Hindu dance to conclude series about metaphysics Aruni Devi will perform traditional Hindu dances Sunday at 7:30 p.m. in P-33.

Her performance will conclude Palomar's "Explorations into Metaphysics" series coordinated by instructor Elaine Peick.

Trained in classical Hindu dance, Devi has appeared in concert, television, films and on lecture platforms throughout the United States, Canada and India.

Her- -program will include a traditional Hindu dance, "Radha, Krishna Govinda" and movements and mudras to the poem "Who," by Sri Aurobindo. Devi will also per-

form improvisations on Bach's "Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor," one on "Amarna, High Priestess of Atlantis," and a surprise improvisational number.

Aruni will give a short introductory talk on the dances of India preceding her dance presentation.

The ancient treatises on classical Hindu dance state that a dancer should make herself a perfect instrument for the Divine. So when she then dances, it is the Divine who is dancing.

De vi is currently on staff with the Los Angeles Valley College as a Hatha Yoga instructor.

Admission to Devi's Hindu dance presentation is $1.

Gregory wins award Delores Gregory was awarded a $400 Loly Award at the Alpha Ny Chapter of Alpha Gamma Sigma's annual state convention at the Mansion Inn in Sacramento April 14-16.

The award is given to outstanding members of Alpha Gamma Sigma who have a grade point average of at least 3.75 and who show excellence in service to the honor society.

Margaretta Orchel received a $100 Outstanding Service Award, given to members who show excellence in service to the community as well as school.

Vice president Mike Johnson said that there is a possibility that Palomar will host next year's Southern Regional Convention.

A total of ten members attended the convention, which held workshops dealing with membership, publicity, general ideas and the group constitution.

They included Ruth Rider, Mike Johnson, Rich Hobzbauer, Sue Nelson , Debbie LaCoe, Sheri Dolan, Margaretta Orchel , Delores Gregory, Ruth MeN ally and advisor Jim Hammond.

What really happens during an earthquake and how safe are we in North County? These and other questions will be answered during a "Fault and Earthquake" workshop tomorrow.

The workshop, presented by geologist instructor Steve Spear will be held in room ES-19 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon and will be followed by an afternoon field trip to two local faults .

To better understand and recognize faults, participants will see a variety of slides and a short film showing typical faults and the Southern California fault system as it relates to the nation's most famous earthquake zone, the San Andreas fault.

Spear will also cover factors determining the severity of quakes and what residents can do to minimize the damage from an earthquake. In addition to outlining the faults in San Diego County, he will discuss the chances of a major earthquake in this area.

Spear, a faculty member at Palomar for the past five years, is as active in the field as in the classroom. Studying a subject without first-hand participation is, to him, like "studying art history without going to an art museum."

He notes that "It is one thing to talk and read about something such as what a fault is, but that's not enough. You've got to go see it."

Spear will take the workshop participants on a car cara van to two different faults. The first one, a "normal" fault, is near the Carlsbad Mall. The second, a "reverse" fault, is the Christianitos fault at San Onofre Beach State Park.

For more information, call Spear at 744-1150 or 727-7529.

Undiscovered masterpieces to be offered Art on the lawn!

The public has the opportunity to buy beautifully made and reasonably priced art objects at the 12th annual art sale, to be held on the campus frontlawn on May 11, 12 and 13 from 9 a .m . to 9 p.m. and until 3 p.m. on Saturday.

Sponsored by the college art guild, the sale.will contain a large variety offunctional and non-functional art objects including dishes, bowls, mugs, pots, planters, jewelry and candles made from ceramics, glass and other materials.

The sale is timely for purchasing Mother's Day gifts or personal items and also provides the community with a chance to see the quality of art that Palomar students are creating.

"The average price for the art objects is in the range of $5 and has remained at this price throughout the years," says Val Sanders, advisor to the sale and art instructor.

He adds that "20 percent of the proceeds goes to the college art guild and the rest to the artist." The college art guild funds are used to defray costs of student art supplies.

Any student may contribute to the sale as long as the art is not sold through a business. The successful art sale idea originated with college students who felt they had worthwhile art pieces to sell to the public.

Art Gallery displays permanent collection Selections from the Boehm Gallery's permanent art collection will be on display in the gallery today through May 21.

Paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture, glass and ceramic art pieces will be included in the exhibit.

Prints by Kaethe Kollwitz (German: 1867-1945), and Piranesi's

Dancer Pico wi II perform Wilson Pico, internationally known Ecuadorian dancer, will present a recital , "The Danced Chronicles," at 8 p.m. tonight as part of the Chicano Studies observance of the Mexican holiday, Cinco de Mayo.

Through contemporary dance, Pico brings to life the people of Ecuador. However, as a critic in the Mexican publication El Dia wrote, "He is Ecuadorian, but in his gestures we read all of Latin America." The dances, linked by brief introductions to add to the understanding of the characterizations, include such portraits as "The Blessed Hypocrite," "Woman," "The Bootlicker," "The Man of the Medals," and " May God Repay You." They show a cruel, tender and contradictory world where oppression has come to be natural due to centuries of colonization.

Richard Ames of the Santa Barbara News Press, writing in 1977, said "In these dances Wilson Pico stands comparison to Limon at his best, and to Graham at her most intense, but with a touch of humanity which has considerably more empathy."

Pico is also a leading choreographer and professor of dance body expression techniques.

His Palomar dance presentation is open to the public at no charge, under the sponsorship ofthe college continuing education and community services program.

"There is a large cross section of art and the quality of the pieces is excellent."

The growing collection is made possible by the generosity of individuals in the community, Patrons of Palomar College, civic organizations, students and direct acquisition.

Throughout the years, many artists have contributed works that .are displayed on the college campus.

They include Marge Gray, Harry Bliss, Mike Todd, Jack Buchan, Russell Baldwin, Kenneth Capps, Tonia Gale , John Barlow and Rita White.

The public may view the college's permanent collection during gallery hours which are Mondays through Thursdays , 8 a .m . to 8 p.m ., Fridays, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m, and 10 a.m .to 2 p.m. on Saturdays.

I REALLY T HINJ< THE.SE ''PALOMAR PATROL" GUYS

No problem for faculty and staff Dear Editors: Okay, we all know there's a parking problem here and we're all tired of hearing about it. But one thing about th e mess that Palomar la ughingly calls a traffic system is grossly unfair as well as inconvenient. I'm referring to th ose parking lots marked Faculty and Staff Parking Only.

You've seen these lots. They're th e on es designated by the numbers 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 10 and 13. If you look on a campus map yo u will discover what you probably already knew: that these are invariably the lots closest to the places you want to go. In other words, the most convenien t parking places are the ones you th e studen t can 't get into. Furthermore, th ere apparently aren't enough fac ulty cars to fill spaces reserved for them. Many times I h ave seen students scramblin g for a parking spot a quarter of a mile from th e buildings, while across the street in th e teacher's lot, every other space is empty.

But if you were to park in one of t hese inviting spots without a special Faculty sticker, chances are that a Palom ar patrolman in his cute red outfit would leave you a warning or a real ticket. Last spring I got a ticket this way a n d took it to court in order to voice my opinions. For my trouble I received small sympath y and a large fine.

Can someone tell me wh y faculty mem hers deserve their own special, exclusive parkin g lots? What is th e reason behind this privilege?

What makes them better than m e?

They aren't h andicapped, aren 't too old to walk far, and h ave no more to carry t h a n students. The only justification for this discrimination would be that teach ers are more important.

What we have here is a case of a legal double standard. There's one set of rules for the staff and another for t he students.

Segregation is illegal. We're being treated like second-class citizens and I don 't like it.

The practice of this type of favoritism reflects an attitude all too prevalent in today's education: that sch ools are created not to give scholars an education, but to give instructors a job. I suggest we eliminate the stickers and the lots. Let faculty members struggle for th eir parking places along with us peons. Let them carry armloads of books fro m t he outer edge of campus every morning. It migh t make some of th em more sympath etic toward people who come to t heir classes late.

Let's bring th e teachers down from their ivory tower.

ARE GETTING A LITTLE TO O SERIOUS ABOUT THE PARKING RULES.

LETTERS

Buses are desirable wit h f e w er h assles Dear Editors: Wonder why there is so much congestion in the parking areas at the college?

One reason could be the inconvenience of th e bus system. Perhaps if riding the bus were more desirable, there would be fewer cars on campus and a more sensible flow of traffic.

What kind of hassles do bus riders encounter? Besides the fact that the bus is usually either late or early which your schedule must suffer for is the somewhat hazardous location of the stop which is directly across the street at the fronts of the college.

In order to catch the bus, we are often forced to dodge speeding cars and trucks which left unnoticed could prove to be fatal. Perhaps one solution to the problem would be to put in a crosswa lk or a sign to make pa ssing drivers aware of the students attempting to cross the street.

Also a sole unsheltered bench can be very uncomfortable in the winter when we are forced to stand in the oouring rain for half an hour. A modest shelter of some kind would make the wait a lot less of a burden. We need more bus riders not only for the traffic problem but th e lack offuel as well. Let's make it worth their while to ride the bus.

MY MOTHER FEELS MUCH SAFER NOW THAT WE'vE KICKED OUT THOSE GAY TEACHERSu a

Spring Dance Concert uses some student choreography Four major modern dance works a nd various other pieces will be presented at th e Spring Dance Concert May 12 and1 3.

Dance instructor Billie H utchings and instruction al aid Tom Panasiti h a ve ch oreographed the modern pieces. Dance instructor Dorot h ie B l et h h as choreograph ed a ballet piece for th e concert. Other works have been choreographed by students.

Hutching's dances are Air Triad, The Cell, What Will Happen N ext?, and a sofar-untitled piece.

Air Triad is choreographed to three variations on Bach's Air on G String.

Hutchings took a traditional recording, a Moog synthesizer recording, and a Japanese Bach recordin g of Air on G String and placed them together as what she calls an interesting m usical experiment.

According to Hutchings, the da n ce is ritualistic. She says there is a reverential feeling about the music and th e space.

The Cell was originally written by Anthony Adams of San Diego, and choreographed by Hutchings at th e London Reader's Theatre Workshop of San Diego State University.

Adams took the dialog from a Time-Life science publication entitled The Cell. His aim was to take non-literary ma terial a nd present it using aesthetic m ean s.

The London production h ad no m usic, but Hutchings has had m usic especia lly composed for this perform a nce. ' The composer is Palomar dance class accompanist Joe Zabelski. Zabelski says that the music for The Cell is com pletely improvised. He feels th a t "the music inhances the dance. It is not con stant throughout the dance, but is used to bridge the narration and the dance, a n d, also, to act as a topic divider."

The untitled piece is an experiment in putting together different kinds of m ovement phrases that have nothin g to do with each other, and m aking t h em into a dance, according to H utchings.

What Will Happen Next? is a surprising dance, and H utchings wa nts to keep the details a secret so th at t he audien ces can enjoy th e sur prise.

The ballet piece, Rondo A llegretto, h as five dancers en pointe. Choreographer Bleth says that it is a ligh t, lyrical, pure dance with no story.

The dancers in Rondo A llegretto are Karon Livingston, Karin Graybeal, Mary Cordaro, Kim Smith, and Ann Trostruo.

Tom Pan asiti , who has choreogra phed a modern solo a n d duet for th e con cert,

started dan cing at Palom ar. His first teach er was Hutch ings, a nd h e h as since gon e on to study at Stage 7 in San Diego a n d with the San Diego Ballet.

The dan cers in the modern works are Karon Livingston , Mayo Campos, Terry Barsanti , Mimi Swan son, Kathl een Ch apman , Ta m ara E lliotte, Dana Hayward, Julie Baron e, Paul Angelino, Jim Vanoni, Eddy Matthews, Debora h Joh nston-Rob!, Sh aron Peeler, Robin Pichel, Kim Ch andler, Patricia Garner, Jane Moody, Carl a Seiersen, Lauwanna Burnette, a nd Vickie Hargis.

Costumes are by Dana Hayward and J udy Donnelly.

Curtain is at 8 p.m . for both performan ces. The con cert will take place in the dance studio. Tickets are $2.

Palomar student goes for q ickAA

By Warren Wilson Associate of Arts degrees appear to be easier to come by these days. Although the a~ministr~tion isn't gi~ng ~hem away, It's pOSSible to earn one In a Single semester.

Barney Berky is living proof.

An e!lergetic m~n only67 years young, Berky Is challengmg numerous Palomar courses in hope of receiving his AA by semester's end. Reason? "Because it's there," he proclaims.

Having never actually attended college, the independently successful Berky chased an ad in a local newspaper last summer leading to a counseling seminar conducted by Bob Larsen, Palomar Counselor. Larsen impressed Berky and put him "in the mood to challenge a few classes.

"Before I knew it, I was challenging 33odd units," he smiles, slowly rubbing an arthritic elbow. "It makes me feel young again."

The number of units he carries now is slightly higher (52.5) which is far below the reported 72 he held earlier in the semester. "I don 't want to encourage a person to take too many units because of me," he adds thoughtfully. "It's too

"Some teachers were concerned that someday people will come to the college and just take the exams. . . and eventually Palomar would be laughed a.t "

.

How ~oes a_n lndependently successful businessma_n, happily marned Wlth three well-educated sons seek fulflllment? If you're Barney Berky, you grab the one thing which has • e lu d ed your provocatlve and a d venturous l'l1.fe. . . an Associate of Arts degree from Palomar College. What's more, you would earn it in one semester. of the class being challenged, 2) the Department Chairperson, and 3) the Dean of Instruction. Also, in order to receive credit, he must pass his exams with a grade of 'C' or better.

Nevertheless, he's not about to give in to institutional obstacles. "Even though there's been some rough spots, I've enjoyed it," he notes, his thoughts hidden behind a wrinkled smile. "It keeps my mind occupied in the extent that it makes me forget about my aches and pains."

Unfortunately, not everyone is pleased with Berky's accomplishments. A couple of instructors voiced their concern on his

"I don't want to encourage a student to take too many units because of me ... it's too burdensome." committee members when Berky met approval last July. "We were convinced he could successfully challenge more than 15 units. We were right."

Berky, a gentleman in all respects, cites no complaints over the "red tape" he's h a d to untangle in route to his goals. In addition to the committee's approval, he must also receive that of: 1) the instructor

efforts, their reasons being that once the public realized someone attained a college degree simply by taking the exams, the college system would appear all too simple.

Counselor Cynthia Poole, whom Berky tabs as his mentor, feels he's one of a kind. "Very few people could advance

through the required courses like Mr. Berky," she says. "Everyone is ignorant in at least one field and usually very well informed in another."

"He has a 3.52 grade point average, which isn't too shoddy," opined Dean Bergman. "It's a rare case when an individual comes m with enough

knowledge to pursue that many units. " Berky simply sighs and turns his head.

"Knowledge is power," he quips .

He's adding to his lifelong accumulation of knowledge with classes in biology, creative writing, foreign language (he speaks four fluently), and his favorite class - music, among assorted others.

He has traveled abroad many times, has started businesses, and even written a book, Banker's Dozen, which is on file in the library.

"I know I should be out travelling, spending my money, but this seems more · important," he confesses.

"He's a dramatic example of what's happening on the college scene," remarks Poole, who helped Berky choose his classes. "Particularly in California where the middle aged are coming back to school."

Although he's never attended college previously, he values a good educa tion highly. In fact, one reason he returned to

burdensome."

Actually, it's doubtful if many people would be allowed to attempt so many units. A school policy allows no student to attempt more than 15 units a semester through "credit by examination" (challenging courses by taking semester finals) without first being approved by an Academics Review Committee. The ten member committee decides whether a student is capable of challenging the number of units in question. (In Berky's case, a phenomenal 72.)

"He convinced everyone," sighed Dean of Instruction Virgil Bergman, one of the

the United States after making his fortune in Mexico during World War II was to educate his sons . . . all three of whom hold doctorates. Nonetheless , "they've got the degrees, but I've got the money," he boasts laughingly.

"I'm the only untitled one in the fa mily, so I thought I'd get the degree and become a little closer to them."

"It's a most unusual situation," observed Dean Bergman, puffing thoughtfully on his pipe, "in the twenty years I've been here I've never seen this. It's a first, and maybe a last."

Unique. That's Barney Berky.

OCCUPATIONAL ADVICE COULD PROVE VALUABLE

A hidden wealth of information available

to all-the Career Library

By Warren Wilson Hidden in a portion of the Counseling building lies a coveted treasure sought by many, but unfortunately discovered by a mere few.

And although the contents of this treasure are not a mystery, a student may uncover some unknown secrets to a successful future.

The treasure is the Career Library, offering a wealth of information pertaining to different job opportunities and how to go about obtaining them. It features loads of informative documents, books, files, and reference materials - all easily located which may provide answers students have long sought about their future.

"There is an incredible amount of information offered," explained Linda Zagarino, a prime figure in the establishment of the Career Library 2% years ago. "The problem is that not enough students are aware it's

down here."

Counselor John Dise ordered much of the materials six years ago when it was placed in a corner of the library.

After a counseling office was vacated in 1975, Dise chose to have Zagarino move the materials into the empty room.

The expanded version of the Career Library supplies students with an easy mode of obtaining the most recent information regarding what is involved in finding, applying for, and working in virtually any occupation of interest. (Linda recalls one student was searching for information on herpetology - the study of snakes which although wasn't on hand, was quickly ordered and obtained.)

Among the materials is a monthly career newsletter, which researches the effects recently passed laws hold on the current and future job markets.

"This publication is different from others like it because it is easy to read and non-technical," notes Linda.

HELPING HAND- Counseling assistant Linda Zagarino, a prime force in the establishment of the Career Library, will offer assistance to any student wishing to use the informative facilities during regular counseling hours.

"We also have a special publication for women entitled Catalyst Career Opportunity Series. Each booklet offers information in a particular field, and shares some of the experiences the women went through in acquiring their jobs."

Still another feature of the Career Library is a visual display machine, "VIEW", which centers chiefly on job opportunities in San Diego County.

"VIEW" notes which schools offer

programs in areas of interest, and releases job opportunities and their qualifications.

Students can stop by the Career Center anytime during regular Counseling hours without an appointment; 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday.

With all it has to offer, it's a wonder more students don't take advantage of it. The answers are there.

Playoff next after Paco blanks Indians The second season has arrived for the Palomar baseball team.

Come Tuesday, when the Comets take on San Bernardino Valley in a Mission Conference playoff game, regular-season records will be thrown out the door and all the emphasis will be on one game.

Palomar does have one regularseason game left in the schedule, a road contest against Citrus Saturday.

Palomar gained the playoffs by clinching second place in the Southern Division behind Southwestern , while the Indians were the ch amps of th e Northern Division. Palomar had Berdoo's number this year, winning all three regular-season games , but the Indians are expected to throw their ace . Ed Vandeberg. in the playoff at

San Bernardino. Vandeberg was 111 with an 0 .87 ERA going into last

week's games. The Comets will probably pitch Paco Gonzales, who turned the trick on the Indians Tuesday with a six-hit shutout, 4-0.

The victory improved Palomar's record to 14-8 in conference and 1912 overall going into Thursday's game against Chaffey.

Gonzales improved to 4-1 and lowered his ERA to 2.10 with his complete-game effort Tuesday. He was backed by 12 Comet hits, including three apiece by Chris Alberico a nd Scott Mitchell. Gonzales struck out five and walked two while allowing only five Indians as far as second base.

Pete Proctor, who brought a .375 batting average into the game, drove home Palomar's first run

when he followed a walk to Clint Goodwin and a single by Jim Scranton with a run-scoring single in the third inning. The Comets added two more in the fourth when Porter Wyatt and Mitchell got things going with sing-les.

After Wyatt was thrown out at the plate on a grounder by Goodwin, Alberico doubled home one run before Scranton, who brought a .385 average into the game, drove home Goodwin with a grounder.

Alberico , who raised his average to .337 with his three-hit performance, drove home the final run in the eighth when he followed Mitchell's single with a triple to right.

Gonzales' performance came on the heels of another good outing by a Palomar pitcher in Saturday's

game. Ken Putnam pitched eight innings of seven-hit ball and gave up only one run , but he dropped a tight pitcher's duel to Saddleback's Bob Clements, 1-0. The Gauchos used two singles and a sacrifice to score a second-inning run and threatened only once after that, but Dave Holston relieved Putnam in the ninth to put down a Saddleback rally.

Clements retired the first 11 batters he faced and finished with a five-hitter. Palomar threatened in the eighth when George Hinshaw and Wyatt each singled with one out, but Clements got a grounder and a pop-up to end the rally.

Tuesday's playoff winner will take on the winner of the Southwestern-Riverside game in a series to determine the Mission's representative in the state playoffs.

Despite having three players in double-figures , the womens basketball team lost to MiraCosta 74-60 last Wednesday in a play-off game at Torrey Pines .

Sara Jane and Valerie Moore each pumped home 15 points, followed by Lori Schwalbach with 14.

The score really doesn 't reflect the way the Comets played as their defense just wasn't up to par. Moore connected on a three point play with 4:30 left to bring the Comets within five at 62-5 7 and that was the closest they got.

On a numerous occasions the Comets had the deficit cut to four point the last time coming with 7:25 left on a follow-up shot by Schwalbach.

The Spartans came out and took the lead from the beginning. Moore scored 10 points in the first half and had four steals to keep the Comets close at halftim e 36-33. "She played great in the first ha lf, " said Coach Vi Jeffery . " But she got into foul trouble a nd we h ad to worry about that."

Cind y Hollins a nd Julie Smiley came off the bench and played good defensively . "Ci nd y played her best game of the season. '' said Jeffery. ·'We could have stayed with them if she didn't get hurt. "

"I'm very pleased with what lhey've done this season," said women's swim coach Patti Bruce.

She was referring to the Comets' finishing first in conference action, seventh in the Southern California Finals and twenty-one in the State Finals.

"For my first year of coaching it was very nice," Bruce added.

Sandee McHale and Patti Robinson paced the Comets in both the Southern Cal. and state meet. In the Southern California meet held last weekend, McHale and Robinson scored 36 points apiece as the locals totaled 108 points over the two-day tournament.

Robinson placed in five individual events and one relay race. McHale placed high in four individual events and swam in two different relay teams. She captured third in the 50 yard backstroke and sixth in both the 100 back and 50 yard freestyle.

In the state meet, held last Monday and Tuesday, the Comets scored 11 points, good enough for twentyfirst place. 52 teams competed in the State Finals.

The Comets' best outing came from McHale, who took first place in the 50 yard backstroke in the consolation division. Her time of 29.7 gives her the third best time in the state. Robinson captured eleventh in the 500 free. The 400 yard medley relay team of McHale, Robinson, Debra Jo Chenney and Joann Samuels also took eleventh place.

"Most of the girls' times were in the top half of their events," said Bruce. "That's not bad since we've been on the road for six straight

days' swimming both in the mornin g and afternoon."

McHale was named to the Allconference team for her excellent performances in the 50 and 100 yard backstroke a nd the 500 yard freestyle. She's also being considered as a junior-college AllAmerican, a title she also earned last year.

The men 's state finals are to be held today through Sunday at East Los Angeles.

"Our relay teams are strong," said Coach Brian Smith. "Curtis should place high in the 50 free. Farley should also do well. He's seeded within the top four in the state in the backstroke."

The Comets placed sixth in the Southern California Finals held last weekend at Cerritos.

Top finishers for the locals were Farley, who placed second in the 200 yard backstroke with a time of 2:01.03, a new school record.
