'Playboy' drama continues; offers realistic comedy
Small Roles Well-Acted The other, smaller roles in the play are also well -acted , with Phil Gold en and Nick Petrosino playing local farmers, and Ramelle Flory, Barbara Todd, Ellen Hexom and Anita Joy as young village girls who pile simpering praise on Christopher's shoulders. Buddy Ashbrook, who directed "Playboy," called it "the best play we've had here," and noted that it was also the easiest to direct. He cited a strong cast and convincing actors as the combination which he fe e ls will, along with the general excellence of the play being presented, make "Playboy" one of the most successful productions put on at Palomar . Tickets at the play can be purchased at the door for $.50 for students and $1.50 for non-students .

Bookstore expansion studied Expansion of the Palomar bookstore has been suggested by the m e mbers of the Bookstore Advisory Committee in preparing a report for the Board of Governors . In its study, the committee has outlined alternative expansion proposals and various methods of financing acquisition of a relocatable structure priced at $50,000, or two different plans for permanent additions, one valued at $252,000 and the other at $403,000. Two of the proposed methods of financing involve the use of bookstore profits, currently used by the ASG to promote student services and activities.
New postcard system provides early grades Students wishing to learn their final grades early may take advantage of a newly initiated system this semester. Available free in the bookstore is a limite d amount of postcards. The student may use any number of these he wishes . By filling out his address on the front and placing a $.06 stamp on the card, a student can turn in the completed card to any of his instructors. When the final grades are completed, the teacher will fill out the student's grade. and drop the card in the mailbox.
Other suggestions are using district funds or obtaining donations from sources such as the Palomar College Foundation. Distribution guidelines for profits and bookstore personnel have also been discussed by the committee, which is composed of students, faculty and administrators. The group's final report is scheduled to be presented at the next Board of Governors' meeting, June 5.

The summer class will meet five days a week, from 8 to 11 a.m. Johnson, who has had wide experience in language work with the federal government, including the Department of State, said there has been a fast-increasing interest over this country in learning the Russian language . This is due in part, he said, because of the recent large increase in vacation travel to Russia, and in business and other relations between the two countries. He said this is the first time beginning Russian has been offered in a summer class. The language has been an evening course before, and a regular day course this year.

By Katie Hoadley Performances of "Playboy ofthe Western World," the Drama Department's final play of the season, will continue tomorrow night, with additional presentations Friday and Saturday nights. The play, which opened last week, is performed each night in th~ Drama Lab, room P-33, beginning at 7:30p.m. "Playboy" is a dramatic comedy, combining elements of humor, suspense and emotional realism. The play also contains a hugging (but no kissing) scene which early 20th Century audiences, the first to view the play, found to be extremely risque . Called the "most perfect comedy ever written," "Playboy" was authored by John Millington Synge, a native Irishman. Accordingly, the three acts of the play take place in a small, one-room Irish tavern, and the dialog is flavored with a thick Irish brogue. Performances Strong The local performance of the play has as its most prominent strong point the overall excellence of the cast. The highlighting performance is given by Jamey Sheridan, who plays Christopher Mahon, the main character. Other major characters in the play are Pegeen Mike, the perfect stereotype of an Irish nag, played by Evie Payne; Widow Quin, a hard, mature woman who sets her sights on Christopher, portrayed by Mary Vance; and Shawn Keogh, Pegeen's shy, quivering, intended husband (his inte ntion , not hers), played by David Herrin. Two of the superb performances in the play are turned in by Perry Skarra and John Kelly, as Old Mahon and Pegeen's father, respectively. Both are old, somewhat potbellied, and very provincial. Part of the excellence of their performance lies in the fact that they are both older men and can thus convincingly p ortray age. Having these older actors to play the older roles is invaluable to the play.

Archers garner second in nation For the sixth year in a row, Palomar's archery team has come home from national competition with high honors. Palomar hae~ competed nationally since the first Intercollegiate Tournament in 1967. and has placed well every time. Last year. the team captured first place in the nation to be named the "fightingest come-from-behind team ever.' The team emerged slightly less triumphant from last week's national competition, but was still victorious with a nation-wide second place. The tournament was held last Friday and Saturday at East Strausburg . State College, Pennsylvania, where 155 archers convened to shoot in chilly, rainy , record-breaking weather of 28 degrees Fahrenheit. and a 35-to-40 mile per hour wind. Such conditions are not usually conducive to good shooting, however this year almost every existing nation11l record was broken. Top individuals for 1-'alomar at the championship shoot were Rudy Folds, who placed third, and Barbara Schettler, who came in seventh overall. Bob Ryder of Madison College was the high man in the nation with 2172 points, while Debbie Green of Riverside City College captured the top woman's title with 1941. In comparison. Folds finished with 2ll3, while Schettler totaled 1861. The Comet mixed team, whose second place victory determined the team's national standing, came in behind San
Bernardino with 7818 points to SBVC's 7867. Folds and Schettler made up the mixed team along with Glenn Eastman, who came in tenth overall, and Sharon Kilgore, who placed eleventh. Palomar· s men were continually in and out of first place, but they lost it on the second day to SBVC. Overall scores showed the locals with 6075 points against San Bernardino's 6169. Folds, Eastman and Mark Sinclair, who was 18th overall, made up the men's team. University of Florida men took third with 5968, while Arizona State University grabbed fourth with a 5952. Teams from 18 colleges participated in this event. The local women fared more poorly than their male counterparts, losing third by two points and having to settle for fourth. Riverside City College, led by national champion Debbie Green, took first with a total of 5670 points. Behind them came SBVC with 5528, the host East Strausburg State with 5434, and finally Palomar with 5432. Schettler, Kilgore and Gail Vittitoe, who was 20th overall, were the members of the women's team. Ayers pointed out that RCC and SBVC, who along with Palomar took top honors, are in the same conference with the locals . In addition, most of the top archers were from schools in the Southwest District, which includes California and Arizona. Fourteen of the top seventeen men and eight of the top twelve women attend colleges in this district.
Spikemen close 'hard-luck' season with 8-2-1 record 1973 started off a banner year for Palomar track. Predictions were made of a championship team, an honor which has persistently eluded any Comet squad. But the star which shone so brightly took a downward spin as an unprecedented series of setbacks plagued the team, and it struggled to a fourth place conference finish, the lowest ever. A hefty group of returning freshmen, however, could guide the team to a stronger showing in 1974. Palomar began the season by breezing to five straight victories. The first big test was against Chaffey College and immediately the mishaps began to rai.n Ace sprinter John Davenport down. ripped a hamstring and was unable to compete. Swedish quarter-miler James Anderson was declared ineligible and a large group of top performers did not bother to appear for the meet. Despite the obstacles, the Comets fought to a 7171 tie and dug in for powerful Grossmont the next week. The Griffins destroyed Palomar in a totally lopsided competition. In the conference finals Citrus also outscored the Comets, who finished with a 5-2-1 conference record and were 8-2-1 overall. Individual performances were often as
Golfers hol~ut as fourth in state Palomar golfers took high honors in state competition last week by garnering a fourth place at El Cajon. Top honors for the Comets were taken by Doug Lewis who shot a 36-hole total of 151. Pete Moren finished with a 152, with Steve Jones one stroke behind. John Morris, Bill Goneau, and Brad Urquhart also pl ayed well with rounds of 157,158, and 160, respective ly. The locals shot a combined 931 and were only 13 strokes off the pace set by Long Beach. There were ten teams competing in the finals. After a bad start, the Comets won their last fourteen matches with no losses . Coach Rusty Myers feels that with a year of experience the predominately freshman team will be hard to beat next year.

erratic as the overall team showing, but numerous superb efforts were given throughout the season. Wilber Wester nabbed the only new school record as he sped to a 14:13.9 three mile. Ron Palcic was also under the old record in 14:20. 7, while Powell Harmon turned in a 14:24.7. Palcic also ran an excellent two mile of 9: 05.6 and Wester took third place in the state steeple chase competition. He turned in a quick time of 9:27. Alo ng with the weightmen, the distance runners formed the most consistent backbone of the team. Lee Dick and Doug Lane had the top mile times with 4:ll. 9 and 4:13, respectively. The four man four mile team of Dick, Lane, Wester and Palcic turned in the nation's second best time of 17:24. Half miler John Davenport has the fastest indoor 500 time in the country and also turned in a speedy 1:52.9 half mile . Weightmen Randy Taylor, Bill Breisacher, Greg Stines, Mark Goodman , Mike Hawkinson, Rick Jackson and Mark Berg enjoyed a very successful season as they scored numerous sweeps against opponents. At the conference finals they demonstrated their depth by placing 2-36 in the discus and 2-4-5 in the shot put. Briesacher in the shot put (47-2), Goodman in the discus (145-2) and Jackson in the javelin (197) had the year's top marks in their respective events. The season's biggest surprise was Doug Haynes, while the most consistent performer was Ken Parrott. Haynes began as an unheralded and sometimes erratic pole vaulter. Halfway through the year he decided to try the triple jump and soon sailed to a fine 44-l/2. In the pole vault he improved to a lifetime best of 14-0 against Grossmont. Parrott competed in numerous different events and always finished a top point-getter. He gathered bests of 23-7 in the long jump, 44-1 in the triple jump, and 55.6 in the 440 intermediate hurdles. The sprinters and hurdlers were hindered much of the season by soggy weather and injuries but still managed several outstanding marks . 1973 bests in the 180 high hurdles were a 14.8 by Kim Hutchingson and 15.0 by Ben Bake rink and Don Kidder. Bill Reeder and Mark Sikorski had bests in the 100 1220 of 10 .0/ 22.6 and 10.1/22 . 4 respectively. In his lone attempt at the 220, Lewis Phillips ran a fast 22 . 6.

He was athlete, coach of athletes, builder of athletic fields, and athletic director, all in an eventful 40 year span. But, next month, Ward G. "Rusty" Myers is retiring and ending his lifelong careeer in sports . After graduating from Dakota Western University, he became the only instructor on an Indian reservation , the n moved to a place called Weta where he coached every sport and all six athletes that the school had. He did a short stint at the South Dakota State Training School , the n opened a successful four-year career in Rapid City, South Dakota. There. his basketball team won four championships . In 1940, he stopped off in Antelope Valley to become the athletic director at the high school and junior college. T here Myers met Robert Bowman, who moved west a long with hi m to eventually become the dean of student affairs at Palomar. Myers and Bowman were r ecalled to the navy in 1946 and found themselves stationed in San Diego. By happenstance , Myers picked up a paper one day and saw that Antelope Valley had travelled out to play the Comets' basketball team that night. He came up to see the game and, in the 'It's a Small World" category, ran into Dr. Phil Putnam. who was then president of the college. T hey had played against each other in foo tball back in South Dakota. Dr. Putnam called Myers a few days l ater and asked him to come to Palomar to head a two- man coaching staff, which was to be made up of Myers and Bowman. Had it not been for "Rusty", the locals might not even have their own baseball diamond. Myers used his Saturdays to build that field just about where today's diamond sits. Myers is certainly closing out his career on a winning note. As coach of the golf team for the last two year s he's had two Mission Conference champs,
Letters to the Editor It was announced on April 30, 1973 in Los Angeles that a national committee has been formed to urge the impeachment of the President. Its chairman, Robert Opel, said in an interview on KPFK that the committee will take out a series of newspaper ads throughout the country calling upon citizens to write their Congressmen urging that the consittution machinery be set in motion to begin immediate impeachment proceedings. Opel said that the Watergate bugging operation indicates that either the President is a master conspirator bent on subverting the American political process at a deluded dupe surrounded by persons who work independently of his direction. Responsibility for the Watergate operation is only one of a series of charges that the committee urges be brought against the President. Ope l said the bombing of Laos and Cambodia indicates the President holds himself above the Constitution by assuming powers not designated to his office, namely declaring war against the people of Southeast Asia. The President's continued impoundment of funds appropriated by the Congress; the acceptance of campaign funds from sources who wish and get special favors from the government and the use of the FBI as a self-serving arm of White House political policy and as in instrument for spying on and harassing the President's political opurging the President's impeachment. The committee has drawn up a letter detailing its charges and is requesting citizens to write for copies to send to their Congressmen. For more information write to: The Citizens Committee to urge the impeachment of the President, P.O. Box 26103 Eddendale Station, Los Angeles, CA 90026, Phone: 213- 384-9371.
