Knapp leads on Baja trip Lester Knapp, Marine Biology instructor, will lead the Biology 99 class on an ocean-going trip to the Sea of Cortez on June 21-28. Capacity on board ship is limited to 20 students. Biology 99 is a two-unit class requiring no prerequisites. It is open to all students and contains areas of interest for the biology, botany, geology, and oceanography majors. This class, as Knapp puts it, "is a total living experience." Cost of the one-week trip is $288. A $100 deposit must be given to Knapp as soon as possible to pay for the boat reservation. Transportation will be provided aboard the Triton or the Poseidon . The boat will leave from San Felipe, Baja California.
Staff lectures, observation, and study will include the following areas: the general history of Baja's Gulf waters and islands ; concepts of marine biology; and introduction to the physical and chemical oceanography of Baja's waters; the history and behavior of several types of whales and sea-going mammals; general ecology of the area's fishes and birds; and many other topics. Accompanying the students will be Knapp, Margaret Stinson and Eugene Stevens. Knapp will instruct on marine life, while Stinson and Stevens will focus on land-based life. Opportunities for fishing and skin diving abound, and students are invited to bring a mask, fins , and snorkle along. For more information, those interested may contact Knapp in Staff Office Wing II #36, or Stevens in L&5.

Free Speech sector site of Clock Tower The Free Speech area was chosen as the future site of the planned Clock Tower in a recent meeting of the Administrative Council. This site was chosen as opposed to erecting the fifty foot carillo;n tower behind the R-building. The administration felt tht the clock tower would serve as a gathering place for students, wherever its location, and that it would be preferable to have them gather in the Free Speech Area. In addition, the noise of the chimes will cause less of a disturbance to classrooms in session than the alternate site. Critics of the decision object to the use of either suggested sites, arguing that a clock-tower in the Free Speech Area will destroy it as such . It has been suggested that the tower could be placed in the parking lot, where it will disturb no one, and will not disrupt the function of the Free Speech Area.
Mark Twain will be revisited on stage at Mira Costa College Tuesday at 8 p.m. by actor Tom Noel. The Twain presentation is the last segment of the PalomarMira Costa Bicentennial Series. Noel believes that Twain was the first swinger of this century, musically, politically and socially. Twain's humor is directed at pomposity and hypocrisy and because of this, has become universal and timeless. This one man show has received rave notices wherever it has appeared. Samples include: "Mark Twain was here, but I didn't see Tom Noel," "Made Mark Twain a real person," "He held the audience in his hand," "The versatility and expertise of Mr. Noel's performance enthralled his audience." Admission for this performance is $3 or $1.50 for ASG or gold card holders. Tickets may be purchased at either Palomar or Mira Costa prior to Tuesday, and are also available at the box office. Previous events in the Bicentennial Series included the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, September 26; "JFK: Dramatic Production," November 6; "The Open Eye: Robert Frost," January 24; "Fredd Wayne: Benjamin Franklin," February 18; "Muriel Bach: Women in History," March.31; and "William Windom: James Thurber."

Broc was educated in France and in the United States and taught French at the University of Redlands. He has served in the French Consulate since June, 1972. He will discuss political and intellectual trends in France, particularly the outlook for President Giscard d'Estaing who came to power one year ago and who has faced high rates of inflation and trade deficits. It is expected he will explain French moves to improve relations with Arab oil producing states, including the difficult case of Algeria, where the French President recently made an official visit. He will also discuss moves made by France to reduce oil imports. Broc will answer questions from the floor on these and other topics.
