Resignations curtail ASG activity

By Jim Duffy Amid charges that the Associated Student Government is under special interest group control, and a crumbling student Legislature due to resignations, Bruce Robbins, ASG president, maintained that the student government would be effective this year .

"There is every opportunity for students to get involved in the decision making process on the campus. There will be policy changes made and students are welcomed to help make them either through the legislature or by becoming members of standing committees," Robbins said.

Recent resignations have left the student legislature with only four legislators. Six are needed to

Palomar College

legally conduct business. When questioned as to the inability of the legislature to act, Robbins stated, " Don't make us appear to be crippled. The most important legislation has already been passed . We have our budget and the money has already been alotted to the various clubs and organizations on campus.

"Right now I would liken the ASG to a bus that has just pulled up to a bus stop and is waiting for the passengers to get on. After the elections at the end of October we will get moving ," he said.

Asked about the charges levied

by Edwin Estes, a former student legislator, in a letter published last Friday in the Telescope, Robbins said, "There were some conflicts that had to be resolved .

Some were personality conflicts and some were honest differences of opinion concerning how things should be done, but with the resignation of the majority of the legislators, the conflicts have begun to be resolved."

Estes had stated one of the reasons he resigned from the legislature was "the continued uncooperative attitude of fellow legislators ... has made it impossible for me to instate any improvements for the students of Palomar."

Estes also claimed that "A majority of the legislators either belong to or were put in to office by MECh.A .. . a campus club (that) now uses the legislature for its own interests."

While not admitting the ex-

istence of a "MEChA bloc," as charged by Estes , Robbins said," If there was one, I don't think their intent was malicious . Two years ago the Forensic club received around 10 or 15 percent of the entire student government budget. They had representatives on the legislature. A number of students tried to change that.

They were organized and they were elected.

"That same legislature," he continued, "gave the Forensic club 20 percent less than they received before. That seemed like a good compromise since student government is directed by the Board of Trustees to support art, drama, music and speech activity on campus."

Robbins said that he did not

believe tha t the conflict would continue, because after the elections the legislature would have a "total new make-up of students."

Looking forward to the elections, Robbins said, "I think if I were a little more skilled at this I could convey the enjoyment one gets out of being in student government. It is a lot of fun just as it is a learning experience.

Working with people makes one more valuable to himself and to his community.

"Because its not obligatory, the student government is exactly what people want to make out of it. When one is given the freedom to do things, it is easytoletothers do them . One can react or one can create," he concluded.

The legis lature is bound by the ASG constituti on to approve appointments to the Judicial branch of the govern ment. At the present time however, there are not enough legislators on the legislature to cons titute a quorum.

The new JA's stated that they were aware of that possibility but nevertheless were willing to accept the positions. ln oth er business, Danita Ferrier addressed the legis lature concerning the Women 's Center in room R1.

She said that t he room was still not furnished but furniture ha s been ordered. Also that, "wi th the a vailabli ty of Federal funding recently granted , th e Women 's Room would be staffed by a paid coord inator with crede nti a ls ."

New theater is rising

Referring to the monies allocated for the room in the ASG budget, s h e said "Since federal m oney is now available, we will not n eed as much as was previously requested from ASG. Any m on ey that is n ot budgeted for use in the Center by October 1st, would be returned to the Student Government. " The Women's Center was allotted $2650 in this year's budget.

Bruce Robbins, ASG ·president, presentP.d th e phone bill to the legislature. It was for $744.00, but Robbins said there was some error in it and would resubmit a corrected bill after he talked to Dr . Schettler, Assistant Superintenda n t of Business Services.

Kathy Martin , a legislator, informed the legislature of the activities of the CCCSGA (California Community College Student Government Association) which will include a conference held in October. She said that the conference would be held in San Diego and would cost $100.00 to send 1 advisor and 2 student delegates .

Another legislator, Ignacio Del Rial, resigned. His resignation was received by Bowman and accepted by the legislature. The reason given for it was his transfer to anoth er college.

October elections slated to fill ASG vacancies Vacant offi ces in the ASG caused by resignations due to student tra ns fers a nd disco ntent among members of the legislature have prompted the announcement of a special election to be h eld during the last week in October by ASG officials. ln that election 6 legislative seats will be filled as well as a treasurer a nd various cabinet a nd committee positions .

"It will be a fantastic place," says Theatre Arts instructor David Boyd, referring to the n ew educational theatre under construction n ear the m ain entran ce to the campus.

The 2.1 million dollar structure, being built not far from the Music Department, is rising like bread in an oven, with Proposition 13 acting as the yeast. It was almost a victim ofthe Jarvis-Gann initiative b ut just got started in time.

The foundation of the playhouse is at a much more visible spot than the current and hard to find Drama Lab, P-33. It will be more accessible with Mission Road in si ght and parking lots just across the street.

Looking at the floor plans, the n ew theater will very much resemble San Diego State Univer sity's . It will seat 400 people comfortabl y and h ave a box office, l obby, foyer and restrooms.

The open-pr osceni um stage will be 40 feet wide and 20 feet high. The front row will be a deceptive 24 feet away. There will be a retractable orch estra pit which will be accessible by a tunn el under the stage.

There will also be a complete workshop including costume and set construction areas. Large dressing rooms a nd m a ke- up areas a lon g with a green room will be provided too . All ofthese are details that P-33 does not have or are too small.

Completion date is scheduled for June 1979, but the architect has stated that construction is two months behind because of the ra in .

Some have said the co mplex will not be completed until February, 1981, but Buddy Ashbrook, drama instructor, finds that h a rd to believe.

Ashbrook, who has been teaching and directing here for more than ten years, is very excited abo ut the new theatre. "I've been waiting a long time for it. Ever since I got h ere," he discloses .

"We 're going to open with a royal bang. We'll try to get a lot ofthe oldtimers back for it, not only to audition for the show but to be there opening night.

"Old-timers are a ll the people who have appeared in Palomar plays before, and as soon as we know the - opening date , we'll start a campaign to get them ba ck here."

Ashbrook hasn 't decided yet what play will be th a t "r oyal bang," but ass ures ever yon e that it will be something spectacular.

To Boyd , th e technical director , the theater will mean more flexibili ty with la rge scale. multi-set productions .

"There wi ll be less ch aos and

'' Presently, all set materia l and costumes a re in a sto rage building a ffectionately called "Siberia" because it's so far away from P-33.

A problem may arise in the sch ed ulin g of the use of the theatre with related departments like music. dance and a rt. Hopefully, mu ch of this backstage po li ticking wi ll he a void ed and not tarnish the exuberance of h a ving one of the "finest and m ost professional theatres in North Co unty. " Boyd concl ud es, " If everything goes as pl an n ed it will be an incredible place t hat will provide great chall enges and a great training ground for a ll theatre students."

Advisor council forming to aid ASG president Bruce Robbins , ASG president, announced plans early this week for the formation of a Co un cil of Advisors.

The council, m a de up of students from each academic h ouse, will advise the ASG of stud ent interest1:1 co ncerning matters that may be brought to the attenti on of the Palomar Board of Trustees.

Si nce recent changes in California law h ave m ade the president of the ASG a non-voting member of the Board, Robbins said, " It would be pres umptuous of me to be call ed re presentative of the students on campus without having some way of becoming aware of their in terests."

Prop 13 victim gets revenge

By Kevin Folan The line at Axelrod's Alignment Shop of San Marcos stretched far out to the horizon (well, almost). I sat in my little car and fretted, although as a Palomar College student I should be practiced at waiting in lines .

Then I noticed a strange thing. Almost every car in line sported a triangular sticker, indicating that these cars regularly transversed California's version of the Baja 1000, the Palomar Roadway Enduro.

I motioned to Axelrod - he of oily overalls and bulging bankroll- to come over.

"Gee, Axelrod, it seems as though most of your customers are local students."

"Yeah ," said Axelrod, "it's all those holes that are in the roads there. Some of them are kind of deep."

"Deep? I thought they were getting ready for trench warfare. Well, at least it should be over soon."

"Not too soon," replied a grinning Axelrod. "I've got a deal worked out with the school. You see, for every five dollars I make here, I give one back to the school, and they promise to see that the work goes slow, and those holes stay deep. "

SATIRE "But Axelrod," I protested, "that's called a kickback and it's illegal. " "Hey, a guy's gotta make a buck, don't he? You know, I used to work there at Palomar, but I lost my job because of Proposition 13. So now I'm in the alignment business, and things are looking up. " "Axelrod, all good things, even this, must come to an end. What are you going to do when they finally complete all the work at school and the cars aren't getting so banged up?"

Axelrod said, "I'm going to try and get on the planning board for Palomar College and recommend that all those old roads be dug up to put new ones in."

I wanted to question Axelrod further on this, but he had already sauntered off.

Well , no big deal, I thought. I'll be seeing him again in a couple of weeks anyway.

Reader's Forum What's the use

By Neil B. Shangold Are you disgusted with what the politicians are doing in all levels of government? Maybe you're concerned with what the politicians are not doing.

Maybe you just don't care anymore or never have cared. Take a look and see which category you are closest to. If you don't really care or have never cared, this article is imperative for you to read and think about. If you · do have genuine concerns about which way our political system is going, then read on and act upon your response.

Whenever I think about the topic of governmental blunders and the almost pointless matters that many politicians engage themselves in I think to myself, when will it ever end? I have been hearing about energy problems , street crime, fiscal mismanagement and the list could fill the rest of this paper. We are all concerned with these topics whether we like it or not.

Well, if all of our governments are responsible for much of what happens around us, then who is our government?

If our governments are in existence for our common good, (which they are supposedly for) then what is going on?

The key question here is, who is our government? Our governments are made up of city councils, assemblys, senates, house of representatives and executive offices, etc. These are the places that the politicians go to, but who is our government? How did those politicians get to those positions? The cynics will say they

voting?

sold themselves to big business, they lied and cheated their way into office, but again, how did they get there? I don't know of any recent charges of ballot stuffing. There has been no real evidence of election tampering, as far as I can remember. Then who is electing these "turkeys " into office? Who is believing whatever they say? Do you believe all the advertisement that you see, hear and read? It is one thing to have someone tell you his product is better than another and find out it is worthless. It is another problem altogether to vote for someone that in no way has your interest in mind.

WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE GOVERNMENT. It is up to us to be responsible when we go to the polls to cast our ballot. Our responsibility does not end there either. By staying on top of current events, by being aware ofwhatthe people we elected are doing and by being involved in our own existance will ensure that those who do not perform will not return to power.

What's the use in voting? By using the vote, our constitutional right, we can control who is going to be making the laws and policies that will affect us all.

Our generation is next in line to run this country. By taking a look around me, in my opinion, our parents did us no favors.

Are we going to continue the status quo that has been set up and that is obviously not working or are we going to change it.

We can start now by registering to vote and using that power to our best advantage.

CLONES~ YOU IDIOT ... 1SAID CLONES I

narrow escapes - but every word of it is true. Wallstone's never ending battle just to park within walking distance of his classes touches one's heart.

Here are a few excerpts from this powerful book: "September 5 - First day of school, however, I was forced to miss every class because I could not find a parking space for my car. Most of my time was spent circling Palomar's parking lot like a hawk looking for prey. No game was to be found.

"September 6 - Second day of school, however, I was again forced to miss my classes due to the shortage of spots to park cars. I almost found a space, but a little Italian sports car was there and ruined my high hopes. Why do they make cars so small that you can't see them until you hit them?

"September 7 - For the third day in a row I was absent from class but I did get an education from other desperate parkers. People were actually parking their automobiles in bushes.

"September 8 - I am still a virgin to college as is my car to parking at college.

We're both getting a reputation as goodietwo-shoes ... · "September 11 - The second week of school. Today 1 was arrested by a Broderick Crawford look-a-like from the Campus Patrol for graffiti. I tried to paint my own parking place.

"September 12- Oh, joyful, happy day!

Found a parking space! However, it was so far out in the wilderness that I got dehydrated walking from my car to the campus and had to turn back. Missed classes for the sixth day in a row . ..

"September 13 - Parked in the same place as yesterday but this time I brought a cantine, three days rations, and a boy scout. Finally made it to the campus, but not before running across human skeletons. The boy scout presumed they belonged to other students who failed to make the journey. The day was a waste ·because it had been so long since I had been on campus that I forgot what classes I was enrolled in.

"September 14 - Depths of despair.

Woe's me, woe's me. My regular parking spot was taken and my boy scout eloped with an old lady he was helping across the street. Attempted suicide today. I had a plan to idle my car with my garage door closed, but came home to find that someone else was parked in my garage!

Will this madness never cease?! " September 15 - Drove tow truck to school today. Found parking space very easily, of course, after using the hitch.

Also, was able to remember what classes I had; but after going to the bookstore and finding out how much books cost, I tried suicide again. I tried to run over myself, but I couldn't run fast enough.

"September 16 - Even though it was Saturday, I still went to school. The counselors recommended me for psychiatric care after I tried to bribe college President Scheidt for his parking spot .. ."

It is sure to be a best seller and nothing would make Wallstone happier.

Bridgedale doctors say that even though he is a vegetable (Wallstone won 't even take a shower unless thousand island dressing is substituted for water) that someday he might be normal again. They believe that day will be when something is done about the Palomar College parking problem.

LANCERS DOWN COMETS

Conference play begins

By Bob Hillerman It's easy to see why the Pasadena Lancers were the 1978 Junior College National Champions as they thoroughly humiliated the locals in front of a very frustrated crowd at Vista High School.

After a season opening loss to LA Southwest6-3, Pasadena had beaten Mt. San Antonio 24-21 behind freshman quarterback Dan Marconi. The Lancers then moved down to the Vista stadium last Saturday night where they had little problem putting the Comets away 49-0.

Now 1-2, Palomar will hope to turn things around as they tune up for tomorrow night's game against the Southwestern Apaches at Southwestern. The game will be the first Mission Conference game for the Comets.

From the opening kick-off the locals were outplayed, outsized and outhit. On the second play of the game, Lancer quarterback Dan Marconi gave the ball to running back James DeCuir who went 78 yards down the right side virtually untouched for the first Lancer score.

DeCuir was one of the main reasons for the Lancers quickness as he gained 173 yards on only 11 carries . Lancers' wing back Don Roberts scored the second Lancer touchdown as he took a six yard pass for a 14-0 lead.

On Pasadena's next possession they were able to drive down to the two yard line. On a fourth and two the Comets defense rose to the occasion and stopped the visitors cold and took over on offense.

However, on the first play freshman running back Bob Browne fumbled.

Three seconds later from the one yard line, Lancer running back Mike McLellan scored, capping a 21-0 first half lead.

"They're bigger, stronger and faster than we are," said Comet Coach Mario Mendez. "We're the North County champions, but they are the national champs. There is a big difference."

Coming out of the locker room ahead by 21 , the Lancers refused to let up. After both teams exchanged turnovers the visitors drove 55 yards on six plays. The drive was capped

when running back Reginald Browm scampered in from five yards out.

After gaining over 30 yards in Pasadena's very next drive, Jerry Butler made the score 35-0 on a four yard run for a touchdown . David Baxter made it 42 as he capped a 76 yard six play drive by romping 53 yards down the sideline.

The Comets then started out on their own 15 yard line. But three plays later the locals turned over the ball to the Lancers on the same yardline. The Pasadena team wasted no time putting more points on the board as they went the yardage in four plays, capped by a seven yard run by Joe Flowers, making the score 49-0.

Late in the fourth quarter the Comets made a scoring threat.

Palomar running back Charlie Daniel ran nine times for 39 yards in the drive. The locals moved the ball to the Lancers 15 yardline, but following an incomplete pass and a penalty, defensive back Terry Triplett broke the back of the rally by picking off a Comets pass.

Adaptive P.E. running smoothly

By Kurt Loe Mter a satisfying and successful year, Tracy Jeffery the instructor of the Adaptive Physical Education class, is pleased with the expansion of the class. Despite the addition of an activities class, Jpffery says, "that things are running a lot more smoothly this year than last year."

This is due in part to an introductory course given to the aides during the first week of school.

So when upwards of 40 to 50 students showed up for the com-

bined five days of classes the aides were ready for them .

With the biggest student load in the pool, Jeffery sends them through a series of water oriented exercises.

These exercises are primarily used for increasing their mobility.

However, this year there have been some changes made in order to improve the program. First of all, there has been the addition of an activities class. During the class the students are involved in a number of eye-hand coordination exercises.

With the whole program revolving

around the idea of relaxation and independence, Jeffery has set up various activities such as, weight lifting, push ups, leg lifts and many others.

Secondly, Jeffery will be keeping charts to measure the student's progress. When asked about the amount of progress expected from each student in terms of percentage, Jeffery replied that "each student is different."

Both classes continue to grow and hopefully will be continued next semester.

FOUR ARMS BETTER THAN TWO?- Freshman running back Bob Browne seems to have four arms. Unfortunately four arms wouldn't have helped Browne or the Comets as they lost 49-0 to a tough Pasadena team.

Coach Vi Jeffery's 1978 edition of the Comets' Women's Field Hockey team got off on a winning note by nipping Orange Coast 1-0 in their conference opEner September 21.

The Comets opened their home season yesterday against Mount San Antonio.

In the game against OC Brenda Bass scored the games only goal when she picked off the ball right in front of the net and put it in.

Jeffery said, "They played better than I expected, and we've had only two and a half weeks of practice."

The Comets have returned only four sophomores and must rely heavily on first year players. Jeffery has been high on Barbie Chamberlain and returning veterans Karen Burskirk, Caren Hayek, Lydia Camacho and Janice Matero. Among others on the Comets roster are Rita Ferra!, Susan Dodd and Michele Lisi.

Both Fullerton and Mount San Antonio figure to give Palomar their biggest push for the conference championship. Jeffery feels strongly that Mt. San Antonio will continue to be as strong as three-fourths of their team returns.

Spikers' debut victorious Comet women 's volleyball team made their home deu bt a successful one at the Dome.

After losing the first set the Comets had to fall back before

winning the second and third sets with ease.

In the final set the Comets took a 10-4 lead and looked like they would win easily. The win didn't come easy however. The Mesa Olympians rallied back, but the Comets were able to hold of Mesa and win the final set 17-15.
