Chevy donated for auto classes The Auto Tech department took ownership of a 1966 Chevrolet Sport Coupe donated by Pearl V. Mitchell of San Diego, for use in the automotive instruction classes here. Larry L. Bertram, automotive instructor, explained that the '66 Chevy is one of several cars given to the college for instructional purposes. Auto Tech students, Bertram said, will take off useable parts from the doriated autos, using whatever has educationa l purposes after which the hulk will probably journey to the crusher. On hand alongside the Chevy is a 1960 Cadillac convertible, another donation, although it was not quite as va luable a teaching tool as the more common Chevrolet. Bertram explained that the everyday autos used in auto tech ciasses are those more sought after as teaching aids, while extraordinaryy, special jobs are not nearly as instructionally valuable as the family models.

Funds for financial a id to needy students have been exhausted to the point that such students may have to wait until next semester before funds will be available. According to Financial Aids Officer J. Frank Hankin, the National Direct Student Loan and the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant Program (BEOG) are the only sources remaining for aid. Hankin stated that there are probably in excess of 200 students who qualify for assistance from the BEOG . To qualify, a student must establish his financial need in an application; must have begun his post-high school education after April I, 1973; must certify that he or she will be enrolled in an eligible program at an eligible college, university, vocational or technical school, and will be attending on a full-time basis; and must be a US citizen or intend to be in the US for other than a temporary purpose. The BEOG is a grant and does not have to be repaid. Applications may be obtained in the Financial Aids Office. Various organizations have donated money for different types of a id . The Lions Clubs in the area are considering starting a program to aid the visually handicapped, and the Amigos of Vista Lions Club has given $500 to the Financial Aids Office for this cause. The Vista Emblem Club #294 gave money for use in the field of nursing. Other groups are offering new scholarsh ips for needy academic students. Law Enforcement Loans are st1ll available for those students presently employed in law enforcement. For further information regarding financial aids a nd scholarships, see Hankin in the Financial Aids Office located in the Administration Building.

Police Science offers progra~ns For the first time in Palomar history a full time Police Science program is being offered. "Contrary to the popular cops and robber idea of police work, police officers actually spend only ten percent of their time making arrests," said Robert Jackson, coordinator of Police Science. Because of this Jackson feels the stress must be placed on a criminal justice program which does not overlook the community services aspect of police training. The program, which consists of five core classes in addition to a large choice of electives, is open to students not necessarily interested in a career in law enforcement. 25 percent of those currently enrolled are just individuals interested in knowing how the system works and what their rights as citizens are. Jackson says that the history of law enforcement has been one of "ugly evolution" and a criminal justice program must prepare an officer to have a wider outlook. "The future is bright with proper candidate selection." Jackson retired from the Los Angeles Police Department as a lieutenant after 20 years of service. "Police work is usually a thankless task if you are looking for immediate rewards, but in the long run it is very rewarding."
