event plann ing action

By Jim Duffy Speaking before the Student Legislature Tuesday for the first time since being appointed advisor to the Associated Student Government, Noelia Vela, a counselor, pledged increased involvement with ASG activities .

Vela expressed a "real interest in student activities" pointing her work as advisor to the Student Help Center, a position she will continue to hold, as an example.

After remarking about the lack of effective planning of ASGactivities , Vela stressed the necessity for better organization of ASG events and said that she would work toward accomplishing this goal.

She said that ASG activities should be planned a semester in advance to allow for adequate publicity as well as provide a way in which student organizations could find open dates to plan special events held throughout the year as club functions .

In order to facilitate better response to events , legislator Bob Fusco volunteered to co-ordinate existing plans with clubs and to set definite dates for them.

A tentative schedule of activities has been developed by the legislature for the spring semester, but except for one event, no dates have been set.

That event, a comedy show featuring co median Paul David Blabac, will be held on February 14.

ASG President Bruce Robbins announced that his drive to obtain more benefits for holders of ASG

cards has been successful and is continuing.

An agreement is being worked on with the administration to allow cardholders a discount on the rate charged for the use of the Racquet· ball courts. That rate is now $2 an hour. A discount of up to $1 per hour has been proposed.

Also the ASG is attempting to get a discount rate for cardholders at the book store for non textbook items. It was reported that bookstore discounts such as these have been successful at other colleges.

The legislature , in order to promote card sales during the spring semester, is offering a prize to the student and club that sells the most ASG cards during spring registra· tion.

Two concert tickets and dinners at a local restaurant are to be awarded the individual selling the most cards and a $50 prize will be given the most productive club.

Students were requested to volunteer to man the ASG card sales table at spring registration. Three students for each time slot will be needed to run the booth.

President Robbins said that "registration privileges" will be given to those students who sign up and actually work selling cards. He said that students wishing to volunteer can do so by signing the time board in R4.

The next meeting of the Student Legislature will be January 16 in R1 and all students are invited to attend.

Virgil L. Bergman, Dean of Instruction, will say goodbye to Palomar College today as he ends his 24-year active association with the schooL Bergman, 66, became a member of the staff in 1955 when the college had less than 300 students and only 24 educators. Today, the enrollment nears 15,000 and Bergman has had a hand in hiring most of the 250 staff members now employed.

The Dean will be moving on to the greener pastures of Nairobi , Kenya where he has accepted the head post for one year at the Nairobi campus of U.S. International University. He will be taking over the position from Fred Huber, former Palomar College president, who' ll move onto U.S.I.U.'s London campus.

DEAN OF INSTRUCTION - Virgil Bergman retires from Palomar after 24 years of service. He has accepted a position with USIU in Nairobi, Kenya where he will be replacing ex-Palomar president, Dr. Frederick Huber.

Spring enrollment increase sought to back fall funding

By Karen Ossenfort Ringing out the old and ringing in the new is a familiar New Year's saying and college president Dr. Omar Scheidt hopes that the new year will ring in more students for the spring semester.

hold up which will give me the support for asking for funds for the 1979-80 academic year," he says.

"The fall census, taken the fourth and the tenth week of this semester, showed an 8 WJ'o drop in enrollment, which is probably quite norma l," Dr. Scheidt adds.

"But the question is, how many students will return this spring? The number of returnees will determine whether or not we have the proper enrollment projected for the year which was about 150-152 weekly student contact hours.

"Next semester's enrollment will be an important factor in our planning for next year. This year is pretty well set when it comes to funding," he continues.

"From this office a lot of energy will be devoted to the budget preparation and actually suppor· ting some form of legislative action for funding."

Next year's budget seems to be the big unknown. Dr. Scheidt hopes that through the entering and working of a legisl ative bill , the college can gain some support.

He is in constant touch with the state chancellor's office and works as a participant at the legislative level to try to prepare for next year .

"I'm sure that the funding issue will be on everyone 's minds -staff and students alike- and we hope to keep everyone informed as we receive news regarding it."

Dancers under the direction of Billie Hutchings will appear in concert tonight and tomorrow at 8 p.m. in the dance studio.

A variety of dance styles including ballet, jazz, folk, tap and modern will be included on the program which features four choreographies by Hutchings and several student works under her supervision . Dorothie Bleth has choreographed a ballet and JoAnn MacDonald h as coached a Fold Dance Suite.

A one dollar adm ission fee will be charged at the door .

When first hired Bergman was head of Palomar's speech department then in 1958 he served as the Dean of Humanities. In 1960, he became the Dean of Instruction and has held that position until his retirement. As Dean of Instruction he has had the responsibilities of recruiting and evaluating the staff and setting up the curriculum, and scheduling and budgeting certain areas of the college.

A native of Kansas, Bergman earned his B.S. degree from Northwestern and his M.A. from Stanford. His teaching career began in high school classrooms from 1936 to 1946. After World War II, he joined the speech and theater program at the University of California at Santa Barbara. He moved to the University of Southern California's drama department and was director of the theater for two years. After a stint in private industry and owning his own restaurant he accepted a position here at Palomar.

Bergman said he has many fond memories of the college, "One, as far as students are concerned, was in the early years when there were only a few hundred students and I was director of the forensics team. Those people were so successful in the state and around the country, overcoming difficulties of a small student body, almost no library, and no facilities.

Those were very proud moments when I think back at how much those students did with so much difficulty at this tiny institution. ''I'm going to miss the faculty, the students, my friends, and the job itself," states the Dean. "I've been here so long that I've gotten very accustomed to this place ."

Dean Bergman had a few predictions for Palomar: On the new theater, "I think it's going to be marvelous. I wish I was going to be around to see it." And on the college's future in general, "It'll continue to be one of the fine two year institutions in the state. Our transfer people who've gone on for Baccalaureate degrees have always done extremely well. In the last 15 years, with the build-up of our vocational program, those people have been extremely successful.

"I think Palomar College will continue to be a cultural a nd academic leader in the North County."

Editor bids good-bye to paper; looks ahead to new challenges

By Karen Ossenfort It's hard to believe that the fall semester is already at its end. It seems it just got started and here we are preparing for finals.

Forget the semester! What about the year? It's 1979! Now, that's hard to believe. Just this time last year I was trying to decide what resol utions to make for the new year and this year I'm still trying to decide on last year's resolutions.

EDITORIAL Reflecting on this past year I see that I've learned a lot abo ut myself and people in general.

As editor ofthe Telescope I have had to deal with many diversified personalities - those on staff as well as those that I came in touch with while writing and collecting stories.

I'm thankful for what I have learned. It wasn't all easy going. There were times when I didn't think the sun would shine.

But then again, there were times when I never thought it would stop shining. I'm grateful for both.

The staff that I had working with me was really great! I thank them for putting up with me. I also thank the Graphic Arts people for th eir cooperation. And one

person I can't forget to thank is Fred Wilhelm, Journalism advisor, for his unending patience. It's really been appreciated.

New challenges will face me during the spring semester. The biggest one will be how much I can put into my new classes, the friends hips I'll continue and the new ones I will gain.

A common complaint heard on campus is that Palomar is just a step between high school and college.

Baloney! The median age at Palomar is in the mid-twenties. These people aren't h ere to do anything but learn.

The complainers, I've noticed, are mostly those who come right from high school. It is my belief that these people become discouraged because they aren't challenging Palomar or themselves.

This campus has so much to offer. Here you can receive quality education at no cost or low cost.

The educational opportunities are here.

Take advantage of them!

This is my proposal to you for the new year and the spring semester. Take a challenge. Take a course that is going to really make you think and question. Go for it! There is nothing worse than a lazy mind. We all have the abilities to be creative in any way we choose. The sky is the limit! Happy New Year!

Can energy be basis for new, beneficial Mexico/US relationship? Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

By Kevin Folan President Carter will pay an official visit to Mexico City at the request of President Jose Lopez Portillo on February 14 to 16. In the air in Washington is a National Security Council proposal to assign Mexico a new "high strategic priority" in U.S. foreign policy.

The long-term effects this inauspicious trip could have for both Mexico and the U.S. are profound .

COMMENTARY The major reason for this sudden concern over our long time neighbor is energy, more specifically, oil. In the pragmatic world of international relations this would be reason' enough, even though other factors exist.

Energy, though , particularly in light of the recent OPEC price hike on crude oil and the political instabilities in Iran, is the prime mover. Mexico's hugh new oil reserves, which some experts predict could equal those of Saudi Arabia when fully chartered, could be a vital compo!lent in America 's energy picture, supplymg up to 30 percent ofthe U.S.'s demand for crude oil in the 1980's. The groundwork is in place, as the U.S. now

buys 70 to 80 percent of Mexico's 500,000 barrel a day production.

Mexico, of course, faces tremendous difficulties in developing its buried bonanza. U.S. oil concerns can provide both the capital and the technology, if necessary, but there is concern on the part of some Mexican leaders of too quickly depleting its treasure and of not creating enough jobs for Mexican workers in the process, as oil production requires relatively few workers.

The Boom and Bust cycle can be avoided, however, if the Mexican government limits oil production to a carefully pre-determined figure, such as Saudi Arabia and its 8.5 million barrel a day limit. To combat unemployment (most definitely a problem in a country where the rate of same approaches 50 percent), the Mexican government can in vest some of its oil revenues in labor-intensive industries such as textiles and light manufacturing of many kinds. This wo uld also lend itself to utilizing Mexico 's largely unskilled labor pool. The providing of jobs in Mexico would help too, in slowing the flow of illegal immigrants.

In the final anaylsis, of major import, of course, is how Mexico will wish to define its future relations with the U.S. Long a "poor relation" to the so uth, massive oil revenues and a burgeoning population that could reach 100 million by the year 2000 could combine to make Mexico a world power in its own right. As a "Third World Nation", many Mexican leaders wish to expand relations with other such nations, where anti- U.S. sentiment usually runs high. It will be important for Mexico to clearly define itself as a nation in its own right if it is to emerge as a viable , secure, major democracy of the Western Hemisphere.

Such a factor as this is not as calculahle as the price of a barrel of crude oil, but is of much greater value .

It is only natural that a nation sharing a 1000 mile border with America should occupy a high priority in our foreign policy. Energy, though, can help to be the cornerstone on which a long term relationship, beneficial to both countries, can be built.

Exciting cinematography, a spooky story with sociological undertones , some amazing special effects . . . sounds like the stuff of an exciting sci-fi film. Body Snatchers just isn't exciting, though.

Director Phil Kaufman, determined to make a statement a bout the many human vegetables we meet every day, and to show that the pods have already taken over, so to speak, keeps everyone at so low a key that the film never gets off the ground. Many feel that this take-off the the 1959 version - with pods from a distant planet coming down in the rain over San Francisco and developing into fetuses that grow large enough to replace people as they sleep, while their old bodies crumble into small piles of garbage- is destined to become a new classic.

Perhaps, but I got the impression that the people involved in making this film were on reds, and that's the impression I got of the film, too . .. reds on a Saturday night.

Superman. Starring Christopher Reeve, Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman, Valerie Perrine, and Margot Kidder.

Story by Mario Puzo. This movie will probably be looked upon by cynics as totally unnecessary and undeserving. I thought it was great. It was fun to just sit back and pretend for awhile. Special effects were great. Humor good. Subtle departures from the original Superman story are right for the times. Christopher Reeves was THE PERFECT actor for Superman. A movie I wouldn't be afraid to see again or to bring my little sister to see. PG. -K.O. ••••

California Suite. Starring Alan Alda, Michael Caine, Bill Cosby, Jane Fonda, Walter Matthau, Elaine May, Richard Pryor,and Maggie Smith! Screenplay by Neil Simon. Directed by Herbert Ross.

Claimed to be the best comedy of the new year. I was really disappointed. Sarcasm ran through the film as did some slapstick comedy. Movie began with people arguing and ended up the same way. Friends said that it depicted typical California lifestyles. So what? I wanted to go to the movies to have fun and I left depressed. I must say, though, that the acting was very good- especially Fonda.

Not a movie I'd take anyone under 15 to see. It's an adult comedy . PG. -K.O. ••

BLABAC SCH EDULES SHOW

A MARSUPIAL SATIRE

Kangaroo Courting

Comedy is his life

By Richard Medugno Uni verstiy of Southern California may have had its O.J. Simpson, San Francisco State its S.I. Hayakawa, and Whatsa Madda U. its Benito Mussolini , but Palomar has its PdB, a.k.a. Paul David Blabac.

Blabac, 19, a part-time student, a part-time columnist for the San Marcos Courier, and part-time professional comic-impressionist, is a full-time dynamo of humor.

Palomar College students will have a chance to be entertainerl by the young comedian on February 14 a t 12 noon in P-32. The show is free and is being sponsored by the A.S.G. The humorist works ni ght clubs in the area and has appeared at the Comedy Store in La Jolla. Blabac appeared in a well received show last year for the college.

Armed with pen, paper a nd tape recorder it was this reporter's job to interview Palomar's own "wild and crazy guy." The interview took place in Blabac's office, conveniently located in his home.

Question: Why did you pick Valentine's Day to have your show at Palomar?

Blabac: I like sentimental days.

Like, I did my last show here on Pearl Harbor Day and I'm doing this one on Saint Valentine's Day Massacre so I think it kind of blends together.

Question: What kind of show do you have planned for the students of Palomar?

Blabac: I was hoping to do a few bird calls and for my big finish I'm going to do the splits and kick myself in the back of the head. You know , something simple. No, just my regular show with impressions here and jokes there.

Question: What do you like most about being a comedian?

Blabac: I think being in front of people, making people laugh , and just being a ble to make people feel better. I like all the aspects of it. !like getting paid for it. I like the fact that people listen to you when you talk.

Question: What do you like least about it?

Blabac: Pressure people put on me.

People will talk to me and I may be in a serious mood and they'll say "You're not very funny." The thing I really hate is when people say "Say something funny."

Question: Have you run into many other comedians of your age?

Blabac: I never have. Maybe there's a comedian of my age in Nome. I'm sure they're there. I just haven't met them.

Question: What are your immediate plans for the future?

Blabac: Oh, I don'tknow- have ¡ lunch, take a shower, mow the lawn.

Question: What are your longrange plans?

Blabac: I'd like to take one of those realty courses, you know, in two weekends and become a realtor or maybe go to plumbing school.

There's a lot of good jobs out there.

Seriously, I couldn't tell you. I take it one step at a time.

Question: Do you have an ultimate goal?

Bla hac: To achieve inner peace. Or get a piece .

Question: What's your biggest fear as a comedian?

Blabac: To tell a joke and hear nothing!

Question: Is there a special woman in Paul David Blabac's life?

Blabac: No , but I'm sending out applications. There must be some girls who like the feeble, comedian type .

Question: Who's your favorite comedian?

Bla hac : Grouch a Marx .

Everything about him was funny.

Question: Do you still plan to pose nude for Playgirl magazine?

Blabac: NO, because I think those staples would hurt. Plus I would need four sections.

Questions: What is the reaction of people when you tell them you are a professional comedian?

Blabac : They usually hide their daughters. No , most people are interested and ask questions.

Question : Who's your favorite writer on the Telescope staff?

Blabac: Oh, what's his name?

Ronald McDugno . He's a fine writer, not bright but a fine writer.

Question: Which of these questions have been your favorite?

Blabac: That one .

Question: Any words in closing?

Blabac: Yes , good-bye. And never darken my towels again.

No doubt history will repeat itself on February 14 in P-32 a nd there'll be another massacre when Blabac knocks 'em dead with his fast puns , h ard-hitting humor, a nd sharpshooting impressions.

Herman Lansky was the average All-America n-Australian kangaroo.

He was average looking with a n average personality. Herman's love life was a lso average. He met fema le kangaroos , better known as kangarettes, and he would hop around with one for awhile until he grew tired of her and then he would jump with so meone else. This was the average love li fe of a kangaroo .

Gelinda Gaucho was a fema le kangaroo, better known as a kangarette, who was somewhere between a verage a nd not average.

She had a body that wouldn 't quit.

In other words, Gelinda was gorgeous . (Many of the male kangaroos compared her to a camel.)

Unfortunately, Gelinda was way below average in the pers<;m ality department. She knew what her good points were and used them to her fullest advantage.

Brute Jackson was a male kangaroo. He was very , very strong for a kangaroo. Brute also h ad a very, very strong desire for female kangaroos , better known as kangarettes. (He was specially fond of those that were compared to camels .)

Herman met Gelinda at a party one night. Gelinda made the first move when she walked up to him and said, "Hi, fella. You know you're a very attractive leaper." This was Gelinda's usual first line. Then she used h er second one, " I don't say this to many male kanga roos, but I would really like to get into your pouch." (I know male kangaroos don't have pouches but just go a long with it to make the story good.)

Herman was taken aback. He had never been approached by such a lovely leaper in such a way. Then she stated her third line, "Let's go somewhere after the party.'' Herman nodded his hea d instantly.

Gelinda left Herman with his tongue hanging out.

Brute met Gelinda at the same party. Gelinda made the first move. " Hi , fella. You know , you're a very, very attractive hopper." Brute was not taken aback. He just nodded and said, "I know. " Then Gelinda said, "I don 't say this to many roos but I would really like to get into your pouch." Again Brute said, "I know."

Gelinda had one more line to go, "Let's go somewhere after the party." Brute co nsented without a thought, which was not unusual for Brute because he couldn 't think.

Gelinda left Brute with his tongue hanging out of his mouth.

When Herman met Brute the party was over. Gelinda loved to ha ve ma les fighting over her , so she was in the highest spirits when Brute and Herman started kn ocking each other on their tails. The battle was long a nd painful but Brute prevailed as the winner when he jumped on Herman's head , bending his ears. And as everyone knows when a ka ngaroo 's ears get bent the picture becomes fuzzy and the fight's over.

Gelinda rushed to the side of the hurting Herman. Gelinda did have some compassion. She told Brute to get lost, which was easy for him to do since he never knew where he was. To misquote an old cliche, Herman had " .. . won th e war but lost the battle." Gelinda took Herman home with her and nursed him through the night. However, the next morning when the badly bruised Herman woke Gelinda was gone.

Herman hurt now , both physically and emotionally.

The mora l of this story is: He who fights for a woman today, will feel more ofthe fight than of her tomorrow.

Campus archeologists dig new laboratory facilities Archeology students can take advantage of some of the best laboratory facilities in San Diego county now that the new archeology lab has opened on campus, according to Abraham Gr uber, Anthropology instructor here.

The lab, which has been a dream

Graphic Arts 18 cancels class next semester Because of recent legislation and staff changes, the day schedule for Graphic Arts classes has changed slightly.

Graphic Arts 18, Offset Press Operation, will be cancelled but Graphic Arts 10, 12, 14 and 16 will be offered as listed in the Spring 1979 Class Schedule .

Graphic Arts 12 covers the printing industry, type for offset printing, techniques of paste-up, as well as binding operations. It involves a 1 hour lecture and 6 hours lab per week.

Graphic Arts 14, Phototype Composition, will be given for the first time since Spring 1978. Students will cover operation of computer typesetting equipment as well as fundamentals of type design, the point system, type identification and mark-up. They will also learn of its uses in publishing and with various word processing systems.

This class also involves a 1 hour lecture plus 4 hours lab per week.

Please see the instructor to arrange these hours in the lab.

Graphic Arts 16, Process Camera Operation, covers the use of the process camera in various printing processes.

For further information, contact Letty Brewster in the GJ building or phone 744-1150, Ext. ~ 06.

of the Archeology Program since 1974, was finally completed over Christmas vacation. Dr. Paul Ezell, a former professor at San Diego State University, Ann Haney, Chairperson of the Behavioral Sciences Department here , and Gruber were the ones to originate the idea of the lab.

Says Gruber, "The new lab is as fine a facility as a ny you'll find in any community college in thP- state.

We are all very pleased with the progress of our archeology program here. I would say that our program is the strongest archeology program in the county right now."

He explains that due to the California Environmental Quality Act, an archeologi cal survey must be done before any excavating for such projects as housin g developments and dams can begin.

"The act gives us a rationale for existence ll says Gruber. "The paraprotessional archeological certificate courses that Palomar offers in archeological surveying and in archeological excavation began as an experimental program with the state. Now, every one of our students is employed, and there is a constantly growing demand for more trained people in the field."

The archeology classes a re taught

by Dr. Dennis O'Neil, who joined the Palomar faculty in 1975.

Gruber describes the lab as fully equipped, and says that it has sinks, lab tables , casts of skulls for study purposes, a drafting table, storage areas, chemicals for soil testing, excavatio n equipment and a number of lab tools .

Finally, Gruber says, "The whole program is very oriented toward protecting the environment.

Through careful excavation we are able to conserve our native heritage ."

He feels that with the added learning possiblities that the new lab offers, the process of conservation will be greatly enhanced.

Jeanie Reynolds, a second semester nursing student here, has been selected to represent Palomar on January 16 at a luncheon-panel discussion sponsored by the Rancho Bernardo chapter of the American Association of University Women .

Reynolds will be one of four students to attend the luncheon. The other three women are university students from local universities.

The purpose of the panel discussion, acrording to Reynolds, is to find out what is happening with women in college today, and to gather information about the various programs and support systems available to women attending colleges and universities. The members of the AA UW wish to hear about how women are coping with the college experience.

Reynolds says of her selection as a representative, "I'm very honored by it. Maybe I can do something to make people aware of what is going on with women in college, and help to make the experience easier for other women."

Reynolds has a family with two children, and also works part time, in addition to attending Palomar.

She feels that the system needs to be more supportive and understanding of women in this position. She thinkB that people must revise their

Administrators tell financial woes

By Malca Lazareck "You can't spend the same dollar twice!"

This is the opinion of Dr. John Schettler, Assistant Superintendent in Charge of Business. This is also the cry of education, the clamor of all services relying on tax money to function.

Schettler is first and foremost a teacher. He diagrams and explains in detail points he is making concerning the financial state of Palomar.

He worries about the future. "The school is operating this year on an Emergency Law which does not extend into next year."

Palomar operates strictly on a tax structure from the state. Federal monies are earmarked for programs which are not part of the mainstream. These include student grants, extended work grants a nd vocational education.

When Proposition 13 passed, Continuing Education or Adult Education, which features non-credit classes, faced a major crisis. These classes, except for English as a Second Language and Spanish as a Second Language, became tuition courses.

Dr. Theodore Kilman, Dean of Continuing Education and Community Services, described his department as "self-s upporting. The college or the state pays nothing toward Adult Education."

Before Proposition 13 students over 18 had access to programs geared to self-improvement.

"The new client is the adult client," said Dr. Kilman. "Now the situation has changed."

The history of this predicament is easily traced. In 1975 Governor Jerry Brown said ad ult education was "the biggest growth area" in the state's budget. It has been the subject of intense controversy ever since.

That year the state legislature placed a retroactive 50 percent "cap" as an attempt to restrict the number

of persons served. This "cap" affected all district's programs. It took place five months after students enrolled and budgets were adopted.

Now the law permits districts to set fees for non-credit classes which Palomar's governing board decided to do. They determined one dollar an hour be charged for instruction.

Community services reaches into the area seeking trained people in a variety of fields. Sometimes the department is approached by persons interested in furthering or sharing their special interest. Then a class will be initiated.

Classes are set up on a risk basis with enrollment of 18-25 students required. Some classes have been cut due to lack of interest.

Dr. Kilman said it was "uncertain if charges for adult ed ucation would rise ."

California is the only state which does not charge tuition in its junior colleges. "But the time may come soon when this will change," Dr. Schettler added, "If taxes don 't raise enough money , larger cuts will be required ."

"Teachers in adult education h ave already taken a cut in salary," Dr. Kilman disclosed. · "So far, Dr. Schettler continued, "80 percent of monies goes for wages and salaries."

This year the college has cut out 25 percent of all telephones, teaching aides, new equipment, except where federally funded, student services, instructional supplies and replacement of equipment.

"We can't run this way for very long," added Schettler.

Governor Brown has asked all colleges to prepare budget cuts of 10 percent for 1979-1980.

Under the governor's jurisdiction the state's financial department controls the money coming to Palomar. The problem gets larger.

Dr. Schettler continued: " We can't afford to cut 10 percent more without

cutting programs. This means there is no opportunity for the student to · take what he wants."

Specially-funded programs mandat.ed by the state are first to be cut.

Designated funds are to be used only for restricted programs. Special interest groups do better as they lobby at the state level.

Dr. Schettler also said that "repairs to buildings are on-going problems. We've had a major electrical problem requiring thousands of unbudgeted dollars to rectify the situation. Now the roof on the gymnasium is under repair, and we don't know what else will require attention."

What about teachers' salaries?

Laws enacted by the state legislature allow for no increase in salaries. Formerly 3 1/z percent was allowed as advancement in teachers' earnings.

Instructors wanted 6 1/2 percent increase to match the inflation growth. The request was denied.

"If the pinch continues, salaries may revert back to the level of 10 years ago. Those would mean a cut of 37 percent," Schettler stated.

Before Proposition 13, the tax situation in this area was good. The college was getting 65 cents of every $100 collected from the taxpayer.

We can't blame Proposition 13 for all the ills, said Dr. Schettler. We are living with a high inflation. We are in our third year of static growth. In fact, we've declined in the last three years in numbers.

"We have more bodies on campus, but not as full-time students.

Average Daily Attendance, or ADA is dropping, but teachers can't be dropped. " We need them. We never know our enrollment except by registration each semester. We have to inform teachers by March 15 if we need them, and we don't know our projection until the following year."

The level of classes is not constant.

Palomar College draws students from an area of approximately 2000 square miles -from the county line to the Salton Sea. The area includes Camp Pendleton, Riverside, Penasquitos Canyon and has increased with the addition of Ramona, Julian and Borrego Springs.

This area is booming with growth.

"Many people moving here are not wage earners. They are not actively involved in community living. They are investors , and require more money in terms of services than they pay in taxes," Schettler indicates.

This is the retirement factor . The wage earner keeps the economy moving. Money is constantly circulating in terms of his living requirements. His family has needs which increase with their growth.

If we can't "use the state surplus twice" ... if we have more part time students ... if we have more adults wishing to continue their education ... then ...

According to Deans Schettler and Kilman, rising costs and shrinking tax monies will have to be met with paid tuition. Both agree that community involvement will play a vital role in the continuing services of our junior college.

KSM requests records Students with old or novelty 45 rt?cords and albums may bring them to the campus radio station, KSM, in 'room Q-3 before Monday. KSMstaff member Dave Emory needs the records for his special show "The Warped Record Hour" to be presented later this month.

Students may also contribute a list of songs, out of which the best will be chosen and the winning DR. J~HN SCHETI'LER- Assistant Superintend~nt in Charge contributor may be given a guest of Busmess stops to ponder Palomar's future financial situation. spot on the radio .

STUDENT HELP CENTER- Director Maureen Rouse pauses to reflect on her duties in helping Palomar students.

Stude nt he I p center pu rsuing new image

By Mike Johnson "Few people realize we even exist," claims Maureen Rouse, a small woman who replaces size with energy. However, with her the Student Help Center is breaking through the apathy and indifference that recently engulfed the ASG, by actively pursuing a new image.

"We want people to know that students do care about other students," the perky director said.

Staffed and operated by students, the Help Center has been an informal campus drop-in center since 1970.

A new director with new directions this year, Rouse evidences the Center's image: casual, comfortable and concerned. "We're not a formalized agency. We help students in any way we can," she explained.

A student walks in, seeking a refund for money lost in a vending machine. Rouse pays him after he fills out a slip, stuffing it into a box crammed with refund receipts.

Another student comes in looking for the lost and found department.

She directs her to the Bookstore.

Students are examining the housing and ride board. In the meantime, Rouse sits on a sofa talking to a student. Things are busy, but they weren't always that way. · At the beginning of this semester, a lack of visibility and student involvement forced a low profile for the Help Center. Other than word-ofmouth, publicity was reduced to students who accidently stopped in to see what was there. In addition, changes in staff limited any longterm planning or continuity.

Proposition 13 also dealt a severe blow, by cutting off funds to the center's sponsor, the ASG. The budget for 1978-79 was cut down $2,000 from the previous year, to a limit of $7,000 for this school year.

But now with an established staff of six, the center is planning for the rest of this year. Staff members, who are also full-time students, have been putting in extra hours to get the center open on a regular basis. Since they are limited to from seven to 15 hours per week, the staff relies heavily on volunteers.

Unfortunately, few people have volunteered to help the center, so

staff members have been more busy " manning" than "planning". "If we only had more volunteers, we could get down to business," Maureen said. "We need more creativity a nd input as to what the students themselves think they need."

The Help Center's most successful service to date has been the Tutorial Program, headed by Jacob Berghuis. At no charge the program matches· up students needing tutors with students who will tutor (already having the specific class).

Tutors, who must be enrolled in classes at Palomar and have received at least a B in the class to be tutored, are paid $2.70 per hour from a budget of $1,000 this year. Last year as many as 400 students were tutored. At this time almost 40 people are being tutored.

Another aspect of the center is a referral service. listing agencies and organizations off-campus that help people. Housing, legal aid, medical care and professional counseling are just a few services that can be arranged for students in need. Oncampus information is also available regarding directions, activites or people. In the process of being expanded and updated, the referral system is increasing contacts, becoming as diverse as the needs of students at Palomar.

Headed by Jeff Kullmann, the student information booth has final ly opened up in the Student Union.

As an extension of the Help Center, the booth gives directions and referrals, in addition to offering a variety of literature ranging from ecology to drug abuse. Hours are Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.

The Student Help Center also operates the book sale program at the beginning of each semester.

Offering textbooks at belowbookstore prices, the book sale serves as a liaison between students who want to sell books and those who want to buy them. Last year over 1,000 books were handled.

"People make up the Student Help Center," stated Rouse. "People who care, who always have an ear to listen and the time to talk."

THE LAZARECKS - Jack, Malca, and Mira (bottom) take time off from Palomar studies and enjoy a few moments together.

Three fa-:nily members seek educational skills One North County family provides three students to Palomar College.

Mira Lazareck, a morning student ma]onng in Fashion Merchandising, Jack, a night student accumulating requirements towards a teaching certificate, and Malca, a journalism student, the mother who moved to the area form North Dakota three years ago.

During that period of time, Mira completed high school and was "influenced by the merchandising class I took in my senior year."

"Everything I do fits into my scheme of things or I would not choose to do it." A very positive statement from a young man who believes a person must be selfreliant.

Tall, sparse, with curly hair, bearded, his long fingers wave the air with enthusiasm as he describes a non-traditional skill-oriented education where children would learn basics . . . "a reading, writing, math program combined with a growing experience of learning to build and repair."

She told of working in the student store at Mt. Carmel, and how school took on a new meaning for her. "I actually looked forward to each day, where before I didn't really care."

Now with her m_ajor decided, she is able to combine learning with a job in a fast food restaurant.

When asked why she doesn't work in her field she replied, "Last Christmas I did work in a clothing store, but I didn 't care for the personnel. I am looking for a job in my field as I need work experience for my degree." In the meantime she's making some money and getting experience working with people.

One day he would like to have his own school where this combination could be taught.

Jack is not sure if he will remain in California, but does feel he can equip himself here to survive anywhere.

This too , is selling, only not as much effort goes into it. As Mira explained, "in a clothing store prices are higher, there are many choices to make and people don't really have to buy. Many come just to look. But in a restaurant people are there because they're hungry, so they do buy."

Her big blue eyes danced as she explained her future as best as she could foresee it. She is interested in department store selling with an emphasis on co-ordinating fashion shows.

Not interested in extremes of behavior or dress, Mira gives the impression of knowing what she can do and how far her abilities can take her.

Jack seems to know his future and goes about realizing it in a different way. A two year former Vista volunteer, he is concerned with "teaching basic skills for social survival." A cum laude graduate of the University of North Dakota, Jack sees himself as searching for "constant opportunities to try and enjoy himself." And for the most part he feels he is succeeding.

He tells you directly that,

When not studying he works for an independent contractor, "thus reinforcing my own learning experience."

Malca began writing a little over a year ago with Daisy Johnson, who currently is teaching Creative Writing in a Continuing Education Course sponsored by Palomar. "I decided I needed a new approach, a reality in how things really worked, and thought I'd try journalism in a small way."

The Journalism Production Class in which she enrolled meets only once a week. "I don't devote too much time to myself as yet, but everything I do is done to increase the quality of time I do give myself."

A wife and mother who still has three of her five children at home, Malca has many interests, gardening and dramatics which began in her younger days in Winnipeg, Canada, and words. "Words and thoughts seem to float through my day. I'm forever pre-occupied, no matter what else I may be doing."

In her childhood she would com- : pose rhymes and play-act on stage and in private. Many hours were passed in this fashion.

As time becomes hers, she would like to take the ideas that flash into her mind and use them constructively in poetry, short stories, or perhaps a novelette. "I am a dreamer.

Sometimes dreams come true."

Sculpture strikes int res

Sculptures dot the Palomar landscape. Harry Bliss' ({Razzamatazz" (above), a gift from the artist, is welded metal in the form of yellow lightning bolts. Kenneth Capps donated the orange, green, and silver welded iron on concrete (below). Kenneth Hassick did the welded iron sculpture on concrete (right) which was purchased by the ASG in 1969. The last Michael Pickens donated the metal and concrete form (lower right).

By Beverly Haight Have you noticed the pieces of sculpture around campus, and wondered what they represent or who created them?

Some have been acquired by the Dwight Boehm Gallery through gifts or direct acq uistion, but most of the pieces were done by students on campus as assignments of their art class, then donated to the gallery.

Some students have gone on to do other subjects and have had shows all over the country.

One student, Kenneth Capps, has a number of works on campus, and has had shows in Los Angeles and New York. Many of his works have been sold to European collections.

Russell Baldwin, Art Director of the Boehm Gallery, describes Capps as a "young, aggressive, on-his-way artist."

Baldwin believes that works of sculpture and art are a necessity to the cultural life of this campus.

Enthusiastically he says, "I'd like to fill the campus with sculpture, starting here, meaning the Art Department, and extending throughout the campus."

Most of the pieces are near the Art Department now, because of vandalism. The word "vandalism" is hard for Baldwin to say. "Some pieces have already been vandalized. An onlooker gets the impression that this destruction has been a direct assault on him personally.

One of the pieces of sculpture in the Art Department alcove is on loan from the internationally known and respected artist, Michael Todd. It is one of many subjects from his own collection .

One piece of sculpture acquired by the gallery, has been on display at the Salk Institute.

Some of the stories behind the works of sculpture have not all been happy. The piece of sculpture that now stands by the library entrance, was done by a student named Michael Pickens. The piece was his statement oflife. Michael committed suicide at the age of 28, about eight years ago.

There are many more works of sculpture in storage that may never be seen because they need bases or foundations.

"Most of the works in the Boehm Gallery meet the standards of museums such as those in New York and Los Angeles ," says Baldwin.

The Boehm Gallery holds a show

in the spring, but including famous artists takes a long time in preparation. The last show took two and a half years before it was finalized.

Students and well known artists works were exhibited.

It has taken eleven years for the gallery to get the recognition and a good reputation, so the artists will exhibit their work.

Baldwin has many plans for a future fund-raiser that would be used toward the building space needed. With the right space, securitv and humidity control, the gallery could hold bigger and better shows,

which would give them the opportunity to apply for foundation grants.

Has Proposition 13 had any effect? Baldwin sighs and has visions of his dream of the fundraiser possibl y put aside temporarily or indefinitely. He says, "We have a fine Art Department, but I'm frightened of what might happen."

Without funds the gallery could close. If this happens even for one season, the reputation of the gallery a nd the availability of works from well known artists for future shows could be gone.

Having suffered a defeat to San Bernardino last year that cost them an undisputed conference title, Coach Andy Gilmour's basketball squad was out for revenge January 6.

However, this was not to be the case, as they dropped a 65 to 60 decision to the Indians. Palomar will tangle with arch rival Saddleback tomorrow night in the Gauchos' lair.

Led by Mike Babin, the Comets, trailing several times by six points, bounced back late in the first half when Babin scored as he was fouled, giving him a chance to pull Palomar within one.

However, the ensuing free throw missed, giving San Bernardino the ball with less than twelve seconds remaining in first half action. Babin

at Arizona tourney

By Bob Hillerman Head Coach John Woods packed his bags and left with his Comet wrestlers for the hot, dry and humid state of Arizona last weekend for the Arizona Western Dual Tournament.

Hot temperatures and tough opponents had little effect on the Comets as the locals returned home with the A WDT championship.

Ranked fourth in California the Comets got their biggest win of the season when they rolled past Phoenix College 36-12. Phoenix College is presently ranked fourth in the nation .

"We wrestled great," said Woods.

"We won the tournament without two of our starters."

Another highly ranked team in the tournament, Grand Rapids of Michigan ranked 11 in the nation finished in a second place tie with Phoenix College with 102 1/2 points.

Mesa and Glendale both fell victims to the Comet matmen as the locals downed Mesa 33-11 and demolished Glendale 60-0.

Moorpark, ranked seventh in California will host the Comets Tuesday. "We've never faced Moor-

park before so we don't know exactly how tough they really are," said Woods.

El Camino is ranked third and will host the locals January 24. "El Camino is very tough. They 've beat us in ever tournament that we've faced them in. We have't faced them in a dual match yet, and we're looking forward to it," commented Woods.

Last year's state champion Chris Cain at 134 lbs., took a first place victory in the Phoenix win, while Bryan Canada at 142 lbs. and Jim Daris, heavyweight, also finished in first.

Joe Pascetti at 181 lbs. finished third with Joe Hamilton at 126 lbs. and Bobby Welnick at 177 lbs. joining Pascetti in third. Wrestling at 150 lbs., Jeff Dorwart took fourth place and Kevin Woods at 167 lbs. took home fifth.

Final tournament standings looked this way: (1) Palomar 105 1/2, (2 & 3) Phoenix College102 1/ 2 and Grand Rapids 102 1/2, (4) Arizona Western 93 1/2, (5) Teima 90 112, (6) Mesa 45, (7) Barstow 35 and Glendale finished eighth with 24.

Jones, Webber, Jordan win After finishing a 3. 9 mile course Jim Jones, Louise Webber and Nancy Jordan each went home with a free turkey for Thanksgiving.

The 3.9 mile course started at Palomar College went down Frontage to San Marcos Boulevard, then up Mission and back to the College.

The object was to guess the time that you thought it would take you to run the course.

Runners competed in three different divisions. The winners from each division received a turkey while the top four winners in each division were given T-shirts.

In the men's division Jim Jones was the winner. Jones picked his

time closer than anybody in the competition, missing his time by only five seconds. David Cook finished second, Karl Alsin third and Coach Milse Curran fourth.

Louise Webber won the Women's division missing her time by 43 seconds. Chapman finished second, Largent third and Wilson fourth.

Heading up the Master division Nancy Jordan finished first and missed her time by one minute and two seconds. Doc Marrin was second, Tony Lynds third and Ann Abreau fourth.

picked off an Indian's pass and fired a desperate shot that went awry at the buzzer.

In the second half the locals rallied from a 12 point deficit to go ahead by two with a little over two minutes left on Ivan "Scrappy" Hamilton's basket.

Misfortune struck Palomar during the next two minutes when San Bernardino scored the last seven points. Babin led Palomar scorers with 15 points, while Hamilton and forward Duane Gatson had 13 and 12 points, respectively.

Three nights earlier, Palomar appeared to suffer a letdown as they fell to Fullerton 67-55.

The Comets got off to a slow start in the first half before pulling within one on a Gatson jumper which sent them into the locker room with a score of 29-28.

Fullerton opened things up in the second half as they widened their lead to eight points with a little less than ten minutes remaining.

However, the Comets began to turn things around as Darrel Maxwell hit a jumper and Gatson, who went on to hit eleven out of fourteen shots and score a game high of 22 points, drilled home an eight foot jump shot, pulling Palomar within four points at 47 to 43.

This did not last long as the visitors pulled away for good with 8:37 remaining, to win the game.

Led by Hamilton, the tournament's most Valuable Player, the Comets got back on the winning track when they captured their second consecutive Palomar Comet Classic Basketball tournament December 29. The Comets, led by Hamilton's 20 points, defeated highly ranked Glendale College 79 to 76 in the championship finals.

Glendale was unable to get any closer than seven points after they led by one late in the second half.

Palomar's consistent outside shooting kept the visitors at bay, despite Glendale's pulling within one point with five seconds to go.

One night earlier, College of the Canyons succumbed to the locals 87 to 83. Palomar jumped out to a quick 10 to 4 lead and were never really headed until late in the game. They were led by the blistering shooting of forward Gatson with 18 points, Babin with 13 points, Davila, 14 points, and Hamilton's 18.

Palomar opened the tournament when they whizzed past West L.A. 82 to 72. They were led once again in scoring by Hamilton's 22 points and Davila's 20 points. The tournament wins enabled the Comets to raise their season record to seven and six.

On December 22, the Comets suffered a heart breaking loss 66 to 65 to the Mesa Olympians when Bamin's desperation 18 footer fell short in overtime. Gatson's 16 points led the team in scoring.

Despite the return of Davila, Palomar dropped a 72 to 68 decision to Rio Hondo on December 19.

Davila and Babin led the team in scoring with 21 and 22 points respectively.
