3. The show was held over for two weeks longer than initially scheduled. Her work is now on show in the Thackeray Galleries in San Diego until the end of February. Of the show she said, "It is prestigious in that it has works from 100 graphic artists, starting with Picasso, Chagal, De Kooning, and somehow ending with Dee Lewbell, because I'm lucky that way." At present some of her work is on display at the Beverly Hills Art League Gallery, continuing for about another

month and a half. Beginning March 1 she is showing in the Carlsbad-Oceansiae ,Art League Gallery in Carlsbad. Her work will also be on TV Channel3, "The Today Show" for a week in March, and the Oceanside newspaper, The Blade Tribune, is planning to run an article on her this week. Although Dee enjoys the success her works are rece1vmg, her greatest pleasure and satisfaction obviously comes from the creative process itself. She described with gusto how she made a maquette--a scale model--for Frank Jones' class in History of American Art. "It was a sculpture--a monument commemorating American Art--a memorial. Five or six nude figures. "I had never attacked clay before. It really was an exciting experience. Figures kept on evolving from the lump of clay. I did it Cubist fashion . I suppose it was really a very simple approach to anatomy. Then I painted it black when it was wet, and it all went mouldy. It gave the neatest effect. "I shall definitely go on working with sculpture. Possibly in the summertime. ''I am working right now on two areas of printing--with shells and using snake skin--python. I am exploring; it's being thought though. " Dee brought out some of her work, holding a print of seagulls which may be made into a poster, a print of intricately detailed elephants, a red and yellow abstract. "I may start to sign my prints at both ends," Dee reflected seriously. "If the composition is good, it can stand being reversed. It should hold together either way. Of course, this is only true for works of an abstract nature."
The seagull print was crossed by two intersecting bars of white space as though the viewer were looking at the gulls through a window. Dee explained that she often uses similar effects in her work. "This is to bring the viewer into the picture. Very rarely do we have an uninterrupted view of anything," she pointed out. "People usually have something in the way between them and what they see, a window, a tree, a building, or maybe the masks that people wear." She now spends anywhere from eight to fourteen hours a day, five and sometimes six days a week in the Art Department. Dee, a designer all her life, said, "I have never been so completely satisfied in my life as since I came here to college.'' The first time she came to Palomar was to visit a weaving show by her daughter in law. Lynne Lewbell, in the Boehm Gallery. "That was years ago," she said, "and the coffee machine didn't work then either." Last year, upon moving to Escondido, she enrolled in a water color class. "This was my first exposure to college. I was terrified. I registered one day and then came in the next day to drop out. I came out of the office with three more courses." She was enthusiastic about the atmosphere at Palomar in general, and the Art Department in particular. "There has not .been one young person who has patronized me like you take a little old lady across the street in traffic," she said. "They are just as fresh and spontaneous with me as they are with one another . "I may be a perennial student. "
"Dances We Dance" at Palomar at 8 p.m . Friday in the Dance Studio. The program, sponsored by the college Community Services Department, will be given in the Dance Studio where there is seating capacity for about 200. Early reservations are advised, with tickets, at $1, available at the Community Services office or bookstore . "Dances We Dance" is a repertory program stressing the evolution ofmodern dance, using works of the finest choreographers in the field. Both Miss Jones and Ludin have been on the faculties of the Julliard School in New York, the Connecticut College School of Dance, Long Beach Summer School of Dance, and the Artists-inResidence at the University of Hawaii. Miss Jones, as a member of the Jose Limon Company, danced at the White House, toured around the world under sponsorship of the State Department, and has made several television appearances. Switzerland-born Ludin received training in Vienna and Paris, made his debut as a young soloist in Stockholm, appeared in musicals and on television, and toured the Far East with the Limon Company. A Master's class for advanced students of modern dance will be held March 3 in the Dance Studio at 10 a.m. It will be taught by Miss Jones and Ludin .

1Iembers of the Student Assembly endorsed the Administrative Council's latest proposal concerning mandated courses in an ASG meeting last Thursday. The new plan would remove the current requirements of Health Education and Political Science for the AA degree and eliminate the present Physical Education activity course requirement. Tonight, the recommendation will be presented to the Board of Governors at their regular meeting. Effective date of the proposal would be the fall semester of 1974. Until this time, the PE requirement would be changed to include students 25 years old or younger. In other action at the Stud ent Assembly meeting, representatives decid ed to support the establishment of a meditation course. The idea will now be presented to the curriculum committee. Progress of the new emergency loan service was explained by treasurer Gary Jestice. Following discussion. it was decided that students who are deined loans can appeal the decision to the Assembly.

POLITICAL TACTICS MATURING
Ecology drive shows change The ecology movement in the United States has come to mean many things to many people. To the less responsible land developers , factories and industries . the ecology movement has been a rut in the yellow brick road to riches . To some minority groups, the ecology movement is detrimental to the cause of equal rights and equal representation. And to others, the ecology movement does not exist except in the minds of radical muckrakers. To some, there is no real problem for the environmentalists to combat. Hard Battle Seen The ecology movement means the most to those involved in it: to them it means a hard. often losing battle for the most important com modi ties of the earth--air, water, land, and life itself. Whatever the ecology movement is, it has come a long way on a hard path since national recognition of the movement was gained in the late 1960's. Until the late 60's, the hard-core nucleus of the ecology movement was a small, ineffective group of genuinely concerned citizens. Organizations such as the Sierra Club, the National Wildlife Federation and the Audobon Society were sincerely concerned but did not have the political clout and public backing to uphold their convictions . Ecology National Cause .
'The legacy of man'
Commitment called key to population explosion
Then, somehow, ecology became a household word and celebrated national cause. The poisoned air, sludgy water and fast-disappe.aring land were suddenly the intimate concern of scores of Americans. New-Iound ecologists preached, politicians promised, and the Sierra Club blossomed in membership. But nothing happened. Nothing at all, except for a few token allowances tossed to ecologists. The factories continued to belch, the bull-dozers tore harder at
the land, the litter along the highways grew no thinner, and the smog grew persistently thicker. The politicians still promised. a nd the polluters still prospered. Even when a group of long-working environmentalists managed to label a giant corporation as a polluter and environmental menace; even when, in the very rare instances, the conviction of such a company was obtained in court, ecologists learned that the most severe law under ·which the offender could be punished was written in 1899 . The offender would be letoffwitha "severe" fine of $2,500, a slap on the wrist, and a free hand to continue polluting.
how to get a cause started and follow it up successfully. The large corporations had these things. While ecologists were sitting back and relying on the good will and honesty implied in a political promise. the developers and corporations were pressuring politicians with consistent lobbying and generous campaign contributions. Compromise Accepted Another attitude which conservationists have learned. grudgingly, to accept is that of compromise. At first, in high idealism. many ecologists fully expected an immediate end to the overwhelming problems they faced. This was not forthcoming, and, in demanding a complete solution to the problems, ecologists often lost the whole battle instead of winning even half of it. The art of compromise was learned slowly, tortuously, by the vanguard of the ecology movement. Often. only meagre scraps of desired legislation fell their way, while the brunt of the new laws favored developers or corporate giants. Movement Becoming Rooted Now, as the ecology movement becomes more firmly rooted in a groundwork of legal victories, compromise is becoming less of a necessity, but still a useful art. Ecologists who at first were ready to return California to the gophers are now working slowly but · firmly to make it livable for the humans. The ecology movement has done a good deal of moving since its beginning as a nationwide cause. The frantic a ntics of the '60's advanced to the sometimes fruitless attempts at compromise of the last few years. Today. the credo of the ecology movement might well be the same as the motto of the Sierra Club-- "Not blind opposition to progress, but opposition to blind progress ."
Indignation Abundant What the ecologists had. and had too much of, was indignation. And what they had too little of was political knowhow: a thorough knowlege of the system and of the ways to make it work in their favor. The ecologists also had a lot of talk and little personal commitments. Many were those who wailed "energy crisis" and refused to unplug their electric blankets at night; who moaned at the browning sky and could not share a ride to work; who looked with disgust at their dirty waterways and disappearing clean water supply, and still took their 20minute morning shower. There were. and are, just too many who looked,and still look, at the darkening environmental picture as if it were all the work of a demented few, and not of a whole nation of individuals too accustomed to luxury. Naivete Hurt But what really hurt the ecologists , more than anything e lse, was their polical naivete and their overabundant trust in the promises of politicans seeking re-election. The ecologists had no lobby to represent them, and no real knowledge of
By Katie Hoadley Contrary to some beliefs, the population explosion is not just another one of the too many, too complex problems facing us today. Overpopulation is actually at the root or major world problems; they all stem from one thing above all else. There are just too many of us. Enigm9.s such as war, pollution and starvati<m have always plagued mankind to somf; degree. But with the advent of the population explosion, the dimensions of such problems have increased to such an extent that they have outgrown their solutions . Statistics Grim Statistics regarding world population growth speak out grimly. What are we going to do to silence them? Will population growth have to be controlled by legislation; birth control by mandation? Unfortunately, legislation controlling population growth lies in the future unless we take it upon ourselves now to stabilize the human population. It can be argued that the population of the United States is presently stabilizing, and this is true. But the United States is not an entity unto itself. Here, population growth is indeed beginning to lessen. Worldwide. it threatens to double itself within the next few decades, and to double itself again in a few years after that. US Philosophy Seen We in the United States have the philosophy that it is fine to have as many children. at least, as we can adequately provide for, and this averages out to about two or three children per family. After all, we live in one of the world's richest countries. But we are not just citizens of the United States. Over and above that, as far as the population explosion is concerned, we are citizens of the world. And over and above all else, we are members of a species that threatens to make itself extinct by reproducing itself beyond the earth's capacity to house it. So what is the solution to the population explosion? There is already abor-
tion and birth control: the first a grim necessity, the second a too often unavailable preventative measure. These will suffice, if made available worldwide, to prevent unwanted pregnancies, unwanted additions to an already overcrowded earth. Responsibility Involved But what population controi really involves, if it is not to be legislated, is personal responsibility. It involves each of us limiting our families to two children per couple--the easiest and most acceptable way of eventually stabilizing the population. It involves limiting our personal lives a little in order that the entire species--including our own offspring--might better survive. Population control involves educating . a whole world of people to realize the plight they are in, to realize that having five children apiece will eventually destroy us all. It is going to involve a lot of worldwide effort and worldwide unity, and that is going to be hard to achieve. Commitment Needed But overpopulation doesn't start with the world, it starts with the individual. It starts with each of us, and with the amount of commitment each of us has to make to keep our species alive, to keep from proliferating right off the face of the earth. Overpopulation is not a problem that underdeveloped countries face, or that the man with ten children in a three bedroom house faces . Overpopulation is a problem that the world faces, that each of us faces --it belongs to all of us. Overpopulation is everyone's baby.
