Cowboys sing black history "Where are the tales of the black cowboy... ?" In the Dome tonight at 7:30 p.m. and tomorrow at 11 a.m.! Legends and songs of the black cowboy and mountain men will be presented by the N airobian Wranglers, three men with a desire to inform people about history which has been unpublicized. Admission is $.50. Harmonica player and percussionist, Curtis Slaughter, is Wrangler announcer part-time. Full-time, he is a psychiatric house counselor at a Belmont, California Halfway House. Like the others, Slaughter joined the group because of his fascination with a man called "W arhoop" and the mountain men. Guitar plunking tale telling Cecil Williams loves to relate stores of the "good old days". His trade is cartography at the U .S. Geological Survey in East Palo Alto, California. Playing an old fashioned guitar, is Robert McGee of McGee's Barber Shop in Palo Alto. Stories include "bulldogging" inventor Bill Picket, and Will "Warhoop" Davis along with other mountain men. The Nairobian Wranglers travel to schools and community groups, telling stories and singing original songs about the black westerners. They strum their guitars like the cowboys of old, and one of the members even plays the spoons. They sing about the Black trailblazers, some 10,000 of them, who roamed the country after the Civil War. They sing about the black men who rode the rodeo circuit, the black miners and the black pony express riders, and about the black women who played a vital part in this era of American tradition. Williams iB concerned that when people go to the movies, they only see white cowboys." All of us, blacks as well as whites, should learn history as it really happened," he feels. The Nairobian Wranglers are sponBOred by the Palomar Department of Community Services, in conjunction with the college Black Studies program and the Black Students Alliance.
Based on the infamous murders of seven women in the Whitechapel district of London in 1888, Jack the Ripper was performed for the first time in the United States this summer. Director Buddy Ashbrook re-opened the play for competition in the theatre festival. A team of critic-evaluators will screen the play sometime during its run. If selected, the play will be presented at the regional competition at Cypress College in Cypress, California in February. Entire companies of the ten regional winners will then fly to Washington, D.C., for the deciding round of competition. Minor changes have been made since the summer, but the cast of 24 includes many seasoned actors and actresses. Behind the scenes are 80 production people and members of the Speech and Theatre Arts departments. Among them are: musical director, Robert Gilson; choreographer, Sue Gilson; vocal director, Richard Lane; and technical director, David Boyd. All have worked with Ashbrook and the cast in putting on the show. A four piece orchestra accompanies the cast in performing 19 songs. After Jack the Ripper, the Drama Department will direct its attention toward the October 28 and 29 showing of Tennessee Williams' play, Camino Real.

By Mary Dickinson El Palomar the Dove Roost, Palomar's College's cafeteria, has undergone many innovations since last spring~ But, to an untrained eye, the newest change is not easily discernible. When you walk into the cafeteria or snack bar, it is now possible to pick up a cup of coffee and donut and not stand in line behind someone who is buying a complete meal. You can "scramble" to the cash register after picking up your items. Called the "Scramble Method", this new form of individuality is meeting some resistance from students who are used to standing in lines and who don't know the method. "We want to let the students know about it, so they can be in and out faster," said Mrs. Virginia Dower, bookstore manager. "The only backups are at 11 and 12 a .m., but generally a person can go through in less than ten minutes." The hungry students aren't the only ones scrambling around. The student cashiers, in coping with the new system and the start of the school year, have some hectic times too. Kathy Joor, cashier, commented, "Ten minutes before the hour there is a giant rush." The cashiers don't know all the prices yet and some aren't permanently situated she said. The cafeteria has taken on a new look with the construction of the Timber Room in the south end of the building. The room is the first major chimge in the cafeteria in 20 years, said Mrs. Dower, and one a lot of students aren't aware of. The room, which has several
forensics team third in US Intercollegiate Sweepstalces Palomar placed third in the U.S. Intercollegiate Forensics Sweepstakes for the year 19'75-1976. The recent announcement was made at the fall meeting held at Cal Poly, Pomona, where Dr. Jack Howe, California State University at Long Beach, presented Palomar Forensics coaches Ray Dahlin and Pat Schwerdtfeger with the third place plaque. The award was based on the number of tournaments attended in relationship to the number of tournaments won. During
FILING DEADLINE TODAY
ASG plans election, assembly By Erin Thien Elections for the student legislature and a student assembly highlight the activities planned for Homecoming Week, October 25-30. Deadline for filing a petition of intent to run for the student legislature is today. These forms may be obtained in the Student Activities Office. Three seats are available on the student legislature which meets Thursdays at 7 p.m. Candidates must be enrolled in 12 units with a 2.0 grade point average, not on academic probation and should be able to attend the weekly meetings. Election booths will be set up in the Student Union Monday through Friday, October 25-29, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Monday through Thursday, 6 to 8 p.m. "Anybody who is registered in at least one unit can vote. So please everyone, come out and vote," stated Dorothy Baker, chief judicial advocate.
Tentative plans ·for Homecoming Week also include a two day student assembly on October 27 and 28. Bob Bangle, coordinator of Homecoming, hopes to hold the assembly from 10 a.m. to 12 noon and 6 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday and from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Thursday. Classes will be cancelled. "For the complete period from October 25-28, we hope to get about five speakers at assembly, have the student legislator candidates be introduced and let the Interclub Council promote its activities," stated Bangle. "We are contacting high school bands and drill teams to see if they will perform. So there will be music and as much festivity as possible to promote both the election and Homecoming." On Friday, October 29, a plenary is scheduled. At a plenary, all students get together and hold a meeting to vote on lSSUeS.

small tables and wallpaper festooned with trees, is a designated no-smoking area. Smoking is permissible in the main cafeteria and the union. The menu has been changed and condensed too from last year. The "Good Food" section, which carried health food items such as sprouts, salads, juices, and cookies has been closed this fall. Most health foods have been incorporated into the regular menu. "The food is still there, it's just presented differently," said Terry Robl, new food service supervisor. The only "health food" missing is sprouts. Robl's goal is to eventually have sprouts grown at Palomar instead of buying them at high prices and re-selling them in the cafeteria. Cost seems to be major factor in the omission of the "Good Food" section. Its popularity steered many people away from the other areas in the cafeteria. Robl feels that removing the label ''health food", but keeping most of the items will help the other sections. Also, the area businesses supplying yogurt and juices have been slow in servicing the school. "There is a difficulty in getting health food and the prices are so high that it becomes unprofitable to buy them. For example, alfalfa sprouts sell for 95¢ a pound in the store," he said. The regular menu has not had any other changes except for the limitation of specials. The special vegetable and meals have been reduced from three to one a day. Robl feels that omitting some of the items on the menu will save money and hopefully satisfy most people.
professional parliamentarian to run this meeting. Also, we may have one mem her from each club in ICC on a steering committee to decide which issues will come to the floor," said G. "Sweed" Swanson, Associated Student Government president. Homecoming festivities will take place during halftime at the football game against Saddleback College on October 30. "To do things a little different, we are hoping to have a queen and a king at Homecoming, said Bangle. "We are contacting people in the community, like local beauty queens and professional football players, to see if they would crown the royalty, but nothing is defnite." "We plan to get the students involved in student government and the school by tying together all the activities to in· crease total student interest," said Bangle.
the season, the Comet speakers captured eight first place sweepstakes and three second place sweepstakes trophies in 12 tournaments. The biggest victory for Palomar was the National Forensics Championship in Chicago. Due to limited funds, the team did not compete in four invitationals held after the Chicago tourney. Thus, Dahlin feels that the third place ranking could have been higher, especially since the first place winner, Clarion State College, Clarion, Pennsylvania, competed in twice as many tournaments. In 1970-71, the Palomar squad also placed third in the final results. However, it was a time when Palomar was in the small school class (3,000 and under). This year, Palomar was rated among 218 colleges and universities in the 3,000 - 9,000 enrollment brackets. Palomar was the only community college in the "top ten" which included: Clarion State, George Mason, Bradley, Suffolk, Gonzaga, Mansfield State, Morehead State, Lewis and Clark, U.S. Air Force Academy and Vanderbilt.
