'Anne' features talented cast By Mary Dickinson
King Henry VIII challenged the Pope and defied the Emperor of Spain to marry the beautiful, ambitious Anne Boleyn. Their relationship, beginning in 1526, provides the story which unfolds in the Drama Department's production of Anne of A Tlwusand Days, completing its two weekend run tonight and tomorrow night at 7:30 p.m in the Little Theatre. Based on history, though uncertain in parts, the play by Maxwell Anderson concerns the brief segment of Henry's rule during his marriage to Anne. Henry smashed the ruling caste of sixteenth century England and murdered one of his top aids, Sir Thomas More, who was unable, in good
faith , to accept Henry's break with the Pope and his plan to establish himself as head 0f the English church. Henry's motives ranged from a deep drive for power to an obsession to produce a son and heir. Starring in the play are Leah A very as Anne Boleyn and Buddy Ashbrook as Henry VIII. Avery is a newcomer to Palomar who previously attended the University of Southwestern Louisiana. She has played Barbara Allen in Dark of the Moon, Karen in The N ight of January 16th, Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz and the Niece in Charley's Aunt. Ashbrook is stepping aside from his usual
role as director of Palomar theatrical productions to portray Henry. A graduate of the University of California at Santa Barbara, he received his M.A at San Diego State and has taught at Palomar since 1968. Ashbrook is well-known to area theater audiences, having appeared at the Old Globe Theater, the Mission Playhouse, with the Starlight Opera Company in San Diego, and in Patio Playhouse and Palomar productions in the North County. His directorial duties at Palomar College prevent frequent stage roles, but he last performed as the Coach in the Pulitzer prizewinning play, That Championship Season, at the Mission Playhouse in 1975.

Theater is life for Boyd By Mary Dickinson life revolves around the theater for Palomar's new technical theater instructor, David Boyd. In addition to designing and setting-up the stage for the current production of Anne of A Thousand Days, Boyd also directs the play. Time is a precious commodity and in its limited form it allows Boyd little time to enjoy his new surroundings. A native of San Francisco, Boyd, 30. came to San Marcos after he was chosen from over seventy-five applicants for the position in the Drama Department. He taught directing and theater produciton at the University of San Francisco for six years. Theater has always been a part of his life. But unlike other theater artists he came from a nontheatrical family . His first taste of
acting was in his fourth grade class production of Shakespeare's Macbeth. After that experience he said, "I knew then that's what I'd ultimately do, and here I am." He grew up and kept up with his childhood goal, but at San Francisco State University he became involved in the technical aspects of the theater. He earned his B.A. in directing and M.A. in technical, lighting and set design. Although acting has not been his main interest, Boyd has acted in a number of plays outside of school at a small theater company in San Francisco called The Julian Company. In the sixteen years he has been involved in the theater he has found that classical plays are his favorites as opposed to modem plays. "Both involve fairly distinct acting styles,
and !have a sense of style," he said. "But I don't consider myself an intellectual, and most modem plays are 'cerebral,' involving much thought." Of Anne of A Thousand Days he said he enjoys the play, although finding it difficult to wear two hats - set designer and director. He views this play as his big ''test." Buddy Ashbrook, who usually directs all plays, is acting in A nne as King Henry VIII, and as Boyd said, "Buddy and I didn't feel he should direct himself, so I am." Boyd feels that Ashbrook and he are working together as a team, and when and if the situation arises again, he will direct. Right now as a new teacher, he sees Anne as his chance to prove himself before the students and faculty.
Reform blues By J.C. Raedeker When a curious admirer asked P.G. Wodehouse how he primed his creative juices, the sagacious humorist replied, "I just sit down and curse a bit." So here I am, puffing on a Marlboro, spitting sunflower seed shells, and blowing copious quantities of verbal smoke. For some inexplicable reason the Wodehouse technique, usually productive for me, isn't working: I'm spinning my
OPINION cerebral wheels. Where's my Mencken streak, that haranging bellicosity that makes Bella Abzug seem like Mickey Mouse? I'm beginning to fear that the iconoclast in me is gradually subsiding, mellowing. Evidence of my demise abounds. I've ended my boycott of peanuts. I haven't hurled a shoe at my television for at least a week. My car is now bumperstickerless. My use of profanity is on the decrease (or at least becoming less derisive). And- most significant - I've been lately debauching myself in the abominable heresies of such miscreants as P.G. Wodehouse, James Thurber, and- worst of all- Peter deVries. Also, I burned my Nietzsche volume the other day. All of which means I'm ready to sock this apocalypse to you, gentle reader: It is my sincere belief that my "reformation" is imminent. It must be understood that this is not of my volition. Destiny, whatever that is, I suppose is to blame. Will the Pecksniffs and Babbits multiply with ever increasing ferocity once I am shucked away, classified as a goody-goody? I can imagine the sort of puerile drivel I'll be perpetrating: "It is high time for congressional reform! I have two reform proposals currently making the rounds in my mind. The first is a measure to ensure that all congresspersons pay their fair share of taxes on the bribes they receive. Those who fail to comply will be required by the law to buy a lobbyist a drink. Secondly, I would like to propose a bill that would limit all congresspersons to three mistresses (or mistertresses, whatever the case may be) per year. The penalty for violating the law would be having to sleep with one's spouse for one week .... " I'm sorry: I can't go on imagining such things; my stomach's beginning to quivertoo many sunflower seeds.

Wanted: Yourpointofview By Tom Wilson This is an appeal. Page two of the Telescope has not been what I would call a crusade of rightousness this semester, but
COMMENTARY there has been comment on various pertinent issues gracing the page. What I would like to see is some feedback from what the staff sends out on Friday. That means letters to the editor. We are students too at the Telescope, subject to the same conditions and shortcomings as other students. There is no magic formula to give us worldly insight that we may drink when we sign up for the staff class, and the job is just plain harder than it looks . The opinions of others are beneficial and are eagerly sought. Short of talking with someone else we have no way of communicating with others. Obviously that doesn't get us many opinions. We need the opinions from the rest
of the campus to evaluate and balance the matters at hand. If you see something in the paper that you agree with, disagree with or want to comment about, drop us a line. If there is something on campus that you don't like and you wonder why no one has said anything about it then write a letter to the paper where others can share your ideas.
Same for Congratulations The same goes for congratulations or notes of thanks. Send it to the paper. That is what it is here for. Please remember that the Telescope is not in the business of crucifing or barn burning and that there are laws governing the use of profanity and libel. Letters will be subject to editing due to space requirements so all you Tom Wolfes better take care not to ramble on. At the moment there is no letter box for students to post their letters in, so all letters should be placed in the Editorial Editor's mailbox or handed to Mr. Wilhelm in room R-4A.

Earth Science students take Death Valley trip Driving, eating dust, and sleeping and eating outdoors were unforgetable elements of the geology and geography classes' field trip to Death Valley, December 3-7. Under the guidance of Steve Spear, geology instructor, the 75 people who drove up and down the valley during the five days, got a professional as well as a fun tour of Death Valley. The students left late December 3 and camped outside Baker, Ca. Early Saturday morning, the expedition began. Some of the main features seen during the trip, which included over thirty stops, were water holes fresh and salty- ancient volcanoes, evidences of the gigantic lake that once covered the valley, ghost towns and deep canyons. The students were given time to explore the valley and a few of the many abandoned mines during longer stops. Scotty's Castle, once home of Death Valley's tall tale spinner who built the castle with funds from a Chicago millionaire, was toured by several students. Since mining was and still is a profitable venture in Death Valley, boom towns prospered in the early part of the century. The tour extended to two of the towns - Rhyolite and Leadville, both of which are shells of buildings inhabited by the wind and desert animals. The group camped in Texas Springs Campground near Furnace Creek Ranch and Inn. In the
evenings people sat around the campfires or explored the low hills in the area. By the time Tuesday arrived, the group was rather sad to leave although thoughts of home and showers were anticipated.
New classrooms are planned; first to be completed by Fall Plans for additional construction, including 10 new classrooms are already under way. These additions include two art classrooms, four business classrooms, a large group of modular buildings, a new industrial technology building with two labs, two large classrooms and four offices in the science area. Construction on the art and business rooms will be completed by next fall. "Sometime during the 1977-78 school year, a large group of modular buildings will be completed on the parking lot behind the Q building. These buildings will house speech, a reading lab, nursing education, arts and and journalism, a graphic learning center a tutorial center," said Dr. John Schettler, assistant superintendent in charge of business. Filling the vacancies left by the new buildings, the photography darkroom will be expanded into the present speech area, while television and radio classes will take over the nursing facilities. Also, the graphic arts and journalism area will be used for student offices and rooms, and the learning
library will be converted into a reading room. With state financial assistance a new industrial technology building will be constructed northwest of the children's day care center. This building should be completed by spring 1978.

Comet cogers face Santo Monico after copping second at Cuesta By Ed Buker
Boosting a 6-4 record this season, the Comet cagers will travel to Santa Monica tomorrow night for an 8 p.m. contest, then return home Wednesday night for an 8 p.m. game against Rio Hondo. Then on Decem her 27-29 the locals will host the Comet Christmas Classic. Coach Andy Gilmour's basketball team closed out a successful week by winning three out of four games, including a second-place finish at the Cuesta tournament played at San Luis Obisbo, and a win over rival MiraCosta. After winning the first two games ofthe tournament (one overGavilan 96-73 and next against West L.A. 6160) the Comets made it to the finals against Marin and dropped a close 65-63 decision. Palomar went ahead at the half, 37-31, but couldn't hold their lead. With 14 minutes to play and the teams deadlocked at 45 they proceeded to tie the score seven times until it was 59-59 with only a minute and a half to play. After Marin broke free with three free throws, the Comets came back with a layup by Tyrone Davis to cut the lead to one. An ensuing dunk by Marin and a basket by Comet Marcus Hays made the score 64-63 with 20 seconds left. Palomar then had two chances to win it but fumbled the ball away. Ken Jackson and Tyrone Davis each led the team with 14 points. In the semi-final match against West Los Angeles (a team the Comets beat by 15 points earlier this season), Palomar had to come from behind to win it on Don Joy's layup with six seconds to play. This
culminated a comeback that saw the locals down by seven at the half and down by three with 1:55 to go. But a clutch shot by Davis and Joy's shot gave Palomar the win. Davis scored a team high 22 points while David Moore dropped in 11. In the opening round against Gavilan, the Comets were never threatened as they built a commanding 18 point lead at the half, 47-29, and cruised in, 96-73. In their highest scoring game of the year the locals put five players in double figures with Don Joy leading the way with 18points (16 in the first half). He was followed by David Moore with 17, Tyrone Davis added 16, and Ken Jackson and Marcus Hays had 11 and 10, respectively. Coach Gilmour commented on his team's play in the tournament. "We played more consistently this week than the last. Throughout all the games I felt we played good defense. "Against West L.A. I thought we should have lost and against Marin I felt we should have won. That's the way it goes sometimes, but they always seem to balance out. Even though we lost to Marin I thought we played good defense and offense." Coach Gilmour took time out to praise his players. "Tyrone played excellent ball, gaining All-Tourney, while Delvin Moore, Ken Jackson and Marcus Hays also continued their fine play for us." They opened the week (Dec. 7) by dumping MiraCosta, 71-57. Mter holding a three point halftime lead (28-25) the Comets exploded to a 20 point advantage midway through the second half and coasted in. Palomar's defense played pressure basketball forcing the
Spartans into 24 turnovers. Leading scorers were Marcus Hays and Ken Jackson who had 14 and 13 points apiece. Don Joy, a converted forward, added 12 rebounds. On tills week's opponent, Goach Gilmour had this to say, "I think we'll have to play better to beat Santa Monica although I think we can. There isn't a bad team around anymore, and the team that 'executes' the best will come out on top."
Moss was also named co-captain along with Dave Yendes. Hubbard gained outstanding offensive recognition, while goalie Yendes took outstanding defensive honors. Mark Mowrey and Cameron were named most inspirational, while sophomore watches were issued to Cameron, Moss, Mowrey, Yendes and Andy Guerrero.
Laird named MVR Shannon Laird and Tom Hauser were named all-Mission Conference to top a list of awards given recently at the Palomar cross country banquet. Laird was named the most valuable runner, an honor gained due to his fifth-place finish in the Southern California Finals. Tipton was named co-captain along with Fernando Serrato. Kurk Clark was named most inspirational and Bob Short was selected as the most improved runner. Sophomore watches for two years of duty were awarded to Serrato, Tipton, Gary Wooliscroft, Jeff Howell and Casey Carnohan.
