ASG president, VP reprimanded

over Dean's

by Dr. Scheidt

downgrading

By Lois Humphreys Associated Student Government president William Nelson and vicepresident Jim Tucker have received letters of reprimand from college president Dr. Omar Scheidt, stemming from their deportment during a January 21 basketball game against San Diego City College. Nelson and Tucker were under investigation for alleged ''rowdy behavior" and using obscene language at the game. In addition, Nelson is required to write letters of apology to Kevin Cloherty, sports information director, and coaches Jon Cnossen and Andy Gilmore. As of March 19, Cnossen had not received his letter. Cloherty and Gilmore could not be reached to see if they had received theirs. Concerning his letter of reprimand, vice-president Tucker stated, "I'm hoping to see the whole situation die out. I hope the other parties will be willing to let it go too. I would like to see the ASG get going on a positive note." President William Nelson refused to comment on the letter. Kevin Cloherty said "My feelings are that I want to wrap it up. Realistically, some administrative decision needed to be taken, so I guess a letter of reprimand was best. Hopefully, this situation won't happen again." Coach Jon Cnossen's only comment about the letter was, "That's nice." Cnossen also confirmed that he had not received a letter of apology from Nelson as of last Friday. Tucker had written letters of apology previously to coaches Cnossen and Gilmore and to Cloherty.

Associated Student Government board mem hers held a special meeting Friday to discuss the possible demoting of the Dean of Student Activities position to one of a directorship. The proposal to reduce the position was made by the faculty Senate to the Governing Board of Trustees in a March 10 meeting. The proposal included a thirty percent reduction in the salary. The position was taken over by Frank Hankin approximately a year and a half ago, and was originally decided to be in an "acting" capacity. A few months ago it was decided to confirm the position as permanent, and the college was required to open the position to the public. About 170 applicants, including Hankin applied for the job. At the last Governing Board meeting on March 10 the faculty Senate once again questioned the permanence of the deanship. The Board decided to wait until the March 24 meeting to make a decisiOn. ASG mem hers expressed great concern over the reduction in the position for many reasons. One mem her stated that Dean Hankin is actually responsible for more than stated in his job description, and that his work load is more than any of the other employees at director levels. Perhaps the most critical reason, according to ASG president William Nelson, is that the students and student organizliltions would no longer have "any direct input on the Dean level." The Deans report directly to the president of the college, Dr Omar Scheidt, Nelson explained, and therefore, the student activities needs may be ignored without Dean-level representation. Another ASG member, Michelle Morey, stated that Dr. Scheidt was supportive of the Dean of Student Activities position. ASG mem hers discussed gaining support from clubs and other student organizations on campus, and that the ASG would be, according to Nelson, ''ready to present our side" by the March 24 Board of Trustees me{'tin~.

March 30 Bobby Shew, a trumpeter who bridges the generation between the "big band era" and modern jazz, will play in concert with the Palomar College jazz band directed by Robert Gilson March 30 at 8 p.m. in the Palomar College Theatre. Cal State Northridge College will bring a jazz band and share the first half of the program with Palomar's band. Among the featured performers will be lead alto sax player Miles Osland who graduated from Escondido High School and is a former Palomar music student. Shew began his professional career playing in the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra and later in the Woody Herman Band . Shortlythereafterhe became traveling lead player with Della Reese, Robert Goulet, Paul Anka, Tom Jones and Steve Allen. After a period of some years in Las Vegas , Bobby Shew moved to Los Angeles, mainly to get backintojazz playing proper, as opposed to the lead playing for which he is so well known. Since this move, he has played with such stellar jazz groups as the Bud Shank Quintet, Art Pepper, Frank Strazzeri, Chuck Flores, and Barry Sweig Five, in addition to the formation of his own group, the Bobby Shew Quintet. He has also been involved as the lead player for the big bands of Toshiko-Tabackin, Louis Bellson, Ed Shaughnessy, Terry Gibbs, Frank Capp-Nat Pierce, Don Menza, Neal Hefti, Billy Berry, Buddy Rich and the late Oliver Nelson. In addition to recording, TV shows, and films and albums, Bobby Shew has had roles in several films, including "The Louis Armstrong Story" and "A Star is Born", for which he also did the majority of the horn arrangements for the movie sound track. The 25-pieee Palomar College jazz band will tour northern California in April, and will participate in the Pacific Coast Jazz Festival at the University of California Berkeley. The program on March 30, as well as serving as a preparation for this tour, will reflect Shew's involvement in the music of the "big band era." Tickets are $3, available from the Palomar College Theatre box office, 744-8860, 2-5 p.m. each weekday; advanced reservations are recommended. For further information, please call the Music Department at 744-1150 or 727-7529, extension 349.

Help Center dispute settled A dispute over the allocation of the rooms around the Student Center seems to have been settled in a special meeting called by the ASG last Friday. At the center of the controversy stood director of the Student Help Center, Karl Waack, against the ASG. Waack was angry over the ASG's proposal to take away one of the Help Center's rooms, giving it to Share, and educational tutoring service on campus. "It was not only an unfair move, it was a move against policy" claims Waack. "The ASG controls the rooms around the Student Center and is supposed to use those rooms for student services and clubs which belong to the ASG, which the Help Center does and Share does not." In a special meeting called by the ASGon Friday, an abstention by the chairman following a 4-4 vote killed the motion.
