Women focus on literature this summer

Palomar now has two Guidance Information Systems.

One GIS has been located in the Career Center adjacent to the Counseling Center since February.

But recently a portable GIS was purchased for use in outreach efforts, at satellite centers and in classroms.

When not being used for these functions, it is available for use at

Authors to be studied include Joyce Carol Oates, Carson McCullers, Mary McCarthy, Anais Nin , Doris Lessing, Margaret Atwood, Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, Denise Levetov and Zelda Fitzgerald.

$500 leadership awards available

Ann Mairoff, instructor, has had the advantage of personal consultation with the textbook author and did research of the topics during her sabbatical study in Cambridge, England.

from National U Three scholarships of $500 each are now available from National University.

Ms. Ma1roffsays that men are also most welcome in the class, not only to learn more about women , but how the women pictured in the literature and the women who wrote it regarded the men in their lives and imaginations .

The class is English 3 7, and meets daily from 10 a .m . to 12 noon, June 23 to J uly 29 . with three units credit available.

Co ll e ge president tours facility Community Access Network (CAN) volunteer Joe Tuck's tour of the Palomar College Theatre with President Omar Scheidt last Wednesday proved a fruitful effort.

After a long battle with San Marcos city officials to make improvements on handicap facilities, and several letters, including one

with Dr. Scheidt, he pointed out these thi,ngs. "He (Dr. Scheidt) didn't rush; he went through the entire facility with the others present, and was very cooperative and understanding," Tuck says. "He said he would discuss the matter with Dr. Schettler. I am sure some corrective measures will be taken."

published in the Telescope, he is finally getting some action.

Tuck stated in his letter in the Telescope that many aspects of the Theatre were lacking, such as drinking fountains, ramps, main entrance doors, exits, and steep aisles.

The GIS is being used in 3200 locations in the United States today.

It stores millions of pieces of information on occupations, colleges, financial aids, graduate and professional schools . The system speeds up the searching, the checking, the reading and the comparing.

GIS has detailed information on over 850 occupations. It can be used by students as a career exploration tool; or to find out which occupations are related to the majors offered at Palomar; or to search for occupations related to individual interests, aptitudes and lifestyles.

The system can list and describe colleges for students who are going to transfer. It can tell which have services for the handicapped, are approved for veterans and other necessary information.

Students interested in using the GIS should go to the Counseling Center in the Administration Building or the Advising Center in the Student Union.

New summer course offered "Understanding the School-Age Child and Adolescent" is the title of a new course being offered this summer by the Child Development Center.

Hulda M. Goodson-Flores will be teaching this class Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 12 noon.

Registration for the class will be held June 17 through 23 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The class is listed as CHDBV0373J WKSP- School-Age Child / Teen in the Summer School catalogue.

The three unit class will explore the growth and development of children ages nine through 18, in all areas of the child's life, including their relationships with parents and peers , interactions with school and other community institutions, as well as their feelings about themselves. This is a class for parents and teacher aides as well as the helping professions.

Continuing Ed aids community

By Margaret Salah It contains a no unit value. It is not applied to seeking a unit requirement, for certificate or degree. It is beyond fulfilling a traditional, educational goal. And yet, about 2700 out of the 15,000 students attending Palomar are enrolled in this program.

The above is part of a program called Continuing Education classes and it is under the direction of Angelo Carli, assistant dean of *** Continuing Education and ComThere will be an outdoor concert in munity Service. the Student Union Patio today at 11:30 a.m.

"We provide as much as our budget will allow us. The Community Service entails such services as speakers' program and community information on current topics in the form of presentations," said Carli.

"Many of our courses invite seniors to participate. That is what we are aiming for. It is supported by students' attendance."

To be enrolled in the Continuing Education classes, you need not be enrolled in a credit program. All the school requires is that "You are interested in the course you wish to attend. It is a segment of the institution. We are not here only for the community members who want to seek a degree."

Carli adds that this program must not be confused with the Continuing Education for Professionals, who have credentials and experience in their fields and who seek new techniques and literature.

"Sometimes the continuing Education classes are cross-listed with credit classes, thereby allowing non-credit oriented students to parti cipate in the more traditional curriculum on campus.

"For example, if a person is

interested in art, the student might not want to have the responsibility of doing homework or taking exams.

Their main interest is to learn and acquire knowledge about that subject for their personal growth.

"A person who enrolls in this program will not receive a grade," said Carli. "It is more or less for self interest. Each student has an idea of his or her progress. A student can enroll in non-credit classes as much as he or she wishes. They simply enroll by the same process of registration that each student goes through ."

Many of the classes are off campus, because Palomar does not have the facilities, plus, it brings the community closer together.

Besides working with bringing the members of the community closer together, Carli finds time to drive his MGTD , Austin Healey and Studebaker GT Hawk around Carlsbad, where he resides with his wife and two children, ages 17 and 15.

Editorials .. ~~

Editor ends year-long tenn Well folks, I never thought I'd be writing two farewell editorials in one year, but I guess there's a first time for everything. It's been a long but enjoyable year working on the Telescope, and I wish future editors the same sense of satisfaction I have experienced.

I have tried to keep myself as inconspicuous as possible in the editoria l department to make room for all those letters and editorials which never quite seemed to pour in. That's all right, though, because the ones that did come in had important points to make and made them well.

:~

\;

I'm glad the year is almost over, but I already miss Palomar, the Telescope, and especially working with my very small but very competent staff. I probably said this last semester, but I would once again like to extend my sincerest thanks and gratitude to my advisor, Fred Wilhelm, and the Graph ic Arts Department for their unending patience and talent.

I hope Palomar continues to grow as much as it has in the two years I have been here.

I'm sure the people will stay just as nice as they are, and the campus just as enjoyable a place to learn and develop.

Student protests recent theft Editor: Thursday, May 22, was the afternoon in my life I will remember. That was the afternoon my wallet with close to $300 cash and my friend's purse with $12 cash were stolen in broad da ylight while we were six feet away.

Many of you saw the reward ads I put up on campus Thursday night.

Friday afternoon the items were returned with the cash gone, of course. The thief threw them in the back of a truck. The owner was kind enough to turn them in, and

I thank him for his consideration.

What bothers me most I suppose is the attitude of the NO-LIFE who pulled off this robbery. Your heart has got to be made of cement and your brain full of sawdust. No offense Raggedy Ann. I have no doubts, you'll remember -:ny words when in your life, your bad deeds will lay you out flat.

To the world beware - they're out t here and if nothing else stands to be gained from this incident, AT LEAST PLEASE DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU. Lorna Susan Maxwell

Props9,10,llexanrlned

By Rick Bell Unless you've hidd en yourse lf in a cave in outer Mongolia, catchy phrases like "100 million dollar scam," "rent de-control," "Jaws II" and the ever-presen t "bumblers" have probably been bombarding you over the airwaves like London during the blitzkrieg .

Thanks to the media , we've got everybody from the reputable (?)Jack Lemmon to that oppressor of the poor, Howard Jarvis, telling us how to vote June 3. But behind all the hype, undern eath this three- ring circus atmosphere li es stakes too hi gh to risk gambling away your vote just because some honcho on TV tells you to vote that way.

First, read a copy of the California Ballot Pamphlet and re<'!d it carefully.

Second, read this article . We 'll help you sort through the muck and mire in that pamphlet and try our best to explain the propositions in plain English.

Let 's start with Proposition 9. "Jarvis II" is, plain and si mple , a large tax cut. The reduction of state in come tax revenues is estimated at $4 billion in fiscal1980-81, $4.2 billion in 1981-82 and by unknown but increasing amounts thereafter. Proceeds from the income tax are deposited in the state's General Fund. This fund supports state departments and institutions such as university and sta te colleges and helps loca l governments finance programs in areas like education, health , and wei fare, and property tax relief . This is where we, the people a t Palomar come in.

"If we should ha ve to turn to a tuitionbased enrollment, it is projected that the lo ss of students would range from 4-15 percent," explained Palomar President Omar Scheidt .

"Who will benefit? That five percent of the population with income of $50,000 or greater will reap one-third of the total saving."

As of now , recent surveys have s hown that voter sentiment ha s turned antiProposition 9. That doesn't stop the colorful tax-crusa der Howard Jarvis from expounding his philosophies on "Jaws II." Earlier this month, Jarvis told a gathering in San Jose that with 63 percent of California high school stude nts being "i lliterate, " the state is creating "permanent welfare recipients.

"And the co lleges are eve n worse," he added.

While Proposition 9 opponents claim its passage will hurt education in California, Jarvis said the quality of education "couldn't

get any worse than it is now . And the more money we put in, the worse it gets."

Also in favor of Proposition 9 is Arthur B. Laffer, a business professor at USC. Laffer concludes that after the passage of Proposition 13, employment is up, unemployment is down, spending on students increased and that the California "economy has started to recuperate."

If there was concrete evidence that Proposition 9 would not harm the state surplus over the next five years, it would probably pass with ease. But it is the uncertainty, the not knowing what the impact would be on the state in total that has voters on edge about Proposition 9.

Proposition 9 This proposition is the so-~lled Jarvis II initiative Constitutional Amendment, relating to taxation.

Specifically, it provides for the folhwing: 1. Requires that taxes "on or measured by income" imposed under the State Incotpe Tax law are not to exceed 50 percent of t he rates in effect in the 1978 taxable year.

2. Requires the Legislature to provide indexing of the tax brackets to reflect annua l changes in the California Consumer Price Index.

3. Totally exempts business inventories from property taxation . The provisions of the initiative are severable if any provision is found invalid.

Arguments in Support: 1. Provides for efficiency and cost control in government. It would force the reform of public employees' retirement systems, control of health care costs, and streamlining of government, among others.

2. Economic stimulation. It would stimulate the economy and generate additional tax revenues to replace a portio n of the state revenue loss. Proponents state tha t tax reductions will cut inflation and wou ld create increased economic activity in the state, including new jobs.

3. Runaway income taxes. T he state income tax has grown by 160 percent between 1973-7 4 and 1978-79 while all other state taxes have grown by 88 perce n t.

Proposition 9 will stop this income tax growth .

Opposition Arguments: 1. The revenue loss will be more than the state and local levels can absorb and still

provi de a level of service acceptable to the publi c.

2. Sta te and local governments have not yet ad just ed to Proposition 13 and Proposition 4. T h e full im pact of those measures has not bee n rea li zed as of yet . This mea sure and other tax initiatives (i.e . Proposition 11) t h reate n to clutter the constitution and statutes w it h con fli cting ta x mandates.

3. Th e proposition does not preclude the state from ra ising other taxes such as the sales and gas taxes. Proposi tion 9 also could mean hig her st at e and local fees . It could lead to the stude nt tuition payments at the state and com mun ity colleges.

4 . It cou ld fu r ther des troy the concept of federalism. Under Proposition 13, the sta te bai led o u t loca l gove rnments, thus h ampering local contr ol; Proposition 9 could force the federa l governmen t to come in and bail out the sta t e .

Proposition 10 PROVISIONS : 1. Restrict s impos ition of re nt con trol to

loca l gove rnm e nts and can only be enacted by a vo te of the people; 2. Li mit s d ura tion of rent control measure to 4 years may only be renewed thro ugh a noth er vote of the people; :>.Permits re nt in creases up to the average increas"t? in the C. P.l. (Co nsumer Price Index) for the previous 12 mo nths , plus an amount to pay for improvements; 4. Exe mpt s from any kind of local rent co n trol: a . Single fa mily homes b. New rental unit s (fir st occ upied after june 3rd) c. Publicl y assisted multi- unit projects where re nts are contro lled as a condition of govern men t aid; 5. Req uires th e establishment of appoi nted co mmi ss ions to re solve rent increase g ri evan ces; 6. Ma intains present rent control laws only until th e ne xt election in each comm unity; 7. Defines re nt co ntrol as any state or local governme nt ac tion which a ttempts to or does freeze, redu ce, re st r ict, limit, rebate or ot he rw ise control the amount of re nt dema nded or received.

Propo nent s claim for passa ge of Propositio n 10 : Passage of initia tive would eliminate investors u nce rtainty. The y contend that cons t r uction ha s stopped because lenders a nd in ves to rs a re afraid that fu ture local

ordinances might turn their projects into financial ruin.

Proposition 10 protects the property owners by entitling the property owners to a fair return on their investment.

Proposition 10 puts rent control in the hands of the people and out of the hands of the politicians.

Opponents claim against passage of Proposition 10: The slowdown of construction started before rent control became popular. The real reason for investor uncertainty is the high cos t of land and money. They claim that builders prefer to erect condominiums and single family detached homes now because they are more profitable than rental units.

This initiative will require expensive and unnecessary local elections .

Proposition 11 Proposition 11, if passed by the electorate, would levy a 10 % energy tax on the income of energy businesses in California with the exception of public utilities . Corporations with annual income of less than $10 million would receive some exclusion from the tax, and tax credits of 50 % would be allowed for every dollar spent to increase oil on gas production in California above 1978 levels .

COMMENTS: California corporations already pay a 9.6% annual corporate tax . For energy firms subject to the provisions of Proposition 11, the 10 % energy surtax would increase their corporate taxes to 19.6%. Those in favor of Proposition 11 claim oil companies have enjoyed huge profits in recent years at the expense of Californians. They contend that Proposition 11 will allow oil companies to attain reasonable profits and at the same time make a dramatic contribution to easing our energy problem by creating new funds for mass transit. Those in favor also claim that oil companies will have an increased incentive to develop oil and gas inside California because of the 50% tax credit provision . Supporters of Proposition 11 also conte nd that it will create 1,650-5,500 new jobs each year in the area of mass transit.

Those opposed to Proposition 11 contend that it would decrease the funds available to energy producers for exploration and development of new domestic sources at a time when we are struggling to reduce our energy dependence on foreign nations. They claim Proposition 11 would put the state into the energy business and discourage private indus try development inside California.

Flashbacks reveal reality of TV war

By James Colford Saigon. Gunfire. Napalm. Rice paddies. Cries of agony. Death. For more than eight years I witnessed the vva!" in Vietnam. Although I was never in Vietnam, I observed the war just the same. I did what countless millions of Americans did nearly every night. I watched the war on television.

Each night I sat before a glowing screen, mesmerized by the evening news in living color as men died in black and white. Each night presented another episode of an extremely long drama. Consecutive evening newscasts bombarded the senses with film and sound until the reality seemed like fiction. Despite the endless repetition of details, despite the quantity of violence the newsmen described, the war, until now, seemed unreal, meaningless, just another program. When the news ended, I could change the channel.

L.B.J. B-52's. Hanoi. Cronkite.

Body bags . Calley. The war was a magnet at six o'clock; I was drawn to the evening news with Walter Cronkite. Along with the news of riots, demonstrations, elections, and assassinations, the grandfatherly chronicler's relation of the Vietnam War remained spellbinding. It was fascinating, yet routine.

I watched as Cronkite related the storm of war: the bombing of Hanoi, the terror of Khe Sanh, the offensive of Tet, the revelation of My Lai. I observed intently through Cronkite's summation . But I was blind. The point was illusive. This was television. I changed the channel.

Nixon. Attack helicopters. Cambodia. Khmer Rouge. Casualty lists.

Protest. The war machine rum bled harder, faster ; then I heard the protest. I listened to Nixon say that we were invading Cambodia. I heard the helicopters attack, the

rockets explode, the soldiers scramble, the people die. The war widened and the dead multiplied. The war news related events that were distant and foreign to me. I was not personally involved. None of my friends or relatives werll dying in Vietnam ; it was not my fight.

Gradually the direction of the newscasts shifted. More time was spent relating the demonstrations at home. The protest movement gained momentum. I listened to Cronkite's conclusion, "And that's the way it is . . ."But I was deaf. This was only television. I changed the channel.

Kissinger. Peace talks. Retreat.

Evacuation. Prisoners of war.

Homecoming. Finally, the war changed. Month by month the lists of dead shortened. The killing and destruction lessened. I noticed Henry Kissinger on the screen more often. The newscasts focused on peace proposals , compromise , prisoner returns , retreat, and

evacuation. At last, the drama ended. 58,869 Americans died in Vietnam. He said, "And that's the way it is . . ." I didn't feel the hurt.

This was just television. I changed the channel.

Today. Books. Films. Graves.

Enlightenment. Guilt. Now it is too late for me to do anything about the war, but I often think about it, and invariably, I feel guilty and somewhat personally responsible for its results. Today I am often reminded of the war.

For example, a book I read last year, "Friendly Fire," a true account of a young man's death in Vietnam and his family's resulting grief, reminded me. The story awakened in me the realization that the names on the war's casualty lists were once very real and ordinary people who were sacrificed for an obscure and unattainable ideal.

Another reminder ofthe war was a movie I saw. Apocalypse Now re-

vealed to me the horror of the Vietnam War more than did the actual films on the evening newscasts. In fact, it is disturbingly ironic that a fictional account could affect me so profoundly.

However, the most visible reminder of the war is a list of names that I notice several times a week.

The campus memorial to Vietnam War dead is a constant reminder that I must share responsibility for Vietnam. Many times I've stood before the monument trying to visualize the faces of the slain young men whose names are carved in the cold granite.

When their imagined faces have materialized in my mind, I've felt a tightness in my stomach. I've often asked myself several questions.

What closed my eyes? Why was I deaf? How could I be so unfeeling? I thought that it was only ... television.

Artists discuss complexities of cartooning

By Bob Lee How do two illustrators regard cartooning? Milt Brewster, a former writer-editor and now a Palomar commercial art student, confesses to being a cartoonist.

Palomar art instructor Everett Peck, on the other hand, considers himself a humorous illustrator.

According to him, the difference is that the cartoonist makes a personal observation on life, while the humorous illustrator works m response to a story or theme.

"In the first place, it's difficult to define cartooning," Brewster says, explaining his own reluctance to be pigeonholed. "There's political cartooning, and what appears in ads, underground comics , Playboy, Marvel comics . . ."

"There's Saul Steinberg, some of whose work is akin to Paul Klee's," Peck comments. "He (Steinberg, well-known mostly for his work in New Yorkermagazine)nowexhibits in art galleries. I prefer that subtle approach rather than something as obvious as political cartooning. " "Not many people talk about it, but you have to consider the environment in which a cartoon appears," Brewster says. ' 'Editorial cartoons in a large-circulation daily paper have got to get you right away, the way Conrad's (L.A . Times' political cartoonist) do , or you'll miss them.

Stein berg is more for the New Yorker's readers, who're very leisurely - intellectual."

"Steinberg is esoteric," agrees Peck. "A cartoonist has to tailor his work the way a stand-up comedian does for an audience."

Both Peck and Brewster show a predilection for the uncompromisingly stark medium of pen and ink. "I'm a fundamentalist," says Peck. "Drawing is the most honest form of communication, and putting black ink on white paper is the most honest form of drawing. " The vogue in illustration for slickness saddens him. "It's so cosmetic, so technique-oriented."

Unlike strokes in charcoal, pencil, pastels, air brushing, or painting, inked lines do not lend themselves to "cosmetic surgery." Pen strokes cannot be blended, rubbed, smoothed, erased, or painted over (without an ugly, visible blob of white paint or ink).

"You can't hide anything when using pen and ink," says Brewster.

"If you don't have a point of view of a personal vision, the medium won't work for you. I don't mean draftsmanship necessarily. Jules Feiffer dropped out of nearly every bullpen (jargon for commercial art staff) he joined because he can't draw, but his cartoons convey an original point of view."

"You can teach someone drawing

techniques , but cartooning isn't something that can be taught," insists Peck. The subject in fact is seldom included in the curricula of universities and colleges noted for art education.

"You must have a natural inclination for this sort of expression," the instructor continues, "but successful cartooning requires a slow maturation process. There's no such thing as a child prodigy cartoonist as there are child prodigy musicians you have to have witnessed and uridergone enough in life to make satirical observations.

"I think you'll find that most cartoonists were underdogs in their youth. Cartooning became their only means of gaining revenge on the world." Peck freely admits he was an underdog.

So does Brewster, who adds that plain eccentricity also figures importantly in a cartoonist's psyche. He mentions the Bay Area underground cartoonists (whose comics have occasionally been impounded as "obscene literature") as extreme examples of nonconformists .

Brewster met a number of these characters during his days as a freelance journalist for several San Francisco underground papers and the now-defunct Ramparts magazine. Robert Crumb (mostly famous for his Zap Comics, Fritz the

Cat, the "Keep on truckin" cartoon yet the style itself is honest.

"It suits his message perfectly," and the cover of the record album "Cheap Thrills") has turned down says Peck. "It's very straightlucrative offers for a single page of forward. The underground style is ths work - even from Playboy- to based on that of the early animated stay underground. Others can films, which reached thousands more than the print media did." seldom be trusted.

THE UNSINKABLE BASHFUL BLONDE

Bikini season is her Waterloo

By Diane Howard Most people that I have encountered are plagued with a few anxieties such as a fear of skiin g, tall buildings, spiders, or even the opposite sex. But I am not blessed with any of these normal anxieties , indeed my anxiety is quite abnormal. My first outbreak of terror usually begins in May and blessedly leaves in September. My particular anxiety ?

The fear of summer.

It 's not as if I don 't know where my anxiety stems from . Th e major incident that spurred my anxiety problem o ccurred at my first boy-girl party when I was thirteen . My host just happened to have an Olympic-sized swimming pool. As we all grew tired of playing Marco Polo, some bright fellow suggested we stage a bathing su it contest . I felt that this contest would be a great opportunity to show of my newly bought Sear's bikini, so I strutted around with all the other girls .

But to my dismay , when the votes were tallied I came in seventh place! It wasn't as if I minded placing seventh, it was just that I was beaten by two girls who didn't even own training bras and I did! From this tragic incident in my sensitive teens I grew to fear how my body might be judged .

I sometimes think that maybe my life in the world lies in the east . Every summer I patiently attempt to achieve the perfe~t

golden tan , but I wind up with a sunburn that always peels . Going to the beach for me would be like deliberately placing me in a fry-pan. But if I am forced to make a visit to the beach I always arrive after three o'clock with sun screen plastered on my body and zin c oxide on my nose .

Nothing about the summer agrees with my body . If I leave my house to go to the store, in five minutes the pollen will find its way into my sensitive nose, making me run for the Dristan ai sle . If the temperature reaches higher than 92 °F, my neck will break out in a heat rash . AnJ my uncomfortable body even seems to affect objects around me, mainly my car, causing it to overheat if driven further than two miles .

I just can't understand the giddiness of my friends when summer approaches. Don't they suffer at all with the heat and the humid days that it will bring? Sometimes I think that maybe there is a deep dark secret that they aren 't devulging on how to combat the summer. The only solution I can ever come up with is to sit in front of the air conditioner and sip Lipton ice tea all day long.

Sometimes I think the manufacturers of summer clothes know of my anxiety and design with my problem in mind , exposing all of me for the world to see . Why else would their summer clothes line consist of

size nine and under? Don't they realize that there are still a few of us women with wellrounded, curved hips? Last summer I thought that maybe I could finall y fit into some Ditto shorts but I couldn 't even get the zipper up! Whatever happened to the blessed bloomers and the unrevealing moo-moo?

As the refreshing winteri has changed through spring to the unmerciful summer, I can't help but plan for my escape . Maybe Alaska would be the perfect paradise for me this summer.

Reader's Forum Editor: I think the lunch room, where we eat, could have a different arrangement of the tables and chairs and more tables and chairs so that more people could find a place toea~ or just sit down and enjoy themselves . I noticed that if you are not there at a certain time that you usually can't find a place to sit.

Also, I think that the umbrellas on the patio need to be repaired. I think there should be ash trays on the tables and everybody should clean off their table when they are through. I am new here this semester but these are the things I have observed. Most all the other things in the lunch room are well organized.

I feel if the above things were corrected it would cut down on congestion in the lunch area .

Editor: Hey! Am I the only one going blind in the cafeteria trying to study while eating my lunch? Is the lighting merely an afterthought of the interior decorator or is it meant to pad the pocketbooks of the local optometrists?

Surely there are some fluorescent fixtures laying around that could be installed with little money or effort.

Perhaps this one small complaint will get through to those responsible for lighting .

Choral groups cover music spectrum Repertoire focuses on basics, skills

By Derace Orput Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.

The Mourning Bride (1607) It is highly unlikely that one will find softened rocks or bended oak trees aro und the campus, but perhaps a few savage breasts may have been soothed by the music of Palomar's choral groups, directed

by David Chase.

The Concert Choir is the largest of the daytime groups. It consists of "an eclectic group of people" with skills ranging from virtually none to fairly extensive. The class, which now holds 40, is open to all students with no auditions required. "It's a place where a person can come to get started as a singer," states Chase.

Music sung by the choir is mostly soprano-alto-baritone and some four-part pieces. "I try to cover all basics in more or less all the groups.

We do some popular things, Baroque, and concert music of a cultural sort."

Another group, the Chamber Singers, seems to be where the vocally elite meet at Palomar.

Auditions are required for this 24 person group.

"Again, we try to cover a wide range of music, but it focuses on the central choral repertoire that is respected by all choral groups everywhere, which includes Renaissance and Baroque music."

Last year the group toured Mexico City, and this year they are planning a tour in San Francisco in the spring. They also give formal concerts in the theatre here and branch out into some community events.

However, Chase emphasizes, "We don't like to interfere with people's studies. We're very sensitive about that."

Still another group is the Jazz/ Rock Vocal Ensemble, which numbers 13. Most of the members also sing in Chamber Singers and are "experienced choral singers.

They need to be able to read enough music to learn the kinds of arrangements we do, which tend to be fairly complicated."

A wide range of music is sung by the ensemble. "Some of the

arrangements are my own," said Chase. "Some are by people I know which are on the market, and some are standard arrangements that any group can buy. We try to keep a mixture of those so we always have our own individual sound."

One of the main concepts of the ensemble is to give the singers the feeling of being part of the audience.

Therefore, Chase does not conduct them. "I just play the piano," he explains. "I stay out of the way in a performance and they're in charge."

The group is accompanied by a fairly sophisticated sound system, and is backed up by "a minimum of piano, bass and drums." Horns are also used occasionally, as are electric and acoustic pianos.

Several soloists are featured, both i.n written and improvised solos.

But "the main emphasis is on the ensemble and its ability to sing together as a unit and to entertain."

Usually an adjudicator is present at festivals to make comments, thereby allowing students to learn from both the adjudicator and other groups. "That's plenty of reason to go someplace, and bringing home a trophy is not very interesting."

Chase has been directing, teaching theory and "sort of everything else" at Palomar for six years. "The first year I taught everything. It was terrible."

He grew up in Ohio as a choral musician and received his degrees in choral directing at Ohio State, where he was part of a jazz band in his undergraduate year. He then moved to San Diego county and directed choral groups at UCSD before coming here.

He still directs the La Jolla Civic Symphony Chorus at UCSD , which parallels Palomar's Evening Chorale, and commands an "on again-off again" professional group which gives formal concerts specializing in unusual choral works.

Chase proved to be a little bit ahead of his time musically. "I grew up as a jazzer ... and was writing arrangements for a jazz vocal group eight years before it became the popular thing to to do. You couldn't buy any arrangements anywhere.

Now it's a very big business."

"There are a growing number of jazz groups in this area," says Chase, "and some of them are getting to be pretty sophisticated."

Relaxed in spite of his h ectic schedule, the choral director makes a face as he ventures a tentative sip from a mug of suspicious ly lukewarm tea. and goes on to explain Palomar's evening group, the Palomar Chorale, directed by Jim Sheppard.

Both students and community members form this group, which is jointly sponsored by the Music and Continuing Education Departments.

"Some of our students, both music majors and non-majors, sing in that group either in lieu of one of the daytime classes or they sing in there as well as in the daytime."

They rehearse one night a week and are composed mainly of community members thus producing "a little more mature sound. Generally, it's a big enough group that it can perform with a community orchestra and do some of the larger piece repertoire."

The Music Department attempts to provide the basic needs of the students with its wide variety and combination of groups. " A person who comes here not to get a complete education but to sing the kind of music he's really interested in can find a group that will fit his interests and ability level."

As with many community efforts, publicity is often a problem. "When we first started the Palomar Chorale, we put together a mailing list of everybody we could find in our files we thought would be interested in that sort of thing."

The department also has a general mailing list of approximately 1500, which they use along with a little help from local newspapers. "But generally speaking," explains Chase, "we just need more people showing up at our concerts and knowing about us."

As far as competition goes, there seems to be a statewide feeling that "competition in the arts is superfluous. I feel rather strongly that competition as a reason for going to a festival is a negative thing."

MUSIC, MAESTRO - Instructor David Chase enthusiastically conducts one of his groups.

About the only major musical trend Chase sees is disco, which he describes as a high energy mood music, a "minimum music."

He mentions several other types of music which have a psychological and thoughtful impact and a point of view.

music ... designed to make people in a bank keep from arguing with the teller, to make people buy more groceries in the grocery store. There are countless statistics proving that people spend more money when there is music in the background. So we have that kind of thing, and we're just not going to get rid of it in our culture right now."

I cannot take the credit of starting the Escondido Bilingual Center ten years ago. In 1967 I volunteered to teach sewing to a group of ladies called the"SewingClub," sponsored by the ACCESS office in Escondido and a part time teacher was paid by Palomar Community College. We had many Indian and MexicanAmerican ladies who spoke no English , so survival English was taught along with sewing. From this small group of ladies Dr. Patricia Zevin developed, in the fall of 1969, a thriving E.S.L. class. When Felicita School started its Bilingual Program, a Spanish class was started by Dr. Zevin to fill the need of the Anglo Mothers whose children were in the new Bilingual Program. Later men and whole families joined the classes and it became a Bilingual Program .

I contin ued to volunteer my time not only with the adu lts but with the

children, too. Over the years the sewing club was dropped and the children became my focal point. In February 1970 the College hired me to develop the children's program.

All of this has evolved into the large and active Bilingual Education Department of Palomar Community College; which has three centers off campus: in Escondido, Fallbrook and San Marcos, as well as many other programs on campus.

In Escondido we have classes at all levels for adults in E.S.L. and S.S.L. attended by students from all over the world. In the Bilingual Child Development classes we have the children of these adults whose ages are from birth through five.

This semester we had to expand to accommodate more children so their parents could attend classes. We now have space for thirty-eight children including rooms for infants; toddlers; and preschoolers; with seven child care specialists as caregivers, called Preschool Assistants. Teaching English, the child's second language, to the children is one of our specialties along with the development of the whole child, giving lots of loving care and parent support.

I have specialized in the "Infant and Toddler Field" and over the years Palomar Community College has sent me to numerous conferences, seminars and workshops to help me in my professional growth, for which I am very grateful.

Illustrator combines art with biology Artist Hallet favors wolves, dinosaurs as subiects

By B ob Lee How does someone with two congenital birth defects- a lack of a left arm and a limp resulting from unusual leg lengths - happen to choose to become a scientific illustrator?

"I've always loved animals," remarks soft-spoken, bearded Mark Hallett, on campus to teach a seminar course in his field, "and have been divided between science and art. Scientific illustration seemed the perfect compromise . . . I believe there's nothing anyone can't do if he's determined enough."

Or just stubborn? "Or stubborn," he concedes, laughing. Either determination or stubborness carried him through seven years at the California State University at Long Beach.

Units he had earned in a biomedical art program at the City of Hope Medical Center in Los Angeles were not recognized at State. "I was also taking my time," he relates selfdeprecatingly.

"My handicaps weren't giving me problems."

After he left the Long Beach campus with his Bachelor's Degree, he became involved in a major project at Rancho La Brea. The remains of prehistoric mammals were being recovered from the ancient tarpits in La Brea, and Hallett joined the project as a volunteer fossil illustrator.

The fossils there have been unusually well-preserved because the tarry mixtures had completely coated the bones of animals trapped in the pits (streams had also transported bones from afar in to the pits) and had hardened them to the consistency of asphalt. A model of

the stone's shape, and in a number of cases if the titles were lost, the corresponding stones would be forever negated as artistic conceptions. One cannot consult meiseki artists who lived 300 to 400 years ago.

Through experience with meiseki Hallett became acquainted with a unique manner of contemplating nature, but he had already formed his own artistic approach. "All natural things in the world express a spirituality and freedom," he reflects, "and I try to convey these qualities in my work."

An animal which epitomized to him this spirituality and which he particularly enjoys depicting is the wolf. "It's a beautiful animal, independent and possessing a will to live in spite of man," he says

'A ll natural things in the world express a spirituality and freedom.' admiringly. "It's something that steps out of our past, reminding us of when we held no influence over nature . I have a great deal of sympathy for it, because it's such a misunderstood creature and in danger of extinction."

Endangered species in general are of concern to him. "Given the time and opportunity, I would like to do some work for the World Wildlife Fund or the African Wildlife Society, which buys land to donate to eastern African governments as wildlife preserves," he said.

His concern may be related to his work with already extinct life forms.

He seems to find a special delight in resurrecting, so to speak, dinosaurs.

He dreams of building a museum entirely of dinosaur exhibits. The first floor would be a huge circular mass partitioned into several simulated prehistoric habitats with their respective dinosaurs, which would move - in a limited fashion,

'The handicapped are actually forced to become creative, because everyday problems for others present special difficulties.' of course - and utter sounds audioanimatronically, as do the facsimiles of historic figures in Disneyland. Muses Hallett, "If I ever find the money . . ."

Reconstructing prehistoric creatures entails a hefty amount of reading. "You have to keep up with the literature in paleontology, because fresh finds, new fossils, and new interpretations are always turning up. It's a challenging, exciting field." He notes a book by Adrian J . Desmond, The HotBlooded Dinosaurs (1971 paperback edition published by Warner Books, Inc.), which cites increasing evidence why dinosaurs were more likely to be endothermic (warmblooded) than merely sluggish, overgrown , and exceptionally stupid lizards. For example, Desmond relates a historic debate over the stance of the gargantuan Diplodocus. If Diplodocus had been a cold-blooded reptile, its metabolic energy could never have been sufficient to keep its massive body

standing erect. A deep rut in the ground would have been required, furthermore, to accomodate the beast's underside had it crawled around crocodile-fashion. "He (Desmond) is quite logical, and writes with a sense of humor as well," Hallett comments.

Hallett is now collaborating on a book himself with Sylvia Massey, an animal sculptress in Los Angeles, about the art of prehistoric animal reconstruction. He will include ill ustrations of creatures never previously restored, based on freshly unearthed fossils supplied by a Berkeley scientist.

Despite the need for objectivity in this area of illustration, Hallettfeels a num her of these things can be left to the artist's imagination, such as a dinosaur's skin color and surface features. In th e drawing reproduced here he has endowed the head of a Tyrannosaurus rex with a small comb as a sex ual characteristic. No fossil or fossil imprint has been found of such a mark (which would have rapidly decomposed after death), but the idea of the comb is biologically so und- one can easily

When Hallett carrle to San Diego in 1973 on an assignment for the Natural History Museum in Balboa

Park he was introduced to a highpressure situation. The museum's centennial celebration was a mere nine months away, and eight major

Hallett and his coworkers were forced to deduce the original plans for ecological exhibits in Sefton Hall at the San Diego Natural History Museum. displays had yet to be finished within the Sefton Hall of Shore Ecology, whose theme is to visually survey the coastal environments of present-day San Diego: tide pools, sand dunes, kelp forests, etc. Hallett had to travel along the county's coastline, supervising the photographing of the shore for reference.

To further complicate matters, the scaffoldings and backdrops for some of the displays had been partially assembled before he arrived, and the original plans had been mislaid. There was no time to tear these constructions down and plan new designs. Hallett and his coworkers were forced to deduce the original plans from the incomplete structures. Somehow they managed to meet the deadline without compromising craftsmanship.

"I believe there's nothing anyone can't do if he's determined enough.

The handicapped are actually forced to become creative, because everyday problems for others present special difficulties. I just don't like to emphasize my own handicaps, because I don't want people to feel sorry for me."

Smilodon californicus, an extinct saber-toothed cat about the size of a lion, was constructed on the basis of such fossils, and Hallett built around the model a display detailing excavation operations and the history of the tarpits.

Thereafter, one would have expected him to design only scientific exhibits, butinsteadhewenttowork on an unusual temporary exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Nat ural History. From Japan had come a collection of meiseki , the subtle art of interpreting in the shape of a mineral specimen or stone the image of a life form or a landscape. The meiseki artist then entitles the stone with the image it suggests to him. "We had to be very careful not to lose or confuse the title labels, as meiseki is a subjective art form," explains Hallett. Without the aid of the title, a casual viewer may see something completely different from the artist's interpretation of

CONTINUING EDUCATION (Continued from page 1) might find him at the Del Mar track during the horse racing season, or listening to music. He added, " There is always some type of music filling my house, because my son is into that."

Carli, who first came to Palomar in 1965, began working as an English instructor. It was not until some years later that he got involved with Continuing Education and Community Service.

As far as the future goes, Carli says, "The potential growth for Continuing Education is excellent mostly for senior citizens, because our neighboring communities, San Marcos, Rancho Bernardo and Vista, are mostly retirement places." He looks forward to seeing a larger number of senior citizens participating in the program.

111E BANK YOU DON'T HAVE TO lliiNK ABOUT'

Ruth Frederick supervises local payroll department

By Doris L. Garlick Suppose you are new student at Palomar College. There is a need for some extra money to cover books, supplies, insurance, gasoline, in addition to regular living expenses, so there is the urgent need for a job on campus. With empty pockets, you anxiously await payday - and get over to the Payroll Office early, as there will no doubt be a long line.

A visit to the Payroll Department can be quite a shock. If one expected a huge room full of desks, typewriters and payroll clerks, typing up all those hundreds of paychecks to be distributed around campus, one is certainly due for a surprise.

The door in the Administration Building opens to disclose a tiny room, every inch of space being used, storing record books, file cabinets, and a desk covered with work in progress. Behind that desk a friendly, efficient young woman quickly turns to give you her undivided attention. Gay Gilchrist has served here since July, 1973, and has a terrific rapport with people. This comes in very handy in this office each payday when ruffled feathers frequently need to be smoothed. On her desk is a huge book over three inches thick containing the records of just the hourly employees students and staff. Another book contains pages for the evening instructors .

One may then be ushered into the even smaller office of Mrs. Ruth Frederick, the Payroll Department Supervisor. Here again, one senses great efficiency and a deep concern for any and all problems one might need to discuss. Everything is at her fingertips for immediate reference.

It was recently reported that the greatest portion of Palomar's income from the state is spent for wages. There are 284 instructors paid monthly. The rest ofthe staff of regular employees totals around 268. Those who teach evenings are paid additionally on an hourly basis. Many of the hourly, temporary employees are made up of. students trying to help defray some of their college expenses.

700. That calls for mountains of record-keeping and checking.

Now, back to our desperate one who is among that latter group, trying to act nonchalant, pretending the pockets are full and that this is merely a nuisance to have to stop by before class, our student asks for "ius paycheck. He is informed that there are no paychecks in this office.

"But, I was told that I would be paid on the tenth -and today is the tenth!" By now the air of calm has quickly faded and is replaced by sheer panic.

The response is always the same.

With extreme patience coming from having to explain over and over every payday, Gay replies, "you must go to the Cashier's Office where all paychecks for temporary employees are distributed after 1:15 p.m." The student is out the door and on his way before the sentence is completed. He mutters, "If they don't have the paychecks there, what do they do in that office?"

Payroll Supervisor, Ruth Frederick, is most happy to answer that question for us.

The faculty has time cards. The rest of the staff must fill out Time Sheets which must be verified and signed by their respective supervisors. They are then turned in at the Payroll Office.

Here they are carefully checked, one by one, and details are verified.

If there is a discrepancy, they must contact the employee, clear this up, and then proceed with the next step.

The time is entered on the books and the necessary adjustments are made. The sheets are coded according to the department doing the work. One copy is then forwarded to the San Diego County Department of Education in San Diego.

Upon arrival, every one of these hundreds of copies must be carefully checked again before it goes to Data Processing in the County offices.

Now they are ready for the check writing process.

Is this finally the stage where we should hear the clackety-clackofthe many typewriters in a room full of payroll typists? No! The paychecks, or "pay warrents," are written by computers when all the information So all told, there are 400-500 is fed into them! This process is not instructors, including the hourly the only one here for Palomar evening teachers, plus the hourly College, but it is repeated for every classified employees, comprising elementary school, high school, and part time adults and students, who junior college in the area. The fluctuate day to day up to a total of payroll warrents are then brought

out to San Marcos for dispensing.

"Everyone is paid once a month , but we have two paydays," says Ruth Frederick. "The regular staff (contract employees) are paid on the last working day of each month and the temporary employees are paid on the tenth of the month after l :1 5 p.m. in the Cashier's Office.

"The regular staff process is similar but their pay warrents are distributed to them in envelopes.

"Then things are more or less quiet for a while. The only time we hear from anyone is if someone feels his check is not right. You might say we are like 'the bank you don't have to think about,"' says Ruth with a laugh.

"The problems repeated most often are with the hourly employees.

We work from the Time Sheets turned in to us. Some are unreadable. Or, perhaps they have not been signed by the supervisor in charge.

"Then, some new employees forget to turn in their acceptance papers to us in time when they are first hired and their names and information did not get on our books nor to the computers in time for recording this pay period. On payday, they rush over to our office and scream, 'I worked, how come I didn 't get my paycheck?'

"We have over 500 people on salary and over 1000 on hourly pay.

That involves a great deal of detailed work to be sure everything is correct and this must be done, for the present, manually. Eventually we will go to computers and we are really looking forward to that.

"One lady came down to our office with her Time Sheet and expected to exchange it right there for her check.

She hadn't even been hired correctly. It does take a while to have these papers completed, verified, and sent to the County so their names and records will be in the computer.

"No one who works for the college can be paid unless their records are already in the computer, so that must be done first. It is difficult for the employee to understand this.

They have obligations to meet. After working all month one can see why they would be upset if that vital paycheck were not waiting for them.

"However, we do try to accommodate them and try to get processed whatever needs to be done to help.

CONSCIENTIOUS- Ruth Frederick keeps her finger on the pulse of the Payroll Department.

But sometimes they must wait another month because all the work done for all the schools down at the County offices necessitates allotting only certain periods for each school.

"We have four deadlines per month, where specific papers must be in the mail to the County offices.

Each step must be on schedule. After the checks arrive, we have to verify certain details , notify some that their T. B. cards are due; sometimes separating certain checks to go to specific departments, or pulling checks people want held for one reason or another.

"On the day the pay warrants are due, it is a madhouse around here.

Our phone rings constantly all day, even starting before we open the door in the morning! The schedule never changes, it is the tenth of the month after 1 :15 p.m. at the Cashier's window in the Business Office. Still the phone calls are solid all day long on that day.

"But, there is a reward to all this .

The smile of contentment on their faces caused by the sense of wellbeing upon receiving that hardearned and long awaited check is a joy to see." Ruth knows, she worked in that Cashier's office!

She was born in Detroit, Michigan, lives on Phil Mar Lane in Vista. Her husband, Fred, is a commercial tire salesman in Escondido. They have two daughters: Sharon, 36, and Lynn, 33. The family loves to go camping "to get

away for a while" and she considers this her hobby.

When the family moved to North County from Grossmont she decided to take brush-up courses at Palomar in the Business Department. She also enrolled in a Work Experience program during the hiatus and did filing four hours per day - without pay- just for the experience.

By the end of that summer of 1969 there was an opening in the Business Office for a cashier and supply clerk and Ruth was hired.

This led to her present position as supervisor in the Payroll Department.

Ruth and Gay find their work in this office very exacting, recording so many minute details which must be done meticulously and according to specific schedules. So, if employees want to assure themselves of correct amounts on their pay warrants- and on timethey must be just as precise in filling out their Time Sheets completely.

They must be sure they are clearly legible as well as accurate, then signed by the Supervisor, and turned in on time so the Payroll Department will have sufficient opportunity to process them prior to sending the information on to the computers in San Diego.

"Then ," Frederick says with a sigh, "the less they have to think about us means the better job we are doing."

Writer urges pedal power

By Mark Larson The price of gas is expected to reach $2 a gallon before the end of 1980. The average amount paid for automobiles in the United States in 1979 was $2100 . The North County Transit District charges students 70 cents round trip to Palomar College from anywhere in North County. The moral of the story is: motorized transportation is becoming very expensive.

Many of Palomar's students are making the transition from horse to peda l power.

The word is - Bicycle.

This article will provide the student interested in bicycles with some basic information. Variables to be presented are cost, what function the bicycle will be used for, and what option and equipment are available.

A good ten-speed bike costs anywhere from two to six hundred dollars. Huffy sells more bikes in America than any other company . Huffys are di stributed through Fedmart and K-Mart stores across the nation . This caliber of bike is usually a

person's first and worst bicycle experience.

Huffys are just too inexpensively produced and sold to be considered a serious transportation investment .

Biking to and from school can be both pleasurable and excellent exercise, but will require a substantial initial investment .

Today's price range fora quality lightweight bicycle is two to four hundred dollars.

This price will provide one with some good basic equipment. A ten - speed touring bike features a lightweight frame, high pressure tires, and convenient quick release hubs. The majority of lightweight bicycles sold today are imported from japan. America imports its performance bikes because labor costs here are too high to produce a compet itive ly priced product.

Lightweight metal alloys are used in the construction of many modern bicycle components. Alloy parts are approximately three times lighter than their steel counterparts and hold up as well . Rims , derailers, and seat and handlebar posts are commonly constructed with alloys . A lightweight

bicycle outfitted with such equipment should weigh in at under 30 pounds. These lightweights can make peddling to Palomar daily from Escondido or Encinitas a healthy reality for someone in reasonably good shape .

At this point one might wonder what type of bike and equipment would be wise to look into. Raleigh and Nishiki are basically quality bikes and are sold locally. The Japanese machines are an excellent value for the dollar. The island imports provide more alloy components for the money than their European counterparts. However, Japanese bicycles are still relatively new to the market in terms of wear, and their durability has not been completely proven . The basic pervading rule usually is: the less a bike weighs, the more it will cost.

If a person is seriously interested in purchasing a good bike, attaining a little more information is a wise step. You local bike shop would be more than happy to satisfy your questions and personal requirements. A mere visit is all it take s. And above all , get on your bicycle and RIDE .

Hinthorne discloses key to math comprehension

By Doris L. Garlick Who was Sir Isaac Newton? The majority of us - it is amazing how man y!- wou'ld say, "Oh, he's the one who had an apple fall on his head."

So much for the English scientist, astronomer and mathematician who, within an 18 month period in the mid-1600's, invented a new kind of mathematics (calculus), discovered the secrets of light and color (using prisms) and showed how the universe is held together (the latter of course was due to that apple which became famous) .

Why do so many of us brush aside any reference to mathematics in any form? If we acknowledge it at all in conversation, it is quite apt to be with, "I can't stand math. I'm no good at it. I have trouble just trying to balance my checkbook! UGH!" This dreaded subject is ''required" in some form throughout our years of schooling from elementary through college and is definitely needed for obtaining degrees. Yet, we think of it as dulls ville. Why? Palomar's Math Department provided the answers. An entirely new outlook was uncovered during an interview with Stephen G. Hinthorne.

A former student at Palomar, Steve went on to obtain his teaching credentials and returned in 1968 as an instructor. He teaches five courses (including one evening class) covering algebra, statistics, calculus, and a liberal arts course in math entitled Math 18: Introduction to Mathematics. He says that he, too, had found math was his most difficult subject in school and resulted in his lowest grades.

In addition to the struggles in elementary school, Steve's ninth grade teacher was also the football coach. "He was a pretty good math teacher," the former student s ays, "but in classroom discussions, guess what was talked about! He would seem to say, 'learn this' and then, 'let's talk about something more interesting.'"

His math teacher for the junior year in high school changed all this.

That teacher said, "There is a lot to this subject and it's worth pursuing.

Math is the key to a broad education." Hinthorne says, "He pointed out to me that math was the key to all the sciences I was taking. He was interested enough in his students to let them know math was far more

than algebraic manipulations."

Following his schooling in Vista and two years at Palomar, Steve went on to study at the University of California at Santa Barbara wh ere he earned his B.A., th en acquired his Masters at the University of Massachusetts. He and his wife, Vicki, a part time employee of Total Graphics in San Marcos, returned to Vista where he had lived sin ce he was in the sixth grade, when his father, Gilbert, moved the family to this area from Van Nuys. Gilbert has been a successful building contractor since 1955. Steve's mother, Esth er, and sister, Marianne, operate the Sunrise Escrow Co., in Vista.

Steve and Vicki have two young daughters, Traci, 10, and Marni, 7.

They live in a very pleasant neighborhood in northeast Vista on a little over an acre of land on Elevado Road. Steve's hobbies keep him busy during his off-hours.

Musically inclined, he plays piano, organ, guitar, and is learning to play the flute. A sports enthusiast, he enjoys participating in basketball, tennis, racquetball, and running.

Hinthorne serves as Campus Advisor for the Christian Science College Organization at Palomar.

"Why is math so difficult for some and so easy for others?" Hinthorne explains. "When children are very young, the parents watch for signs that will show where the future talents will be. If they enjoy music, they are encouraged with special lessons and this is foremost in their training.

"All other subjects are merely tolerated, and sadly neglected. If it is art, or dancing, or sports, all attention pushes these talents up the scale of importance. This should not be. Equal effort must be placed on all subjects in the curriculum so the child receives a well-rounded education and is not only familiar with them, but understands why he is studying them.

"Students who grew up lacking a thorough understanding of math find it more difficult to be good math teachers. They need to be able to instill an incentive to dig deeper.

School courses and books have presented math as a series of meaningless technical procedures.

There is so much more to the context of math than algebra, geometry, etc. can possibly cover.

Hinthorne emphasizes this early

in his class, Math 18: Introduction to Mathematics, by quoting from the textbook, Mathematics and Western Culture by Morris Kline, who states in the preface: "The object of this book is to advance the thesis that mathematics has been a major cultural force in Western civilization. Almost everyone knows that mathematics serves the very practical purpose of dictating engineering design. Fewer people seem to be aware that mathematics carries the main burden of scientific reasoning and is the core of the major theories of physical science.

"It is even less widely known that mathematics has determined the direction and content of much philosophic thought, has destroyed and rebuilt religious doctrines, has supplied substance to economic and political theories, has fashioned major painting, musical, architectural, and literary styles, has fathered our logic and has furnished the best answers we have to fundamental questions about the nature of man and his universe."

Further he goes on to say, "Despite these by no means modest contributions to our life and thought, educated people almost universally reject mathematics as an intellectual interest. This attitude toward the subject is, in a sense, justified.

School courses and books have presented 'mathematics' as a series of apparently meaningless technical procedures."

Hinthorne says this is so true in most classrooms today where the young child is told, "Here it is. This is how we do it." But the children do not know why they do this . It means nothing to them.

The math textbook author continues, "Such material is as representative of the subject as an account of the name, position, and function of every bone in the h urn an skeleton is representative of the living, thinking and emotional being called man." Hinthorne adds, "There is so much more to the concept of math than algebra, geometry, etc., and we never see it."

Laymen who use math for little more than to balance their checkbooks, the author says, have "objected to the naked dry material usually presented." Steve replies, "And rightly so. To listen to a teacher who doesn't like math to begin with, but who has to teach

RADIO STATION ADDS FEATURES 1

New wave inundates KSM

By Rick Bell "Pretty soon we'll be featuring block concerts , a weekly feature artist as well as our 'Backstage Pass' program," stated KSM-99 m u¡sic director Brett Bickley. "And on 'Backstage Pass' be looking for artists like the Cramps, Joe Perry, and maybe even Genesis."

The tall, articulate Bickley also related weekly feature programs such as Pam Parker doing a Wednesday and Saturday soul program and also "a Saturday oldies show, three hour jazz show immediately following the Wednesday / Saturday soul features, and we also have a Monday three-hour classical spot."

All this good music is not only heard by Palomar but extends all around North County.

"We reach about an estimated 160,000 people including a square block from Solana Beach up to the Tri Cities, over to Escondido and to Poway," Bickley explained, emphasizing, "Bigtime artists like Tom Petty, Joe Jackson , and the Police were all picked up off college radio.

"After doing some work for KPRI I came back to Palomar with some good feature-type ideas," Brett continued, taking note, "KPRI-FM has an internship program for college radio majors and they pick about

three people from each college radio station for a nine week indoctrination program. It helped fill in a lot of holes concerning radio production."

Out of the 40 radio jocks on the KSM staff, being picked for the internship program means knowing something about music, which Bickley does .

"Most major groups in Ireland, like Boomtown Rats, have had to leave and go to either England or to Europe, because it's impossible to play music in a place when you're getting firebombed every other night."

On seeing Iggy Pop (again), "Iggy was the first punk, by far . Throwing himself on glass and covering himself with peanut butter and jumping into the audience pre-dated Johnny Lydon by ten years. I saw him at the Bottom line in New York about five years ago and he actually broke a glass onstage and carved a swastika into his chest. He didn 't do anything like that this last time I saw him . I guess the scars are taking longer to heal."

An afficianado of the Knack, Bickley heaped heavy praise on their work. "They're a good L.A power-rock band. When their first album, 'Get the Knack' came out, everybody got the Knack. And,

when they gained commercial success, it became big to put them down. That's when the 'Knuke the Knack' movement started.

Everybody says they're too commercial, well, commercial sells." ¡ Without hesitation , the talkative Bickley vocalized his feelings on the music industry's future . "The entire industry is on an upswing, despite the adverse economy. Lots of new groups ,the more established stars are still hanging strong, and probably most importantly, record sales are still healthy. Major labels such as CBS and Warner Brothers are opening new divisions just to handle the college radio departments.

"Disco is not dying. It will always be there. Hard core punk is for the most part burned out and New Wave could be peaking now, but it's still kind of early to tell. But for sure, Tom Petty will lead the industry for the 1980's. " Brett Bickley will be on campus next year , as a member of the ASG and at some type of post at KSM-99.

Outspoken, quick-witted, never at a loss for words , Brett Bickely generates the new wave feeling that exemplifies the music scene and KSM-FM99.

CAN MATH REALLY BE FUN? - Instructor Steve Hinthorne convinces his students, and tomorrow's teachers, that it can be.

math, will convey these bits and pieces of dry material and will also convey the dislike for the subject.

Students get the impression, 'I have to learn this, but there's no reason.

My teachers haven't told me why.'

The reason for this is, the teacher didn't know. Seventy percent of our students are turned off to math by the sixth or eighth grade and only thirty seniors in a class of 1,000 will choose to take math when it is not required.

We make the mistake of learning only what we think we will need and no more. In fact, our "ignorance of math has attained the status of a social grace," the author says. There is a mutual ignoring of the subject.

"A large part of my endeavor is to get the Elementary Education student to appreciate math, the ones who are going to teach in the elementary schools. That's basically, I think, the main thrust of this course. I feel they should have first of all, primarily an understanding of how it is used and has been used in man's development- and then they will be able to tell their students why they are learning the techniques that they are learning.

"They are not learning it because math says you have to do it that way. They are learning it because over a period of time , things and questions that math answers needed Hinthorne tells of their experience to be done that way.
