Student center plans pending in legislature When students come back to school in the fall of 1977, the student union and rooms R-1 through R-5 will have a new look. But what this new look will be has yet to be decided by the Associated Student Government's student legislature. "The student legislature was working on this project all summer," said ASG president G. "Sweed" Swanson. "At that time we were working towards a deadline , but now that deadline has been lifted ." Basic plans for changes include F-llA and F-11 B which will return to classroom use (these rooms are currently used by the Black Student Alliance and the American Indian Organization.). The washrooms will double in size and rooms R-1 through R-5 will be for general
Comfort talks at MiraCosta Dr. Alex Comfort, biologist and author of The Joy of Sex and More Joy, will speak at MiraCosta College October 15 at 8 p.m. Dr. Comfort's career has been spent at University College, London, where he was first Nuffield Research Fellow, then head of the Medical Research Council on aging, and the first to receive a London DSC in gerontology. He is now a resident Fellow at the Institute for Higher Studies in Santa Barbara, as well as professor in the department of pathology at UC Irvine and lecturer of Psychiatry at Stanford. First known as a novelist and poet and then for an unfashionable but prophetic antimilitarism and social anarchism of the psychiatric rather than the revolutionary school, he has been called an anti-Marxist Marcuse. Among his early controversial books were expositons of the relationship between delinquency and the wish to govern, and of the likely effects of reliable contraception on sexual mores. Meanwhile, he pioneered the science of gerontology in England, and received the CIBA Foundation prize in 1959 for his researches, in 1969 the Karger Memorial prize followed. A Good Age, Comfort's new book, came out this fall and he has begun a study of the biology of religion, inspired by the similarities which he sees between religions of the past and religious growth movements in California, a study which begins with the nature of the experience of 1-ness. For Comfort, art, religion, revolution and scientific research are all basic human behaviors accessible to a synoptic combination of feeling and thinking. He sees all his activities as part of the whole, and likens himself to the progeny of the cross between the elephant and the parrot - "They don't know what to call it, but when it talks, they listen."
student use yet to be determined. The Graphic Arts department and Telescope office will be moved to relocatable classrooms. Construction on these plans will take place over the summer. "Actually the student legis lature does not make the final decision. The ASG was asked to make a recommendation to the Administrative Council. Then the trt)Verning Board will make the final decision, " explained Barbara Parton, ASG vice president. Various plans for the renovation have been submitted to the studentlegislature by clubs and interest groups on campus . " I believe the legislature should be able to grapple with this problem and deal with the various groups involved, but a decision should be made soon," stated Swanson. Students interested in attending meetings dealing with these plans may receive information in the ASG office, room R-3. Night student involvement is another concern of Parton. During last week she met with night students and faculty to discuss ideas for improvement. "I would really like to improve night communication with day in order to provide students with easier access to the services that are available during the day," Parton said. Parton is interested in all students' opinions on this project. Her office hours are from 6 p.m. on every night in the Student Activities Office.

SONGS, LEGENDS PRESERVE BLACK PAST
. h. I Nairobian wranglers Sing lsfory
Black cowboys sing their history under the name of "The N airobian Wranglers" next Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. in the Dome. The group is the combined talent and charm of Cecil Williams, Curtis Slaughter and Robert McGee - none of whom is an authentic cowboy. A genuine guitar plunking, horseriding, tale-telling, cowboy enthusiast, Cecil Williams seizes any opportunity to talk about "the old days" of the colorful west. However, by trade he is a cartographer at the United States Geological Survey in East Palo Alto. Wrangler announcer Curtis Slaughter is percussionist and harmonica player. A psychiatric/House counselor at a Belmont halfway house, Slaughter originally joined the group to go "along
for the ride" because of his fascination with black mountain men and a man called "W arhoop." Will "W arhoop" Davis was actually the founding member of the wranglers and until his death last year entertained many with his intricate rope tricks and tales of his adventures in the early west. The third Wrangler (and owner of McGee's Barber Shop in Palo Alto) is Robert McGee playing an old fashioned guitar. Despite the media's (television, film and history books) attempt to have us believe otherwise, there were many black cowboys. For instance, bulldogging, a form of steer wrestling where the cowboy wrestles the steer to the ground nose up, was started by Bill Pickett, a black man who added his own special
Mrs. Ruth Carter Stapleton, sister of presidential candidate Jimmy Carter, will be speaking in the Student Union October 16 from 7-8 p.m. Following her touch to bulldogging by biting the steer talk will be a question and answer on the nose. When Will Rogers was riding, he was period. Elections will be held the last week in Bill Pickett's helper. Williams also noted that "Tom Mix used to help too. But if October for three seats on the you ever see the movies , Bill Pickett Legislature Council. For more informawasn't ever in there. That's why we have tion contact the Associated Students office, Room R-3. to keep these songs going."

Sex discrimination in athletics ended By Erin Thien Equal rights for women in the area of athletics has been a topic of discussion and concern for several vP~r" . Now with the passage of Title IX, sex discrimination should no longer exist on school campuses. "We've been pretty fortunate at Palomar," said Vi Jeffery, women's athletic direction. "Our athletic program had been moving in this direction for the past few years. However, without Title IX the pace was slow and with it things can move a little faster." "What we've done is try to work within the time limits set by legislation to set equal programs. This doesn't mean we can make the programs equal in a single
year. It is a much bigger issue, " said Gene Jackson, assistant dead of student affairs and chairman of the Title IX committee. The major problem is in the area of facilities and fields. Soccer, field hockey and softball teams use the same fields . Practice schedules are also conflicting in the Dome with two basketball teams and volleyball. "Our present facilities are overtaxed with conflicts between physical education classes and athletic team practices. To add more sports at this time would present a real problem," Jackson said. Women athletics already have their own budget and are governed by the same rules as the men for lodging and meals.
"The separate budgets for athletics is fairly recent, around the second year in operation," stated Jackson. New sports and plans for adding another coach to women's athletics for next year depends on growth and budget, according to Jackson . "Title IX underscores the direction which our school has been moving in on its own coalition. The PE and Athletic Departments have taken steps on their own and believe in this concept. So far, there haven't been any huge, dramatic changes, but a lot of subtle ones," commented Jackson. In an effort to equalize the programs, a new coach was added to the women's staff last year. Previously coaching at

Hockey team to face Mesa With only four returning sophomores, the women's field hockey team is looking forward to a rebuilding season. The sophomores and their positions are Fran Rowland, link; Leah Cullum, forward; Stacy Herther, link; and Grace Ramirez, sweep. "These players make a good nucleus to work around. The rest of the team is new, but have the skills to make a successful team. It's just a matter of putting it all together," stated coach Vi Jeffery. At the beginning of the season the major problem will be the position of goalie. "One problem we've been working on is our goalie. None of our players have ever played that position. Three weeks ago I just picked out Erin Laird to try the job and she's doing a good job and learning fast," Jeffery said. Participating in the San Diego Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, the team meets with Mesa Tuesday in an away game at 3:30p.m. "Barring injuries and illnesses, we should have a good season. We only have 11 players, but the caliber of the players is good," stated Jeffery.
New club forming Students interested in anthropology and archaeology are invited to the fonnative meeting of the Palomar Anthropology Club. The meeting will take place Wednesday at 3 p.m. in P-22. Club fonnat and a discussion of the club activities will be developed. A few of the activities already proposed include field trips, the presentation of films and guest speakers, and the dissemination of up-to-date information on the planned Palomar Anthropology Museum and Laboratory Facilities. Finally, members will have an opportunity to regularly communicate with other students interested in anthropology and archaeology, interchange ideas, be kept up to date on important anthropological events, and be infonned as to ongoing San Diego County archaeology.
Feeling that the women athletes don't realize the potential of Title IX, Barbara Parton, a bowling team member, urges the students to show their support of the new law. "You can always get the staff to do something without student demand. Equalization of the programs will help strengthen the women's athletics and maybe increase the participation," stated Parton . "We weren't having much trouble before Title IX at this community college, but in some areas we have a long way to go and we can use Title IX to implement it. Other community colleges have had to fight a battle, but in an overall view, we've got it made here" said Jeffery. '

UCSD tonight in volleyball Optimistic a bout improving last year's 8-7 record , the women's volleyball team, 2-1,hosts University of CaliforniaSan Diego tonight at 6:30 p.m. in the Dome. "I haven't seen UCSD yet this year, but in the past they have had a very experienced team. They seem to have an offensive team with older, experienced players," stated coach Teri McFarland. Out of a team of 12, there are only three returning sophomores on the Palomar team. These returnees are hitter Darcy Inman and setters Mar alee O'Meara and Sue Reich . "We have 12 good players and our starting lineup may never be the same twice," McFarland said. Freshmen on the team are hitters Joy Stafford, Jo Ann Nelson, and Patti Valentine; setters Linda Robbins and Lori Schwalbach; and defensive specialists Suzy McKown, Julie Smiley, Salley Gonzales and Valerie Moore. "Most schools always seem to be hurting for setters, which will give us an advantage over a lot of people," stated McFarland. "I expect we'll be a good defensive team. We have a lot of good, scrappy people in the backcourt." Next on the schedule for the volleyball squad is a match Monday at Southwestern and then it's back home Wednesday against MiraCosta at 6:30 p.m.
the high school level, Teri McFarland feels the impact of Title IX affected high schools more than the community colleges. "I think one of the best things about Title IX is equal financing for men's and women ·s sports. At the high school level this made a big difference," McFarland said. However, McFarland feels that not all classes should necessarily be co-ed. "'When some classes turn co-ed they could drop in quality. Sometimes, men would like to play harder, while the women stress drills," commented McFarland. "If there is too much conflict, nothing will get accomplished and the students may not take any more classes."
