Graduate outlook gloomy

Reagan proposes aid cuts

If you are one of the nearly 1.3 million students who will graduate in 1982, you can expect a "boom or bust" year according to a report by U.S. News.

Employment experts have stated that for graduates in highly technical and energy related fields jobs will be plentiful, but not so for those in liberal arts and the humanities.

The greatest demand will be for those with degrees in computer science, chemical and electrical engineering, and some business fields. Pay in these fields will start approximately 15 percent higher than last year.

"The high rollers this year will be in energy, electronics, and aerospace," says Tom Messick, careerplacement director at Montana State University.

Rockwell International is planning to hire 1,000 graduates for its space, aircraft and defenseelectronics operations in Southern California, nearly double last year's quota. They will be offering salaries 10 percent over last year. Boeing Corporation indicates that only electrical engineers and computer scientists will be hired with salaries beginning up from last year's $22,000 figure .

Amoco Production Company based in Denver plans to hire about 85 engineering graduates, about the same as last year. General Electric will be hiring graduates with electronics and electrical engineering degrees specializing in communications and computer software.

For those who have obtained degrees in the business field, they may find themselves competing for fewer jobs. Accounting still is in demand, according to Robert N. Mills, General Electric's chief recruiter.

Starting salaries will range from $15,000 to $18,000 for those with Bachelor's degrees and upwards of $30,000 for MBA's.

The Liberal Art majors employment picture seems pretty bleak, as many employers report little interest in nontechnical personnel. Jobs in the government will also be fewer this year with big budget cuts.

"Teachers remain in oversupply in fields such as elementary education and the humanities," says Walter M. Snyder, personnel director for Baltimore County Schools.

But those with certifications in math, physics, science and computers seem to be in a greater demand.

$1.5 billion will be cut by the Reagan Administration, eliminating money for three programs and forcing graduate students out of the Guaranteed Student Loan program, college groups said.

According to Pat Smith of the Council on Education, under graduates would be forced to pay a 10 percent fee for Guaranteed Student Loans, and the interest rate on their loans would jump from nine percent to market rates, currently exceeding 19 percent, two years after they begin repayment.

Officials of the council and the other college groups said the Education Department had privately confirmed to them that President Reagan will propose the cuts in the fiscal 1983 budget he sends to congress today.

James W. Moore,the department's director of the postsecondary financial aid, confirmed that the Guaranteed Student Loan changes, include the dismantling of grants to students, were under consideration.

But he said he did not know whether White House budget officials have approved them.

A dozen education groups calling themselves The Action Committee for Higher Education scheduled a news conference to launch a drive to defeat the proposals.

Targeted for funding elimination in the 1983 Reagan budget proposal are $278 million Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant program the $179 million National Direct Student Loans and the $74 million State Student Incentive Grants, the college group said.

The 2.3 billion Pell Grant program (formally called Basic Grants) would be cut to $1.4 billion, which would eliminate grants to one million students in families with incomes higher than $14,000 in the 1983-84 college year, according to Smith.

In addition ,the $528 million Work Study program would be trimmed to $400 million, she said.

The maximum Pell Grant also will be cut from $18,000 to $14,000 under the Reagan Plan.

In addition to the 1 million students who would be forced out of the Peel Grant Program, more than a million would lose some other forms of aid, including 615,000 who get supplemental grants, 300,000 who benefit from the state incentive grants and 266,000 who get the five percent National Direct Student Loans.

Last year the Reagan Administration imposed a five percent origination fee on the Guaranteed Student wans and required students from families with income above $30,000 to take a ''need" test to qualify for the loans.

Social security benefits available Students between the ages of 18 and 22 may be eligible for social security benefits earned by a retired, disabled or deceased parent or grandparent.

By the May 1 deadline, a student must be enrolled in a college or university full time to take advantage of this program.

Students already receiving Social Security benefits under this program will have these monies continue until age 22 if they maintain full time student status.

A student may attend college while still in high school with the consent of a high school counselor.

Those who qualify should contact a Financial Aids counselor here.

Library's 'Talking Books' speak to physically disabled Something new has been added to Palomar's library collection- "Talking Books"!

Talking books are current fiction and non-fiction books read aloud and recorded on cassette tapes for the blind and physically handicapped who cannot use conventional ink print format books.

A selection of 130 of these cassette tape books will be kept at the main library circulation desk for the use of those eligible to use them.

The cassettes must be played on a special tape player designed for four track tapes and the modified, slower speed of Talking Books. Ordinary cassette players process tape at P/s i.p.s. (inches per second). But the special player for the handicapped operates at 15/ 16 i.p.s., and has a variable speed capacity to speed up narration of the text. At high speed the narrator sounds like Donald Duck!

These special Talking Books are recorded for the blind by the Library of Congress, Division for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. They are distributed free to qualified, registered borrowers, usually by mail. There are book catalogs to order books.

However, "Talking Book Topics" a monthly catalog is mailed to a blind reader's home. It consists of a thin plastic recording describing the new books and an order form . When orders are sent to the distributing library, Braille Institute in Los Angeles for Southern California, the books are mailed out to the reader.

The purpose of this special collection is to augment that home service for Palomar's disabled students by providing a "browsing" collection here for their immediate use .

While Palomar's Talking Books cannot be circulated to unqualified users, the library will allow those interested to examine the player and

mailer boxes so that the services become known by more people. Just ask for a demonstration at the Circulation Desk.

For family members or friends who have difficulty reading regular size print books, the Palomar library has a collection of large type books.

There are 130 fiction and non-fiction books available for patrons' use.

This Large Type collection includes: mystery, humor, westerns, biography, typing and cook books.

A bibliography of this collection has just been prepared in large type.

It is shelved with the Large Type collection of books near the circulation desk edition of the "Reader's Digest" which can be borrowed from the Periodical Department.

SD Music Ensemble plays at campus lab Performing music of the sixteenth and seventeeth century the Early Music Ensemble of San Diego will play during the concert Hour Series.

SDS fall deadline nears Undergraduate applications for the fall 1982 semester at San Diego State University will close March 21 in an effort to keep enrollment within the campus' budgeted level.

This is the latest in a series of decisions to try to control the campus enrollment following budget cutbacks ordered by Gov. Brown and after com plaints of crowding on the campus.

Applications from educationally disadvantaged students applying through the educational opportunity program to lower division study

will still be considered after the March 21 cutoff date, and graduate student applications also are not affected.

The university's satellite campuses in the Imperial Valley and in Vista also are excluded from the closing deadline, which is one of the earliest in recent years.

Applications already presented at the campus will not be affected, and applications received at the campus admissions office by 4 p.m. on March 19, or postmarked by midnightofMarch21, will be processed.

Final test date soon The semester's final opportunity to take the Reading Proficiency Test will be Thursday, March 18.

This is the last opportunity to take the thirty-minute, multiple choice test on reading skills.

The test helps students discover their reading strengths and weaknesses, and the results are confidential.

Baseballers start fast; win 5 of6

By Mike Pedretti Off to their best start in five years, the Palomar baseball team captured third place in the Imperial Valley Tournament, February 18-20.

The Comets took victories from Arizona Western 11-7 and Victor Valley 10-1, but lost their first game of the season to Grossmont College in the championship semi-finals.

In 1977, Palomar's baseball team, which advanced to the state junior college tournament, also began the year by winning five of six decisions.

Playing "our best game of the year," according to coach Bob Vetter, the locals used another patented ninth-inning rally to overtake Arizona in the tourney opener.

Trailing 7-6 entering the final frame, the Comets scored five runs highlighted by a squeeze bunt and a bases loaded walk.

Tommy Davis drove in the tying run with a perfect bunt down the third base line. Mike Vladika walked with the bases full to force in what turned out to be the winning run.

John Grygera, Mark Matson, Troy Afenir, and Steve Afenir all hit safely in the Palomar ninth. Matson drove in two runs with a single, while T. Afenir, who had slugged his third homer of the season in the sixth inning, batted in the final run with a single to left.

"We had some clutch execution offensively," said Vetter. "Especially in the ninth, Davis' squeeze and Matson's hit were big keys."

Sophomore righthander Russ Applegate started on the hill for the Comets and pitched six innings of shutout ball. He eventually tired, surrendered six runs in the seventh, and departed after walking the leadoff batter in the eighth.

Mike Stengel came in on relief and picked up the win.

The Comets drove Arizona's ace Steve Stout, a draft pick of the Cincinnati Reds, from the game in the sixth inning in spotting Applegate a 6-0 lead.

The Matadors struck back to go on top by one, but that only set the

stage for another classic Palomar comeback.

In the final inning of their six games, the locals have outscored the opponents 24-2, and when Stengel finally retired the side in the ninth, Vetter's squad had earned its fourth victory without a defeat.

The streak came to an end, however, when they fell to Grossmont.

The highlight of the game was the performance of pitcher Mike Cordry, who threw six strong innings in relief of starter Joey Koran.

"Mike threw the ball very well ," said Vetter. " He gave them all kinds of problems and was probably the most pleasant surprise of the tournament."

Chip Hayes and Matson led the Comets at the plate with two hits apiece. Matson doubled and singled, while Hayes singled twice and drove m Palomar's sole run.

1452 points, compared to 1406 for Mt. SAC's men's team. Mt. SAC's Robert Lazur was high scorer with 525 points, but Palomar's Rick Betts and Guy Roy tied for second with 486.

The win was the first of the year for the men, who had previously lost two in a row. "They have shown a lot of improvement as of late," said coach Ayers.

In mixed competition, the Comets proved themselves superior to Mt. SAC, with a 1918-1818 win.

Coach Ayers is hoping for a repeat of the success of the 1981 team. Last year the men's and mixed teams won the United States National Invitational Collegiate Championship competing against twoyear colleges. The women took second in the finals.

The Comets hit their mark in the 1981 Southwest Regionals, where, competing against two and fouryears schools, they won the chamTAKE THAT pionship.

With an impressive weekend in San Francisco, tennis coach Nan Haugen's women stretched their record to 5-0-1 overall (2-0 in league), despite playing three fouryear schools in three days.

"But then I settled down and worked my fastball around. Troy (catcher Afenir) called a real good game, which helped me a lot too."

The freshman lefthander from Orange Glen High pitched hitless ball over the last four innings. He retired 12 of the last 14 batters to face him, including the last nine.

The Comets continue Mission Conference play tomorrow when they travel to San Bernardino for a 2:30 game.

Haugen's heroes tough in league

ready for league play Starting the season on target, the archery team defeated Mount San Antonio College Febrary 23. With the win the Comets are 1-0 in conference action.

Setting the pace was the women's team, outscoring Mt. SAC, 1401 to 1238. Ann Betts and Margie Press tied for high scoring honors with 473 points each. Palomar completed its sweep of top scorers as Kitty Wiebe was third with 455.

"I don't see any women's team in the conference that comes close to ours," commented coach Mildred Ayers. "We should have little trouble reaching the regionals. It will be much tougher there because Pima College in Tucson, Arizona, will no doubt be present. They always produce excellent archers."

Counting non-conference matches, the women are undefeated in 1982 with a 3-0 record.

The men's match was somewhat closer, but the outcome was the same as Palomar pierced the paper for

with breaking balls and went the distance to take the win.

A sensational pitching exhibition Saturday by Carl Grovom enabled the Comets to rout Victor Valley.

Grovom turned in his second straight impressive performance in going the route, allowing only three Ram hits.

"I struggled ali ttle the first couple innings," said Grovom, who became the first Palomar hurler to throw a complete game this year.

Coach Bob Lusky's golfers placed a strong third in a Mission Conference tournament March 1 at San Dimas Country Club.

The tourney, hosted by Citrus College was played in the rain.

"Even though the weather was poor, we got some good performances by a couple of our golfers and the team did pretty well," said Lusky.

Don Whitlow paced Palomar with a 77 and John Marino had an 80.

Dave Oas and Bob Parker were next for the locals at 81, while Don McBride fired an 84 and Kris Murphy an 87.

Saddleback won the seven team tournament with a six man total of 396. Citrus was second at 400, three strokes ahead of the Comets.

Citrus' Neil Lhlinger and Saddleback's Fred Bills tied for the low medalist honors with 76's.

Following the top three teams were San Bernardino, Riverside, and College ofthe Desert, tied at 412, and San Diego City at 413. Chaffey did not field a team.

The Comets will participate in the non-league SDCC tournament at Coronado Friday.

The "half' resulted from a tie with San Francisco University which was called because of darkness . But that was the only "setback" for the Comets as they ripped Mills College ¡ 6-1 and St. Mary's 7-2.

"I thought this weekend would be really tough, but everything turned out," said Haugen about all the tennis sandwiched between 18 hours on the road.

"We rotated everybody so no one was exhausted, and everyone got to play."

The women opened conference play earlier this month in fine fashion, easily disposing of San Bernardino and Southwestern by identical 9-0 scores against S.F. sophomores. Sherrie Harris led the way at the number one singles position, dispatching Linda Gyuling, 6-3, 6-3. D.D. Mercer decisioned Cheryl Sename 6-0,6-4, while Kathy Johnson defeated Anna Marie Erpen 5-7, 6-2, 6-2. Lori Dowdy was taken to three sets against Lisa Starnes, but prevailed 5-7, 6-4, 6-1.

She then teamed with Bonnie Bradshaw to split sets for the halfpoint just before dark. Terri Miller, Johnson, and Harris easily defeated an outmanned Mills team, each picking up early singles points.

In doubles it was Harris again teaming up with Mercer to slip past their opponents 6-2,6-3, while Kathy Orahood and Rainy Nicolas took two sets easily, 6-1, 6-2.

To complete the scoring Bradshaw and Nicci Meyer beat their opponents 6-1, 6-3.

Haugen had nothing but praise for Harris saying, "She is a natural, one of the best I've ever had."

The coach was quick to emphasize, however, that the success so far has "definitely been a team effort. I really can't pick out just one person." Haugen also feels that to win the league, the women must be in shape, and must play together as a team.

"We do everything together, when we're on the road. We even eat together and that makes a lot of difference in cohesion. It's a team sport."

Traffic woes slowed; lack of unity cited

By Ken Baer Traffic problems here at th e co llege ca n easily be attributed to the lack of cooperation between the city of San Marcos and Palomar administrators.

It is blatantly obvious that San Marcos would rather not have a community college within its city limits , with statements by city manager Henry Ford and the city 's Chamber of Commmerce's Jeri Brennenan concluding that Palomar is not beneficial to the city in dollar terms.

It was suggested to Ford that if perhaps all students, staff and faculty at Palomar joined together to boycott all San Marcos businesses, from restaurant s to gas stations, supermarkets to furniture showrooms, maybe then the city would become aware of the true value of Palomar .

Ford a nswered that he would appreciate such a boycott, for it would prove to him that Palomar is an asset. The Chamber of Commerce felt that a boycott "would be effective but, of course , could not condone it. " A year ago, Palomar drew up an "operational plan" to combat early mo rnin g traffic by allowing vehicles to enter the campus' exit during a specified time each day, a nd sought approval by th e city's Traffic Safety Board. The Board shot down the proposa 1 4-1.

Such a refusal is proof that decisions appear to be made to spite the bett erment of Palomar.

What must area residents feel? Certainly they can not appreciate decisions which hamper their abi lit y to easi ly drive in and out of San Marcos .

Currently, Palomar funds which were to be added to the city's1 .7 million (a total of4.5

million is proj ected to complete the traffic improve me nt plan ) have bee n frozen by the state, accordin g to what Palomar president Dr. Omar Sche idt has told city manager Ford .

If and when thes e funds become readil y available, it would be in th e coll ege's bes t interest (especia11y the students) to have th e m all ocated specifically towards the con s truction of a second campus entrance.

This second e ntrance, which will a11ow vehicles to ente r and exit parking lot #12 (ca pacity: 2100 ve hicl es) via Las Posas Road , is to be fund ed by developers of a major housing plan w est of the co11ege.

Last week th e San Marcos city coun cil adopted the plan for 4000 hom es to be constructed by a number of landowners.

Pending approval of each landowner's developing plan s by the co uncil , construction will eventually beg in on Pal o mar's second e ntranc e.

How ever , on e such landowner, MitsuiFuda s m (USA) Inc., doesn 't expect to begin th e ir projec t until We can not wait anothe r three years for a solution to the traffic. Although most students will have moved on from Palomar by then, it is of the upmost importance that Pa Iemar advocates demand action and push for projects that wi11 benefit the college.

By simply resigning themselves to bad situations, as San Marcos continues to neglect Palomar in its "pi ecem eal" style of designing the city 's master plan, college representatives are not holding up to expectations of an institute of higher lear ning.

Cooperation on the part of San Ma rcos and Palomar must come, th e soon er th e better.

Involved workers key to Japanese industry Robert E. Lent, Business Education ir1struclor, reviews a book by William Ocili , How American Business Can M eet tile japanese Cilallenge, AddisonWesley, Menlo Park, CA, 198 1.

The author, a Stanford graduate and Professor of Management at UCLA , maintains that it is a consensual, participatory style of management which has helped to make Japanese industry so astonishingly productive.

Taking off where the Ia te Douglas McGregor's Theory X and Theory Y left off, Ochi holds to the theory that happy involved workers are the key to enhanced productivity. In getting from type A (the American benevolent autocratic manager or the benign paternalistic leader) to the Type Z participatory organization, management must invite discussion of ideas.

"Resist interpreting skepticism as foot dragging, lack of cooperation and the lik e; or the skeptics wi11 conceal their doubts and thus never go beyond them. And because in most companies the skeptics outnumber the true believers, their reservations must be openly debated for change to occur."

Ochi goes on to state what this writer feels is most applicable to Palomar Co11ege, and that is " A second and more fundamental reason to invite skepticism has to do with the development of trust. Trust consists of the understanding that we share fundamenta11y compatible goals in the long run, and thus we have reason to trust one another.

"In the process of organizational change

the nature of these goals becomes am biguous .. . but how to believably establish this basis of trust? In my (Ochi's) experience, the clearest evidence is complete openness and candor in a relationship. One who seeks to conceal nothing from me is one who, in all likelihood, does not seek to harm me .. .

"The leader who frankly disagrees with others and who goes out of his way to create an atmosphere where differing opinions are welcome will produce change ... openness does not mean hostility, nor does it mean sweetness and light. Openness values a realistic appraisal of both problems and achievements ... " When a boss ca11s for frankness, the openness that subordinates care about most is forthrightness in discussing their performance, their pay, their future prospects.

This most basic form of candor precedes all others. " This is just the first step in preceding to what Ochi sees as a more productive organization, and you will have to read his book to get the others. But, it does ring a bell. It's not just the business organization to which Ochi's theories apply; the book came about bee a use of the atmosphere of ere a tivity and of support that surrounded him when he arrived at UCLA. Only $12 .95, it should be required reading for a11 administrators, faculty disguised as administrators and even a few classroom ins true tors.

Historians seek perspectives through'Story of Civilization'

By Connie Harris Keeping life in its proper perspective will assist a person toward success and mental well-being.

However, acquiring this perspective requires an understanding of man's past history, such as presented by Will and Ariel Durant in " The Story of Civili za+-' .Ion. II

The recent deaths of the Durants is a grievous loss to mankind and, ironically, they came only a few weeks apart. Will was never consciously aware that Ariel had died when his death came a few weeks later.

This couple was unique in every way . An often-told anecdote is that when Ariel was 15 and Will was 29, she rollerskated to New York City Hall to go through a wedding ceremony with him.

Their relationship was "love at first sight" and, indeed, they had a most remarkable marital union, which reached a pinnacle when both were awarded a Pulitizer Prize for literature in 1968.

The materia l contained in these history books is not nearly so formidable as the size and number of the volumes. It reads something like science fiction , or a map through the" terra incognita" of the collective unconscious.

An example of style is this analytic exerpt from "Our Oriental Heritage," the first volume of " The Story of Civilization," completed by Will in 1935. He said, " The highest civility has never loved hot zones.

Wherever snow falls there is usually civil freedom." True, look where the concept of democracy originated.

One must marvel at how the Durants could have been so far ahead of the times in their analysis of man's past related to present and future. This is the stuff of good topics for quiet (or not so quiet) discussion groups.

For example, to be hashed over is the following concept which throws a somewhat unusual light on the subject of war. Durant wrote " How did war lead to the state? For the most part war was the favorite instrument of natural selection among primitive nations and groups. Its results were endless . It acted as a ruthless eliminator of weak peoples, and raised the level of the race in courage, violence, cruelty, intelligence and skill. It stimulated invention, made weapons that became useful tools, and arts of war that became arts of peace ."

For all its misery it is obvious that war does lend the force to a sky-rocketing of knowledge. For example, World War II

resulted in explosive technological and scientific breakthroughs . A11 rational men, however, will agree that future breakthroughs in knowledge can now be accomplished by peaceful means, such as with space exploration .

Here are a few insights of the Durants that business people might find interesting: "The world capital derived from the Latin, 'caput,' meaning head- i.e., of cattle ... .

Many centuries passed after man began trading before a circulating median of value was introduced to expand trade ....

Among Indians two elk teeth equalled one pony and eight ponies equalled a wife . ... A metalic currency and credit simplified exchange of surpluses in increasing the wealth of men .... " Some admirers of the Durants and "The Story of Civilization" consider that Will Durant was relegated to the scrapheap by fe11ow scholars of that time when he wrote his popular books on history. But Durant co nsidered that the halls of learning were not reserved for the " inner circle." His contention was that wisdom is for those who use it to help others .

Referring to the struggle between the two philosophies of capitalism and communism, Durant said, " Communism brought a certain security, whereas individualism brought wealth. But it brought also, insecurity and slavery. It stimulated the latent powers of superior men and made men feel bitterly a poverty which, when all shared it alike, had seemed to oppress none ."

Probably if it hadn't been for " keeping up with the Joneses" this civilization never would have risen from the mud!

In the spirit of Will and Ariel Durant, we should all be building and expanding on the the knowledge available to us here on this campus. Life is much more exciting when one has learned to understand, analyze and apply data .

The Telescope, Wednesday, March 10, 1982

Banning guns costly, but life is not cheap Jeff is a typical seven year old boy, full of life and not a problem in the world, at least none he knows about.

One day Jeff had a friend over at his house to play when Jeff showed his friend his dad's hand gun that was kept in th e dresser drawer in the bedroom . He was told never to touch it, but friends have a way of convincing you to do things.

What was to be, as his friend suggested, an innocent game of "Cops and Robbers" turned out to be too real: Jeff playing the role as the robber tried to get away after robbing a bank, Jeff's friend catching him in the middle of the act, raised the g un and pulled the trigger.

Jeff never saw his eighth birthday.

The scene just described is fiction, or is it?

The incident above takes place all across the United States. In New York and Los Angeles as well as small towns like Carlsbad or Escondido.

But mention gun control and people start screaming over and over again like a broken record, "Guns don't kill people, people kill people! " If guns don't kill people, than how do they die? Do the bullets come out of their fingers? Not hardly.

FACT: In 1979, 32,000 lives were lost due

,

to hand guns. 1,733 in New York alone.

FACT:In 1981 there were 225,000 firearms reported stolen, 210,000 of these were stolen from private individuals.

FACT: Last year 77% of all the people who were murdered were not the victims of felonious assaults, 52% were killed by a family member or an acquaintance, the socalled crimes of passion.

Many of these deaths could have been prevented if handguns were banned .

FACTA Pennsylvania study conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms confirmed that 50-80% of all criminally used firearms were stolen property.

How long will it be until the American people say "ENOUGH!?" True the United States Constitution guarantees us our right to possess firearms, but this was written in the 1780' s. Times have changed. We no longer wear white whigs or cross the country by horses. The Constitution must change like the times do.

But yet guns don' t kill people, people kill people.

Banning all handguns will be expensive and timely. But how do you figure the cost of losing John Lennon or just one child like Jeff? For that fact, any life?

The time to act is now!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Students feel ASG cuts Editor: In August, 1981 the Student Government hired three people to man the Student H elp Center with the understanding that they would work two semesters. With the director, this made four people work in g there. One employee did not do his job and was fired. For awhile there were three employees until Karl Waack, th e director quit because of disagreements with th e student government and Dean Norman Price.

Then there were two, plus a part time paid employee at night. Carol Hanley was asked to take over the directorship until so meone could be officially made director. Carol didn' t want the directorship becau se she felt Michael Lesher, the other empl oyeeJ would have more time to devote to th e jo b. The ASG never decided ori a director even though Carol asked them repeatedly to do so.

Then came the ax. The ASG at Dean Price's suggestion decided that the Student Help Center was using too many hours.

Somewhere he got a number of hours which was twice the hours the Help Center was actually using. No matter, the SHC was cut.

One employee had to go.

Carol decided that since she couldn't be there all the time, she should go, eve n though she has to have a job to finish this semester and get her A.A.

The reason given for the cut was that the ASG was co ming up $3000 short. However, the SHG was living within their budget.

Someplace in the ASG organization someone goo fed.

Mike and Caro l accepted these jobs in good faith. They cou ld not ant icip ate that they wou ld have to run the SHC by th e mse lv es. Things were going well even though th ey were not prepared to undertake th e mon um e nta l task of running the Book Swap, which in creased thi s year by about one third. They ha ndl ed alm ost 1200 books with two part time helpers and Karl, w ho volunteered some tim e.

Question: Why did th e ASG need four people in September and decide in Febr uary th at they o nly need one?

Mike and Caro l knew they cou ld run the office with two full tim e people plus a n eigh t hour a week emp loyee for nights. They had cut the expe nditures down to alm ost half of what they were. Not on ly that, but they volunteered many ho urs during the Book Swap.

I g uess it does n't rna tter though. Someone has to pay for th e ASG's loss of $3000 and it sure isn't go ing to be th e Mayfair or a ny of th e ASG's pet projects, so I guess it has to be the students who are trying to work to get themselvl~ s thro ug h sc hool.

Block Flog kills critics with debut album

By Mike Pedretti Despite the fact that it is now trendy among rock critics to claim that punk music is dead, punk is very much in full force today .

Sid Vicious overdosed, the New York Dolls are no more, the Ramones have changed their musical style, and Johnny Rotten/Lydon is singing ska. But X, The Cramps, and Black Flag have filled the gap and are now the cream of the " crop" in punk.

The heavily critically acclaimed X, with its unique, hard driving punk-rockabilly sound, headed by the husband and wife team of Exene and John Doe, is not only the best punk band, but the best band in America today.

The Cramps, with their light-hearted pop-punk style and their cheerfully inane lyrics, have produced two excellent albums, the latest being Psychedelic jungle .

But the purpose of this article is to review the latest effort of the hardcore punk group, Black Flag.

Damaged, the band's first long play album after four EP's, has run into its share of controversy. When an MCA Records official declined to distribute the record because of its "anarchic stance and violent lyrics," the Flag put a sticker on the back cover quoting one of the official's statements about it: " As a parent, I found it an anti-parent record."

So what if the album contains such happy tunes as "Life of Pain,""Police Story" ("They hate us, we hate them"), and "Thirsty and Miserable ." It is a very good disc, the finest punk record since X's extraordinary debut, Los Angeles.

Hardcore punk is intentionally raw and highly energetic. Never has this been more evident than on Damaged. The songs are nonstop frenzies with each member giving his all.

Skin-headed Henry Rollins, who joined the band last year, is the volatile singer who belts out the lyrics with astounding force.

The founder of the band in 1976, Greg Ginn, and Dez Cadena, also a recent additi on, provide the hectic, three chord g uitar arrangements. ROBO is the drumm er, a nd the most talented member of the ba nd is Chuck Dukowski.

His bass guitar is the most adept at not interfering with the wild, sometimes poorly played jams of Ginn and Cadena. Toge th er it is a sound of extreme rythmic noise in its most unrelenting form that one can slamdance the night away to.

The songs are a combination of restless, pent-up aggression types, ("Spray Paint," " Padded Cell," " No More,") and humor, ("Six Pack," "TV Party," - "We've got nothing better to do than wa tch TV a nd have a couple brews. ") The title track comes in two versions, the second being a self portrait written by Rollins, ("My life ... nobody ge ts in it, stay out.")

Because of their agg ress ive style, Black Flag h as been accused of everyt hing from promoting violence to racism, (a song entitl ed "W hite Minority" told of blacks and Mexicans tak in g over the population.) But as Ginn says, "We're not into the kids w ho go o ut and break a toilet and say,"Hey, I'm hardcore and you're lame!" That's dumb. We just believe you should liv e yo ur own life, not so mebody els e's ."

A to ur promoting Damaged was launched in November a nd will end in England, a mov e that th e band is hoping will gain them a following overseas a nd shake their semiwest coast cult sta tus.

The o nl y co ncern is if they will be accepted amid th e popular postpunk psychedelia and new romanticism in the UK. But as Rollins sings o n th e ope ning so ng of their impressive new album, "We're gonna rise above; we're go nna rise above ."

Classes are available in the four basic fields of the secretarial profession: Legal, Medical, Corporation and General Secretary.

Typing and shorthand are offered as well as court reporting and word processing.

Larry Williams, chairman of the Business Education Department, said that although the Business Department is overcrowded in its computer and management courses, there are more than enough seats available in the secretarial classes.

There is a serious shortage of qualified men and women to fill the more than five thousand positions available in the San Diego area alone.

"Secretarial jobs are the first stepping-stone to advancement in the business management world," said Williams.

A one-time, two-year eligibility extension for certain training programs for as many as 39,000 Vietnam-era veterans nationally has been included in the Veterans Health Care, Training and Small Business Loan Act of 1981, signed into law by the President November 3.

Unskilled or educationally disadvantaged Vietnam-era veterans who allowed their ten-year delimiting date to expire before using all their entitlement for educational training can apply for the extension that began January 1 and will end Dec. 31, 1983.

Eligible veterans may use their remaining entitlement to obtain a high school diploma, or its equivalent, or pursue a program of apprenticeship, other on-the-job training or a program with a vocational objective.

Enrollment in college degree, flight or correspondence courses is not included in the extension.

Veterans who have already earned college degrees are ineligible for the extension.

The VA urges all potentially eligible veterans to get complete information on this program at the campus VA office.

Reading exams will be offered To help students discover their reading strengths and weaknesses, r~ading proficiency tests are being giVen. The test is a 30 minute, multiple choice test of reading skills. Only the student will receive a copy of the scores for use in course selection.

Results of the test are confidential.

For further information, call the reading program at 744-1150 extension 2568. The final test is March 18, at 6p.m. in ES 21.

for former • pr1soners Former prisoners of war are eligible for benefits because of recent legislation.

Th e Veterans Administration is attempting to locate 57,000 ex-POWs from World War Two, the Korean conflict and the VietNam era.

The Prisoner of War Health Care Henefits Act of 1981 is a result of a joint study with the Department of Defense, which found prisoners of war whose confinement was characterized by starvation diets, lack of medical care and inhumane treatment have a high incidence of physical and psychological disa bitities.

These veterans may now be compensated for certain nutritionrelated and psychological disorders regardless ofwhen they first appear.

Additionally, eligibility for inpatient and outpatient medical care, on a priority basis now exists.

43,000 prisoners of war, out of a total of 100,000, have already qualified for compensation or pension.

Members of the public are requested to advise any veteran they know who was a prisoner of war of the new legislation.

Veterans Benefits counselors at the San Diego Regional Office have details about the law and will be happy to assist anyone with 4 uestions about it. They can be contacted at 297-8220 or toll-free 1R00-532-3811.
