Alumni Association announced by Dr. Scheidt Formation of a Palomar Community College Alumni Association has been announced by Omar H. Scheidt, college president. Scheidt said a 10-person committee composed of former Palomar College students and graduates has conducted a series of preliminary meetings to discuss the structure and goals of the association. The group will be open to both Palomar graduates and former students who attended classes at the community college but who did not
graduate. Scheidt said the association will be formed "to provide a closer working relationship with the people we serve in the hopes they can assist us in our times of need for support. The group will act as an advisory body that participates in Palomar College activities." George Cordry, a 1955 Palomar graduate who resides in Escondido, had been named acting chairman of the alumni association committee.

"Our plans are to make the association an extensive working group not a social organization," Cordry said. "Obviously, there will be a strong social tie to the college, but we want to lend a total support program to Palomar and its administration, staff and students. A strong, broadbased alumni association can be of great benefit to ¡the college in many sectors." Other committee members are Bob and Betty Sides of Escondido, Carol Williams of San Marcos,
Gordon Budd of Escondido, George and Cleo Havens of Poway, Stan and Anita Maag of of Vista and Frieda Nichols of Escondido. Cordry said there is a possibility the committee will be expanded to 16 persons. Those interested in participating, either as a committee member or an association member, should send their names, addresses, telephone numbers and the years they attended classes at Palomar to: Palomar Alumni Association, cl o Palomar

for artist
responsibility
Edgar Olivares. the artist who was partly responsible for the racquetball mural, has left for Ensenada. His brother, an architect contracting with the Mexican Government became ill, and Edgar (also an architect) felt obligated to see the project through.
Olivares didn't complete his latest mural that he was painting of ASG. "It hurts me to leave it unfinished." Manual Alvarada, president of MEChA, says the club will feel the loss. "He really did a lot for us . He's done enormous amounts of artwork and posters. He's one of the best things to happen to MEChA. We'll keep in touch with him." Olivares promised to keep up with the latest cultural and artistic advances in Mexico , and hopes to incorporate them into any future work he may do here.

The Planetarium offers free public presentations each Wednesday from 7-10 p.m . A free calendar of upcoming events is available in the Planetarium lobby.
Jim Tucker, newly elected vicepresident of the ASG, was exhuberant about his political responsibility. In the ASG office he's all smiles and still can't get over the easy victory over his opponent. "I didn't think I was going to make it, due to my opponent's tenacity." Tucker feels he straddles both worlds of the minority groups, and thinks this helped his victory. "I won by 100 votes . Being half black and half Japanese I guess both groups helped vote me in. " He jokingly said that he's going to start his own new race called the " Blackanese." "I think the traffic problem on Mission Road is horrendous. I'd like to make some proposals to the executive board to see if we can come up with some alternatives." To the students of Palomar he extends his gratitude "for supporting and then going out. and voting for me. You will not soon forget this year's ASG."

Band, speaks confidently, "I've sunk half a million dollars into this place. It's totally remodelled. We have a computerized light show and a sound system considered by some to be the best in Southern California. Our uniqueness is we serve no alcohol. We cater to an average age of around 19 or 20. with nothing like the atmosphere of a high school dance. Although one onlooker complained that "This place has an indescribably false atmosphere, but it beats sitting home and watching T.V.," most students seemed to feel otherwise. Chris Acevedo later conceded that the ticket sales "proved it to be an overwhelming success for the Bill Coviello . the owner of the premiere night." An undisclosed Distillery East and one time co- percentage of the money will make producer of the Marshall Tucker its way into the ASG treasury.
Thursday night. Fi.rst night of "Palom ar College Night" at Distillery East in Escondido. Chris Acevedo, a legislator partly responsible for its inception , calls it a "place to see and be seen." Travis Wind en . another ASG legislator present at the opening, spoke like an excited politician greeting his constituency, "I voted for this thing . I supported it. I think the 'Bratz' are excellent. I expect to be here a lot. "I hope Palomar students follow the lead. When you meet someone in school, they're like programmed computers. They have a lot on their minds. But here they can kick back and have a blast ."
