Mark Good was an easy winner for the office of ASG president in last week's elections. Good received 241 votes, easily defeating his nearest opponent, Charles Matanane who gained 41 votes. Matanane was closely followed by Marc O'Dell with 37 votes. Good is 23 years old and served two years in the Air Force before coming to Palomar. He ran on a platform of bringing harmony and organization to a student government ~hat was being disrupted by "personality conflicts." He feels that the failure of Project Palomar, which is responsible for the main portion of the ASG$10,000 deficit, was in part caused by disharmony between the administrative branch and the Student Assembly. It will be recalled that the student assembly was not consulted in regards to certain expenditures made during the summer. "There are a lot of things that could have come to be that did not, because good ideas were opposed on the basis of
RUN ENDS TOMORROW
Critic lauds ~Becket' by David Ross "Becket," Jean Anouilh's magnum opus of the historical love-hate relationship between King Henry II of England and Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, is a vehicle that an amateur theatre group launches with care. Handled badly, such a cerebral play can highlight the shabbiness of inept players. Given the treatment it deserves, "Becket" can become a savory experience indeed. Fortunately, here the latter was the case. The performance of the Palomar Theatre Arts Department renders unto Anouilh his just portion. Directed bv instructor Buddy Ashbrook, the production concludes its run tonight and tomorrow at 7:30p.m. in P-33. . The cast is competent and the direction (with some exceptions that will be duly noted) is good. The sets · are uninspired, but considering the great number of scene changes conducted throughout, more than adequate. However, one member of the cast, Dean Richardson, who plays Henry II, is an actor of such power and depth that "Becket" enters a realm of excellence usually reserved for the professional theater. Richardson is a performer who must be seen to be believed. That an actor of such talent is to be found in a small campus theater group like Palomar's is something for which we may give thanks. He captures perfectly the restless energy, imperious nature and
William Windom will bring his oneman portrayal of James Thurber, noted American humorist, to the Dome on Wednesday at 8 p.m. Windom's presentation, part of the Palomar-MiraCosta Bicentennial Series, covers the foibles and the peculiar slant of life that was Thurber's trademark. "Windom is an actor of national prominence, and has done a number of things in show business. He has many credits in motion pictures, television, and has credits in 18 plays," said Dr. Theodore Kilman, head of the Palomar Community Services Department. Windom is best known for his Emmyaward-winning performance as Thurber in NBC's "My World and Welcometolt", a series that ran in 1969-70. This series, based entirely on the prose, drawings, and critical essays of Thurber, was entirely a biography of the humorist. "The 'Secret Life of Walter Mitty' touched a nerve, fed a need and has been a private oasis for me since I was 15. The charm, wit and truth of Thurber's work unfolded slowly to me for the next 30 years ... My association with 'My World and Welcome to It' whetted my appetite for a purer version of the commercial product that was captured on film," said Windom. Thurber said of himself, "Thurber's life baffles and irritates the biographer, because of its lack of design. One has the disturbing feeling that the man contrived to be someplace without actually having gone there. His drawings, for example, sometimes seem to have reached completion by some other route than the one of common intent . .. In his prose pieces, he always appears to have started from the beginning and to have reached the end by way of the middle." (From Thurber's "The Thurber Carnival," published by Harper and Row in 1945.) Windom's show is the next to the last act in the Bicentennial Series. Dr. Kilman explained that the ASG and Community Services presented enter-

Debie Davis was elected treasurer unopposed. Michael Black and William Mennel each received 160 and 185 votes, respectively, to win the two seats on the Executive COuncil.

He explained that the rising inflation has forced the ASG to withdraw from this production, although Kilman wishes that the ASG would make some suggestions for future entertainers.
