Seven programs will be presented to North County residents in celebration of the 200th anniversary of the United States.
By Diane Slezak Stressing the concept of people working together toward a common goal, Dr. Frederick R. Huber, president of Palomar College, officially welcomed new and returning students last Friday in front of the Student Union. Students and faculty, attracted by the music of the Palomar Stage Band, filled the compound to hear Huber's remarks on the topic, "Where am I, what am I Doing?" Huber spoke first on the relationship between the student and the college. Citing knowledge, money, skills, experience and tradition as reasons for post-secondary education, he repeatedly emphasized, "We are here to serve you. "Students are seeking more services from the college, from scholastic to social activities. The administration and ASG (Associated Student Government) are working to meet your needs ... Jerry Jones (ASG president) has made it clear he needs your help." The mustachioed president pointed out past projects, such as the Good Food Store, SHELTER (Student Help Center) and various tutorial services, will continue to be operated under the auspices of the ASG, while new projects are just waiting to be formed.
Huber then emphasized students' responsibility to utilize the services available "We now have 115,000 volumes in our library, plus the resources of the learning center within the library. Use them," he urged. "One area which also needs to be utilized by the students is the faculty," Huber continued, addressing directly the students congregated on the patio and surrounding lawns. "Get to know your instructors. They are always available to you." Moving on to the relationship between students and the community, Huber made references to the book, ''I'm OK, You're OK," by Thomas Anthony Harris, expressing these particular points: - An individual is responsible for the future, no matter what happened in the past. \_Vhat was ·done in the past must not rule the future. -Much in life is good. People can fear evil so much, they forget what is good and dwell only on that which they feel is bad. -We must be together. We are responsible for each other. We are not enemies, but people with different ideas which must be heard. - If a relationship between two people can be formed so that it is working together toward common goals, why can't that concept work on a much larger scale? Before turning the program back to the stage band, under the direction of Bob Gilson, Huber concluded his 20-minute speech by expressing that students were welcome to visit with him in his office and by hoping that each student enjoyed his year at Paloma·r. "Love yourself," he urged. "No one can be closer, or know yourself better, than you."

Increased enrollment cuts acceptance of applications Increased enrollment, along with a greater number of applications, has forced the Financial Aids Office to be stricter in accepting applications for aid. According to J. Frank Hankin, Financial Aids Officer, the office will now consider the applicant's grades in the selection. In spite of the campus population explosion, the office is still offering many types of aid. It has received a $1000 grant from an unnamed donor, and is receiving more and more scholarships. Contests will be held later in the yeat: for these scholarships. Applications can still be made for: Federal Insured Student Loans, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, National Direct Student Loans, Nursing Student Grant and Loan, Short Term Loans,Law Enforcement Education Program Loans and Grants, Basic Educational Opportunity Grant Program, Student Employment and Placement, and College Work-Study Jobs. A listing of each and its requirements can be
obtained in the Financial Aids Otlice. The policy of the office is to help any student who does not have enough money to meet halt ot his expenses. The applicant must be able to prove his need, and will be accepted in comparison with others on the basis of neediest first. Not-so-needy people will be able to arrange loans from $500 up to $2,500 through the banks. Hankin emphasized that students interested in aid or scholarships should keep aware of the varied programs of financial assistance. "It has been my experience that a great number of students are apathetic when it com- . es to reading and digesting The Telescope on at least a weekly basis. Many students have indicated to me that they weren't aware of the Basic Grant, of EOPS, of the various state scholarships, or of the many scholarships offered through competition at P JC," he stated. Hankin went on to say that his door is open, and if a student will make an appointment, he will be glad to help.

Environment photos showing at Boehm One hundred thirteen photos with the common environmental theme "Our Only World" are now on exhibit in the Boehm Art Gallery until October 4th. The exhibit was produced by the US Environmental Protection Agency in cooperation with the Smithsonian Institution. The photos are designed to portray the nature and scope of America's environmental crises and efforts to combat it. "Our Only World" is a part of the Smithsonian Institution Travelling Exhibition Service's answer for those institutions requesting an exhibition on the environment. There are five other identical exhibitions that will be on display in at least I00 locations during the tour. Boehm Gallery Director Russell Baldwin said, "I think that this exhibit will be of special interest to students of photography, art and science. However, all Palomar students and members of the community, especially those interested in our environmental crises, should find these photos enjoyable."
Dramatists schedule one-ad plays

Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," is based on a con man, a very popular character in the days of "The Sting." The last play was written by Alexandre Dumas. Entitled "The Duel," this play deals with intrigue. In his description of the plays, Gaskins adds that they are all"classic stories adapted to play form." A couple of them have been made into movies. Gaskins feels that, although some of the dialogue in the plays is simple, technically the production will be a challenge. Sets for four very different and separate plays must be made in one very limited area. Gaskins adds that it will be a "beautiful exercise for my technical classes." Students in the technical classes will work in set construction, make-up, lighting and sound, costumes and props. Some students will also ass1st Gaskins in the direction of the plays.
Presentation dates for the one-act plays are October 24, 25, 26,31 and November I and 2. Also to be presented this semester is an original play by Gaskins called "The Chimes of New Year." This Christmas play is scheduled to be given on December 12, 13, 14, 19, 20, and 21. The play is adapted from a "little-known story by Charles Dickens." Gaskins labels the play a melodrama, and explains that it deals with "the treatment of the poor pe"ople in England by the upper class Englishmen." There are some mysterious moments and some "very tender, almost saccharine moments." He adds that he did try to "write it so that when you pick it up, it doesn't stick to your fingers." Audition dates for "The Chimes of New Year" will be announced later, and Gaskins says that "several beautiful character parts" are included.
OPEN SEASON TODAY AT LA HARBOR
Poloists talented, but inexperienced After finishing third in the eight-team Mission Conference last year, Comet water polo coach Don Hubbard is approaching this season realistically. "Our only lack is in experience," said Hubbard. "Among our 21 members, we have some pretty talented ones who will help give us good balance," he added.
Comet quarterback George Dickerman evades potential tacklers in the Comets' 10-7 victory over Glendale of Arizona. Key blocks
by several Comet offensive linemen enabled the Palomar quarterback to turn his frantic flight into a sizeable Comet gain .
Hubbard predicts the poloists' stiffest opposition in their quest for the conference crown will be defending champion Grossmont, which returns most of iast year's squad, and also a primarily freshmen group from Chaffey. "I hope that we will be able to challenge Grossmont for the title, but Chaffey will also be strong, and Southwestern will also be ~ood," commented the Comet mentor. The backbone of Hubbard's squad will consist of three returning starters from last year's 15-8 (I 0-4 in conference) group; sophomores Glen Duncan, Mark Estey and Dwayne Bodwell. Duncan was the team's second leading scorer last fall. Lettermen John Me-
Coy , Dave Anderson and Pat Cullison will also be coming back . However, the degree of success that this squad attains, depends upon the performances of a talented group of freshmen. Hubbard describes this year's recruiting efforts a "good", but that may be an understatement.

Fullerton. which will be returning II of the 16 players off last season's team. "will give us a stern test in our pool." remarked Hubbard.
Probably the most outstanding of the first year men is Bob Maag, a Vista High School grad who was named San Diego County CIF player-of-the-year in 1973. Tony Nelson (first team SDCIF) and Dave Yendes (second team SDCIF), two of Maag's teammates from Vista , should also contribute to the Comet attack.

JOHNSON FIELD GOAL WINS IT
Comets'desperate rally topples Glendale, 10-7 With only nine seconds showing on the clock freshman kicker Randy Johnson calmly split the up-rights from 27 yards out to give Palomar their third straight win over Glendale College of Arizona I0-7. An extimated crowd of 4,000 fans greeted the Comets as they returned to the turf of Vista High School, after spending the last decade in Escondido's Memorial Field. The Gauchos from the Grand Canyon State took command of the game the first time they got the ball, driving 67 yards in 10 plays to score. The game remained 7-0 until Coach Mack Wei be's Palomar club finally got rolling early in the fourth quarter. It was then that Quarterback George Dickerman engineered a 57 yard drive that ended in the Glendale end zone, when he hirBill Bowker with a perfect 13 yard pass. Ran,dy Johnson's conversion with 14:06 left deadlocked the contest at 7-7 . The two clubs traded punts and Dickerman
went to work again and hit tight end Dave Keesling for 29 yards to give the Comets a first and ten near the Gauchos' 30. A few minutes later, faced with a third and 21 on his own 49, Dickerman passed to Steve Coppock. He missed the target, but the Gauchos' John Willis was called for interference when he blocked the view of the Comet receiver. This set up the game-winning score for Palomar. The Comets' leading ground gainer was Earl Vaughn with 101 yards in 14carriesanda 7.2 yard average. George Dickerman may have earned a starting job with his four of eight completed passes in the Comets' fourth quarter winning effort. On the more dismal side of the slate, Palomar was guilty of 10 fumbles , but they managed to retain possession of the ball seven times. The locals will have this week off, but on September 28, they travel to Southwestern for their Mission Conference opener.

Both portions of the program will be amply illustrated, with those attending to receive carry-home packets of such support materials as examples of the mechanics of writing, a publicity release, and a list of deadlines for all media in the North County area . Written mvitations to attend the seminar are being mailed to clubs and organizations in the Vista-San Marcos area. Business proprietors who might have occasion to submit newspaper or other media publicity have also been invited to attend. There will be no charge for the seminar.
