Candide will be Palomar's entry in the annual American College Theatre Festival. Performances will be October 11 through October 15 at 7:30 p.m. in the college Drama Lab (P-33).
Winner of five Tony Awards on Broadway, along with the Drama Critics Award for Best Musical, Candide was first presented at Palomar in last summer's musical theatre workshop. The current revival of the Leonard Bernstein musical marks the college's second entry in the ACTF competition.
nostalgic art Artist Betye Saar, nationally recognized for the formal beauty of her art, will discuss her work at noon Tuesday in room C-44 of the Palomar art complex. Saar's presentation is a part of the fall semester Palomar series, "The Art Scene," which brings internationally-known experts to the Palomar campus for an exploration of current directions and con· troversies in the new visual arts. Saar, a Los Angeles native, has had solo exhibitions in New York's Whitney Museum of American Art and at Cal State University in Los Angeles, University of California at Santa Cruz and the Berkeley Art Center. Her work has been included in group shows around the U.S. Her involvement with her work is total. Saar notes that, with the exception of her three daughters, "At this time of my life, my art is the most important thing in my life. Several years ago, I began to open a special inner door on my consciousness and flowing through that door came a special essence, a special energy. Now, as my girls move into their own lives, that special essence and energy is directedtomywork ... "Shegoeson to say that "Sometimes I feel like a medium, like the connection between the material and the message. My current work is involved with nostalgic journeys, with secrets and with mystical powers." Currently on the faculty of the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles, Saar has taught drawing and painting at California State Universities in Northridge and Hayward and is in demand as a lecturer at universities and colleges throughout California. She was a free-lance designer for the Napa Valley Theater Company, American Film Institute and Inner City Cultural Center in Los Angeles for five years.

Legislature approves new ASG cabinet members By Karen Ossenfort Three people were approved to serve in various student government positions at the Legislature's September 29 meeting. Serving will be Judy Cook (Communications), in the ASG president's cabinet, Judy Damon (Publicity), also in the cabinet, and Judith Shumway who will be a member of the Judicial Advocates. Budgets were also discussed at the meeting. It was approved to allot Steve Chappell $1000 for Wild West Week entertainment, and to appropriate $1500 back into the Inter-
Club Council's budget. ICC president Rick Ricard said that guidelines had been set for any clubs wanting to use money from this fund. Clubs wanting more information should see Ricard with the ICC. A representative from the Children's Center at the meeting to ask that safety features be instituted at the Center to protect the children's welfare. She said that car speeds were too fast through the area and the possibilities ofhitting a child were great. Terry Bowman, legislator, motioned to let the Traffic Safety
Committee deal with the problem by enforcing 15 minute parking in front of the Center, allotting more parking spaces, erecting signs warning of young children in the vicinity, and possibly adding speed berms, should the high speeds continue. The Legislature approved the motion . Also brought to the attention of the Legislature was that ARA Vending Service wanted to increase the price of cigarettes 1.7 percent per pack. The increase was endorsed, and according to Chappell it was "due to the price range in merchandise."
OP/ED Opinions - Editorials
The Rush By Warren Wilson When word broke out that the group of the year* would play in San Diego, a fever erupted and tickets vanished overnight from the arena box office. Naturally I neglected to buy any, due not only to lack of funds, but the fact I learned of the concert on the same morning tickets went on sale. It wasn't worth wrestling a line for two hours to own a seat in the upper stratosphere, or to pay a smiling scalper $20 for a $9.7!1 ticket. Then a friend of mine, (himself an accomplished scalper), phoned one afternoon to inform me tickets would go on sale the following morning for a second concert. H.ealizing we should get prime seats by staying the night at the ticket office, we gathered the necessities of our journey ... money, blankets, jackets, and other unmentionables ... and laughed our way down Interstate f) to the Sports Arena with visions of floor seats dancing through our heads. As I pulled into the parking lot around 10 p.m., our laughter died and our greedy grins turned to open mouthed amazement. A novice of this type venture, I really hadn't anticipated such an enormous crowd so early. Neither did my experienced canterpart. Apparently many people shared the same idea . Come early, horde as many tickets as possible, and scalp them to friend and foe alike for unreasonable prices. In addition to mail order tickets, this seriously depleted the amount of seats available rather rapidly. In fact, despite my night of sacrifice, after pushing and shoving my way to the third person in line, and after six tingling hours of standi ng in one place I could only muster the mediocrity of loge level seats. And poor ones at that. But considering I don't worship F1eetwood Mac like some, and that I was third in line , I didn't fare as poorly as many much more disappointed people. (Including my scalper friend who lost his 120 dollars to a pickpocket.) And the concert? It didn 't disappoint me in the least, although it did keep me wondering. Not of the vocal ability of Stevie Nicks, but whether it was all worthwhile. *F1eetwood Mac -1977 Rock Music Awards
FLEETWOOD MAC
'Rumours' proven true By Mary Dickinson In an era when punk rock is being popped like so many pills and rock groups come and go everyday, it's amazing that F1eetwood Mac, in its tenth year, could endure and reach such heights of popularity that was characterized by two sellout concerts Monday and Tuesday nights. Tuesday's concert began with an excellent performance by the globe-trotting Nitty Gritty Dirt band. Fresh from their Russian tour, the Band satisfied the restless audience with beautifully coordinated renditions of Dismal Swamp led by John McKuen 's banjo , Rocky Top Tennessee, and Jeff Hanna singing their most borrowed song, Mr. BojanRles. It must have been hard for The Band or any band to warm up a crowd for F1eetwood Mac, but the Dirt Band did a good job although people were waiting for Kenny Loggins who was advertised as warm up. After the Dirt Band, the faithful waited nearly 30 minutes for the stage to be cleared of the extra equipment. The wait seemed to build the anticipation. Just when the audience was forgetting about the Dirt Band and had begun to yell, stomp, and clap for F1eetwood Mac, they stepped out and did a show never lacking in either hits, or talent. With Stevie Nicks on lead vocals; lindsey Buckingham, lead guitar; Chris McVie, keyboards; Mick F1eetwood, percussions; and John Me Vie, bass, the group performed many of their biggest hits - Dreams, Rhiannon, Say You Love Me, Monday

We are initiating a new weekly commentary spot called "Tell It Like It Is" that we hope will be filled with issues, new or old policy, gripes, or hopes that faculty, administration, student government or clubs may have. The same rules that apply to editorials will be applied to the column, but we are giving you 100 more words to say it- 350. Please get all copy in to R-4A by Friday, one week before publication.
Morning, Landslide, Over My Head, and World Turning. Rhiannon sung by Stevie Nicks in a flowing black dress was the most captivating and bewitching of the show. Dancing around the stage and then disappearing as Buckingham went into a featured guitar part, she seemed to die and jump back to life. She delighted the audience who could never quite figure out what she was planning. Musically, lindsey Buckingham led the show with his ever-present guitar and excellent showmanship. He jumped, shook, and viciously strumed the strings of his instrument as he played and sang. He bounced with excitement over each song, never seeming to weary. The entire group's performance capitalized on hard-hitting, audience- involving rock until the second and final encore. Chris McVie, alone on the stage with a grand piano dedicated Songbird to Stevie Nicks. The mellow, almost melancholy strains left the audience finally satisfied and content that the Rumours were true - F1eetwood Mac is the best concert of the year.

exhibition game. Hubbard scored four times for the locals. In last Tuesday's action, the Comets broke open a close match with Citrus with six fourth period goals and continued to remain undefeated in the Mission Con· ference with a 16-8 win . The Comets play Saddleback Tuesday at home at 3 p.m. and travel to Cypress Thursday.
Women run past San Diego; men meet Saddleback today meet, but the Palomar women won't see action until October 14 when it entertains Citrus and Southwestern in a double-dual meet. This is the first year for women 's cross country on a state-wide junior college level. Comet coach Mike Curran has some definite ideas about training women for longdistance running. Curran feels that, "It's just a whole lot of fun ." He added, a little more seriously, " I have found many emotional differences between men and women athletes. There's too much strategy in a race, and athletes just can't let their emotions take them away. They have to be able to handle both victory and defeat." Curran also thmks that cross country parallels life, because the runner is given a task and the way he or she achieves the goal is the important test. "We have a long way to go," he says. "Several schools have experienced runners, whereas we don 't have any . It's a lot of work and discipline. We're not the fastest yet, but at least we have the best looking."
Volleyball home today after win over Panthers After driving two and one-half hours in bumper to bumper traffic to Chaffey, Coach Teri McFarland and her volleyball team were still ready to demolish the Panthers, 15-5, 15-2, and 15-5 in their Mission Conference debut. The win starts the Comets off with a 1-0 record in their conference. "We kept good pressure on them through the match ," said McFarland. Sue Macha mer led the team in spiking. She was backed by the fine setting from Karen Eich and the passing from Julie Smiley and Valerie Moore. The Comets host Southwestern today at 4::10 p.m. On Wednesday , the Comets again hit the road when they travel to play San Hernardino. McFarland co n side r s hoth Southwestern and Saddleback to he strong teams. " The Southwestern game is important," McFarland said. "We'll need to heat them at home to stay in contention."

Disney fills QB Lemmons ' goal paces hockey victory spot for opener against Chaffey Rick Disney will be at the helm Saturday night when the Comets open Mission Conference football action at Chaffey College. Game time is 7:30 p.m . Disney is replacing quarterback Jim Goodman, who was rated as the conference's top passer after three pre-season games before being sidelined for the season with a knee injury. Goodman's stats showed 30 completions in 58 attempts for 375 yards. Palomar will go into the Chaffey game with the Mission's best pass offense (14:3.5 yards per g a me), best total defense (206.0) and bes t pass defense (67.7). The Panthers, the only undefeated Mission team at 3-0, sport the league's top offense at 274.8 yards per game. That offense is led by running back Marcus Jennings, who has :n5 yards on 51 carries for the conferen ce's highest total. Jennings s cored three touchdowns in C haffey's last contest, a 4:l-14 win over MiraCosta two weeks ago. Disney saw a good amount of a ctio n three weeks ago against Mira Costa, completing six of nine passes. The freshman from Orange Glen sat out the Santa Monica game with an injury to his finger , but should be ready Saturday. The Com et defense is led by defensive Pnd Mark Johnson, who had 114 defensive points , and linebacker !>on Shelton, who has 110 points. Linebacker Mike Gumi nski had 55 points against Santa Monica to movP into third place in the point standings with 96.
Shiela Lemmons scored early in the first half to put the Comets field hockey squad on the board and that goal stood up as the Comets went on to defeat Orange Coast 1-0. Erin Laird recorded a shutout but only had to face two shots on goal from OCCs' team. " Neith er t ea m had much offense,"said head coach Vi Jeffrey . "We're an in ex perienced team. The offense always comes around last."
A cut anklebone to Karen Hayden stopped her from finishing the game. Julie Jordan cut her thumb but continued playing despite the injury.
The Comets travel to San Diego State Tuesday and then play at home on Thursday against Grossmont at 3:30 p.m .
The locals scrimmaged San Diego State earlier in the season and ended . up in a scoreless deadlock. "We expect a different outcome. Their players are all three and four year players with only a few exceptions." said Jeffrey .
