As a result of frequent student requests, the library now keeps an important multi-volume reference book called the College Blue Book. This expensive set is important for Palomar students who are facing decisions regarding transfer to a four year college. It provides a descriptive summary, as well as course information regarding almost every four-year college in the US.

Jones questions legality of student assembly adion registration. This was recommended after the representatives heard a request by Dean of Student Activities Crl!ne Jackson to endorse giving priority registration to intercollegiate athletes. The reason for the request was the difficulty of incoming freshman athletes who have problems resolving their athletic practices with their class schedules.
ASG President Jerry Jones last Thursday questioned the constitutionality of the Assembly action in the previous meeting that discharged the former ASG Judiciary. "The Student Assembly acted without giving the three judicial advocates hearings. I think it is undemocratic to remove them without such a hearing." He went on to say that he would request that the new judiciary rule on the legality of the action in order to a void such incidents cropping up again.

"The action of the Assembly was actually a form of impeachment and you cannot impeach a person without giving him a fair hearing," Jones concluded.
Cathy Scanlon, graduating student of the Music Department, will present an organ and piano concert tonight at 8 p.m. in C-5. Selections for piano will include compositions by Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Poulenc, and Bartok. On organ she will perform compositions by Bach and Sower by. There will be no admission charge and the public is invited.
David Terrazas, a member of the Assembly, stated that he felt that the Assembly was regaining power that had been lost by encroachments of the executive branch. Ken Knight, also a member of the Assembly, stated "I felt that the Judiciary Advocates were not doing their jobs, which are to provide legal interpretation, since they have not attended the Assembly meetings."
Project Palomar, a committee whose goal is to raise money for a child care center on campus, has incurred a debt of approximately $8000 since it began operation in the summer. This loss of funds resulted from three events sponsored by the Associated Student Government which did not live up to expectations. The first event, and the largest contributor to the debt, was the "CountryWestern Night" which occurred early in the semester. There was a much smaller attendance than anticipated and a net loss of $4,294.76. According to Crl!ne Jackson, dean of student activities, this was a very unlikely occurrence as he and the ASG had been assured that this type of concert was usually very profitable. A music festival, held later in the semester, which featured marching bands that performed during halftime of the Palomar football games, lost $3,597.78 . Once again the problem was lack of attendance, as well as the fact that very large cash awards were offered to the competing bands in order to induce them to perform. The awards were paid , but the gate receipts failed to make up the loss. The final and smallest loss was incurred when the Jaguar automobile door prize, which was originally intended to be given away at the Fall Fling, failed to sell enough tickets. The ASG was forced to sell the car back to the Jaguar dealer, Garton Motors of Escondido, at a slight loss since the car was now used. The original price of the auto was $9,556.88. The dealer paid $7,500. However, it should be noted that approximately $700 in sales tax will probably be refunded by the state. Since ambitious projects have tended to lose money , the Project Palomar Committee has decided to concentrate on smaller money-making endeavors that will involve little or no chances of risk. One such activity was a dance in the Student Union December 7 which grossed approximately $75. There will be many such dances in the future, as well as other activities. On January 4, the Fall Fling will take place. It is a combination all-day continuous concert and carnival, with the proceeds going to the depleted Project Palomar fund. Jim Truman, the chairman of the committee , is still confident. "I think the interest in the child care center is still

Ben Gill is looking for anyone who is interested in helping with the planting of trees and various duties in Palomar's Arboretum over Christmas vacation. "We need student help to get the many phases of the project done. Over Christmas vacation, we will be clearing away brush, loading it to be hauled away, and spreading compost material." If you would like to help out, contact Gill in the ASG office, R-3, or leave a message in his mail box there.
there; the credibility with the communitv is still there . But now we are becoming ~ore student oriented. That may have been our mistake in the past; counting too much on the community. We are gaining more cooperation from the clubs and organizations on campus now, and much of that was not present earlier." Jackson expressed a slightly less optimistic opinion. " I think it is obvious that the ASG is not going to be able to ra ise the money for a child care center by itself. I hope that the district will support it, because it will take th e decision of the Board of Governors before it can be built."
Medieval, Renaissance , Baroque and contemporary music will be uniquely presented here by the John Biggs Consort January 6 at 8 p.m. in room P-32. The group, performers who have been featured in films, will play and sing the music of many centuries.

The program is part of the Palomar College music series, sponsored by the Department of Community Services. Admission, to those not holding series tickets, is $2, or $1 for students and .(K>ld Card holders.
The chairman of the Assembly, Eric Christiansen, said that he looked forward to a ruling from the Judiciary on the constitutionality of the act.

Reports oHer job tipS for college grads Editor's note: This is the second of a three-part series concerning today's college education. By Diane Slezak When various news reports increasingly predict the continuing devaluation of a college diploma, it'~ no wonder that many students' aspirations are dropping lower than their grade point averages. It's rather depressing to invest in a proposition where the odds keep falling year after year, as college graduates in the job market are discovering. But some reports, instead of concentrating only on disheartening statistics, offer some tips on launching a good career following graduation .. Changing Times Magazine surveyed 79 companies as to their openings for last spring's graduates. In the survey, several important factors were revealed: The greatest demand among graduates is for those with an engineering degree. 80 percent of the companies questioned had job openings for engineering majors. Business and accounting majors are next in demand with 68 percent. Science and math majors are requested by 53 percent of the firms, while liberal arts majors are rock bottom at 27 percent. - Not only are engineering majors most in demand, the need is up three percent over last year. By contrast, the only drop was registered in liberal arts, down five percent. - Having good grades was listed as the most important criterion by the companies surveyed. Many prefer only those graduates who were in the top third of their class. - Reader's Digest reports the way those grades are made is equally important. They say too many "Mickey Mouse" courses are likely to place a graduate toward the bottom of the job list. Following grades, other important criteria were specific career goals, extracurricular activities and work experience during college. Company recruiters say this is how a graduate's maturity, motivation and leadership ability is measured. In addition, Reader's Digest reports "Your chances are better if you attend a large university or one with a high academic reputation, since each recruiter can visit only some 300 of the more than 2000 colleges in the nation." Now you know what companies look for in graduates. What can you do while still in college to help yourself compete successfully later in the job market? College placement directors offer the following advice : - Decide on a career early. Often, if you can't decide, it is helpful to take a year off to travel or explore various job (Continued on page 2)

By Carl Raedeker "We must have done something right," remarked Comet basketball coach Andy Gilmour after watching his team struggle to a 71-58 victory over a weak Rio Hondo team last Wednesday in the Dome. The triumph extended Palomar's winning streak to six games. They are now 83 in nonconference action. Obviously Gilmour wasn't pleased with his team's sluggish performance. Although the Comets made 53 percent of their field goals, the~· were undisciplined, weak on rebounding and "lethargic on defense", according to Gilmour. But there always seems to be one player who holds the team together. This time it was freshman guard Lewis Montgomery who kept the locals on top in the crucial final half. The play of Montgomery, who scored 19 points, 16 in the final half, was the only thing that pleased Gilmour. With the Comets leading 49-44 with 6:15 remaining, Montgomery scored on a follow shot, a short range jumper and a free throw to ignite a scoring burst in which the Comets outscored Rio Hondo 14-2 to put the gameoutofreach at63-48. Henry Walther and Chuck Zinky each contributed 13 points, while Tim Ness and Bill Beckford added nine apiece. Beckford replaced Kevin Doyle, who didn't play because of disciplinary reasons. Over the vacation Palomar will play in the Santa Monica Tournament December 26-28, at Saddleback on January 4, here against Grossmont on January 8. In the opening round of the Mid State Tournament in San Luis Obispo December 12, the Comets made 52 percent of their shots to rout College of the Canyons, 75-51. In the first half the locals employed a slowdown type of offensive attack to take a 27-19 halftime advantage. After intermission the Comets came out running and scored 48 points, many of those coming on fast break situations. Walther's 14 points led the five Palomar players who hit double figures. Dean Zinky contributed 13 tallies, Chuck Zinky and Montgomery each added 12 and Ness hit 10. On Friday night, the Comets faced Cal Poly San Luis Obispo's junior varsity squad and advanced to the finals with a 59-58 triumph. Montgomery scored on a layup to give the locals a 59-56 margin with 1:45 remaining. Cal Poly then cut the lead to one, but missed two shots in the waning moments to fall in defeat. Chuck Zinky paced Comet scorers with 14 points. Montgomery followed with 10 and Ness added nine. In the championship contest on Saturday night, the locals engaged in a seesaw battle with Cuesta and eventually came out victorious, 63-59. After trailing 36-34 at halftime, Palomar pulled in front and stayed that way until Cuesta recaptured the lead, 5756, with 6:49 remaining. The Comets then reeled off five straight points and held on to win their seventh out of their last eight outings. Walther, who- was game high scorer with 20 points, was named the tournament's most valuable · player. Chuck Zinky also made the six-man all-tourney squad.

Coach John Woods, considers his team captain "An exceptional wrestler who has a tremendous attitude toward wrestling. He is a good team leader and generates enthusiasm all around." During his high school career at Grossmont, Drew attained a record of 80 wins against zero league losses in four years of varsity wrestling. During his last two years at Grossmont he was undefeated. During one summer he had the fortune to help represent San Diego high schools against the World Championship Japanese team and also the Korean national wrestling team. Against the world champion in the 95 pound division, Drew was defeated, 10-1. In 1971 he tried out for the Olympic wrestling team, but was defeated in two straight matches. During his high school career Drew received many honors. The San Diego Union named him as a "Prep Athlete of the Week," and he received the Ken Laney $100 Perpetual Award.
