Early recognition and prompt treatment are necessary. The signs are sudden onset. of high fever (102 2_r mQ!:e), vomiting and diarrhea that may lead to hypotension and shock, a sun burn-like rash , and diminished urinary output.

Studies suggest that the cc tinuous use of tampons throughot.c menstruation may be a factor as well as vaginal colonization with staph aureus.

Women who have had an episode of TSS face considerable risk of recurrences and should not use tampons for several cycles. The risk is low for women who have not had TSS (3 per 100.000\.

The Health Services and Public Health recommend that women limit use of tampons to two or three days of the cycle. change frequently, discontinue use at night and do not use Rely brand.

Do you know what house your moon is in? Is Saturn really the bad guy of the sky?

Everything you need to know to cast your own and your family's horoscopes is taught in a Palomar class in astrology, which meets each Tuesday evening from 6:30 to 9:30 in P-22.

The class is taught by Tom Corcoran, who was trained by the Max Heindel Rosecrucians. Corcoran uses simple "layman's" language to help students understand their strong and weak points. According to him, the horoscope is of no value until it is "read," so, much time is spent on interpretation of the natal chart.

Other classes to help you get in touch with yourself and the world around you include parapsychology which also meets Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 9:30 in ES-21; metaphysics and meditation on Thursday evenings from 7 to 9 in G 7; and handwriting analysis which meets Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 9:30 in BE-5.

A new section of the popular "Touch for Health" class will meet in BE-6 from 6:30 to 9:30 Thursday evenings. "Touch for Health" provides students with the tools and methods to learn, listen and feel what's going on in their own bodies and help maintain their physical and mental health. It is a group participation class combining the ancient Oriental healing arts with healing and prevention techniques pioneered by chiropractors. Participants will learn kinesiology, accupressure and how to effectively use neuro-lymphatic and neurovascular points.

There is no charge to attend any of these Continuing Education classes except for a nominal college health and accident insurance and parkng fee. Students can register during their first class session.

IN THE CLASSROOM

Graphic Arts takes variety of field trips Graphic Arts instructors Neil Bruington and Letty Brewster recently took their Graphic Arts 10 class to a couple of print shops in San Diego, Conklin Litho and Arts and Crafts.

"The trip gave the students exposure to what is going on in the graphic arts field," Bruington stated . "They saw how actual print shops accomplish things as well as conditions, quality of work and job availability. " Both Arts and Crafts and Conklin Litho are extremely sophisticated and the students seemed most impressed with the emphasis on accuracy in all phases of production .

"Everyone was fascinated with seeing the four-color process from beginning artwork to the bounding and folding ," noted Mrs. Brewster . "They got a realistic view from Frank Anchor, the plant superintendant, of the work put into a printshop. Arts and Crafts has three shifts, seven days a week, with the emphasis on quality and detail."

Rockpile provides

By Rick Bell Rockpile is giving us more than "Seconds of Pleasure" with their new release .

Billy Bremmer, Terry Williams, Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe create a driving yet suttle sound that can rock your socks off or ease you on down into a relaxed state of mind.

Dave Edmunds' searing guitar and organ backed with Nick Lowe's bouncy yet intense basslines blend into tight packages of music like "Wrong Again ."

"Teacher Teacher" is the single currently hitting the airwaves but even "Fool Too Long" or "A Knife and a Fork" could conceivably revv up the power to blast a hole in your speakers.

Exposure on the radio for bands like Rockpile is inconsequential. If they get ariplay, that means all the more people will get turned on to Rockpile . But, as is the case of many, good bands, they're considered 'unplayable,' and can't fit in a radio playlist between Van Halen and AC/DC.

How the bookstore competes in the marketplace was the subject of Mike Schaefer's talk to Russ Jackson's advertising class. Schaefer is the assistant supplies buyer for the Palomar Bookstore.

Commercials had been written prior to the session for the bookstore by members of the class. A wide variety of ads had been written . Schaefer critiqued them while drawing comparisons to commercial spots they had used in some campaigns.

In most cases the students hit on all the advertising angles, textbooks being the most obvious. Art supplies, 200 different styles and colors of magic markers and even the tree in the back of the store were some of the strategies used to produce the best ad .

But Schaefer pointed out others, like a check cashing policy, photo finishing and a machine that re-records cassette tapes.

Schaefer likes to call them "hybrid departments ."

Many conclusions were drawn from Schaefer's talk. Slow periods of business, like December and May, should be used to promote sales. Most of the bookstore's advertising is done on the radio, with relatively few ads run in the newspaper.

Flyers on car windows are also effective advertising methods for the book store .

Using the Palomar Bookstore as a client provided an excellent way for young advertisers to get a feel for the marketplace. The next step for Mr. Jackson's class is to go out and recruit actual businesses to advertise on KSM-FM.

Americans should unite behind Reagan

By Rick Bell Ronald Reagan em erged fro m the recent election with the possibilities of a new national political alignment that w ill be shaped and t ested throughout hi s term at the White Hou se.

In this interim, Reagan w ill se t about putting his campaign rhet oric into action .

Reagan's campaig n w as, believe it or n ot, educative. Through out his e ntire campaign

he impressed upon us the t r uth: The nation is not as productive at home or as strong as it should be abroa d . Reagan is r ight. Carter doom ed h im self t hrough his own governing .

Th e mos t interesting thought about Ronald Reagan is that hi s inner compass does not point backward - meaning his mood is far from n os talgic. He doesn't want t o return to the past, but wants to return to th e past's way of fac ing the futur e.

M a ny societies h ave h ad a vision of a

golden era, and have looked to the past to locate it . Americans have traditionally looked to the future for these golden days ahead . Reagan rejects the notion of America having already hit its peak. He seeks not to restore traditional social structures, but wants to restore belief in progressive change.

The new President will show evidence of this come January 20. Will he provide the money to big cities like he promised? Will the economy bolster itself due to less government interference? Can fu~l prices go down, especially in the wake of an announcement that OPEC might boost prices by 40 percent? And what will be the effect of Reagan' s proposed $3 billion increase in defense spending?

It's time for the nation to unify and back the President-elect with the support he will constantly need. The only way to supply this is a solidification of every individual in this country. Ronald Reagan can't do it alone.

TRIUMPHANT- Photographer Tom Soto caught President-elect Ronald R eagan and wife Nancy on the eve of the election at a rally in Fashion Valley

By Chris Bille Now with the election out of our minds talk will again center on the Electoral College, that body which actually does the electing of our President.

In the twentieth century however, the College has become nothing more than a rubber stamp of the popular vote. The last time a person has won the Presidency on the basis of winning the Electoral vote alone was 1888, when Benjamin Harrison, while losing the popular election, captured the needed majority of the College vote.

From the foregoing then, one can draw the conclusion that a repeat of 1888 would be a worst case scenario and an unlikely event today.

Let's keep this Electoral College then, and do away with any brash thoughts about its death. While an argument can be presented claiming obsolescence, it is a unique American institution, set up by our forefathers to ensure the continued perseverance of our country and our uniquely American form of government.

Learning Resources provides innovative classroom TV

By Doris L. Garlick Which would you rather do, watch TV or go to class? At Palomar, you will soon be able to do both.

November 15 a new 'face' will begin to appear in your classrooms.

Whatever subject your instructor may be discussing, s/ he may switch on the TV and there before the class will be video/ audio illustrations of the subject matter. Where do these 'programs' originate? In our own Learning Resources Center, Room LR-1 behind the Health Center.

Upon entering the Center, one finds many individual cubicles called 'carrel sections' where one may view slide sets, film strips, or listen to cassettes or records. These are available to students as well as the community, but may not be checked out, exceptfor a very special few. This material covers many courses on campus to be used in conjunction with instructions, workbooks, or texts. Just a few of the many subjects covered would be: History of Art, Nursing program, Math, English, Child Development, many music materials, Computer, Real Estate, Business and Salesmanship.

A special room has been set aside for video tapes which one may view upon special request. Due to copyrights these are limited to people on campus and not to persons such as the news media. The Telescope being on campus was welcome to enter the 'inner sanctum'.

One meets here, Lei Ayala, who in addition to being a gracious receptionist, is a 'clerk of all trades,' but officially a Library Media Technician III, involved in all phases of the work going on here and most knowledgeable and efficient. While listening to her descriptions of all

their services available, one has visions of a human card catalog in a library containing every subject imaginable.

The Director of the Learning Resources department, now to be called Instructional Media Center, is Keith Hanssen. His part of the tour brings one into contact with yet another computer in our library system. In fact, a computer is not a rarity on campus any more. Here, we have a Computer Room and each has its own individual functions.

One machine was busily typing away on a roster of teachers' names and addresses which it also alphabetizes and gives each a sequential num her. Computer sheets are made to drop, fold by fold, into a stack. After a pre-programmed number of names, in this case 58, the machine stops, sends the paper on past the fold line and continues on.

The key which starts this roster is '!TTR.' If there is to be a mailing going out to these teachers, the machine is programmed to address row upon row of self-sticking labels, also on sheets which automatically fold as they drop into the container.

To start this procedure all the operator needs to do is press the key '!TTL' for labels.

Hanssen had the task of putting all this information into the computer, on micro-thin mini disks, each of which holds 128,000 characters.

(Plus he bought one for his home into which his wife feeds favorite recipes to call up at a moment's notice and they also record all the data necessary for their income tax records.)

When there is a change of name or address, the disk is inserted and proper keys pressed. The machine seeks out the spot where the change

is to be made, removes old information and adds the new.

He also demonstrates a computer called 'Little Apple' set up for dental students whereby they may come in and take a quiz to determine their progress. Hanssen inserted a disk, and upon instruction the computer displayed on the screen a list of dental terminology with which the student is supposed to be familiar.

After a careful study of them, the student signals she is ready to proceed with the questions related to these words.

If Hanssen answered the question properly, the computer screen would say, 'Good , Keith, you are on your way.' Then he decided to deliberately give some incorrect answers to show what the 'Little Apple' would do about that. Back came the reply: 'No, Keith , 'try again. Maybe you spelled it wrong.'

The student can then look up the word and learn to answer it correctly (and probably will never forget that one!) or can bluff her way through.

Hanssen tried the latter. Back came some quips such as 'No, try once more.' 'Better study more, try this (and then it lists some prefixes as a hint)'. Finally he types in the correct word and one can almost imagine a sigh of relief from this new friend when the answer comes, 'Good, Keith, you are doing great.' 'Good show'. Another word is tried. The answer comes back, 'Right. Hope it was the first time.'

Then there are other encouraging comments as the quiz proceeds: 'Right, that should have been easy.

Move on,' 'Keep it up, you are ready for the next one,' 'Right!!! What a brain!' At the end of all the questions: '0 K, Keith, your score is 17 out of 18 for . a percentage of

NOW HEAR THIS -Keith Hanssen, director of the Instructional Media Center, holds a headset for the audio controlled slides area.

94.4444445. Now you can sign off.

Cheerio . Cheerio. Cheerio . The end for Keith Hanssen.'

This procedure with computers is called Reactive Learning or Interaction . Instructors with no computer experience can work out entire lessons and questions, teach, do administrative work, and even a grade analysis on complete courses taken from the above for entire classes. Teachers can study the transcript which the computer also files , on each student, spot any troubles the student may be having and work to eliminate them.

Following the demonstration on these amazing c.omputers, Hanssen described the answer to our question at the beginning of this article. In a small overcrowded room were many shelves of video tapes of all descriptions. Here also are the controls for the video-audjo transfer from this Center out to all the classrooms on campus.

By tomorrow any video tapes required for instruction may be

viewed on TV screens by the students. Teachers need only request a particular tape, state in which classroom and at what time.

At the given moment, the operator in the Center will plug in the connection to the room and the video-tape which has been inserted will begin to roll.

The Center can pipe five different programs at one time into classrooms . They can also tune into any regular TV programs which we can get on our home TV sets, through Times-Mirror Cable Co. which serves our campus. Channel 15 offers excellent viewing in educational TV! 'It is obvious computers are rapidly taking over on our campus," says Hanssen . "Thus our facilities are bursting at the seams. So , our students who can go to their classes AND watch TV at the same time, can see why our rapid advancement and great progress have made Palomar Community College tops in its class."

Computer expands library research, services

By Doris L. Garlick Telescope readers have witnessed interviews with many interesting people on campus. These thumbnail sketches recognize those individuals who have been merely faces in a crowd or just another instructor standing in front of the room trying to teach something new. They became real people.

Today's interviewee would be terribly flattered to be considered "real people." Very friendly as well as polite, OCLC, whom we will call "Elsie" for brevity, is a new computer in Palomar Library. OCLC stands for Ohio College Library Cooperative, a non-profit corpor¡a tion chartered in the state of Ohio in 1967.

Alexis Ciurczak, one of our librarians, thought our readers might like to know about the vast information pool available to us and over 2,000 other libraries in the country, including the Library of Congress. All use the same coding system set up by this congressional library in Washington, D.C. She introduced Jody Laurentzius who is one of the operators of OCLC. Jody was asked to demonstrate and tell the story of "Elsie". Others in this office who are trained to operate the computer are: Virginia Beresford, RoseAnna Vogel, and Jean Yep. Each operator has her own special identification code number.

Jody typed in hers on the keyboard, called the "terminal".

While we waited a moment or two she described what was going on.

That code number was travelling via telephone tie-in over 2,000 miles to the Columbus , Ohio Center.

Very quickly there flashed on the CRT Screen , a friendly greeting, "Hello, Jody." Before she could give them her request. "Elsie" filled the

screen with newsy chit-chat such as: The Center would be closed on Columbus Day, and the cards we had ordered for our card catalog were being sent to us by U.P.S. on October 1, 2, and 3rd. Her message complete, she politely waited for Jody's request.

A very thick new book had arrived, The Arbor House Treasury of Modern Science Fiction, which is an anthology, a collection of various artieles , but showing only the compiler's name. Jody ¡ asked for the record of that book by typing in only two or three first letters in each word in the title of the book.

Soon "Elsie" filled the entire screen with information about the book, such as , the class number used by the Library of Congress, when published, by whom, copyright and date , where available , how much it costs there, total number of pages, etc. Jody carefully verified the latter to be certain they were both talking about the same book.

"Elsie" also mentioned this was only one of two pages, so Jody "asked" for the next page by pressing a certain key. Here appeared the names of the authors she'd requested. When she made note ofthis she then asked to go back to page

one, and it promptly reappeared on the screen. When she had noted all the information she needed, she then provided the Center with additional information , such as , our price locally, for their record. "Elsie" replied, "Record produced." They will also tell us when and why they cannot provide certain information we have requested, if it is necessary.

Jody tapped a key indicating "End", meaning she had no further requests. The screen promptly emptied itself. But it was not a cold departure. There on the vast blank screen, politely appeared in the usual luminous green, a friendly "Good Bye." "Elsie" is not only very helpful, but very nice to know .

There are over two million items in that Data Bank shared locally by such institutions as UCSD, Scripps, SDSU. Some have several terminals; we have only one.

It takes a lot of study and training to be able to operate "Elsie". Jody studied all summer long to learn just the vocabulary - similar to an entirely new language. They were given detailed basic reading material to study about the equipment, history, purpose, and what it will do fo.r us. Then a representative from Los Angeles came to the Library and trained them on the machine.

This service is' backed by over two million items in the Data Bank and is steadily growing. Members feed new information into the Center and this in tum becomes available to all members. A fee is charged for information requested.

As member libraries gradually change from the Dewey-Decimal system of cataloging to the system used by the Library of Congress, the Data Center provides all information needed , as well as the completed TETE A TETE- Jody Laurentius confers with 'Elsie', the OCLC replacement cards for the catalog. computer in the Library, gathering vital information from the Data They print 2.2 million cards a week, (Photo by Richard Schatzman) including one Control card for every Center in Ohio.

catalog card, to fill all orders, or 527,000 cards a day.

The reclassification project on our campus is a huge one. We have 116,000 books at present and Jody says it will take four or five years to complete them all. 90-100,000 books on our campus are now in the process. This includes our Fine Arts Library. As new books become available they will automatically be classified in the new system prior to reaching the shelves.

As information is recorded on each book, present and future, it is also being recorded on a tape. When Palomar completes all their reclassification process, this tape will expand their capabilities and the information will be used for circulation and for inter-library loans. The CRT screen will show where any book may be found among its participating members anywhere in our nation.

Jody says our library hopes eventually to obtain a printer compatible with "Elsie" which we can use to print our own labels for the books being cataloged .

Could we possibly be matchmaking for "Elsie"?

Art Gallery ltas new sltow The Dwight Boehm Gallery will be showing a new display beginning November 17. If you have not seen The Black and Gray Show, it continues until November 14.

Wrestlers begin season; host Chaffey tonight John Woods begins his eighth year as wrestling coach tonight when the Comets host Chaffey at 7:30 p.m. With an overall coaching record of 103-9-1 at Palomar he has an impressive record to live up to.

Fortunately Woods seems to have enough talent on his new team to maintain his respectability as an outstanding coach. Veteran Kerry Hiatt, ranked second in the state last season at 167 pounds and a strong group of newcomers make Coach Woods optimisic.

"There have been years when we've had more outstanding individuals but this team could have the best depth and balance we've ever had. A lot will depend on attitude and team unity; two things that enabled us to do better a year ago than we ever should have."

place third "It was one oft.he best team efforts I've seen," said women's cross country coach Mike Curran after the team placed third in the Mission Championships last Friday.

The women advance to the Southern California Finals at Griffith Park in Los Angeles today. If they finish in the top five there they will participate in the state finals on November 22.

The top Comet finisher was Hilda Mata who placed twelfth with a time of 21:13 in the three mile course.

Other Palomar women who placed were: Pat McNary who was sixteenth with a time of 22:07, Linda W asilew who was seventeenth in 22:12, Stacy Panno who placed nineteenth with a time of 22:17, and Rhonda Wakefield who was twentieth in 22:22 in a field of70runners.

The men's team fared poorly finishing tenth place and will not compete in the playoffs. An outstanding individual performance was turned in by Mark Smith who finished ninth in a time of 22:47 in the four mile course. Because he finished in the top ten Smith will travel to the Southern California Finals and compete as an individual today.

Curran has high hopes for the women's team. "We beat Riverside in the Mission Conference Championships and they had beaten us twice before. In the beginning of the season it didn't look like we had a prayer but now who knows?"
