College faces annexation dilemma By Dave Reynolds Since the defeat of the North County Community College District plan during the March election, Palomar and MiraCosta colleges h ave been facing a dilemma - Which community college district will annex San Dieguito High School? Problems originally arose when an order from the Chancellor's office in Sacramento stated th at any non-community college district areas be incorporated into an existing district by September of 1975. San Dieguito h appens to lie in non-district territory contiguous to Palomar and MiraCosta. At this time there has been no indication from San Dieguito which district they wish to join. Three possibilities for solving this dilemma exist: Palomar can a nn ex San Dieguito directly; MiraCosta can a nnex San Dieguito directly; or San Dieguito voters can hold a special election to decide which district they wish to join. "There are a number of steps which h ave a lready bee n tak en . ... " said Dr. Frederick R. Huber, presi-
dent of Palomar. "Th e first one has to do with the fact that following the defeat of the North County District, a letter was written to a ll of the affected districts, including MiraCosta, suggesting that we meet to talk abo ut next steps. "These meetings have been held ... Representatives of our board and I met with MiraCosta. Representatives of our board and I then met with Ramona-Julian !Borrego was not present). Representatives of MiraCosta a nd Palomar met with San Dieguito representatives. "Th e second step came when the San Dieguito representatives s uggested that MiraCosta and Palomar try and develop a plan or program, which they would agree upon ,to present to San Dieguito," said Dr. Huber. "Th e third step cam e when the Board of Governors (th e Ch ancellor's office) suggested that h opefull y it would be resolved before it com es to them in September for resolu tion. "Th e fourth step is that MiraCosta has developed some 'A rticles of Agreement' which in-
elude their willingness to release students from San Dieguito to come to Palomar if San Dieguito annexed to MiraCosta. "Furthermore, they would be willing to pay the cost of education for these students," said Dr. Huber. " However, MiraCosta has not agreed whether or not they would also pay what is known as the 'Seat Tax' , which is a use of facility fee. Because we have been receiving from San Dieguito and the other districts about $1,300,000 for the number of students who come here for their education , our board is saying that we wish to be paid that same amount of money if San Dieguito joins Mira Costa. "Some of the items that MiraCosta has indicated in their proposal are not satisfactory at the present time, because it eliminates a number of students for which they wish to pay . For example ," explained Dr. Huber , "at the present time we have a fairly free exch ange of students . We don 't bill each other for summer session students or veterans. We don't bill each other for a number of other areas. They
are suggesting that these same exceptions be included in the agreement. "But the indication so far, is that it's one thing when we're talking about approximately $30,000 (present contract). But when we're talking about $1,300,000, that does not seem to be reasonable. So the representatives of our board have indicated that they feel that the exch ange of students should involve the fu ll cost. "One other factor is athletic eligibility. Normally , under an inter-district transfer . .. students from MiraCosta wishing to come here to take a class cannot take their athletic eligibility with them. That has now been clarified by the State Athletic Committee. Students from a territory, such as San Dieguito, no matter what district San Dieguito joined, would be eligible for athletics," said Dr. Huber. "Furthermore, the state ruling says that a student from a territory may attend any of the three nearest community colleges and be eli_gible for (Continued on oage 2)

Each person has a chance to progress at his own pace with specialized reading equipment, something Palomar has not had before. "There is one problem everybody has , the unstoppable rising flood of the written word, " says instructor Stan Levy. You must learn to read better because there is so much reading to do in school and life. Efficient reading consists of many different skills. These various skills are explained in our reading courses. " This is not a $500 readi n g co urse , but an individualized class worth three units." Levy is excited abo ut helping others comprehend th e world of the written word. His classes revolve around special eq uipment as well as his person-toperson touch of knowledge . Reading Improvement a nd Power Reading are interestingly fresh classes with the reader in mind. Contact Stan Levy, Reading Instructor, Q-9, ext. 284.

With a 4-3 victory over San Diego Mesa College May 8, the Palomar women's tennis squad nabbed the San Diego Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Association community college championship. The Comets completed the league season with an 8-1 record, finishing second to San Diego State, but first in the community college standings.
Peer will lead the Comets as they travel to Los Angeles this weekend to compete in the Southern California Community College Intercollegiate Athletic Conference tennis tournament.
The decision for the championship came down to the final match of the day, as Comet number two singles player Janis Johnson came from behind to beat Mesa's Cindy Sarten 4-6, 6-1, 6-3.
Peer, who was seeded number one, edged UCSD's Ellen Cates 6-3, 5-7, 6-3 to gain the SDWIAA title. Her win-loss record so far this year is 21-2.
Melana Peer, Terry Bowman and Jeri Hogen also scored victories in the win over Mesa. The Comet women lost an early-season practice match with Mesa, 6-1.
The doubles team of Erin Hickox and Kathy Lebedeff advanced to the semifinals before being defeated by a San Diego State team 2-6, 6-3, 2-6. Terry Bowman was runnerup in the consolation singles finals, losing 6-2, 4-6, 1-6 in the final match.
The Mesa triumph climaxed a week of matches, most of which were rescheduled from earlier dates due to rain.

Coach Nan Haugen singled out the performances of singles players Bowman and Hogen in the Grossmont match. Both captured their matches after three sets, with Bowman slipping by Debbie Stensahe 7-6, 4-6, 6-1 and Hogen edging Norella Campbell4-6, 6-2, 6-3. Peer and Johnson also recorded singles victories.

SAN DIEGUITO UPDATE (Continued from page 1) athletics.In San Dieguito's case, students can participate in the Palomar, MiraCosta or San Diego Mesa athletic programs. "There is the one overwhelming, indisputable fact that 90% of the San Diegui to students attend Palomar College," said Huber, "and that they want to continue to attend Palomar College." John McDonald, president of MiraCosta College, stated that the MiraCosta "Articles of Agreement" give the basic position of OceansideCarlsbad on the annexation of San Dieguito. The first of the six articles deals with a guarantee of a free-flow of students, without an inter-district permit, between North County community college. The second article states that MiraCosta agrees to pay for the cost of educating those students who transfer to other districts. The third article says that a present member of the MiraCosta Board of Governors would resign immediately, giving San Dieguito immediate representation on the board. Article four states that the Board of Governors would be enlarged from five to seven members, including one member from San Dieguito. The fifth article, regarding athletic eligibility, has already been enacted by the state. The final "Article of Agreement" would initiate day classes in the San Dieguito area by the beginning of the 1976 school year. The purpose of these articles is to

create the best educational situation, said McDonald, and to allow the students the same freedom of enrollment as they currently enjoy. Since 90 percent of the San Dieguito area students attend Palomar, McDonald indicated that if San Dieguito were annexed to MiraCosta, the flow would level off.

Coach Mike Curran was very pleased with the results. "We pulled a tremendous upset," he said. "This is the first time Pal01·~ar has ever brought home a team trophy ... We only had those four guys, too (Hansson, Wallin, Peet and Hulbert). A lot of teams had up to 11 (players)." Curran singled out the play of Peet and Hulbert as an outstanding effort. "They deserve a lot of credit. It was amazing for an unseeded team to pull that many upsets. Everyone at the tournament said the same thing." Peet and Hulbert, unseeded, defeated the number 12 seed from LA City and the sixth-seeded team from Long Beach City in their climb to the quarterfinals. San Diego City won the team title with 33 points. Pierce was second with 15, Palomar third with 11, LA City fourth with eight, while Fullerton rounded out the top five with five points.

Other top efforts by the Comets included McClure's 47-9 triple jump, Jorgensen's 14-6 pole vault and Barajas's 9:18.9 two-mile. The team of McMahon, Gus Bregy, Gordon and Matt Walker clocked 10:38.9 in the distance medley relay. McMahon was timed in 50.6 for his leadoff 440.
