Ever want to gripe about something? Really get it off your chest? Maybe you just want to let someone know that they're doing a good job. Either way the library is offering a way to do so. A suggestion box has been placed at the main circulation desk and anyone can slip a piece of paper into it and rest assured that it will be read. Ann Nesbin, library head, says, "We will try to implement these ideas." So far quite a few people have utilized the suggestion box. Someone came up with the idea that the library turn up the thermostat at night. "During the e;vening many students can be seen sitting around in jackets and sweaters," Nesbin states. Another person suggested a light be put up over the dictionary a nd someone else just wanted the library quieter. But many had no complaints and Nesbin "wishes to thank all those who had such kind words for the service they receive."

Photographer receives honor In the first photography competition he has entered since 1971, photography instructor Tom Young's work was selected for hanging at the Western States Regional Print Competition. The print selected for hanging is a black and white photograph incorporating several techniques taught in the Photography Department Lab Techniques class. Young created a portrait derivation-- a high contrast line drawing printed ~n multiple images with controlled image s hift. Young's print is one of only two black and white prints selected to hang in the competition. Professional photography today is mostly color work where the color makes the print. The combination of printing techniques brought Young's print its success, not the color. "I felt compelled to e nter this competition due to the inspiration of working daily with photographer Justus Ahrend, head of the photography department," explained Young. "In addition, since I require my students to enter student competitions, I

felt it only fair to them that I keep abreast of contemporary photography by entering professional competition and attending the judging when possible." The competition began February 9 at Sheraton Inn in Concord, California in conjunction with the Professional Photographers of Greater Bay Area Seminar. Young joined the photography department in 1971 after leaving his studio operation. He and Ahrend work together to bring meaningful instruction and ideas of today's communicative world. Palomar has been established as one of the best photography co\leges in San Diego County. Expansion of the photography department has been limited due to the l ack of available funds. Even so, the department grows each semeste r. Last semester alone saw a 45 percent increase. New courses have been designed but are being held back due to the limited facilities. "Each semester Ahrend and I revise our courses," said Young, •to keep them parallel to the world of professional photography."
Exorcism, one of today's most controversial topics, will be the subject of a speech by the Re v. John P. Leary, a Jesuit priest and president of New College in Sausalito, Friday, March 8 at 2 p.m. in P - 32. Leary started New College in September, 1971 with 16 students and a budget of $2,500. In two years it grew to 175 students and a budget of $518, 000. The Sausalito campus has some "farout" approaches to education, reflected in the titles of courses -- building imagination and discipline; literary and science habits; the city; and revolution, among others. Rev. Leary feels his New College is a new approach, long overdue , to education, He had seen too many students' eyes glaze over in a lecture hall, too much memoriza tion and enforced learning. "I'm co nvinced the alienation of the young is profound," he stated. The course catalog for his New College lists "wisdom" as the goal of education at that institution. According to Dr . Leary , "wisdom is the capacity to see things in perspective . It implies enough detachment from the ongoing to see the vortex, at least in rough outline. And enough involvement to be partner to the smallest item if it pertains to us ... The power to shift, discriminate and judge is hard to come by."
People donate articles to historical museum With the hope of a histo rical museum on campus at some time in the future, the library has been receiving gifts which will eventually be housed in it. Katharine Macefield, a Palomar student, donated the eagle on the shelf above the front door of the reading room. It was originally in Tammany Hall in ew York for many years. The antique plow located on the wall above the reference shelf is a gift from Mrs. Louise H. Daniel whose husband, the late Guy R. Daniel, Lt. Commander, USNR ret., picked it up in Okinawa during World War II. The most recent gift is a Mohawk ceremonial staff from the mid-1. 700's . Robert Fox, another Palomar student, donated it to the Library. One of his ancestors was a Mohawk princess and the staff belonged to her.

Two units of credi t may be ea rned from this course which costs $270 for seven days. The cost covers everything. The first stop of the cruise will be the island of Guada lupe, 150 miles off the coast. Guadalupe is an "oceanic island" which means that it was never connected with the main land. Consequently. it has many interesting features. including two s pec ies of seals which were thought extinct at the end of the nineteenth century. The cruise will proceed south to West San Benito Island where there is "a wide spectrum of wildlife, inc luding killer· whales and a vast array of s hore birds ." expl ained Bostic. Further south the group will vis it San Ignacio Lagoon, o ne of the major breeding lagoons of the California Grey Whale. "Entering the lagoon wi ll be an adventure in itself."

'GRASSROOTS' APPROACH EMPHASIZED
Local government affracts students By Diane Slezak Today's political scene seems to become more scandal-ridden with each ·passing day. So why, with the American public rapidly losing trust in their elected officials, would any young person wish to throw hi s hat into the political ring? According to two Palomar students who are candidates in two separate races in the March 5 municipal election, there are two kinds of people when it comes to politics--those who just s it and complain and thos e who still complain , but who are motivated into action. Richard A. Foster, a 1972 graduate of Orange Glen High School . is one of eight candidates vying for two seats on the Escondido City Council. David Ross, a 1973 graduate of Ramona High School, is one of six candidates competing to fill a vacancy ·on the Ramona Unified School District Board of Education. "If I see som ething that is going to affect my l ife, I want to be able to do something about it," remarked Foster. "You have to fight for what you believe in." "I started by writing satires about
board actions in the Ramona High School newspaper," states Ross. "Then I was appointed student representative to the board, so now I'm beginning to see what it's like on the other side of the fence." What do each of these prospective candidates think of his chances? •Much better than last time ." stated Ross. He ran for the same post last year, finishing ninth out of ten candidates. "I've changed somewhat from a strong pro-youth platform to one which is a little more receptive to the taxpayers. One advantage in my favor is that there are no incumbents in the race." Having incumbents in his race is one of the hardest obstacles Foster is trying to overcome. "It's really hard to be up against incumbents. Many of my opponents have been actively involved in city politics for many years. Three of them have served on the council in years past, so their names are wellknown throughout the community." Foster and Ross have employed a "grassroots" approach to campaigning. "We have to," Foster remarked. •students are not known for being among
the world's richest people ." "I've been trying to get out and meet as many people as I can." they both emphas ized. Although Ross had enough · financial backing to place some adverti sements in the local paper, both have r el ied primari ly on pamphle ts and wordof- mouth to advertise their campa igns. Both are toying with the idea of making politics a career. Foster plans to major in political science at California State Un ivers ity, San Diego, but is also interested in l aw. Ross leans toward a career in writing. but says. "If the opportunity arises, I would definitely consider politics as a career." He also plans to attend CSUSD. What about the waning trust in politicians? How do they see today's pol !tical trend? "I think that people now are searching for si ncerity in a politician," said Foster. "I don't think great wealth impresses the average voter much anymore." "People in government rea ll y have probl ems ." remarked Ross. "I feel that very few of the m start out to (inte nti onall y) do bad."

Swimmers extend winning streak With two victories apiece Ted Cole, Jinx Olson, Mark Rohm and Jim Sones paced the Comets to their third straight swimming victory over Chaffey 65- 38. The win boosted their overall record to 3-0 and their confe r e nce record to 2-0 . The locals will be on the road against Grossmont today.

In the 1,000-yard freestyle Sones bettered the old ' mark of 11:07 .9 set by Rohm, clocking a 10:59 .2. But Rohm wasn't to be outdone.

Cagers conclude season with win Freshman guards He nry Walther and Tim Ness led the Comet basketballers to an 88 -76 victory over Saddleback last Saturday night to close out the 1974 season. Palomar wound up with a conference record of 9-7, an overall record of 13-1 8 and fourth place in the Mission Conference. The loc als led at the end of the first half by nine, but with eight minutes gone in the second half, the Gauchos had closed to within four (47-43). The Comets reeled off ten unanswered points to put the game away. Walther paced Palomar with 22 points and Ness add ed 21. Al so in double figures were Dana Blalock (15) and Marc Pincock (12). The Comets shot a torrid 45 percent, hitting 34 of 73 field goal attempts. Other Palomar scorers were Bill Beckford, nine; Jody Schmitz, five; and Dan Hat trup, four.
Urquhart-led golfers beat Riverside 32-22 Riversid e became the first victim of the Palomar golf team's conference schedule Monday when the defending Mission Conference champs, led by medalist Brad Urquhart's 73, disposed of the Tigers, 32-22. Top seeded Steve Wickliffe began the afternoon by upending Riverside's number one man by s ix strokes 74 to 80 while Brad Urquhart literally annihil ated his opponent by 13 strokes. Dave Canada m anaged to gain a tie to he lp the cause, while Jim Kronus and Bill Goneau were upended in their matches . In the best-ball category Urquhart and Bryan Putnam came up with a victory with a two under par 70, as they breezed to an easy victory. The linkste r s, now 2- 1 on the season and 1-0 in conference play, won't hit the links aga in for another week because of the cancellation of Friday's match with Chaffey. The latter team had to drop out of the Mission Conference golf play for 1974.

Seven errors and som e so lid Citrus hitting dealt the Comet baseball team an 11-2 pounding last Tuesday on the local's field. The loss evens Palomar's conference record at 1-1 and overall record at 5-5. The Comets face Riversid e tomorrow at home and hit the road Tuesday and Thursday to confront San Diego City and Chaffey respectively. Coach Jim Clayton's squad got their runs in the third inning to tie the game at two runs apiece. But Citrus then added fou r runs in the fifth and four more in the sixth to break the game wide open. Two unfortunate accidents marred the game. In the fir s t inning Citrus outfielder David Bates suffered a broken finger after being picked off second. Catcher Neil Eskuri was knocked out
after des ignated hitter Buster Hosey missed a third strike and struck Eskuri on the side of the head. He was subsequently revived and stayed in the game. Last Saturday the Comets won their Mission Conference opener downing Grossmont 5-4 on a fine pitching performance by lefthand er Don Johnson. The local nine s upporte d him with 12 hits including a triple by Jim Odle, two doubles by Bruce Richardson and another one by Daryl Dunn . A three-run eighth inning broke a 2-2 deadlock as Odle boomed a two-run triple and Richardson's si ngle later drove him in . Johnson gave up a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth. but then got the next three batters in order. He gave up seven hits. struck out six and walked one.
