Child Development Center seeks funding

By Nancy Leman Controversy, confusion, and consternation have reigned lately concerning Child Care.

Student parents have voiced concern over lack of Child Care facilities and political science professor Dr. Pat Archer has championed their cause.

It's been a real cliffhanger. While discussions and meetings proceeded concerning an additional building for the center, they came very close to losing the building they are in when the county threatened to recall the temporary structure, due to a ruling that temporary buildings must be returned after ten years. It now looks as though Child Care may be able to purchase the structure for a verv nominal fee.

In the excitement Child Care went

and changed its nam e. It is now called the Child Development Center.

As the semester draws to a close, we find the new Child Development Center tenaciously a nd gratefully still ens co nced in its permanent/temporary old quarters , and searching for funds to finance a brand new building.

Archer claims, "The administration panicked and cut Child Development funds which hurts the college, because they get ADA (Average Daily Attendance) for the students who attend, and many are unable to because of lack of child care. Women with children must register for classes before they can take advantage of child care. By the tim e they get their classes , the Child Development Center is often full.

According to Nadine Abbott, Sile Director of the Child Development Center, "We have twice as many people applying for child care than we ca n serve. Right now we have 67 students on our waiting list. We have appli ed for a license for 74 children for the two buildings." The Center includes both facilities formerly called the Children 's Center a nd the Ch ild Development Laboratory School.

Co ntinu es Archer, "One way for the Center to be restored to the capacity it was before Proposition l:) is for the co llege administration to reb udget the Center. and the second is for Student Government to step in and assist in the cost of maintainin!l Child Development. Another way to expand would be to move th e community co-ops that have been

created by the Women 's Center to an on-campus location. The administration's argument that they ca nnot afford a n expa nd ed Child Development Center because of the increase in the cost of insura nce is not a valid one. The ADA that would be created by the addi tiona] enrollm ent would offset the expe nse."

However, Dr. Omar Scheidt, Palomar President contends , "We h ave no availabl e rooms. We really don't have any spaces that cou ld be used eight hours every day." He points out that. "ADA is for general operation of the campus , not for capital outlay. Before Proposition 13 we had the privilege of taxing for facilities for Ch ild Care Development Programs. We are now working at the state leve l to come up with a new funding process for capital

Bookswap begins Feb. 4 Students wanting to buy or sell used textbooks may do so at the Student Help Center Bookswap in room R-3 beginning February 4.

Designed to help students circulate unneeded texts and earn money in the process, the Bookswap has become an economical alternative to buying books at the campus bookstore, according to Warren Wilson, acting director of the Student Help Center. " It would be a good idea for students to check out the Bookswap for the books they need before spending $10-$20 on new books. The prices are low because people selling books through the bookswap are content with earning a few dollars on books they won't need any longer. The sellers aren't out to make a killing."

Books are brought into the bookswap by students, who after deciding what price they wish to charge are given a receipt for each book they wish to sell. After two weeks, the students return to the Bookswap and are given their money or their book in exchange for the receipt, depending whether their book was sold or not.

Wilson claims the percentage of books sold is "about 80 percent of what is turned in. But one has to take into consideration that some books are in higher demand than others. 'Beginning Bricklaying for

Drug workshop free to public Current information on research and social issues surrounding drugs will be offered to the public in a free workshop February 5 from 7-10 p.m.

Sponsored by the Palomar Women's Programs, the event will be held at the Vista Girls' Club, 735 A venida de Benito.

Jay Delaney from MITE, North County Center in Oceanside, is the workshop leader. Delaney, who holds a Master's Degree in counseling and guidance, works as a counselor in drug programs for more than six years.

Basic facts on all of the different drugs, what they are, what effect each one has, varying effects from varying doses, and long term effects, will be given at the beginning of the session. Following this, the discussion will open up for questions on, and answers to , current issues on drugs. The conflicts and various relationships, that arise between parents and their children over this matter is one of the very important issues to be dealt with.

For more information on the workshop, phone Dolores Rollman at 744-7140 or 727-6530.

Women' is a hard-sell compared to Intermediate Algebra or English 29.

But we want books for any class offered during the semester, as long as they are the proper edition."

The Student Help Center spokesman also urges students to turn books in early. "It increases the chance of selling a book if it is turned in early. The Bookswap staff also wants to have a good supply of all titles as early as possible because we're expecting a large demand."

"The Bookswap is a student service," Wilson concluded. "This semester we look forward to more students making use of it. With shorter lines and less expensive books, it's a bit of a wonder why all students don't at least check it out."

In order to beef up their supply, the Student Help Center staff will be accepting books for the Bookswap during Spring registration in R-1 on January 29, 30 and 31.

Women's Center has events Several events are planned by the Women 's Center for 1980. Its goal is to meet the needs of student women in all age groups, and the services and upcoming events have been programmed with that in mind .

As part of its goal to open up communications between men and women, it is planning a program on February 19 centered on th e awardwinning film Men's Liues. A discussion of the film 's issues will follow, with Harry Brad leading the men 's group and Lynette Trier the women's. The two groups will later merge and exchange ideas and feelings .

A program on the dangers of nuclear energy is scheduled in late February, with guests from the Community Energy Action Network , and a film My Three Children by Helen Caldicott, a noted pediatrician and safe-energy activist. Also coming in February is a program / demonstration on body massage using the Trager Method.

In the planning stage, but without a definite date , are workshops on "How To Be Your Own Therapist," "Menopause," " How to Leave Your Parents ," a program dealing with the issues of young , single people, "Single Parenting," and two programs for men and women, "How to Leave a Relationship."

The Center plans to run two consciousness-raising (C.R.) groups for women next semester, as well as ongoing support groups for women leaving a relationship.

The Child-Care Co-op is being reorganized together with a training session on how to do that. For those interested in using the Co-o p, please

contact Patty Walker at the Women's Center. ext. 257.

A booth may be avail able at registration to pass out information about the Women's Center and to assess the needs of incoming students through a questionnaire.

Students are urged to contact the Center if they have a room to rent or need housin g.

The Women 's Center operates on a limited budget a nd welcomes donation s of time and talent, useful equipment, books. art a nd money . It is looking forward to making contact a nd growing with the students and faculty in the coming year.

Registration urged for next semester Priority registration is scheduled for January 24-29. Students are urged to enroll for the spring 3emester here.

According to registrar Herman Lee, "Those who are not already currently enrolled, but who plan to attend Palomar during the spring semester need to come into the college admissions office and fill out their applications for priority registration."

Spring semester begins February 4.

The college ad mi ssions office is open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., a nd Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

For further information, contact the registrar or ad missi ons office at 714-1150 or 757-7529.

Paleolithic art shows in library Original interpretations of arts a nd crafts from the beginning of the Paleolithic period through the 19th century will be displayed in the Palomar library through J a nuary 25.

Inspired by slides, books and discussion, history of art students at the college created original works as their semester projects , using various media such as clay, stone, wood, paper mache , pen and ink mosaic , fresco and paint.

Choosing either the original art medium, a suitable substitute or an original medium , each student duplicated actua l works of art or crafts or rendered free interpretations of a former style of an a rtist or movem ent.

The art objects in the show range from paintings, drawings and sculpture to crafts objects.

Many of the art history students are not art majors . It is the first time for many to get involved with the art process -to go through the pains of creati ng something, and to thoroughly explore a medium. The display is an excellent exploration of the history of man through his art.

Palomar art classes participating in the show are: History of Art 20 (Paleolithic through the Gothic period) taught by Rita White, and History of Art 24 (]9th Century Art) instructed by Donn a Sakakeeny.

Library hours are 7 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Mond ays through Thursdays , 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Fridays and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays.

outlay and to identify the source for that."

Teresa Kessinger is a pre-med student with two children. She feels, " There is a desperate need for child care. There are mothers who would like to attend school who cannot. A child care co-op staffed entirely by mothers is a functioning alternative , but not the best answer for the children's sake. " And Kessinger makes the point that, "When your child is enrolled in the Child Development Center, frequently the mother is required to enroll in a Child Development course, which involves three hours a week. While this course is excellent and very well taught , many mothers would prefer to spend the three hours on their major. To me, this seems a method of providing free workers to staff the day care center. " And Abbott has an answer for that. "It sure is!" she bristles. "I explained that up front when we began . We need the extra help and we need the ADA that it generates.

One of the student's majors is that of being a parent, and I feel very strongly that just because God gave them a child, it doesn't automatically make them an expert parent.

"Next semester the class will be called 'Child Development Center Parent Participation'," says Abbott which involves three hours a weekone of lecture and two of working with the children. However , this is only necessary the first semester. In the ensuing semesters, parents can take one or two hours. Many don 't want the class to end after the first semester and are not happy about just doing lab work . They miss the lecture time of the class."

Abbott concedes that she knows it's a drag for some parents, that they know what she's telling them, but that many do not. She offers, "A lot of people say that children don 't belong on campus, but if we are improving little children and their families , by the broad definition of a community college, we are improving the community."

Donna Jagla , a physical education major with a four year old feels, "We have to have more buildings.

My little girl has to eat outside and stay ,outside because there's no room.

Member of the Faculty Senate and nutrition teacher Margaret Gunther offers this advice. "There might be more room for student's children if they would arrange classes in the afternoon next semester. That is when space would most likely be available since most people sign up for early morning classes.

Jagla continues, "I would like everyone to know there are at least six different ways for Child Development to be funded and that it doesn 't come from individuals, especially those without children."

According to Abbott, Child (Continued on page 4)

Opinion Commentary/Editorials

New decade rings in the New Year

By Gabrielle Butler With yet another Christmas past and the start of a new decade beginning, various projections for the new year and years to come are underway.

In an already computerized society the toy industry followed the trend this past Christmas by promoting several electronic toys and gadgets. Child psychologists might argue that children no longer can enhance their creativity and imagination as was possible 20 years ago when most toys were simplistic.

Another subject in question for the '80's would be the stability of oil prices. Will there be an end to price increases? With inflation also soaring, the projected outlook for business is quite bleak.

Economists are predicting a recession.

The price of gold is continuing its steady increase with the price per ounce on January 2, topping January 1 by $37.50, bringing the total cost to $562.00 per ounce.

Across the miles we can only wonder how the hostages in Iran feel about their new year. In this frightening crisis situation, people must acknowledge that the seeds of World War III do exist. At much expense the Iranian crisis has brought about a tremendous increase in patriotic spirit among Americans.

Major events kicking off the new decade include the Olympics and the presidential elections.

In Congress considerations ofSALTII being taken seriously have all but stopped due to the invasion of Afghanastan by Russia. Congress did come to the rescue of the Chrysler corporation which is beneficial to thousands of employees who would have been laid off if Chrysler had gone bankrupt.

Yet maybe only one aspect of the '80)s in a sense has taken a turn backward, and that is in music. Unlike the '70's hardcore rock and roll, the'80's lends itself to anew dimension in sound which is entitled "new wave" rock. Heavy rock and roll has lost its predominance for the time being, but not its respect.

With mixed feelings of an increasing computerizied society and wonders about solutions to the problems at hand, we plunge into the '80's.

Editor recalls • expenences One more semester has gone by, and I am nearing the end of one of the more unique experiences of my journalistic endeavors - editing the The Telescope.

It has been a wonderful, if sometimes trying challenge, but what challenge isn't?

With a highly competent advisor, staff, graphic arts department, and all-around cooperation from other campus departments, I feel The Telescope has covered the news as accurately as possible. I would like to have seen more input in the form of letters to the editor, but if that's the only thing I can find to complain about, we must be at least one step ahead.

Palomar is a wonderful place to learn.

You couldn't ask for more friendly people or pleasant surroundings. Looking at the problems into which the world has entered the '80's, I feel fortunate to have a place like Palomar in which to learn.

I wish for everyone good 1uck in the new year. And, last but not least, I wish to the new editor and staff of The Telescope all the joys, learning, and lovely people I met and worked with during my reign as editor.

READERS' FORUM Parking sticker remedy needed Dear Editor: I recently had an upsetting experience occur. I came out to the car I drove to class that day and found a parking citation on my window. It stated that I had parked without a parking sticker in a posted "Permit Parking Only" parking lot. Well that is true. I happened to be driving one of my parent's cars that day. The reason being because my car was not running and was in the middle of being repaired.

At the beginning of the semester I had registered my car and paid the parking registration fee of $5.00. I wonder ... are the students supposed to foresee their car breaking down and therefore register every single car they might use as a substitute? Or maybe when your car is not running you shouldn't go to class.

Well later on, I went into the Cashier's Office to take care of it. I asked her what I should do and she very politely replied that I needed to first of all pay the par king

fine of $4.00. I asked, for future reference, what does one do when one's car is not running and I explained the situation to her. She suggested I register my parent's cars also. Well that is a little impractical in view of the fact that they have several cars. She then explained that you could obtain a temporary parking permit by the Campus Patrol in the Visitor's Parking Lot. I had not heard or read in any Palomar College literature where it stated anything about a temporary parking permit. I went home and searched the Palomar College Catalog and found absolutely nothing pertaining to this situation. Then I looked in the class schedule put out at the beginning of the semester. Sure enough - the number 9 listing under Parking Regulations lightly touched upon the subject. I feel that the rule wasn't very clear in its meaning. I feel some clarifying clause should be added such as," ..... if for any reason you are unable to drive your registered vehicle ..... a temporary parking permit ....... " I wrote this letter because I hope by reading this other students won't fall in to

the same trap I did and have to pay a senseless parking ticket. Afterall, it's not the money, ~t's the principle of the thing!

Sincerely, Melody Ferman

'Farce alarm' Dear Editor, On December 4, 1979 at approximately 1:30 p.m., thestudentsofPalomarCollege listened to their second fire alarm of the semester. However, all that they did was listen. Almost everyone, both students and teachers remained in class and ignored the fire alarm. This type of attitude shocked me. Although I have no solution to the problem, I have faith that maybe the Administration, who is paid a great deal of money to solve school problems, will find a solution if they put their heads together.

One thing that the fire alarm did accomplish was that it stopped all the clocks in the "B" buildings, so that we may be reminded of the time when we had the Palomar College "farce-alarm."

Sincerely, Charli Menticoh a concerned student

Information Office communicates well

By Derace Orput Surrounded by stacks of paper, ringing phones and other related paraphernalia, they manage to keep their heads amid a flurry of almost constant confusion.

"We do everything that gets out to the community in one way or the other with the exception of sports," explains Liz Callison, head of the public information office.

"Everything" includes releasing information about Palomar happenings to 15 newspapers, five television stations, 15 radio stations, 12 miscellaneous publications and nine locations on campus. A few places might be added to the list if needed.

to children or, surprisingly enough, high school students, but receives many requests from senior citizens.

She would like to start giving tours to new staff mem hers as "The staff comes in and starts doing his or her job and doesn't know what else we've got here."

Liz Callison has been here for six years, first starting out as an administrative assistant to the president in public relations. Here college beginnings have a familiar ring. Wishing to pursue a career in archeology, she says, "I went to college for two years, ran out of money and had to get a job so I could finish."

Posters are about the only thing the PR office doesn't do . "We try to avoid those," states Callison. "We don't have the space, basically, or the expertise."

Then she went on to Washington, D.C., to become an editorial assistant for a trade association, and did some political lobbying and worked in a few radio stations. Having married a military man, she and her husband were transferred to California ten years ago. She enjoys her job here, and about the only major problem she runs into is lack of time. "We could use another staff member or two sometimes," she states. However, they do have the help of a part-time typist and the use of students from the photojournalism classes for photography.

The speaker's bureau, also run by the PIO, is an informal service in which groups such as the Lions Club, Rotary Club, Women's Club and Daughters of the American Revolution request speakers for their meetings and events in a particular area of interest. Callison then contacts a staff member who is knowlegable in that area. Comments Callison, "It's getting our people out into the community."

In addition to all the other things the PIO does, they are also involved in the Outreach and Retention Committees.

In Outreach, "We're actively going out into the whole community telling people we're here, giving them a broad perspective on what we are." Last August, 117,000 brochures were sent out to homes throughout the district containing general information and a business reply card.

Another service offered by the PIO is group tours. These are conducted according to the group's area of interest. Callison has never given a tour

By sending in the card, prospective students could receive information about classes, financial aid and bus schedules. The direct mail campaign

was tied in with newspaper ads as well as several television and radio commercials. They have received a large feedback in the form of over 2000 cards and phone calls. The campaign has been helped by the fact that the PIO has a direct line into their office so that going through the switchboard is not necessary as with other offices on campus.

In the retention part of the committee, the PIO is involved in finding out if students are coming back to Palomar and if not, why.

"We're trying to get a feel for why students leave us , because we really want to find out how we can keep people here. If it is some dissatisfaction with programs and services we want to know that." They are interested in keeping students here and getting them to take more units.

The Interchange was begun by the PIO two years ago as a publication by and for the Palomar staff. It contains a note from the president, board highlights and letters.

The PIO has its fingers in several other pies, including the accreditation committee, Patrons of Palomar, catalog committee and the Governing Board. On top of this, Liz Callison teaches an advertising class. "That's fun," she says, "because I get to tie a lot of this stuff in here in this job into the class."

Palomar's public relations area is about 16 years old now and has come a long way. It is practicing the key to successful public relations, which is "being sensitive to the needs of the community at large, the publics; identifying their needs, filling them and then assessing the results. Really that is a basic PR campaign."

Controversy rages over Industrial Tech area

By James Colford Two months after the new Industrial Technology Building wa s accepted by Paloma r Trustees and nearly a year sin ce it wa s occupied , debate is still r a ging as to wheth er the structure, termed a "fi a sco" by one instructor, is actua lly completed.

Charges of incompeten ce, poor design , lack of communication betwee n instruc tor s a nd the architect, defici encies or excesses in equipment and fixtures, a nd the absence of any one person or group ac ceptin g r es ponsibility h a s resulted in nearl y ever yon e in volved having form ed a n opinion .

The $1. 4 milli on complex located at th e north-west end of campus houses the woodshop, metal trades,

auto-body, diesel mechanics, motorcycle and small engine repair departments . Th e departments were formerly spread out over several buildings both on and off campus.

The most voca l critic of the design a nd c onstru c tion has been woodshop instructor Nicholas J. Disparti , an instructor since 1965 and a form er Industrial Technology Depa rtm ent chairman.

"This has been a pass-the-buck situation from the beginning," said Disparti. " Last February we asked, 'Where's our heat?' We're still asking. In February some lights were out. They're still out." He added that the very design of the lighting in some areas of th e building makes it nearly impossible to read precision instruments.

IT'S THE PITS - Joe S chaeffer and Nick Disparti stand in the hole for the yet-to- be installed d y nanometer in the diesel shop.

(Ph oto by J . Colfo rd)

His list of complaints goes on and on: so und deadening that was deleted from the plans , windows too high to reach without using a stepladder, inadequate wiring making a $12,000 sander unusable and electrical fixtures that were obsolete when installed. And that, exclaims Disparti is just in the woodshop.

Instructors in other areas of the 26,000 sq. ft. bui lding voiced similar complaints. One mentioned the absence of sufficient air compressor hoses in auto-body and pointed out the obvious excess of electrical cords hanging from the ceiling.

Joe Schaeffer, an instructor in diesel mechanics, said he had made suggestions in writing, but "The users were never considered when the plans were finalized ." He listed various defects and omissions in his department, among them: an exhaust system switch in the ceiling 19 feet from the floor , a 10 x 15 hole 20 inches deep in the middle of his shop for a yet to be installed dynanometer, shelving not strong enough to support the transmissions they were supposed to hold , more clocks than necessary , an unusable fuel injection room and an excess of the wrong type of electrical extension cords.

His main concern though , is that the compressors for hydraulic lifts aren 't powerful enough to raise diesel tractors .

Schaeffer admitted that some things worked out fine and that the equipment they have is the best, but queried, " Why needlessly spend money in one area and then scrimp elsewhere?" He continued, " We were anxious to move in here , but we should never have occupied the building before it was completed. It hasn't been worth the hassle. " Assistant Superintendent in Charge of Business Dr. John Schettler maintains a somewhat different position on the industrial tech matter. During an interview last month he said, "There's nothing really wrong with the building." He mentioned that some minor repairs and adjustments had to be made adding , "It's not uncommon that a new building needs modifications."

He insists that each phase of the construction was according to specifications and that it was up to each instructor to communicate with the architect. Dr. Schettler said the contractor (M.H. Golden) finish ed the building according to plan although they did take an inordinate amount of time to correct mistakes. He blames the instructors and the architect - "Six of one or half a dozen of the other," - for any omissions or problems.

As far as the architect is concern-

phone interview. "They were cons ulted several times during planning," h e said, "and it's not true that changes weren't included in the final plans." According to Betraun, each instructor had a chance to make changes an d they now have everyt hing they asked for.

Betraun said that his firm has designed a number of schools and shops other than Palomar, "It was my understanding t h at this is more of a lab t h an a worksh op sit uation. I may have been misinterpreted." As far as the diesel mechanics compressors are concerned, he said, "They have yet to prove to me that the lifts don't work."

DR. JOHN SCHETTLER ed, "I would seriously have to consider recommending using him again," Schettler said, because of the problems that did occur. He continues to believe thaUhe instructors were irresponsible in not communicating with the architect. " I would see that communication is total and adequate in the future ."

Dr. Schettler runs into firm opposition from Disparti and Dean of Vocationa l Education Walter Brown. Disparti angrily replies, "We wen~ given one afternoon to make suggestions before plans were finalized . We made notations but the plans weren't changed.

"I don't think the architect knows what a shop is, and he didn't take time to investigate it. These boners wouldn't have occurred if he had known what was going on. He seems incompetent. The whole organization leaves something to be desired."

Dean Brown basically agrees with Disparti. "The architect was helpful before the plans were completed," he said, "but he didn't welcome any input except from Dr. Schettler during construction." Brown said that changes were made by the architect and contractor without consulting with industrial technology.

When told that Dr. Schettler blamed the instructors, Brown replied , "How could they be at fault when they were never given the responsibility (to change plans) in the first place?''

Charles Betraun of the architectural firm of Paderewski, Dean and Associates gave another version in a

Despite the controversy one thing bothers Joe Schaeffer. He's noticed a larger than normal student dropout rate in his department, and thinks it is because of some crucially needed equipment that can 't be used. He says that students are frustrated because they haven't been able to take advantage of the full curriculum.

At any rate nobody is admitting responsibility for what some instructors term a "fiasco," even though it has been alleged that there have been many mistakes in the design of the building. The fact remains that additional costs will be incurred by the district in correcting the mistakes.

What isn 't done by workmen from outside Palomar will have to be done by the under-staffed Maintenance Department. And that will take time. It may be a long siege for Disparti, Dr. Schettler, et al.

WILCOX HAS RARE SELECTION

Instructor collects ante bellum photos

By James Colford Imagine looking into a small mirror and seeing the miniature image of a person other than yourself.

Imagine seeing a flawless young lady with pink, rosy cheeks and clear light blue eyes, hands folded elegantly on her lap.

Imagine that you can tell what she is thinking just by the expression on her face .

It is not a dream . It's real. The girl lived at least 130 years ago, but her image is preserved by the photographic process on a daguerreotype in the collection of photography instructor Kean Wilcox.

Wilcox , a Palomar alumnus, is finishing up his first semester as a fulltime photography instructor. A darkly bearded man of 32, he keeps his collection i'n his house in Escondido. Inside, the classical music playing softly, hardwood floor and old oak furniture make an appropriate setting for the display of daguerreotypes he has set out on a cloth covered dining room table. His quiet blonde wife Ingrid, also a teacher, shares his interest in collecting but is not a photographer. A television set is conspicuous by its absence, suggesting perhaps that Wilcox has little time for anything besides his wife, and photography .

A twinkle can be detected in Wilcox's eyes behind his wireframed glasses as he talks about the people that look so alive in the small daguerreotype preservers.

No larger than 7 x 8, the various size images capture the amazement and wonder in the faces of these people who were so very curious about the miracle of having their image captured on silver plate.

Their undisguised faces staring intently into the camera lens are so real you would swear the people could talk to you. There is no need for that. The strong, proud workman or the pretty young woman in a Scottish tartan can tell much about themselves merely by looking back at you. It is easily understood why

Wilcox admires these fine images and his admiration is contagious.

The daguerreotype is in essence a highly polished silver plated copper sheet that was exposed to light in a camera. The latent image was developed and fixed forming a reversed mirror-image positive. The first exposures which took hours were gradually shortened to several minutes then a few seconds making portraiture practical.

The first portraits were of actors, politicians and other celebrities. As the number of practitioners increased the average American could have a portrait made.

The fragile images, easily rubbed off or scratched, are without grain and were usually tinted to appear lifelike. They were first displayed in cases of tooled leather and later an early form of plastic.

The delicate tonality and fine detail of the daguerreotype was popular for little more than a decade when the process was supplanted in popularity by the cheaper paper negative and later the glass negative processes. The Civil War era am brotypes Wilcox also collects are glass negatives that were usually placed face down on a black vel vet or paper backing to form an unreversed positive image.

Besides his permanent collection of favorites, Wilcox trades and sells many of his images . He always looks for the unusual.

One of his 'finds' is an exquisite portrait by early daguerreotypist and Civil War photographer Mathew Brady. He identified the Brady by the stamp in the velvet lining of the case. The fine clothing and bearingofthemanin this image suggests he may have been an actor or politician since many of Brady's subjects were important people.

Wilcox hopes to identify the man which would increase the value of the daguerreotype considerably.

Wilcox , who started collecting after acquiring several ambrotypes to show one of his classes and 'was hooked,' prefers to collect

FACES FROM THE PAST - A sample of Wilcox's daf(uerreotypes and ambrotypes reveal

daguerreotype portraits of individuals, families, people in occupational dress and ambrotypes of Civil War soldiers. He also looks for rarities like outdoor scenes and portraits of blacks from the 1840's to 1860 's.

Says Wilcox, "The infancy of photography reflected the common man . Daguerreotypes were cheap enough so everyone could afford a portrait." By having a portrait, "Americans especially could develop a self-image." They're mirror images. It's like the people are looking at you." He believes each one says a lot about the person, especially their pride in being Americans.

Wilcox, who lives and breathes photography, has done commercial and portrait work a nd finds it challenging to "turn an idea into an image."

As far as the future of collecting the rare one-of-a-kind daguerreotypes is concerned he says, "You can't go wrong. It's an investment in your own imagi nation . (The images) make people aware by looking to the past. The more you appreciate other photographer's work, the more you can improve your own vision."

(Continued from page 1) Development has campus children center funds (Senate Bill 229), administered by the Office of Child Development, State Department of Education. They also collect parent fees from some students. Federal funding pays for meals and paper goods, etc., and the balance comes from the college and is part of postProposition 13 grant money.

Concludes Abbott, "I think it is important for students to know that they must be enrolled in classes consistent with their goals and that their grade point average must be maintained if they wish to register their child for Child Development."

While all of this discussion was booming, the Child Development Center, the Faculty Senate, a nd the Administration were quietly holding their meetings. In the middle of December Ruth Clothier, Educational Director for the Child Development Center, enthused, "It is on the Master Plan: We had our top model selected for our new building. Now that the college has

set it as high priority, there will be a lot of people on campus working on it." Clothier suggested a possible solution: if someone in the community would build the structure for us.

"It could be named for them." This sort of generosity is also taxdeductible.

"It is just very important that we have the best possible environment for the children of Palomar students," continues Clothier, "but it is also important that students of Child Devel.opment have a good model. Most of our graduates from Child Development go to work immediately in the community. One of the ways we help is to train better teachers, and the other is to provide a model for the community. There is a bill now in the legislature (the Sieroty Bill) which includes monies for facilities. Most bills do not, so we are hoping it goes through."

Although Child Development still has no money, the fact that they are now high priority entitles them to search for funds.

'Angels of Mercy' patrol campus area Ticket writing is not only function

By Mike Rose What's red and grey, has 14 legs, lives in a green box, can cost a motorist four dollars, and can get into a car and start it even when the doors are locked?

To the close observer of Palomar activities, the answer to this riddle comes easily, "the Campus Patrol."

Known to some as "the fastest ticket writers in the West" but to others as "Angels of Mercy," the current campus patrol consists of seven criminal justice students who enforce the traffic regulations here.

Formed three years ago when it became apparent that traffic and parking violations were getting out of hand, the members of the patrol can be identified by their red and white hats, red shirts and jackets and grey trousers or skirts.

Robert A. Jackson, Public Services Coordinator, discusses the formation of the patrol: "When I first came here, a student body representative came to me and wanted to know what the students could do about getting control, because some students were paying their parking fees, but many others were not.

He literally was the one who went to board meetings and put it through, and the Campus Patrol which could write parking citations was formed. We tried it with a parttime coordinator, but it obviously wasn't working out, so we gotJ ohn."

"John" is John M. Kratt, a criminal justice teacher and coordinator of the patrol whose headquarters is in a green shack at the west end of the football field . A veteran of 12 years of police work in the Los Angeles area, Kratt came to Palomar three years ago, not so coincidentally with the formation of the patrol. His conversation is reminiscent of "Dragnet's" Joe Friday with frequent references to sections of the Vehicle and Penal Codes.

"We're charged with the enforcement of parking regulations established by the Board ofTrustees of this community college as authorized by Section 21112(A) of the Vehicle Code."

Patrol members "have county peace officer powers for what they do." What they do is follow a "citation process that is admissible in the judicial district in which the school is located." In the case of a Palomar violation, this judicial district is the Municipal Court located in Vista.

So what happens when the motorist who has parked illegally returns and finds a citation slipped under his or her windshield wiper?

"The person receiving the citation can plead not guilty to it through an arraignment process." The college cashier gives the arraignment. The alleged violator then "has a hearing in court, the citation-writer is subpoenaed into court, the judge listens to both sides of the story and makes a confirmation of judgement on the case."

On the other hand, the motorist who takes the attitude of"Well, you caught me," normally "goes to the cashier, posts a four-dollar bail, forfeits it, and the case is closed."

However, if there is no response to the citation, the patrol waits 10 school days and then sends out two successive "courtesy letters" reminding the violator of his or her delinquency. If there is still no response, "We make out what is known as 'an infraction complaint' which is a series offour papers given out by the court. If there is still no response, it can go all the way to a bench warrant with the offender picked up, booked and released."

So what usually starts as an attempt to "beat the system" can escalate to a fairly serious and certainly costly offense.

Surprisingly, the bail for the repeat offender is still four dollars, whether it is the second or tenth offense. Kratt says, "We have some kids who have gotten as many as 10 to 15 tickets." However, if the offender becomes delinquent, "the bail graduates from four to eight to ten dollars which is the highest it can go for a parking violation. It can go higher only ifthere is a con tempt of court involved in it.

"That results if the offender asks for a hearing and then doesn't show up, and a warrant is issued. Then a fine of as high as $80 can be levied.

We haven't had any go to warrant in the past year and a half. But, about two years ago I think we had about 50 or 55 go to warrant."

For the most part, "Citations for moving violations are the function of the Sheriffs Department under contract to San Marcos, although the patrol does write recommendations for college disciplinary ac¡ tion if a violation is observed or reported and the car and driver can be positively identified."

Traffic accident investigation is also the function of the Sheriffs Department " ... which will investigate if the damage to one vehicle is over $200, or if property damage, death, or injury occurs."

But for the routine fender-bender, "The patrol is available to provide advice to the persons involved. A report of all accidents occuring on campus should be filed with the patrol."

What about that "Angel of Mercy" role of the patrol? "About 45 to 50 motorists" a month who lock their keys in their cars or find a dead battery turn to the patrol for assistance. "The guys are pretty good at opening locked cars. I wouldn 't say 'attempt.' I think they're quite successful. We also provide battery jump starts."

From 7 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, the patrol's services are available to the stranded motorist who calls extension 508 or 509. "There is someone here all the time. We finally have a full-time person. It's something we've needed for a long time."

But Kratt believes that the days of the Campus Patrol are numbered.

Jackson agrees vigorously when Kratt says, "A full-time uniformed campus police force will replace the present patrol and contract security force. Jackson says, "We're the only community college that I know of that doesn't have a force."

OUR MISS LILLIAN SETS PACE

four generations study here

By Nancy Leman They call her Baby Lillian and she's a long way from her home in Houston Texas.

Lillian Monroe is a 61-year old grandmother attending Palomar with her daughter , Jenine; grandchildren, Bambai and Tod; and greatgrandson, David, making four generations attending at one time.

They are your" average" familyexcept that daughter Jenine is twice widowed with four children at home, has worked with a brain-damaged son for eighteen years, teaches Sunday School and sings in the choir, and she is in a wheelchair;except that Lillian's grandson, Tod, has been attending Palomar since he was fifteen and is an "unstable diabetic" ; - except that they have humor, guts and spirit and go "family plan" in all that they do .

When asked how she would describe herself, Lillian proclaimed, "short and fat." "Sounds like 'Wi.nnie the Poo' ," crowed Jenine. " Up, down, touch the ground," chimed in Bambai.

Lillian has clear, wide, hazel eyes with waterfalls of laugh lines cascading over her tanned cheeks, a ready laugh, and a determined chin.

She's sturdy, sea-worthy and a long way from your typical Southern Belle. In fact, she used to be a professional housekeeper.

Lillian fixed me with a wide-eyed, level gaze and purred, "I don't stop," and Jenine groaned, "Oh, I'll testify to that." Lillian looked satisfied and declared she wears them all out.

Nevertheless, she came back to school because she was "tired."

She's swapped her vacuum for two years of college life, a certificate in tourism and a new career. " It's like a little kid going into second grade. I hadn't been in 10chool since 1936, and after being away for 43 years, I was scared at first. I'm active. I got an A in my swimming class." She learned to keep her face underwater and do the crawl. It was decided that was a necessity, especially if you fall off your yacht.

J enine declared she keeps her yacht in her apartment.

Lillian hails from a large Southern family with five generations and 200 descendents still living. " Unfortunately, old age does that," quips daughter, Jenine.

Jenine is a quipper and a laugher.

Her face, pale and heart shaped, is dominated by eyes that seem Indiany and so dark as to be black.

Bambai, willowy and freshly turned 21 , stands close by her mother's wheelchair. Nothing seems to stop J enine, not degenerative arthritis of the spine, not even mountains. For an Indian herb class she whips up Palomar Mountain in her wheelchair to bring back herbs.

Jenine and Bambai are taking Child Development and will teach handicapped children. While attending Palomar, Jenine and son, Tod, are registered with Handicapped Services. "It isn't just for physically handicapped," offers Bam bai. "A lot of people don't know they can use it, like epileptics, diabetics, etc. They even have a swimming class for

handicapped students and all kinds of equipment to check out - tape recorders, page turners. You can get someone to push a wheelchair."

Jenine has been out of school since 1958. "I had married, babied and buried a husband by the time I was 18. I live fast. I married two, I buried two and I got the message. No serious involvements. I simply don't have the time and don't know anyone who could survive dating someone who runs a nut house, which is what it boils down to with four kids at home and three dogs.

"My leisure time is between 11 p.m. and 5:30a.m. when the alarm goes off. And you sandwich in choir practice and then Sunday School teaching, you've got to do your lessons for that .. . Men are like plants- they n eed attention. " And she is a very busy lady right nowtoo busy to look after another plant.

Lillian backs J enine as she teaches Sunday School, and Bambai was Jenine's aide when her mother took swimming. This semester Lillian works with the handicapped in the pool and has also taken up golf.

FAMILY PLAN - Four generations of the Monroe family attend Palomar. They are: L to R top row, Tad and Bambai. Bottom row, Jenine (holding Baby David) and Lillian.

Their philosophy is an openhearted one. They're very active in their church. They're warm . At one time they lived in an eccentric house called the " Bug's Ear."

even an em ergency fos ter mother. " We h ad a nin e bedroom house and had to fill it up someh ow."

Built in 1929 by a famous producer, this Fallbrook hideaway was inhabited by famous stars detoxing from too much alcohol.

During the five years they lived there they took in foster children, exchange students, delinquents and a teacher from England. J enine was

J enine claims, " I never talk offthe record ." Lillian says, "We're open.

This is us. " J enine decided sh e h a d nothing more to say. "This should give everybody the idea we're a bunch of nuts. One thing we've found is always take one class that doesn't have anything to do with

your particular specialty, for the fun of it. " If some day you spot a coffee and crea m va n, go and say hello and you're in for a treat - some downhome h ospitality and a n original wackiness that draws you in and ma kes you feel loved.

That's Baby Lillian and her brood, living life the best they know how and helping others along the wa y.

Chittock raises students' self-esteem level

By Nancy Leman Laughter, stomps, hoots, and occasional applause waffle out ofF9. Inside sit a circle of people, none of them bored, presided over by a slight, bearded, silver-haired wizzard. Welcome to Dave Chittock's Self- Esteem Class.

Chittock, Associate Professor of Counseling; Licensed Marriage, Family, and Child Counselor; and Founder/ Director of the World Esteem Foundation has done his homework.

Brash and shy, with a flip side of warm and sensitive, cooling to fey and diffident, and intermixed with kind, he admits to having suffered lots of self doubts and low selfesteem himself. While waging battle on his own problems, he gathered a large store of knowledge and techniques which he delights in sharing with anyone who would like to feel better about himself and improve his life.

After taking his B.A. in Psy-

chology at BYU and teaching elementary school, Chittock served as a Probation Officer. He has also taught junior high and spent two years in Samoa where he set up a comprehensive system of education.

While in the islands, he instituted a

"Doing affirmations taught in the class brought out feelings of high self-worth." counseling program before returning to work in San Diego State's Veteran's Counseling Center. He has been at Palomar ten years.

Nancy Swenson took the Fall of 1978 Self-Esteem Class and is currently enrolled in Chittock's Relationships Class. She feels that, "Doing affirmations taught in the class brought out feelings of high self-worth. Even when things aren't

going well , there are still those basic things r got in touch with and the bottom doesn't fall out because those things are there."

Chittock asserts, "Our potential is never tapped when we have low selfesteem. It's like wearing dirty glasses." He goes on to say that our image of ourselves is very distorted and if we don't see the true self with all its potential, we will never actualize it. "Talk about developing our resources - the resource that is the most critical is human resource!

We have to invest so much of our creative human resource in handling the results of low self-esteem," steams Chittock. "Look at how much of our attention and money are expended handling crime, disease,juvenile delinquency, family disorders, and don't forget war which is low self-esteem on an international level - people fearful of one another."

The first Self-Esteem Seminar was born when he realized :hat you can get people functioning by working through their symptoms, but that doesn't really enable them to live fully. Seminar participants looked at barriers to self-esteem and how lack of self-acceptance contributed to their unhappiness, and reported it was one of the most helpful things they had ever done.

"The class helped me immensely - my outlook on everything. It changed my life."

SHARING WISDOMS - Counselor Dave Chittock advises two students on discovering and fulfilling their potentials.

The classes are most unique.

Having gone through the maiden class, I can tell you the class becomes like a family for each of us.

We look at difficulties with the support and encouragement of class members. We share some fears and it's a revelation to find people like you even when you're not at your best. That class was instrumental in changing my life, and if you think I'm editorializing a bit in this story, you're right. Aside from being a

reporter, I am also a student who took the Self- Esteem Class, and I highly recommend it.

Chittock has held seminars in Utah, Santa Fe, New Mexico and Japan , and has begun taping them since people have requested a book and tapes. The end of this month, he departs for Australia and New Zealand where he will conduct Relationships and Self-Esteem Seminars. His associate, Judy Eberhart, assists with the seminars and also does one on assertiveness.

" ... something that will be useful to me on an every-day basis for the rest of my life."

Patty Marquez claims, "The class helped me immensely -my outlook on everything. It changed my life."

And Diane Bowker says, "It's one of the most important classes at Palomar ... to accomplish any kind of educational goal , you have got to feel good about and be able to motivate yourself."

"I'm putting emphasis on having people take more responsibility for their lives," offers Chittock. "It's hard to have self-esteem when one feels a victim of life and other people." His eyes narrow as he follows a thought. "You can't feel 'in charge' if you don't feel increased levels of control over what you are doing."

Time is spent having people look at the influence of long-held attitudes and beliefs about themselves and others. He feels that it's only when we clearly see our personal laws that we can determine whether they contribute to increased selfconfidence and self-love. He contends that many are packing around some very negative attitudes about themselves which are self-fulfilling prophecies that pay off in negative lives.

According to Michelle Scott, "The class helped me in every aspect of my life. I'm in the Nursing

Program and have less than onehalf the stress of last semester because of techniques learned in Dave's class for dealing with stress. " And Lequita Bustamante smiles, "The Self-Esteem Class is something that will be useful to me on a n every-day basis for the rest of my life."

Dave emphasizes the importance of being willing to see what is praiseworthy in others a nd telling them a bout it. He claims it has the potential to literally transform lives, that when enthusiasm and confidence are ignited, it's healing. And this is where the chortles and applause come in. The class has what is called "acknowledgements" at which time one person is told by every member of the class what they like best about him, and the one being praised must accept it and simply say, "thank you."

Chittock points out that some very practical skills are taught, ''like how to use the power of your mind to produce results you want in life.

Mfirmations are a powerful tool for this. Our mind is there to serve us and if we don 't take conscious control, by programming it with positive thoughts, the subconscious absorbs negativity. An affirmative e ttitude really is necessary.

"We try to keep it practical. We have students who use affirmations to prepare for exams and they say it's amazing what happens when you approach a test with a confident, positive attitude."

". . . one of the most important classes at Palomar . .. " He hesitates, then offers softly, "As you start feeling positive about yourself and acknowledging your ability, things open up for you."

Then brightening - picking up speed, " I tell people to go out and do something with the public- selling is great. Anything where you have to put youself on the line is good for your self-esteem."

Roger Nijinski, who broke the school record for saves by a goalie with 360, was voted the Comets' MVP. He also made the AllConference team and received honors as the Mission Conference Player of the Year.

Pete Kissinger was selected as the most inspirational player, Kevin Bodwell as the outstanding offensive player, John Thomson as the outstanding defensive player and Tom Whitworth as the most improved.

These honors capped a season which saw Palomar win their fourth consecutive water polo championship.

Sports editor recaps highlights of year

By Kurt Loe For two years now I have been covering various sports as the sports editor of the Telescope. During this time I have definitely experienced the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.

However, this being our last issue for the semester and my last as sports editor, I thought I would review the highlights of 1979.

Going back to last spring, who can forget the glowing performance of the women's basketball team running away to a conference title, thanks to the front line play of Sara Jane and Cindy Hollins. That was only the beginning.

Swimming, always one of Palomar's strongest sports, provided everyone with excitement. Coach Don Hubbard's men's team battled a powerful Saddle back squad for first place before settling for second.

Sparking their performance was the all-around swimming of Paul Farley who smashed several school records.

Rapidly becoming a perennial conference powerhouse, the women's team rode a roller coaster that was filled with dedications to the top of the league.

Sparked by lisa Pistilli and Patti Robinson, they rolled through their schedule, heading for their showdown with Saddleback. Not letting down for a minute, Palomar raced to victory, but shortly after, agony would strike the Comets.

Robinson, a fine swimmer, would soon undergo surgery that put her out of competitive swimming.

Refusing to quit, the locals rallied to win the Mission Conference championship, dedicating the win to Robinson.

Softball fans watched Palomar put together a strong season powered by the conference player of the year in pitcher Mya Sanders.

This fall four of the seven Palomar sports teams won titles. Those were in field hockey, volleyball, women's cross country and water polo, while the soccer team lost the title in a playoff game.

Both the volleyball and field hockey squads advanced to the state playoffs along with cross country.

Five players were named MVP's - Kim Jensen, field hockey; Sue Machamer, volleyball; Soledad Reyna, women's cross country; Roger Nijinski, water polo; and Jimmy Clark, football.

Coach John Wood's wrestlers are

heading toward another shot at the state wrestling championship, after finishing second in the state tournament a year ago.

Coach Mario Mendez's footballers experienced a frustrating season, compiling a 3-6 record. However, fans were thrilled by one of the nation's top passing attacks led by quarterback Steve Krainock and wide receiver Jimmy Clark.

That wraps up the 1979 sports season and my reign as sports editor. I can't depart without expressing my appreciation to a few people.

This paper couldn't be produced without an advisor and I would like to thank our leader Fred Wilhelm for all the help he has given me and the staff this semester.

Special thanks to the entire staff led by our editor Derace Orput for all their effort in helping to put out a fine paper.

Also deserving special thanks are advisor Neil Bruington, Letty Brewster, and Gary Cohen in Graphic Arts, along with photography advisor Justus Ahrend and Pam Ames.

I would like to express my appreciation to Palomar's new sports information director Kevin Cloherty for all his help which made my job a lot easier.

Good luck to all the Palomar athletes, coaches, plus athletic directors Andy Gilmour and Patti Waterman who have done a great job.

Hockey squad honors players Five women were presented with awards at the team banquet last month. Sue Alvarez won as high scorer, while Barbie Chamberlain was named captain. Ronnie Bailey was named most inspirational, Sue Dodd took the coach's award, and Kim Jensen was selected as the most valuable player.

Jensen already had been named to the All-South Coast team as well as being named the conference's MVP. Palomar finished 14-5 on the season, while placing fourth in the state tournament.

our Buses Go to College The North County Transit District has done its homework and is making sure that its buses are well schooled in filling the transportation needs of Palomar's students. And it doesn't take a math major to figure out that NCTD's $8 Studentpass for full time college students can save you a bundle.

So take a ride on our mobile study hall.
