LEGISlATURE SPLITS VOTE

Controversy builds as ASG cuts budget Controversy seems to be rising as action continues on the estimated $51,800 Associated Student Government budget, according to Kerin Essex, ASG treasurer.

"There has definitely been some controversy in the legislature over some organizational accounts, such as music, forensics, and the Telescope. The vote tends to be split five-five or six-four in these accounts," Essex said.

Over $26,000 was allocated at last week's meeting. Approved accounts include Bravura, $600;cheerleaders, $2,200; music, $4,662; radio station, $250; forensics, $6,800; Student Help Center, $9,000 and Student-Parent Advisory Board, $400.

Essex also had to vote to break a tie for the forensics and music accounts.

After the budget is finalized, ASG president Steve Chappell is planning to start work on improving the ASG card sales.

"I've been working mainly on th e accounts in the budget which are in the executive area. We are definitely buying a new camera for card sail:'~, which will also take color portraits.

Then we will work on in creasi ng the card's benefits," stated Chappell.

Tabled accounts are Arboretum, Interclub Council, Computer Club and intramurals. Those and the inhouse accounts were scheduled to be reviewed at last night's meeting.

Next year's plans are in the making as Chappell is hoping for two Disneyland trips next year. one each semester, and an improved Homecoming.

"We've already contacted the new cheerleaders and we'll be working together on Homecoming to make it better than last year," Chappel l said.

"The Telescope and Focus account really had some controversy. A first motion for a cutback to $1,600 failed when I had to break a tie. Then there was a second motion for $2,500, which was later changed to $2,400 .vith $200 free advertising for the <\.SG. This passed with a six-four vote," explained Essex.

Chappell has been getting his nt>w cabinet together. Members are Mike Gomez, Andy Wynn, Richard Onwlas, Sheri Dolan, Mozhdeh HotshPkan , John Courture, "Sweed'' Swanson, Mike Sheehan, Brian Smith and Mark Cinciarelli. Chappt>ll plans to fill the five rem a 1m ng positions in the fall.

FIRST PALOMAR LIBRARIAN

Nesbin retires after thirty years here

By Lucy Wold living in a World War II glider ... serving as navigator for her pilot husband ... traveling extensively . . . being an important part of the development of the college over a 30 year period . . . these are all experiences vividly remembered by Esther Nesbin, Dean of Library Services, who is retiring this year Palomar had only been in existence five months when Nesbin inquired about a job at Vista High School. "The high school had no jobs available, but they directed me down the hall to the office of the new junior college," said Nesbin. "When Dr. Daniel McNaughten, president of the new college, found out I was a librarian, he hired me righ~ away.

The college had been sharing a library and librarian with the high school and needed one of its own.

I've been there ever since.

"In those days the high school students met from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the college students attended class from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m.", Nesbin observed. "The high school had its library desk at one end of the room and my desk was at the other end.

The high school put its cards in the front of the books so we put ours in the back to differentiate."

The college was housed in the high school for three years before moving to the Vista Recreation Center. At that time the library moved to the second floor of the American Legion Building in Vista. "One Monday morning when I went to work, I found books piled on every single table and all over the floor. A person had donated 2,000 books, and they had been brought in over the weekend. I had to get busy and index all those books right away."

Finally in its fifth year of existence, September, 1950, Palomar acquired the land and moved its temporary buildings to the present location. "At first the library shared a double war-surplus building with the first college bookstore. The buildings had been put together

with a trough down the center connecting them, and they frequently leaked," stressed Nesbin.

"Eventually the bookstore moved out, and the library had the whole building. In those days we had occasional 'work days' when the whole campus, students and faculty, pitched in to help wash windows, paint and clean up. Our crew washed all the windows in the library, I remember. After the work there was a big barbecue and polo game for everyone."

Nesbin was the only librarian for ten years although in the third year she was given the help of a student assistant. "The present library was built in 1956 as one of the first permanent buildings on the new campus," continued Nesbin.

"Because there was so much open land in those days and no roads, it was very dusty and was landscaped mainly in native plants and wild flowers."

Nesbin was born in Colorado and moved to a Michigan farm with her family when she was three. At twelve she moved to Buffalo, New York, where she graduated from high school in three years. Since there was no money for college, she decided to get a job as a bookkeeper.

However, the high school librarian approached Nesbin's mother with the suggestion that Nesbin should go to college with the help of a scholarship. The librarian helped her get a scholarship from the University of Buffalo to pay her tuition for four years.

She covered her other expenses by working in the registrar's office. In her fourth year she got a job with the Grosvernor library, a semi-private reference library, which was used by the University of Buffalo students.

She worked as a librarian and also taught library science courses there for eleven years before quitting and setting out for the west coast.

She met her husband while she was working in Los Angeles, and they were married in 1946. They

(Photo by Carole Charfauros) traveled by Model A Ford back to his home state of Pennsylvania. "We were out driving one day and found an army glider," Nesbin related.

"After the war they sold these army gliders at auction for $75. During the war the gliders, filled with troops, were pulled by an airplane behind enemy lines where the troops parachuted out and the gliders were crash-landed. The gliders being sold were ones that hadn't been used. All the farmers bought them for the crating. They were crated in Georgia pine, and the farmers used the wood for chicken houses and other buildings and didn't know what to do with the gliders.

"We found a farmer who had just uncrated his, and my husband said we could make it into a trailer. They were 85' long, and we cut it down to 27 ', took off the wings, and put on an axle. We pulled it out to California behind our Model A Ford. We got quite a few strange looks along the way, but no one stopped us or questioned us. Our tires gave out in Globe, Arizona, and my husband went into Phoenix and located an army surplus store where he found two airplane tires which fit the glider," added Nesbin.

"We were on our way to visit friends in Ramona and stopped to see another friend in Vista. We decided to stay there, and my husband would build houses and I would go to work. We lived in the glider in a mobile park and a lady in the park suggested that I look for work at the high school," said Nesbin. Thus began her long

relationship with Palomar and the development of the library.

From a beginning as the library's only employee, to her present staff of 35 people, including those employed in the Fine Arts library and the Audio/Visual Resource Center which are both under her jurisdiction, Esther Nesbin has witnessed amazing growth. Fifty student helpers also work part-time in the library, some as paid employees and others on a work/study plan.

The number of books has also increased at an amazing rate. "We recently got many wonderful California books from Leo Carrillo's collection," remarked Nesbin. "His daughter, Antoinette, gave them to the college. We also received some excellent books on geology from Miss Ruth Coats who was an instructor of geology here and also a famous shell collector.

"Right now we're discarding a lot of books because the shelves are full, and we need the space until we move into the new library," Nesbin pointed out. "The ones we discard we give to the Palomar Patrons. They have them at their annual book sale and the money from them goes for scholarships. It is hoped that a new three-story library will be built by 1980 on the parking lot which is currently east of the drama building and north of the cafeteria."

Reminiscing about her long career Nesbin recalled, "One thing that stands out in my mind about my career as a librarian is the opportunity I've had to build a collection (Continued on page 4)

Burton's retirement: a part of learning

By Cynthia Puig

Mter 20 years of service as a Palomar administrator, Robert L. Burton will be retiring this year as dean of student personnel services.

Like other retirees, he and his wife have plans to actively travel throughout the world in what is not a retirement from but rather a continuance of education. "You never . really acquire too much knowledge," says Burton.

He speaks with authority. Education has been his whole life, starting in 1932 as an elementary school principal. Burton has held almost every possible position related _to education. Besides the post as pnncipal, his titles have included teacher, counselor, director of guidance, coach, student government advisor and college administrator.

Working directly with students is what he enjoys most. "Counseling students and working with students who have special problems is a rewarding experience.

"Sometimes," says Burton, "the results of counseling are not known until years later. Students come by and visit you, and this is always pleasant, because one of the benefits I have appreciated most through

Robert L. Burton counseling has been the personal contact with students over the years."

Results of his counseling face him everyday. Faculty member Jesus Lucero was once counseled by Burton in Arizona, when Burton was working as director of guidance at a high school in the town of Douglas.

From Douglas, Burton came to Palomar in 1957. The college was 11 years old then with a total enroll-

Sierra trip to feature 'faulty' learning skills A caravan of geology and geography students from Palomar College will be departing today for a field trip to the eastern Sierras, led

by Steven Spear, instructor in the earth science department at Palomar College.

"The purpose of the trip," Spear explained, "is for students to see the features they have been learning about in class. It makes their learning more meaningful when they can see natural phenomena up close."

On the trip, the students will explore faults, volcanic fields , glacial features and a ghost town.

"They will also be seeing the world's largest, oldest and weirdest trees, " adds Spear.

Points of interest will include the Garlock and Sierra Nevada Faults, Bristlecone Pines (the world's oldest), glacial features of the ¡'astern Sierra region, and little .f..._ lr, Volcanic Field, two million Yt- -:trs ¡old and the youngest and one of the best preserved lava flows in California.

At Mono Lake, the students will see an excellent slice of recorded history including such features as the old shoreline and volcanic acti vity.

Also on the field trip agenda will be a visit to Bodie, the best preserved ghost town in the United States.

According to Spear, "the buildings in Bodie are still intact . . . the utensils still on the tables. Even the coffins in the mortuary are in good condition and their tombstones are

still readable."

Winding up the trip, the students will arrive in Yosemite National Park where they will study the glacial features in the valley and along Tioga Road as well as the giant sequoias, the world's largest living things . The returning caravan will leave for home on May 23.

Any student enrolled in a Palomar geography or geology course during the fall or spring semesters is eligible to go on the field trip. There will be car caravaning and camping.

Students will supply their own transport, food and shelter. No fee will be charged.

ment of 1,683. As the dean of student services, his duties were similar to his current responsibilities, with the addition of teaching a full schedule of classes in math, reading and ¡ freshman orientation. He also helped advise the student government.

Today, with the college nearly 10 times larger than in 1957, Dean Burton oversees the business related activities within the student services. Included are the areas of health services, counseling, activities, financial aid, child care, Extended Opportunity Programs and Services, veterans services and admission and records.

"If there is any contribution I have made over these years," Burton says, "it has been to bring into the system well qualified people to help in all of these specialized areas."

In finding these "key people," Burton uses his abilities to find just the right "personalities" that work well with students. Students, as it should be, are his primary concern.

As an early pioneer of Palomar, Burton puts college history into perspective. "We have always had a strong program to prepare students for transfer to state colleges and universities. The record of former students transferring to other mstitutions speaks for itself.

"The philosophy of almost all governing boards has been to provide students with opportunities for both general and vocational education. There is the group that wants to take the first two years of college at Palomar, then transfer to higher institutions. We also provide a wide variety of vocational programs to people who want to go directly from here into a career."

With over 40 years experience in education behind }aim, Burton isn't afraid to make predictions. "I think there will be some big changes in education within the next ten to fifteen years. Whenever you talk about major changes in an educational system, it's a little regrettable that they take so long to occur."

Burton believes that one inhibitor of vocational education can be " ... the gap between training and industry itself." He goes on to say, "So many of the people teaching vocational courses have been too far removed from the hard, cruel world of work. To catalyze the necessary changes, there will have to be a closer relationship between the training that vocational students get and the jobs at which they will be working."

Other predictions on education's future? "What happens to post secondary education in the next few years will depend largely on how much financial support the community college gets. Due to the economic crunch the world is faced with, many cutbacks are being made. People are wondering if they can afford to maintain certain institutions in the manner they'd really like to. It may be that these institutions will have to level off for awhile."

Despite the financial fury, Burton remains optimistic about formal education. "With education, a person can get more meaning out oflife, and we will never stop learning."

Though his stay as dean of student personnel services will be ending this year, Burton will continue learning throughout the rest of his life, fulfilling the adage, "Live to learn and you'll learn to live."

Nesbin reflects on years as Palomar's first librarian

In December, students tant part of Nesbin's busy life. She took a four-day trip to Death Valley, has been to the Holy Land including while in early April, a geology class Egypt and Cypress, Petra (in Jortook a trip to the Mojave Desert. dan), and India.

Mexico. The libraries of Mexico and Central America were the subject of another paper she wrote. "There were many beautiful old books from the beginning of printing in these libraries," emphasized Nesbin. "But there were few up-to-date books."

This librarian and educator is listed in Who's Who of American Women, Who 's Who in the West and Who's Who in California and is the author of a book on Shaker Literature and four Library Technology Study Manuals. She received the award for outstanding service to education in 1965 and 1972 from the Escondido Chamber of Commerce. Her hobbies include cactus and succulents, wild flowers and old children's books. She is an honorary members of the Palomar Cactus and Succulent Society and the Escondido Historical Society.

Esther Nesbin hopes to do more traveling after she retires at the end of August. She also hopes to have more time to take care of her home and to read all of the Palomar books which she hasn't had time for during her busy career. Later she may consider teaching some classes in one of her many interest areas.

Pros-cons of television discussed in media class

By Tom Kelly " The American people need someone to articulate their rage."

Dunaway -Faye "Network" "It seems patently obvious to me that a small segment of people who are mentally disturbed or borderline will be directly incited to violence by certain television episodes. But that's not really significant. What is significant is that we're all becoming more violent."

So observes Mark Edelstein of the English Department, who, in his first year here, teaches "Human Values and Mass Media," a course which he describes as an instruction in self-defense.

Discussing the most influential medium of all, television, the softspoken New Englander further said, "Television both affects and reflects life in America. In reflecting it it affects it. It is circular. If something is perceived to exist, then that is reflected in television. It then becomes the reality that people will accept and follow in patterning their own lives. It is difficult to say which comes first."

Edelstein believes that television today is, " .. . essentially a negative force. It makes us passive, and it steals our time."

One of those negative manifestations which he experiences first-hand is television's effect on education.

"It's becoming harder to teach because students are not involved in their own lives. They're used to being observers. Before they enter first grade they have spent literally thousands of h ours simply sitting back and observing life - totally passive- not involved in any direct way. This shapes and conditions their entire lives, certainly their educational careers. Sometimes I feel like Milton Berle, as though I am a performer and the class is as distant to me as if I were in New York and they were receiving the program in California."

On a broader scale, Edelstein sees violence being presented as," ... the only correct and manly way to solve problems. The intellectual process is not particularly important to John Wayne. In television the problems are clear-cut and simple. The division between good and evil is neatly defined and if you can physically destroy evil, life will be better. It's as clear as that.

"Violence is promoted as the only reasonable and effective solution to personal problems - a ridiculous concept. Our problems are never that simple and they rarely lend themselves to violent solutions."

According to Edelstein the source of our ravenous appetite for violence is modern living.

"Personal relationships are never as satisfying as media tells us they should be; the pace of life is hectic; the size and distance of government alienates us; all of the answers that we once accepted are no longer applicable. We don't believe in God, we don't believe in science . . . we don't believe in the 'the American way'- whatever that is and it's left

Photo-hiking in

summer course

'A DREAM FULFILLED'

Backpacking through King's Canyon National Park, camera in hand , could be an exciting and educational way to spend a summer week.

This trip, scheduled for the week of June 26 through July 2, is listed under the Biology 99 class entitled Nature Photography in the High Sierras.

Gary M. Freeman, Life Science instructor, will oversee the hike which will cover 25 miles over th~ Kearsarge Pass Trailhead near Independence, California.

"Since the trip is primarily for photographic purpose, the distance to be traveled has been held to a minimum," said Freeman.

The week before the trip, June 20 to June 24, the class will meet from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. dailyforthepurposeof organizing the trip and for instruction on photographic principles .

The course is designed primarily as a workshop aimed at students of all photographic levels.

Students must provide their own pho_tographic and backpacking eqUlpment.

All of this may at first sound like a strong argument for censorship, but you w'on't ij.nd Mark Edelstein slapping blindfolds or gags on anyone. "Censorship is more dangerous than violence. I think television lends-··· itself to totalitarianism; to mind control.

The print media demands some kind of discrimination. In television you simply accept. Often things are presented in such a way that you don't even know an argument is going on. If you watch "Swat" or "Police Woman" you don't know that you're being propagandized.

You think you're being entertained.

That's mind-control.

Financial aid fund raiser will give away painting An original oil painting will be given away in a drawing May 27.

Proceeds from the tickets, which are on sale for a 25 cent donation, will be used for scholarships at the college.

A former art student and graduate of Palomar, Gary Waldrop, donated the painting in appreciation for financial aid he received while on campus. Waldrop feels he would not have made it through Palomar without this unexpected aid.

The painting represents a parallel to the help Waldrop received from the college. According to this artist, the focal point in the painting is a person trying to see into the future, which appears at first to hold

nothing. But a closer look at the picture (and life) reveals hope in the way of help from someone or something.

In the painting, a lone figure is standing on a large wooden platform that is grounded to a bare and rocky ledge jutting out over a deep canyon engulfed by clouds. The earth and canyon in tones of browns, and the clouds in various shades of white, grey and blue, make up the major content and colors in the painting which is approximately two feet by three feet.

A handsome wood frame with a natural finish (knot holes included) enhances the painting.

Track marks crumbling to Siai Siai

By Erin Thien than a s peeding bullet. It's a bird. It's a plane. No , it's Rowland Joe Siai Siai.

What's a Rowland Joe Siai Siai?

Well, believe it or not, it's a Nigerian record breaker. That's the truth.

Voted Mission Conference Track Athlete of the Year, Rowland Joe Siai Siai from Nigeria has broken fo ur school track records this season.

"I came to Palomar for my studies a n d then to run track, too. I heard a bout it from a friend . In Nigeria we talked a bout a lot of schools in the United States and I wanted to come, too ," explained Siai Siai.

Rowland Joe may have come to Palomar to fi nish his education, but he seems to be concentrating on br eaking track records.

During the season he set record in th e 110 meter high hurdles at 14.1 seconqs , 100 yards at 9.4 seconds and 200 meters at 21.2 seconds. He was a lso part of the 440 yard relay team which set a record at 42.0 seconds. The previous record time for th e 200 meters was at 21.2 in 1964.

"I haven 't done as good as I had hoped. I'm not yet settled. The food a nd weather are so different. Back home it is hot, about 120°. At the meets I'm doing fair. Anybody can break records," Siai Siai said.

Fast~r

Preferring the hurdles, Siai Siai has only been nervous once during a meet and that was for the Olympic tryouts in 1976.

"Only sometimes I have been nervous. I try to stay calm because I know I'm either going to win or lose.

But at the Olympic tryouts I was jumpy," stated Siai Siai. "It was the only time I was nervous and was disqualified because I jumped the gun. So I didn 't make the team. Next time I will make the team. No doubt about it."

From the eastern part of Nigeria, Siai Siai says his home country is much like America, except for the cooler climate and the system of education.

"Here there is a good system of education and a good place to study.

There is so much opportunity.

You 're not denied anything to do with schooling and you can go to a good school and get a good education.

"There are many colleges in Nigeria, but they are too expensive.

Unlike the free education here, there you can't go to school without money. You have to pay a schoolfee, so it's quite hard unless you have a scholarship," commented Siai Siai .

Just as students are the same everywhere, teenagers in Nigeria like to dance and go to the beaches for recreation.

"Just like here. It's not much different," Siai Siai said.

While over 300 languages are spoken in Nigeria, English is the common tongue for all. " It is quite difficult at times. We sometimes can't understand each other. Most people understand English, though . We learn English in school and at home our parents speak English or the home language," explained Siai Siai.

Planning to stay in the United States during the summer, Siai Siai is not sure of his plans for next year.

"I don't know what to do," said Siai Siai. "There have been so many offers. I just don't know any of the places or schools. It will depend on the offers. You just don't know what's happening tomorrow. I'm depending on time. Then I'll know."

Some of Siai Siai's offers include full NCAA scholarships to the University of Texas, University of Texas at El Paso, University of Colorado at Boulder, University of Southern California, Cal Poly at San Luis Obispo, Cal Poly at San Dimas, San Diego State and University of Nevada at Las Vegas.

Although a freshman this year, Siai Siai may be leaving the Comets next year. But wherever he goes , just remember don't show him your new Led Zeppelin record, he might break it.

As a team , the Comets totaled 5858 points in the women's field.

Glendale of Arizona won the title with 6061 points and Colorado Northwestern took third with 5683 points .

In the men's competition Dick Nelson posted a 2113 score for tl}e Comets to finish fifth, just ahead of teammate Tom Lundgren, who had 2108 points for sixth place. Ralph Scimo completed the Palomar threesome with 1990 points.

Colorado Northwestern tallied 6298 points to win the men's crown, followed by Palomar with 6211 and Atlantic of New Jersey with 6195.
