PSSST, CON6RESSMAN .•• K0 REAN SILK? IJA[)E? HAND CARVED CHESS SET?
A TV lobotomy By Mike Johnson TV bothers me. Especially the new situation comedies, crime dramas and game shows that bring up the same old violence, money, psychotics, crime heroes and turbulent relationships. Most channels promote everything except mature, responsible judgement and behavior. Those who are forming opinions and learning through experience become prime time targets for televised subversion. Money is only secondary to the motives that support an investment in escape stimulation. Winners like the Bratty Bunch, Donnie is Marie, Celebrity Nos e Picking and the $101 ,001 Trapezoid are within arms reach in nearly every house. Although a bi-monthly observer of'l'V, I decided to succumb to a few hours a day for a week. The material was idiotic. It shocked me and made me think and act stupid from then on. Television is dangerous. Now I watch it eight hours a day. I know I'm addicted, but something must be done. If people could unite and storm every television station, the problem would be alleviated. Personally, I would don a clever disguise and infiltrate television's executive headquarters. Under cover of lighted dark, I would sabotage all equipment, plant six bombs (three of them fire), knock out all the guards with a single punch to the jaw, and break into the president's office. Smartly dressed and civilized, I would rape every secretary then acquire their phone number, and single handedly hold the main man for ransom until my demands were met.
After all TV sets were destroyed, I would race off in a bright orange race car with a cool million dollars, to a waiting helicopter in the outskirts of the city. It is possible.
Letter to the editors
Trampled rights Editor: During the past two months a member of Palomar College Baha'i Club has placed posters and cards at numerous places around the campus. These were all torn down by an unknown person in spite of the fact that they were approved and stamped by the Dean of Student Affairs. Obviously someone does not accept freedom of speech, press and religion as fundamental human rights. We hope this unknown person reads this letter and reflects on what his feelings would be if his own rights were trampled on. The Palomar College Baha'i Club

MOVIE REVIEW
Film extends • • • an znvztatzon to adventure By Tom Kelly Twenty-five years ago Michael Rennie landed his flying saucer on the White House lawn and placed the blame for the myriad horrors of earth history on all humans, princes and commoners alike, in The Day The Earth Stood Still. He and his formidable robot companion warned us that we would be exterminated like germs if we attempted to infect the universe. Movie-goers across the nation left the theaters with their h eads appropriately hung. If we can believe the message conveyed by Stephen Spielberg in Close Encounters of The Third Kind, we have been absolved. Close Encounters is motion picture Scifi at its zenith. Never before has the "giant screen" so realized its visual and aural potential. The climactic arrival of a convoy of space vessels is guaranteed to give the most jaded afficionado gooseflesh and the sound is no less awesome. Spielberg joins George Lucas as a full-fledged sorceror of special effects, and this high-suspense drama, though predictable, is always entertaining. The true price of admission is the fearless curiosity with which a central figure, a small child, greets his celestial abductors. Without it you may enter the theater, but you may never enter the picture. It does not matter whether one believes in the existence of UFOs or not. What matters is that one believes there is something important in a child's preoccupation with the word "why?". For too long, Hollywood has gotten away with stereotyping working men as dolts. It is refreshing to see the emergence of a middle-class hero. Rarely has cinema permitted the majority of its audience to see themselves as significant figures in the cosmic web. Richard Dreyfuss' portrayal of a knowledge-thirsting suburbanite whose quest for truth purchases him a round-trip ticket in to the recesses of the universe is inspired. Not only have we been exonerated, an invitation has been extended. We may now leave the theater and raise our eyes to the beckoning stars.

BERKELEY JAZZ FESTIVAL IS NEXT

The Berkeley festival is a competitive event which gives the musicians performance and com-
Concert reflects singer's cause "I think everyone really enjoyed the Vernon Hall folk-rock concert, on the Student Union patio on April 3," says Colleen Frederico, one of the coordinators of the show. "His spirited songs and delightful showmanship left everyone with a smile and good thought. His original compositions show good representation of his excellent musical talent and philosophies." Hall was sponsored by the ASG. Hall, about to depart for a five month tour of the East coast, will return to California in the fall to pursue a record contract with a major recording company. Among his selections was an original song concerning child abuse, a subject he feels quite strongly and feels needs to be brought out to the public ear. His performance on the Hammerdulcimer was unique and refreshing, something new to many onlookers. Hall has a bachelor's degree in music from a college in West Virginia. A nativeofNewYork, Hall has traveled far and has "opened" for such names as Supertramp, Harry Chapin, Livingston Taylor, Jimmy Buffett, Don McClean, Pure Prairie League, Roger McGuinn, Kalapana and others.
petition experience. During April the ensemble will tour several colleges and high schools en route to the Berkeley festival. The jazz ensemble recently returned from the Chaffey Jazz festival. Competing in its division against24 colleges and universities, the ensemble received a superior score in judging as well as nine perfect scores in the individual categories . Individual praise was given to several Palomar musicians, including David Shaffer, alto and soprano saxophone; Miles Osland, alto saxophone; and Ned Hall, drums . They were praised for their outstanding improvisational and / or musical performances. The high ratings at the Chaffey festival follow similar scores in noncompetitive judging at the Saddleback and Reno Jazz Festivals. The Saddleback Festival last month was the first public performance for the jazz ensemble this semester . Robert Curnow , a professional com poser I arranger and performer who was one of the judges at the Saddleback event, described Palomar's rhythm section as "one of the best rhythm sections I've heard today." Members of the rhythm section include John Raczka , piano; Mark Hunter, bass; Nick Burns , guitar; Ned Hall, drums ; and Beau Wade, percussion . For the second year in a row, the jazz ensemble received superior marks at the Reno Jazz Festival in nearly all judging categories. They received the highest possible ratings from the judging panel in seven of the nine performance categories. The jazz ensemble, established in
the spring of 1974, gives several concerts on campus and in the community throughout the year, including a major performan ce on campus toward the end of the semester. This performance features an outstanding jazz artist. Past guest soloists with the group include Clark Terry, Bill Watrous , Don Ellis, Ralph Humphrey, and Bobby Shew.

APACHES ROUTED, 23-0
Track squad dropsanother heartbreaker With the rash of close dual-meets that Palomar's defending state champion track team continues to lose, the Comets might try a tactic used by the Harvard University team . Thursday's edition of the Los Angeles Times reported how four members of that track team came to a meet with their faces painted in the fashion ofthe Kiss rock group. There was even a photo, showing what appeared to be a short-haired Gene Simmons hurling a javelin. But all psyche-jobs aside, the Comet track team still compares with last year's champs, although the depth isn't as strong. Still, after Wednesday's 74-65 defeat to Citrus, Palomar had a 2-4 Mission dualmeet record along with a feeling of wondering if the Comets are going to win one of these close ones. Palomar ~11 put the Citrus meet behind and concentrate on this weekend's Bakersfield Relays. After the Relays, another Mission meet with San Bernardino Valley is on tap Wednesday at the Palomar track. A number of season-best efforts were recorded by Palomar athletes Wednesday , but when it came down to it, another loss in the mile relay was the focal point of the meet. Palomar had lost that race in each of two previous 74-71losses earlier this season, and the Comets were .6 second slow Wednesday, despite a five-yard lead going into the final leg. But taking away all of the injuries and lost workout time due to rains and an uncompleted track and the Comets are probably still the class of the conference. That will have to be proved , however, at the Mission Conference Finals April 28 at Chaffey. Season best marks were turned in by a number of folks, including: Tim Edet, who ran a bestof10.5to win the 100 meters and had a best of 21.9 in placing second in the 200. Jim Tunnell, who finally showed the running form that made him a star at Fallbrook High by winning the 800 meters in 1:56.2. Mike Minnich, who competed in four events but still had a seasonbest of 15.0 in losing to Darrell Jackson in an exciting 110 high hurdle race. Tom Petranoff, who hurled the javelin 245-8, his best mark in a dual-meet this season. Palomar could have won the meet in a number of events. Dan St. Hiliare, a consistent high jumper who has gone 6-8 this year, has leg problems and probably won't compete until the finals. Curt Ljung, the distance ace, won the 1500 meters, but was held out of the 5000, his specialty, when his calves and achilles tendon began to act up. Wednesday's meet came after a good showing at the San Diego Relays last Saturday. Palomar had two winners on the day in Petranoff, who won the javelin by over 60 feet with a 234-7 heave, and Edet, who zipped to a 9.65 in winning the 100yard dash . High jumper Mike Johnson had a potentially great day turn into a downer when he was struck in the back by a stray discus only moments after clearing a lifetime best of 6-6. Johnson came back Wednesday to place second with an effort of 6-4. A season-best of 46-5 came to Tommy D. Lister in the shot put as he placed third at the Relays, and Ambrose Courteau and Don Hancock each cleared 15-0 to place 2-3 in the pole vault.

Weigandt, Brady lead netters past G riffins Playing their usual superior style of tennis , the womens tennis squad defeated Grossmont 9-0 in a nonconference meet last Tuesday. The Comets host Citrus Tuesday at 2 p.m. and travel to Saddle back on Thursday. "We want to beat them bad," said Coach Nan Haugen. "Because they are in second place." Next weekend, the Comets travel to San Francisco to play the University of San Francisco's varsity squad on Friday followed by a Saturday match against San Francisco City College. "They are always tough," said Haugen about USF. "Because they are a four year school." The Comets hold a 2-1 edge over USF. Both matches in San Francisco should prepare the Comets for the upcoming Ojai Invitational Tournament held April 26-29. Reese Weigandt, the Comets number one singles player, kept her undefeated record alive for the season with a 6-2, 6-0 win over Mary Caulfield. Karen Farrington had a tough match against Adrienne Gelley, finally defeating her 7-6, 6-1. Jill Brady, Laura Mehaffey and Diana Scoccia all won easily for the Comets. Ellen Etherton won her match by a forfeit. In doubles, Weigandt and Brady teamed up for the first time this season and recorded a 6-1 , 6-0 victory over Debbie Silvers and Gelley. "This was the outstanding match of the day," said Haugen. " It
Putnam stops Indians, 2-J Bouncing back from a heartbreaking defeat Tuesday at the hands of Southern Division-leading Southwestern, the Comet baseball team upset third-ranked San Bernardino Valley Wednesday, 2-1, behind Ken Putnam's five-hitter. Palomar was scheduled to host Chaffey Thursday, and another home game is set for Saturday against Saddleback. Wednesday's win gave the Comets an 8-5 Mission Conference record, 13-9 overall. Designated hitter Pete Zajda drove home both runs, the first coming in the sixth inning when Pete Proctor, batting .425 on the season, singled to left, took second on a bunt and advanced to third on Butch Chism's first of two hits. Zajda then ripped a sacrifice fly to deep center to tie the game at 1-1. In the eighth, Chism beat out an infield single and raced all the way

was high quality of tennis." Both Weigandt and Brady are scheduled to play doubles together in the Ojai Tourney. Farrington and Mehaffey defeated Linda Chapman and Patty Vander 6-2, 6-3. The third doubles match was forfeited by the Griffins. The Comets again shutout their opponents with an easy 9-0 win over San Diego City College last Wednesday. Weigandt defeated Jean Montgomery 6-3, 6-1 to get the Comets off to the right start. Theremainingfive singles matches were all easy ones for the Comets. They outscored their opponents 43-17. In doubles, Farrington and Mehaffey teamed up for a 6-2, 6-3 win over Montgomery and Cindy Hoover. Scoccia and Kathy Corona defeated Luanne Potter and Sue Box 6-2, 6-1. Reilso Hamblem and Etherton had an easy team in stopping Janet Ashmore and Meredith Estep 6-1, 6-4. The Comets also found little trouble in defeating Chaffey 9-0 on April 6.

By Rick Hoff With two games down and one to go in what softball coach Mark Eldridge called the biggest week of the season for his young team, the Comets will have their most important game to date today when they visit Mission Conference co-leader San Bernardino Valley. Freshman pitcher Kathy McAleer .will start on the mound against the Indians, who share the conference's top spot with Palomar, both teams having 10-2 Mission records. When the two teams met in the first round at Grape Day Park, the Comets saw a 12-5 lead disappear in the final inning, but Palomar still pulled the contest out in extra innings, 13-12. McAleer, who along with Pat Romero provide the conference's best 1-2 pitching staff, hurled a strong game in her last outing, an 81 victory over Citrus Tuesday. That win broke a four-way tie between Palomar, Citrus, San Berdoo and Victor Valley, and with Victor Valley losing Tuesday, the Comets and Indians are alone at the top. Eldridge's crew warmed up for today's showdown with a 23-0 romp over Southwestern Wednesday. Romero pitched a three-hit shutout and had three hits before the game was called after five innings. The freshman from Escondido High had a lot of support at the plate as the outcome was never in doubt after a seven-run first inning. Catcher Teri Bucher blasted a tworun homer and second baseman Leslie Herrera added a two-run single during the first-inning outburst, and Herrera and first baseman Donna Boyce each drove home a pair of runs during a ninerun third. Bucher's two-run single keyed the final onslaught, a sevenrun fourth. Bucher had three hits and five RBI in five trips, while Boyce hit a double and three singles for three runs batted in. McAleer reached base four times and drove home three runs, while Herrera, Merrily Wells, Audrey Miller and Katie
Guerrieri each went two-for-three. Miller's two hits were both doubles, and Kathy Agnew also had a pair of hits on the day. The easy win came after Tuesday's road victory at Citrus. McAleer had a no-hitter going until a bloop single by Citrus' Terri Simmons with two out in the fifth, and the Comet ace finis hed with six strong innings of two-hit pitching, giving up one unearned r un in the sixth. Romero pitched the final inning, a perfect frame thanks to two tough plays by Herrera, who had switched to second after starting at shortstop. McAleer was given a four-run lead in the first inning as the Comets jumped on Owl starter Debbie Miller for three hits by the first three batters. After Boyce singled sharply to open the game, Agnew dropped a perfect bunt down the third-base line. The freshman left-fielder raced to second on the play, while Boyce took third. McAleer's single brought home the first run, and two more scored when Citrus outfielders Simmons and Edith Talevera collided on a fly ball by Bucher. Bucher, who reached third on the play, then scored on a wild pitch . In the third, McAleer and Bucher both walked and advanced on a passed ball before Guerrieri drove home McAleer with a fly ball. Guerrieri also had an RBI in the fourth when she followed a single by McAleer and a double by Bucher with a run-scoring single. Two more runs came across in the sixth when Agnew, who was robbed by a diving catch earlier in the game, reached second on an error. After a single by Bucher scored Agnew, Guerrieri forced Bucher, stole second, took third on a passed ball and stole home on the front end of a double steal. Wells, McAleer and Bucher each had two hits for the game, and Wells played well at third base in her first start since suffering a broken finger over a month ago .
