profits to be among the key issues this campaign. "Whereas this institution usually leads other colleges in change and improvement, " he said, "it seems behind as far as the college calendar is concerned.'' Various plans currently being studied would end the fall semester before the start of Christmas vacation. Studies are also being made concerning the other issues of mandation and bookstore profits. ASG representatives are members of the groups examining these topics.

WITH NEW DYNAMOMETER
Students analyze engine problems _By Mike LaBonne Avant-garde is a term usually associated with men in the arts domain who create or apply new or experimental ideas and techniques. Palomar's Automobile Technology Department may not be in the re alm of contemporary art, but it certainly qualifies for avant-garde status with its DR 500 Dynamometer. The Dynamometer is a sophisticated engine evaluator recently acquired by the department. Of local area colleges,
The new DR 500 Dynamometer control panel is shown evaluating engine design and test results for the Auto Technology
Palomar is the only one with this type of advance automotive equipment. With this equipment, students in the advanced automobile class can evaluate engine design and test results in a classroom atmosphere. Equipment controls and instruments are integrated in adesk height control-room console located separately from the engine. The department uses a complicated looking, locally produced, 16-step engine analysis data sheet. After running through various tests and filling in

the resulting information, there are no secrets in the operation of an engine. Every function, capability, limitation and possible trouble spot is revealed to inquisitve automotive students . Larry Bertram, an instructor in the Auto Technology Department, explained that the console instrumentation readouts include torque meter re adings (0 to 600 foot pounds), tachometer ranges (0 to 10,000 RPM), engine oil pressure (0 to 150 PSI), engine fuel pressure (0 to 10 PSI), engine vacuum (0 to 30 inches), engine oil temperature (100 to 325 degrees Fahrenheit), and engine water temperature (100 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit). Additionally, with twelve temperature probes, the student can measure exhaust gas temperatures at eight ports, head temperatures , plus intake and radiator air temperatures. "Our current project, " said Bertram, unwrapping an impressive looking engine, "is this Chevrolet 250, six cylinder engine. With those three, twobarrel Weber carburetors, it can deliver from 250 to 300 horsepower." This summer the engine evaluator will serve an unusual purpose. '•we plan to test and publish the results, whether good or bad, of engine gimmicks that are on the market," stated Bertram. In order to cope with the high interest shown in racing, an intercollegiate racing conference is being established. The s tyles or divisions under which students can participate will be drag racing, offroad (Baja style), and slalom. At Palomar, the special program auto technology course is currentlydesigning and building an off-road automobile. Its chassis and balloon tires are already past the design stage. The department has already produced one automobile--a dragster. • This is not too surprising. With avant-garde equipment like the DR 500 Dynamome ter , it follows that avantgarde productions are the usual results.
excavation of the land. Tractors are at the site and work is expected to begin within a week. "We hope to modify the land as little as possible, but still be able to develop controls against erosion," said Hawthorne , who originated the idea for the arboretum. As soon as the excavation is completed, planting, featuring native Southern California vegetation, will begin. Meanwhile, progress has been made in the establishment of the new nutrition center. In cooperation with the Pepsi Cola Bottling Company of San Diego, the ASG has obtained a 45 cubic foot display refrigerator for $776, about half the actual market value. "Now, we need counter tops and shelving in order to open the store," student assembly chairman Steve Henderson said. "If anyone could possibly donate these items, we would certainly appreciate it." Organic fruits and vegetables, nuts, dairy products, raw juices and pastries will be included in the store, to be located in the Student Union. Plans call for the store to open at the end of this month. Store hours will be ll a .m. to 1 p.m .

Play concerns Welsh poet's last two years By Katie Hoadley "Dylan." a two-act tragicomedy by Sidney Micheals, will open here Thursday as the drama department's first play of the semester. The play will run Thursday. Friday and Saturday nights, and again on March 29-31 in the Drama Lab, P-33. "Dylan" traces the last two years of the life of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, ending with the poet's death of alcoholism at the age of 39. In the play, Thomas is portrayed the eccentric artist he was--a hard-drinking. free-spending and somehow likeable character. Roger Maculey, playing the role of Dylan Thomas, stars in the play. Other major characters include ClaudiaKelthley as Thomas' wife Caitlin; Phil Golden as Brinnin: Perry Skarra as Angus; Starr Davis as Meg; and Evie Payne as Annabelle. Cast Named Other actors include David Herrin, Anita Joy, Shirley Preston. Steve Bianco, Don McKnight, Tisha Bellantuoni, Dee Bernard , Carl Cook, Ramelle Flory, John Lynch, Donna Gialanella, and Stan Moore. Several of these cast members play two or ~hree roles. Although "Dylan" is divided into two main acts, each act is in turn divided into a number of scenes--totalling 23 scenes in all. Various scenes range In length from 30 seconds to 15 minutes . The scenes are also very diverse, which has caused some problems for the cast members. In Act I of the play, scenes range from Wales to Idlewild, from a ship's cabin to a burlesque theater . The scenes in Act II also vary greatly from one another. "The success of the play rides on the smoothness of the transitions from scene to scene," explained Buddy Ashbrook, drama instructor and director of the play. He added that the sceneto-scene transitions will either make the play drag or add to its artistic quality. Set Problems Encountered The stage crew, led by Norman Gaskins, technical director of the Drama Department, has also had its problems in coping with the large number of scenes. Their goal has been to make the stage as versatile as possible, so that it can be adapted to any one of the scenes, and because of this the stage area itself is huge. Members of the stage crew include Dave Herrin, stage manager; Jann Campbell, set construction and sound chief; Reamelle Flory, assistant to the director; Anne Hegart, lighting; Karla Hayward and Mike Auten, properties; Jan Bourgoin and Beverly Brown, costumes; and Mel Lavato and Rebe l Parks, make- up . The play begins at 7:30 p.m. on each of the nights it is being presented. Tickets are being sold for $.50 for students and $1.50 for non-students.

Baseballers travel to RCC, Grossmont By Leeayn Chapman Remember the joke about the baseball game between Hydrogen Tech and Oxygen University? The score was 2-1 in favor of Hydrogen, but the game was called on account of rain! That's how it's been for the Palomar baseball team for the last two weeks. As a result, they will play three games in a row this week -- yesterday against Chaffey, today at Grossmont, and tomorrow at Riverside. Both today's and tomorrow's games will begin at 2:30p.m. The rain-cancelled Citrus game, which was the conference opener, was played last Saturday. The Comets lost in the icy, cold weather up at Azusa 3-2. Right-hander Dana McManus started the game against the Owls and went for 6 2/3 Innings before again being relieved by Dale Dent. In the course of McManus' stay on the mound, he allowed six hits, five walks, and struck out four. All three Owl runs were charged to him. Dent fanned three, walked one, and allowed one hit. The locals committed only one error. PC scored one run in the sixth and one in the seventh. The first one was set up on singles by Chad Corcoran and Rich de la Garza. Catcher Mark Leszczynski grounded out, but Jim Cameron knocked a ground ball to the shortstop, and Corcoran scored on an overthrow to first. In the seventh, Randy Robinson singled, went to second on Dent's walk, and scored on an error by the Owls' first baseman.

OK' seminar opens
Techiques allowing for better understanding of human relationships will be outlined and explained in "I'm OK, You're OK " workshops this Sunday and again on March 25 and April 1, in B-1 at 7:30p.m. Frank Gearheard, a licensed marriage, family and child counselor, and
Film on Rapids to be shown "Rapids by Raft," an exciting film story of a raft trip through the Grand Canyon by way of the swirling Colorado River, will be shown here March 20 in P-32. Producer Hal Scharn will present the picture--a 70 minute account which was over one year in the making. The film crew spent weeks recording sound effects, shooting the rapids, and placing technicians into awkward, often dangerous situations. They even logged about 40 hours in a single engine Cessna to capture the immensity of the canyon from the air. They carried backpacks with equipment over 30 miles to reach colorful Havasu Canyon, one of the most remote areas on this continent. The fascinating result is the condensation of over 300 miles of river wildness and tranquility into a single breathtaking film adventure.
a clinical student for the San Diego Institute for Transactional Anaiysis will conduct the classes. He will explain principles and applications of Transactional Analysis, an orderly practical approach to understanding human relationships. It was devised by Dr. Eric Berne, author of "Games People Play" and "Sex in Human Loving", and popularized by Thomas Harris in his book ''I'm OK, You're OK". It is claimed that the method enables people to make better decisions, predict their outcome, and increase responsible performance.
The classes are sponsored by the San Dieguito Counseling Service, an interreligious group involving five churches of different faiths and the San Diego Institute for Transactional Analysis. A fee of $1 per session is charged.
