According to Dr. David Chappie, Dean of Student Services, "Our residents who wish to take summer classes in the San Diego Community College District must first obtain interdistrict transfer permits from Palomar College." In previous summer sessions this requirement was waived . However, states Chappie, "The interdistrict transfer agreement with the San Diego Community Coll ege District
has now been updated, and summer session is treated like a regular semester." The only permits which will be granted, according to Chappie, are for programs not offered during any semester in the resident's home community college district. Persons wishing an interdistrict transfer permit should contact Chappie immediately. Registration for the summer session will be held on May 30-June 1 for those holding priority cards. Priority registration will be held in the Student Union from 8 a .m. to 12 noon and from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m . Open registration begins on June 2 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Admi ssion 's Office.

'Excellence' lecturer will speak Wednesday Dr. Carl Sewell, director of the Los Angeles program "PUSH for Excellen ce," will speak Wednesday from noon until 4 p.m. in room P-32. Jackson's PUSH is a crusade to boost student achievement in public schools. Alex Poinsett in a recent Ebony article writes , "Jackson has contended th a t moral decadency is rampant in the la nd, that Ameri cans have lost their will to greatness , that their vision has been blurred . He insists that this n ation al malaise is slavishly reflected in the schools. Since academic performance continues to decline both for ¡ inner city and suburban youngsters, Jackson believes renewa l of spirit, a revival of hope in the future, a res urrection of faith, a new resolve a nd determination to overcome, and a resto ration of the will to lea rn are desperately needed in the nation 's schools ." Jackson believes parents should bea r the greatest res ponsibility for student behavior. He contends a major reason for the school crisis "is the massive dropout of the nation's parents. We've got to bring the parents back in ," he decl ares, "Because nobody can ma ke that teacher acco unta bl e like a parent can . But parents must provid e care,
motivation, chastisement and discipline in love. Students must be challenged with what they need a nd not coddled with what they want, given appropriate freedom a nd held responsible for exercising it. They must be taught that a combination of sacrifice and self-reliance will take them farther than a combination of liquor and luck. "It is not enough to be young, gifted and black," Jackson tells teenagers in order to change their indifference toward education. He believes academic excellence, like athletic excellence, is attained through sacrifice, disciplin e, duty a nd perseverance. "Nobody is going to give you any power," he argues. "It comes from within , not without. Sewell 's appearance at the college is the culmination of instru ctor Robert Lent's business education course in personnel management. This semester's class project has been a study of the motivation al aspects of the Reverend Jesse Jackson 's program PUSH for Excellence. The cl ass h as had a series of local speakers as well as a research of th e subj ect and the man. For further information contact Lent in the business education departm ent, 744-1150 or 727-7519.
