Recommending to the Governing Board a future policy of mandated courses at Palomar will be the task of the Mandation Committee, which held its first meeting last week. The group, which consists ofstudents, faculty, community members and an administrator, was actually established by the board last spring. Although discussion at that time was primarily concerned with requiring Health Education, Physical Education and American Institutions, the Board instructed the committee to examine the entire question of mandated courses. Initial mention of mandated courses last year was triggered by a change in the state requirements for the AA degree. Currently, six units in each of four areas--natural sciences, social sciences, humanities and learning skills (basic subjects)--are required as well as units in a student's major and other classes to meet a total of 60 units. Yet, while the state has mandated units of certain study areas, it has not required individual courses. If any

Special funds given to school $18,000 was allocated to Palomar's occupational education funds, by the California Community Colleges' Board of Governors. Funds were apportioned to individual college districts under the Federal Vocational Education Act. Categories under which the funds will be used include programs for disadvantaged students, work study, cooperative work experience, exemplary programs and research. Funds allocated to Palomar are primarily used to teach English to NonEnglish speaking Mexican/Americans. English is taught with a pre-vocational orientation to permit rapid transition to courses in the regular vocational programs. Those who complete the English as a second language, have transferred successfully to other programs within the college. There are three centers in Escondido, Fallbrook and Pauma Valley, which teach English as a second language. Total enrollment is about 400 students.
specific courses are mandated, it must by done by the college. Likewise, if any course is mandated for students not seeking the AA degree, the college is the one who requires the course. However, in the area of physical education, there is confusion as to whether or not such activity is required by the state. Present law says all pupils enrolled in a community college except those excused shall be required to have 120 minutes of physical activity a week. Various legal interpretations have differed as to what is meant. Some contend that it is reasonable to excuse all students while others disagree. As the legal debate continues, though, some community colleges have already eliminated the PE requirements. Until further notice, the committee will be meeting each Thursday at 4:30p.m. in the conference room. Student members are Jerry Broeckert, Robert Wilson, Glae Thien and Tracy DeSchwyler. Faculty representatives are Tony Lynds, Robert Lent, Martha Lehr and Pat Archer. Members from the community include Thomas Knipstein, Harry Barber, Merle Aleshire, Richard Nissen, Charlotte Hotchkiss, Doug Best, Marjorie Cosh and David Cloyd. Howard R. Brubeck serves as administrative representative.

Transcendental Meditation potential covered in lecture Transcendental meditation produces a fourth major state of consciousness," said Steve Boggs at a lecture held yesterday in the Engineering Building. TM is a simple easily learned mental technique practiced for 20 minutes morning and evening. It requires no faith, great ability to concentrate or change in ones ' life-style. The psychological and biochemical correlates of this state are proving to be quite unusual.'' With the aid of color slides, Boggs detailed the research thus far conducted and discussed its potential for expanding creativity an(f enriching Interpersonal relations. · Ph.,Ysiological research has indicated that during TM oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide elimination, cardiac output, heart rate, and respiratory rate significantly decrease while skin resistance greatly increases. The metabolic rate of the body is reduced by an average of 20%. "Due to this umquely deep resttul alertness, accumulated tension and fatigue which restrict the normal functioning of the nervous system are dis· solved In a natural way. With the nervous system in a freer more resilient style of functioning, creativity spontaneously grows," said Boggs. "We don't need to change our lifestyle or our way of looking at things to expand awareness or grow m creativity; we need only refine our machinery of p~rception. our nervous system. A five year study just completed
Steve Boggs in Reno, Nevada on 220 subjects tound that TM increased IQ scores up to 20 points. ''This is the beauty of Transcendental Meditation. All the claims made for it can be scientifically verified," Boggs concluded. A second lecture on the mechanics of TM will be held October 11 at 11 a.m. in E-6 (Engineering).
Comets duel undefeated Griffins Locals attempt to stop losing streak at two Mission Conference action resumes this week for Palomar (1- 2) as the Comets play Grossmont (2-0-1) tomorrow night at Escondido High School's Memorial Field. Kick-off is at 7:30 p.m. Last week, the Comets suffered their second setback in a row by falling to Golden West, 27- 7. Regular quarterback Ron Coppess is expected to return to action this week. Bothered by both arm and leg injuries, Coppess watched Randy Wilkens and Jan Mock lead the offense against Golden West. Meanwhile, the Griffins have gotten off to an undefeated start this season following last year's 2-8 record. Freshman quarterback Joe Roth, an all-CIF performer at Granite Hills High, will lead the Grossmont air attack, with first-year receivers Dave Oliver and Bill Helms serving as his targets. ''Another Griffin strength is the offensive line, which was expected to be hard to replace," Gross mont publicist Bill Dickens reported. "Three of last year's starting offensive linemen received scholarships to four-year colleges." However, the Green and Gold have found replacements in Mark Johnson, Jim O'Donnell, Steve Rymer, Bill Dawson and Mark Wimsatt. "Coach Dave Jordan feels this year's offensive line could be the best in the state," Dickens noted. In last week's contest, Golden West scored at ll:09 in the first quarter after taking the opening kick-off and going 76 yards in eight plays, scoring on Bob Ferraro's one-yard run. The Rustlers again tallied at 14:20 in the second quarter when Pat Trop carried the ball in from the Comet two-yard line. Seven minutes later, Golden West added another touchdown when quarterback Dan Accomando completed a seven-yard pass to Ferraro. With just 59 seconds left in the first half, the Rustler's Rick Curry scored from the Comet one-yard line. Kicker Brett White converted on three out of four extra point attempts for Golden West during the first half. Trailing 27-0, the Comets needed only 52 seconds to score before the end of the half, the key play being a 26 yard pass to Jeff Nickoloff from Randy Wilkens. Bob Rios added the extra point in what turned out to be the final scoring in the game. Next week, the Comets will travel to Chaffey to meet the Panthers and will return home to face Riverside on October 20. ·.
