ASG appoints Assembly Reps
By DIANE SLEZAK
Expansion plans for Palomar's Student Help Center (SHELTER) stirred discussion at Tuesday's Board of Governors meeting when trustee A. J. "Pal" Anderson questioned the number of students actually utilizing SHELTER's facilities . Anderson said questions were raised in his mind after reading a letter to the editor by student Grant Bloodgood in the November 8 issue of The Telescope. Bloodgood's letter dealt with student apathy shown in the recent Student Ass_embly elections, citing approximately 300 students who cast ballots. Anderson said the letter caused him to wonder if there was a relationship between the

Members of the newly elected Student Assembly filled three out of four vacant seats in that body Thursday, November 7. Butch Olson, Inez Brown and Ronne Eastman were chosen by the Assembly and confirmed by the ASG Executive Board, leaving one place on the Assembly unoccupied. Olson, Brown and Eastman were all candidates for the positions in the recent general election and in the run-off, but each time failed to garner the majority of votes needed to elect them. According to the ASG constitution, Assembly seats that remain vacant in such a case are filled at the discretion of the Assembly members already elected. Those who are chosen need not have been candidates for the position.
During the meeting Jones took the floor to oppose the nomination of another former candidate for the Assembly, Michael Tieri. Tieri who came in third in the run-off election, was defeated for the nomination, 3-2. Jones gave three reasons for not nominating Tieri. Last year during a meeting of the governing board of Palomar College, Tieri physically blocked the entrance to the room where the board was meeting, in an effort to prevent them from leaving the building, and knocked down a student who tried to remove him. Second, he was the first streaker on campus. Finally, during the last Assembly election Tieri ''billed himself as a straight A student, when in fact during his four years on this campus he has completed five units." One other action taken by the Assembly was to confirm Mark Good as Executive Council Member-at-Large, replacing Harry McGill who resigned for personal reasons. Good, a freshman this year, is the vicepresident of the Business Club, and an Air Force veteran. He has actively participated in Project Palomar, and shown considerable interest in student government since the beginning of the year.

Invitational forensics tournament tomorrow Oceanside High School will try to capture its eighth straight victory at the 21st annual Palomar Invitational Speech Tournament. Oceanside coach Cliff Roche and his speakers have retired two perpetual sweepstakes trophies. Last fall Oceanside began a new string of victories. Changes in the day's schedule of classes provide for 30 high schools from Southern California with approximately 500 students to compete in the two-day event. Phi Rho Pi, national honorary speech fraternity, will present 91 trophies to outstanding speakers. The top three schools will receive sweepstakes awards, in addition to all finalists in individual events and semifinalists in debate. A perpetual traveling trophy will be awarded to the school winning the tournament. The competition opens today and features debate and programmed reading. Reading finals will be held at
Bostic, biology students study Baia environment Life science instructors Dennis Bostic and Lester Knapp will be conducting a one-week, two credit class called "Biology 99" December 27 through January 3. This course is a one-week trip to several islands and lagoons abutting the coast of Baja California. Although the trip costs $288 per person, students interested in taking it may secure a position with a $100 deposit, or may pay for the trip with a credit card. Early on the morning of December 27, the 85 foot "Pacific Queen" will depart from San Diego, heading south to the San Benito Islands. Upon arrival, the students will have an opportunity to see thousands upon thousands of elephant seals, and the killer whales that accompany them. Students will spend the first day on the islands watching the seals mate, fight, and give birth. An interesting note on the_elephant seal, given its name due to its large nose, is that during the months of December, January and February, the males spend their time fighting, mating and sleeping. They do not eat during this time. Among other attractions offered by this natural paradise are thousands of birds, fish, plants, invertabrates, and several species of seals and sea lions. Although it is permissable for the students to examine the seals from very

Donald Eaton , also nominated by the Assembly , 3-2, was not confirmed by the Executive Council. Jerry Jones, ASG president, explained that in his own personal judgment, Eaton was not confirmed in the position because of election violations earlier in the semester when Eaton and another candidate Michael Kearney allegedly voted twice in order to protest what they called "election irregularities."

Hoisting anchor during the night, the "Pacific Queen" will travel to San Ig. nacio Lagoon, the mating place of tpe · California Gray whale. From the boat and the islands dotting the lagoon, the students will have the opportunity to watch gray whales mate and calve. Also, the students will be able to look at the wide variety of plants, animals, fish and birds that abound on the shores of the lagoon. Many interesting geological formations are also present. From many vantage points the students can look into the crystal clear waters and observe lobsters, crabs and other marine life on the bottom, sometimes at depths of 50 to 60 feet.

number of students who vote and who use SHELTER's services. In reply to Anderson's statements, board president Milo E. Shadle replied, "There's always been apathy . We're talking about two different things- student government and a student help center." Richard Kornhauser, another board member , agreed with Shadle's viewpoint, saying there was "no correlation" between the two. SHELTER is now sharing part of the Associated Student Government offices, but has requested separate facilities due to noise and space problems. The proposal for expansion is a trailer to be located behind the Student Union, which would house a conference room , two counseling rooms and office space. "SHELTER provides necessary services for all students," stated Gene Jackson, acting dean of student affairs . "Although ASGfunds SHELTER, that's where it (the correlation) stops." Jackson cited many of the services SHELTER provides, including a book swap each semester, orientation services for incoming freshmen and special educational lectures on various topics. "SHELTER is separated by a sheet of plywood from the Student Union where the juke box is going on all day. They just can't work under those circumstances." Following the meeting, Jan Woods, SHELTER's coordinator, expanded the list of services provided. She listed legal and medical referral, a drop-in room where students can discuss "anything on their minds," confidential counseling, a housing file and tutoring referral. "Many students come in asking where they can find things on campus," she said. "We have most of the information so they won't have to waste time looking everywhere for their needs." Tuesday night's action was to transfer $5,000 from a reserve fund to the trailer fund, an action passed 4-1, Anderson dissenting. Final board action is expected to take place at the November 26 meeting.

these specimens, they are forbidden by law to remove anything they might find. Heading north, the third stop will be at Cedros Island, where the explorers will try to catch a glimpse of the very rare fur seal, now close to extinction. Also on hand will be an abandoned gold mine, a pine forest, and several fresh water springs. Around these springs, there is an abundance of amphibious life, including several species of frogs. The gold mine has been a favorite attraction of students during the past. The pine forest contains one of the most beautiful species of deer, the Cedros Island deer. Tidal pools teeming with life surround Cedros Island. Many small tropical fish, species of crabs, starfish, and· other
plants and animals are visible, trapped until the tide returns. San Martin Island is the last stop for the travelers. Of volcanic origin, this island is honeycombed with caves, some reaching lengths of several hundred meters . Harbor seals and brown pelicans encase the island in natural beauty. Students taking Biology 99 will get a grade based on a field notebook that they compile during the trip. Many photographs are included in most of the notebooks. Anyone desiring more information on this trip may contact Bostic in LS-12, or look at the display on a wall of the life science building.

Mt. San Antonio site of today's CC finals Mt. San Antonio College is the site of today's Southern California Cross Country Finals, at which the Comets will attempt to advance to the state level. Leading the Comets will be Humberto Barajas, Randy Fain, Chris Harmon, Steve Ball, Matt Walker, Todd Gordon and Mike Morasco. In the conference meet, held November 1, Barajas and Walker set lifetime bests of 19:49 and 20:30, respectively. The Comets also placed third in the conference, trailing Grossmont and Citrus by a moderate margin.
Coming to the Comets from the armed services are Wayne Nickerson and Pete Samhammer. The Comets' first five matches are all against teams rated in the top ten in California, with their third match of the new season against defending champion, Santa Ana. "We've got a tough schedule this year, and the primary reason is to prepare our kids for top flight competition," said John Woods, wrestling coach . Hopeful of a spot in the top ten, Woods discussed some of the problems that hampered last year's team, and prevented them from taking the California state championship. "A big problem was a lack of depth. Injuries really hurt us last year. However, we've got good depth in all positions, with the starters barely being able to beat out their replacements," explained Woods. "This year, we're aiming for State, and all of our matches are to prepare us for that eventuality," said Woods, a three-~ time All-American wrestler at California State Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo. Next week, the grapplers head up against powerful Mt. San Antonio College at Mt. SAC. The lineup for today's match against Fullerton will be: Terry Drew, 118; Kim Cline, 126; Danny Fields, 134; Mark McAnnally, 142; Pete Samhammer, 150; Don Barrios, 158; Larry Christman, 167; Mike Karges, 177; Warren Nikuls, 190; and Joe Cascioppo, 198.

**** Well, the ASG has done it again. Had I known that a reserved parking space was one of the myriad benefits of election to the ASG, I might have tried to get elected myself. Is the time of any ASGmember, who'll use the five specially marked spaces near the men's locker building, so valuable that they can't grab for spaces like the rest of us? It seems I read about our president, ASG that is, complaining about the parking situation recently. What a simple expedient for him to just paint several spaces with the ASG initials. I just thought I'd bring to the attention

These unusual craft items are exhibited through the courtesty of Palomar student Rebecca Rands. The oil paintings on the back wall of the reading room in the library were painted by Florine Atkinson, continuing education instructor.

Can anyone suggest a solution to the problem of noise in the school library? It is quite the noisiest library I have experienced, including high school libraries. Often it is quite impossible to study there. Many students use the library for discussing homework and others just for socializing - why can 't these people have the manners to go elsewhere, e.g. the student union? I have used the suggestion box in the library as a means of airing this grievance but with no result. Perhaps the head Librarian doesn't care or is too weak to do anything about it. In any case it is interesting to note that the library staff themselves are among the worst offenders! P.D.
Already assured of third place in the Mission Conference, the Comet water poloists will host Southwestern today to close out the season. The watermen will enter the contest with a 4-2 record (10-6 overall) in conference play. Last Tuesday Tony Nelson led the Comets to a 6-3 victory over Chaffey by scoring three times, assisting once and intercepting three Panther pas-ses. Leading scorer, Bob Maag, upped his seasonal goal output to 48 with two scores. Randy Moss threw in the remaining tally. One week ago the poloists entered the Cypress Tournament and were eliminated after two defeats. On Friday they fell to Ventura, 8-4, in the first round . Matt Rielly, Jerry Boosinger, Glen Duncan and Nelson scored one goal apiece. Orange Coast dumped the locals, 11-4, in the consolation bracket on Saturday. Maag scored twice while Nelson and Boosinger added one each. ·
'Puff, puff powder people triumph, 14-0 Palomar's powder puff footballers proved they can be as competitive as their male counterparts as they nailed MiraCosta to a 14-0 defeat November 7 at Palomar. First scoring was a result of a quarterback keeper by Sandy Muse as she dashed 10 yards for a touchdown. Muse then scored a two point conversion on an endaround play from the five yard line. In the second quarter a good defensive battle took place with neither team scoring. Louise Larson ripped off a key interception in the third quarter , which her teammates parlayed into a scoring situation . Maria Manibog, who earlier had run 78 yards for a touchdown only to have it called back by an illegal motion call, took the recovered ball15 yards on a wide sweep. Venita Garcia finished the drive by running it right up the middle for the second touchdown.
Woman's field hockey team protests 2-1 loss Referees disallowed a goal as Palomar's women's field hockey team suffered their first defeat of the season to San Diego State, 2-1, November 7. A protest has been registered concerning the questionability of the goal which Maria Manibog scored from a penalty corner. Referees decided, after they had already signaled a goal, that Manibog was outside the scoringcircle. With one minute left in the game, Tracey Jeffrey scored the only Palomar goal with an assist from Estela Ramirez. Defensively for the Comets, an outstanding game were played by Rae Ann Maxwell, fullback, and Valerie Sherriff, fullback. Palomar's season record is 5 wins, 1 loss.
