Mission Road construction will finally start By Bill Tharp
board has released to the State College Chancellor's office $219,000. This means that as soon as we are billed from San Marcos we will be able to bill the state and have the money transferred down here. "The big question is; because of the state's financial problems, will they reach down and pull that capitol back? This has happened to us twice before. I have been working on this for the' last five years and this is as close as we have gotten," said Dr. Scheidt. Another campus bottleneck which has plagued the campus for years, the lack of access roads, may also be solved soon. Dr. Scheidt indicated that,"long range planning to move traffic off campus in case of an emergency is close to finality . We have

After five years of red tape and negotiations Mission Road will finally be widened . Dr. Omar Scheidt, president of Palomar College and District Superintendent said," It looks like we will see the start of construction on Mission Road. " Bids went out in December and are to be opened January 26 . "If the bids are acceptable, work should start in the next 30 days. I hope it misses the opening of the spring Semester," said Dr. Scheidt. The first work that will be done will be placing of the utilities under ground, which
Reading from a letter sent by the engineer of San Marcos to property owners, Dr. Scheidt said,"San Marcos indicated that access to Palomar must be maintained at all times . Coordination of all exits and entrances, closures and detours must be included in the traffic plans by the contractor. This will help to insure students access to the college. Of course", said Dr. Scheidt," Due to construction the students will have to allow 15 more minutes to arrive on time at their classes. We are as close to having the work done as we have ever been.

Film series shows lavish English life Palomar College continues its Community Services' travel film series January 30 at 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. in room P-32. Howdee Meyers and Lucia Perrigo present "Come to the Castle," taking audiences inside incredibly lavish palaces, inviting them to revel in the glories and stories of the Stately Homes of England. Threatened by death taxes and the death beetle eating away miles of timber, these 400 year old castles were headed for extinction until enterprising noblemen abandoned their privacy and invited the paying public to become partners in a great adventure, a great achievement, the saving of English history and heritage for a whole world. "It's their remarkable story we have caught with camera," observes Meyers. "One Stately Home hero was the ingenious Duke of Bedford, inheritor of once derelict Woburn Abbey. Another is the Marquess of the Coronet Circuit. His home, Longleat, is a 400 year old gem that still gleams. A third is Lord Montagu of Beaulieu." The Meyers' camera reveals that beneath every coronet of a successful Stately Home is a hardheaded businessman, such as the Marquess of Bath, who rescued Longleat by turning 800 acres of parkland into England's first safari park. Tickets may be purchased at the door $3 general and $2.50 for students and senior citizens.

Show hours will be Monday through Friday, 9 a .m. to 4 p.m. Inspired by slides, books and discussion, history of art students have created works as semester projects using various media such as clay, stone, wood, papier-mache, pen and ink, mosaic, glass, fresco and paint. Choosing either the orginal art medium, suitable substitute, or a totally original medium, each stu-
Art show features faculty Selected works of professional artist/instructors of continuing education classes here will be on exhibit in the Boehm Gallery through January 28. The artists and their works are: Barbara Chapman - Works include a Samurai purse, a hanging basket, a hand-made sweater and a "Shaman," thre¡e feet tall. Wayne Chapman - Various size pots, free standing. Marguerite Gray - One watercolor, four watercolor/ acrylic, one oil- six works. Ted Wade - four works, original stone-lithograph prints. Louise Ramsower - one work in acrylic, three works in the media of oil.
Los Posa projected entrances into lot 12. I am working with the city to put at least a dirt road for a temporary entrance and exit from the college. As the college grows this could be widened to be able to carry more traffic. "A nother entrance that is planned is from Twin Oaks on what is now Borden Road . This would enter the campus just behind where the ski slope is . "There is a plan in thedevelopement stage that is almost finished which would divide the perimeter road in half . Then we could get" a sheriff near the midway point directing traffic both ways on the road. With people at the exit directing traffic we should be able to clear students off campus much faster with les s wear and tear on the nerves ."
Lisa Jean Nelson - Three works of soft sculpture, one work of basketry, one weaving. Thelma Speed Houston - Seven works in media of watercolor, one collage. Linda Doll - Two works in the media of water color, one ink drawing. Tony Raczka - Three works in the media of acrylic on canvas. Ray Warner- Five works in the media of stained glass, three works in the media of offuand glass, one glass and metal, one work in the media of semi-flat glass, three parts. Hours for the gallery are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. For more information call 744-1150 or 727-7529.
dent duplicated actual works of art or rendered free interpretations of a former style. The art objects in the show range from paintings , drawings , and sculpture, to crafts objects. Many of the history students are not art majors. It is the first time for some to get involved in , the art process- to go through the pains of creating something and to thoroughly explore a medium. The display is an excellent look at the history of man through his art. The Palomar art class participating in the show is Rita White's Art History 20.
Forensics team garners awards Nineteen major awards were amassed by the Palomar Forensics squad as it won its first championship sweepstakes at the Dixie Sunshine Classic, hosted by Dixie College, St. George, Utah. Competing against colleges from Utah, Idaho and California, the Comet speakers were led by triplewinners Mike Jackman, Dave Hauser and Donna Workman. Jackman placed first in extemporaneous speaking, and teaming with Hauser, placed fourth in duetacting. Lois Orr, Shannon Ryan, and Workman placed first, second and fifth in poetry interpretation. Major Sal Martinez, Ret., Hauser, and Steve Obergfell placed second, third, and fourth, respectively, in extemporaneous speaking.
To cut the rising cost of books the Student Help Center will sponsor a student book swap January 24 until February 25 from 9a.m.to 1:30 p.m. Monday thru Friday and 5 p.m.7 p.m. Monday and Tuesday nights. During the month of the book swap, students may bring their books to the center to be sold at what ever price the student sets. The sooner the books are brought in, the better the chance that they will be sold. However no books will be taken until January 24. Students may check with the center to see if their books have been sold and collect any money due them one week after turning the books in. A $1 service charge will be collected on each book sold. This service charge goes to the students that help in the center throughout the year. All transactions will be final February 25. Any unsold books that are not collected by their owners will be donated to various organizations. Questions concerning the book swap can be answered in the Student Help Center located next to the Student Union.
Free doctor will be available Is there a doctor in the house? Yes. Through the efforts of ASG President Jeff Urry and Palomar's Governing Board, a medical doctor will be available to students free of charge in the Health Services building starting March 1, 1983. The doctor can be seen by appointment three days a week when school is in session. A student must present his yellow registration sheet and have paid a health fee at the beginning of the semester. This service is provided at no charge except for lab processing costs. Some medications will be available at no cost to students. Health Services also provides first aid, counseling and loa ns of crutches or wheelchairs. Boosters for tetanus and diptheria and screening tests for pregna ncy, mononucleosis, vision, hearing, and blood pressure are among other services available. A registered nurse is ready to assist any student Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. until10:1 5 p.m. and on Saturday from 9 a.m. until12 p.m.
its existing shelving, the logistics of the move were more complicated. "It wasn't as easy as moving books from one shelf to another," says library director Alexis Ciurczak. "Using our present shelving made moving the collection a multi-step procedure. Books, periodicals and assorted audio visual media had to be packed, and stored while shelves were disassembled, moved to the new library and reassembled. Then, and only then, could the close to a quarter million items be placed back on the shelves." Senior Library Technician Ann Steffens likens the logistics of the move to planning the invasion of Normandy in World War Two. ' I think I know how Ike must have felt on the even of the invasion.' With careful planning, the library staff has provided the following schedule during the remainder of the moving process. Students and community members should. note that although areas of the library will be open for study, microfilm use and photocopying, the majority of the library's book and periodical collection will be available until the new library opens. The library's reference collection and instructor reserve section will be available on an "on call" basis. Books may be returned to the Periodicals Room or exterior book drops located near library entrances. Learning Resources Center hours will remain the same (MondayFriday, 8 a.m.-12 noon, 1 p.m.-4 p.m.). A list of local libraries with addresses and hours of operation is available at library public service desks. During the move to the new library, January 18-27, the main reading room will be open MondayThursday from 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m. and Friday 7:30 a.m.-4 p.m .. For more information, call the library 744-1150, ext. 2614.

Editor wraps up semester with a look toward futwe I see by the old clock on the wall that the fall semester is just about over. It is time to look at the past and plan for the future. We started the semester with 19,000 students and a smaller budget. As of the first of January we still had 19,060 students enrolled at Palomar . It has been an newsworthy semester here. In October we had an instructor shot in the hip during a robbery in Vista. We had another ins-tructor who survived a heart attack. Special Elections were held for three legislative members to the ASG. The first ASG sponsored picnic was held with fun and games the order of the day. The Women's Center sponsored its first 5K run. Maxwell the Robot visted the campus during a successful "High Tech" Day. A motor cycle slid breaking the legs of an instructor . Two weeks later he was back in class, teaching from a wheel chair. National elections were held and in the forty-third district we had instructor Dr.
Roy (Pat) Archer, a Democrat, running against Johnnie Crean, a Republican, and Ron Packard, a write-in candidate For the fourth time in a major election a write-in candidate won. But the election is being contested with Dr. Archer claiming illegal action at the polls . Inflation was down, but unemployment was up. After looking at these past highlights and with finals coming up, I leave you with these words of Davis Lewis Stein, "The past is gone; the present is full of confusion; and the future scares the hell out of me!" As Editor-in-Chief of "The Telescope", I wish to take this opportunity to thank my staff for the extra effort they made in reporting, proof reading, paste-up and in the writing of headlines. It is their hard work that allowed "The Telescope" to follow tradition and remain one of the best newspapers in the Community College system.

No one wins this war By Wendy Hayward With both the United States and Russia continually suspicious over whether the other is keeping the Salt Agreement, doesn't it make you wonder who's "ahead"? Well it really isn't "us" vs "them" anymore, and all this paranoia about Russia having more weapons than us is irrelevant. It's a fact that Russia and the United States have enough weapons to destroy every city on earth seven times . These cities just happen to be inhabited by human beings-people-just like you and me. And I don't know about you, but I can only be destroyed once; and I'd really rather not be destroyed at all. I'm not scared of Russia destroying me. They ,too, are human beings and I'm sure they'd like their children to have the chance

for a future, too. I am scared of" accidents" such as the one on November 9, 1979 in which a 46 cent computer part produced a false signal that Russian missiles were on the way. Or the time our planes "accidently" dropped four plutonium bombs on Spain, which fortunately did not explode. These are not isolated incidents, excepting that our government has been isolating its citizens from the facts. Well, personally, I'm tired of listening to excuses for spending billions of dollars to "protect" our country. Nobody is being protected. The human race is being toyed with- and I'm afraid I don't want to be destroyed, even once, when somebody's temper flares or someone makes a mistake.
Residency rules tiqhten By Bill Tharp With new residency regulations being adopted by the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, we may find a drop in student enrollment throughout the state. California is one of the last states that offers "free" education. With very inexpensive education available, many prospective students from other states have migrated to California to take advantage of the liberal rules on enrollment. In the past, all a student had to do was '1ive in the state for a year and show intent of becoming a resident." The cost of furnishing these students with an education has caused a drain on the state treasury. The outcry of the taxpayers was finally heard and it is hoped the drain
will stop. At the present time there are 200 out-ofstate students paying Palomar $75 per unit in order to receive an education. With the economy as it is today, 100 of the 18,000 students at Palomar are here on questionable residency. At $75 per unit with 12 units required for a full time student, that is $90,000 the state will never seeJ but it is needed if California is to maintain its present form of inexpensive education. Palomar is only one school. Figure the number of students in the educational system, and the amount of money the state is missing is staggering. These new requirements will take part of the burden of supporting the community colleges and state universities off the backs of the taxpayers.
Critic doubts validity of'easy' education By Sarah Grimes I came to Palomar College two years ago in search of a challenge. I had no great objective in mind when I enrolled. I was looking for a diversion, something more exciting than daytime TV. Summer was ending and I was growing tired of spending long, lazy days on the beach. And in some classes, I was challenged . I

took a German course that not only taught me to speak the language, but also taught me more about European history and linguistics than I'd ever learned. I struggled through two beginning algebra classes and mastered quadratic equations, something I'd failed miserably in high school. But, somehow, Palomar seemed awfully easy . Little reading and writing were required in my Humanitjes classes . In many of my courses, when there was a reading assignment, I didn't bother to complete it. Usually, the teacher lectured directly from the text. I found it easier to get the information recycled from the instructor. Tests consisted mostly of multiple choice and true-false questions. I took these tests with great relief. Thankfully, essay questions, which really test my objective knowledge, rarely made appearances on
exams. In one class, a teacher offered wholesale 'A"s if the students volunteered for a one credit course. The work and preparation for this 'A' was minimal. The hours spent on this one credit consisted of part of a weekend. The course and the grade were a sham. I began to question the quality of education I was receiving at Palomar. I wondered, was Palomar legitimate? Was it preparing me for a four year college? Unacquainted with any school but Palomar, I sought out a few former students and teachers who had attended Palomar and completed their education at four year schools. I asked them about their experiences and about the quality of education at Palomar. English teacher Steve Wozniak was one of
seven transfer students to be accepted as a junior at Harvard University. He spent his freshman and sophomore years at Palomar. Wozniak said transfering to Harvard was not as great a shock as he'd expected. " I thought it was going to be really difficult,'' said Wozniak. "There was a lot more reading and writing in non-English courses. That was surprising . "I had some good inst~uctors here. I chose the courses by the instructor. I had to take the most difficult instructors. You may as well challenge yourself here, because if you can't do it here you are simply not going to do it. Period." Steve Hinthorne, mathematics teacher, was an alumnus of Palomar when he transfered to the University of California at Santa Barbara.· After his transfer, Hinthorne " didn't find it easy. "Mathematics has a way of always being difficult." Yet when Hinthorne compared himself to other students in his classes who had attended UCSB for two years, "There wasn't a heck of a lot of difference." He continued' "I was better at manipulation and calculation because of my work at Palomar." His fellow students were better at the abstract theory of math. "They were able to prove things easier, while I was able to do all the figuring and application. "The grading system was hard in the sense that I was responsible."

4 NEWS Jeff Urry is more than iust a bureaucrat The Telescope, Tuesday, January 18, 1983
By Polly Filanc ASG president.. . LDS choir singer . . . concert band musician . . . full-time student .. . part-time worker ... husband .. . father ... "gap bridger" ... wallet loser. These are the quickest way to describe Jeff Urry. Automatically, the sandy-haired young man sets his pencil down and stands to greet a vistor who enters his Associated Student Government office. A digital wall clock illuminates the time. The large calendar on the desk indicates that his time is full with appointments, schedules, and meetings. Where does this sweater-vested young man find the time? A friend says, "He'll find time to help anyone. ''When Jeff sets a goal, he sticks to it, and does it the best way he knows how- effectively and efficiently." Urry says his main successful goal as ASG president this semester has been to"bridge the gap between the administration and the ASG, caused by previous student governments." According to Marilyn Lunde, secretary for the ASG, "He has also done a terrific job in moulding the relationship between the students and the student government." Other goals have been to increase the ASG's income and balance their budget. "When I was elected last spring, we decided to change vending machine companies which has increased our income. It is basically the same service, except the food selection is better and there are not as many breakdowns. We also increased the game room revenues. Two pool tables were taken out and the newest video games were added. We cutback in man hours at the Student Help Center which also helped the budget. "The budget was a mess when I took over. It looked like we were going to overspend, unless we made some drastic changes. We had to put a tight lid on certain things, so there would be a surplus. "Overall, we have done pretty well. I feel I have succeeded, even though there is a lot of room for improvement." JeffUrry, 23, was born in Wichita, Kansas. By the time he was four years old his family had "moved around a lot," since his father was a salesman for General Foods Corporation. They settled in Escondido where he attended Rose Elementary, and Orange Glen Junior and Senior High Schools. In high school, he played on the soccer team for four years and "loved it". For two years, he played clarinet in the marching band, which won the state championship for those two years. On the other hand, he played football for a short time as the "shortest guy on the team." "My coaches didn't like me much, because I complained a lot, was a poor sport, and was hard to to get along with." Joining the navy for four years is cited as as experience that "changed my attitude. I realized the real world does not accept complainers." While stationed at Great Lakes, Illinois, at the age of 20, he married Melissa, who he considers his "v.ery best friend". (They now have a five month old girl, Miranda.) "My wife keeps me in line. she makes sure I don' t over-extend myself." Urry says he is a Type A person who has to be busy with many projects and cannot sit still. When I do, Melissa reminds me "Hey, you've got to slow down; remember us?" "While Melissa shops for the best buys at the grocery store, I tend to ring up a big bill." Being a Type A person can have its drawbacks as Urry explains. "I lose my wallet a lot. I have left it on
airplanes, at the beach and on the bus. "One time I lost my wallet with my military ID card on a Greyhound bus. I was on my way to San Francisco to catch a plane to the Philippines where my ship, the U.S.S. Juneau, was stationed. "I was doing all my traveling without my ID. I finally made it to Subic Bay. But to get on the base, an ID is required, uruess you are classified an E-5 or above. I was an E-4, which means I had only one "chevron" on my sleeve. E-5s have 1 two. "Philippine soldiers carrying guns , got on my bus to check ID's . I had to think fast. I rolled up my sleeve so they couldn't tell if I had one or two "chevrons". I looked straight ahead and prayed they wouldn't ask for my ID. I was really scared. And it was my first time in a different country. But I got through. Urry's luck has not run out."I have always gotten my wallet back. I never had enough money in it to worry." Except for singing in the church choir, weekends he sets aside for relaxation and farnily,~'We go for drives; I watch football or I read. My favorite book is Shogun by James Carvell, because I spent time in Japan." "During the work week, there is no time to relax, there is dinner to get ready, as I do most the cooking. If not, I keep the baby occupied. After dinner, I do my homework." "I wouldn't be happy unless I was doing things constantly. I always say I don't have time for certain things ... I wonder what I do have time for. There are so many things I'd like to do more of, such as singing, playing' music, reading, writing letters, and playing soccer, which is one of the activities I had to give up. Even though his activities, such

as his presidency, schooling, job at the Purchasing Department, music, family and church takes a lot of his time, "Jeff manages his time efficiently," according to Pam Hammond, secretary to Dean of Students, Norm Price. He not only seems to manage his time well , but he has gained the respect of his friend and co-worker Andy Wright. " He is more than just a president, he is a friend, " said Wright. " He also promotes team work in student
government. All the student government members agree that there is not enough good words to say about hi m. " Urry is more critical of himself. " I tend to see where I have come up short. I like to be organized and see things run smoothly. But they will never run as smoothly as I like." As president he is not yet satisfied. " If I were to leave office today, I would not consider myself totally successful." In the next half of his
Vox Populi Question of the week: What is your greatest achievement at Palomar this semester? MARK NUNN: Just g etting through Hinthorne's Intermediate Algebra class awake.
RICH RICHARDS: Just getting up every morning at 7:30 is my greatest achievement this semester. REBECCA EYER: Finding out how bad I was at grammar. I'm taking a Spanish course this semester. My Spanish course has taught me more about grammar than I ever learned in high school. MIKE NIBLOCK: I showed up at every one of my classes for a whole week. RANDY STEW ART: Getting out of college before the noon traffic jam. SUSIE CAMILLO: I managed to memorize all the Prosimians in Anthropology. I became very familiar with man-apes and plan to pursue my interest.
term, he plans to be "More productive." He plans to increase ASG card sales, increase vending sales; and have a film series with a major motion pictures. His primary concern is to "meet the needs of the administration and faculty with more student input. There are committees that need to be attended. There are not enough students interested. This is one area where I have fallen short." Eventually,to encourage input, " Student Government will be worth a unit." As a person, U rry sees himself as "easygoing and understanding. Maybe too understanding, as I tend to see all sides of an issue. Sometimes my easy-going nature gets in the way of making final decisions. I like to see everyone happy." "I am an optimist. I am pleased with more things than I am displeased. " But I don't like heated discussions. Arguing really upsets me. When we are discussing an issue, I don't like it to become heated. People should be reasonable and talk about it." In trying to realize he cannot please everyone, Urry sits back in his chair and remembers what Dr. Dr. Kenneth Burns, Assistant Superintendent and Vice President of Student Personnel Services, told him once. "He said to me, 'You are never good enough for yourself, sometimes too good to your friends, and always too good to your enemies. There will always be people out there who do not want you to succeed."' Leaning forward in his chair, Urry looks directly at his visitor, then says,"There are always going to be people who don'tagreewithmy policies. I am learing to be flexible and understanding in dealing with other people's feelings when they get out of hand. One thing that everybody needs to remember is that this is a learning experience." Urry is aware of the time illuminated on the wall-clock. He quickly gathers up some papers, says his good-byes, and walks briskly away to one of his scheduled calendar appointments.

Four players, Barry Bryan, Jim Schones, Roy Ofterol and Daniel Zatz won and will receive free entry into the upcoming all school tournament.

Veterans warned over late payment To avoid delays in school term payments, veterans should be sure enrollment certificates for initial payments are sent to the Veterans Administration, by the school, at least four weeks in advance. Request for advanced payments are signed and submitted to the VA at least one month before the beginning of the semester.

By Tony Sciumbata Being the director of the Library and the Media Center can be a most demanding job. Especially when it presently involves coordinating the movement of existing materials into a new and more elaborate building. However, Alexis K. Ciurczak has coped admirably with the task. "It's been exciting, " she notes, "but it's also been very hard. Procedure has been going along smoothly with no major problems. The staff and students are really cooperative and accommodating, and the administration are very supportive." At present the shelving is being installed in the new facility and the lounge furniture has arrrived. All books, except the reference collection and the instructor reserves, are being kept in storage temporarily. The Fine Arts Library collection was integrated last summer. Ciurczak and several other librarians have been preparing an itemized list of all new materials being brought in. This procedure is time-consuming, but is very specific on details and insures that the job is finished. In spite of all the activity in and around the old building, areas were left open for photocopying, microfilm use and study purposes. "The most important thing for us, is to keep the old library open and provide some resources for the students,"Ciurczak said. The library staff has been able to maneuver the whole operation with remarkable unobtrusiveness. "We are trying to move out of the library without very much disruption. Of course, we do have a big advantage m the hiring of professional movers." Construction did not begin on the new library until May of 1981, although the idea of a larger structure was actually in the planning stages for nearly a decade. At that time, as decisions were formulating regarding the new library, Ciurczak, who has been at Palomar for eight years, was a new arrival. Formerly the superintendent of technical and public services and also in charge of day-to-day operations ofthelibrary, she worked her way gradually to the position she now occupies, the Library and Media Center Director. Her office now encompasses a much broader network of responsibilities. It includes acquistions, dealing with vendors, business agencies and the other libraries in the SanDiego area, working on the

library at the moment seems to be the crippling of valuable services. Due to reductions in educational funding, there has been substantial cuts in staff. The budget received similar trimming and travel was removed entirely. Library hours are shorter now and it is no longer open on weekends. However, the librarians remain optimistic about the new structure which is slated for unveiling sometime early in the spring semester. There is no set date as yet. One of the reasons for acquisition of a new building was to meet the demands of the students. "People were complaining about the old library for several reasons. It was too hot, too cold, there was not enough ventilation, etc.," Ciurczak said. "The new library, however, will be a much more pleasant place. There are more quiet areas for study and the book and magazine collection will be more easily accessible and better organized." The library will no longer be affected by the space problem it had prior to the move. It is now a very commodious center and magazines which were available only on a " call" basis can be seen out in the open at last. "All in all, despite the minor ups and downs, deadlines and counterdeadlines, the construction and move-over has been accomplished at a fairly rapid pace," Ciurczak added. "The students showed enthusiasm for the project from its inception and I believe they will be more excited when they finally see how everything turned out."
Cal-Vet loan program greatly speeded up Veterans who file for the Cal-Vet loan program which provides lowinterest home and farm loans to eligible California Veterans, can expect their applications to be processed on a current basis. Previously veterans have had to secure interim financing before they received funding. The back log of applications which plagued the program for over 18 months has been erased, according to Manuel Val, Director of the Department of Veterans Affairs which administers the Cal-Vet loan program. The new Cal-Vet outlook has been attributed to a number of factors, including passage of PROP. 3 (the $450 million Cal-Vet bond authorization), and plans for a sale of $150 million in general obligation bonds in January to enable loan funding to continue.
7 FEATURES 'Nutcracker' suit goes to court tomorrow The Telescope, Tuesday, January 18, 1983
By Polly Filanc To be or not to be is the question of Palomar's and New West Ballet School's production of 'The Nutcracker' which will face judgment day tomorrow in Superior Court. Palomar College is being sued by the California Ballet Association for the college's 1981 production of 'The Nutcracker.' In documents filed, the ballet association charges that the college in that production plagerized the choreography used by the ballet association, according to a Los Angeles Times article. The Times article said that the
suit, in which the ballet association is seeking $50,000 in damages, alleges that the college's production was a "crude, unsophisticated imitation,' of the association's version that damaged its reputation.'' After California Ballet Association filed a temporary injunction trying to prevent the college from presenting their third annual production, the injunction was denied by a Superior Court judge about a week and a half before the performance. 'The Nutcracker' went on as scheduled. Delighting enthusiastic crowds, one spectator commented, "Outstan-
Student evaluates academic standards (Continued from page 2) He explained, "There was not an instructor at UCSB who really cared about me as a person. All of my instructors were doing research and writing papers. "An undergraduate course to them wasn't very important. "One guy was trying to get his assistant professorship. He had to do some extraordinary research to get it. He taught me a course in projective geometry that was extremely difficult. He was a good speaker, but he was only interested in presenting material. "In my philosophy class the teacher came in once a week for a one hour lecture. He assigned reading assignments. Then he said, 'If you have any questions, discuss them with your T.A.'s.' (teaching assistants) "There was no time in that hour for him to even approach a question. There were 900 students in the hall. Hs couldn't open up for questions." Hinthorne concluded that "There's a lot to be said for the community college. You (the student) have the opportunity to ta\k with people who are making their life's work in the subject."
death certificate isn't on file yet," to be accepted. "An open door policy is a problem,' said Hinthorne. "When a student just sits there at the front of the classroom, dumbfounded, and you know he doesn't understand anything, he puts a great weight on the class "It's really something to feel in the classroom. So you repeat yourself. What does that do? It stops the whole flow of information." Wozniak agreed. Because of no entrance requirements and often the type of student who attends Palomar, "The tone and tenor of the course will diminish. The instructor will lower to the capabilities of the student instead of his own expectations." The problem of the underdeveloped student is not unique at Palomar. Time Magazine in January of1982described the dilemma of underprepared students in college as "epidemic.'' Stan Levy, reading specialist here, said, "We're no different than S.D. State or the University of California system. The number of pre-English and math courses have proliferated like crazy across campuses." I think Palomar's open door policy is benevolent and wonderful. Without it, I could not attend college. I did very poorly in high school. Palomar is my second chance at education. Yet I advocate placement testing in order for a student to take any transfer level course. Students should demonstrate the ability to read and write on a college level before taking college level courses. As Levy said, "If 50% of the students in your class can't read the textbook, there's a tendency to lecture that book." Are written assignments up to college level in terms of grammar, composition and spelling here? Bishop said no, but he added, "I'm not sure I'd call it college level at SDSU either."
Bruce Bishop, communications teacher, is graduate of San Diego State. Besides teaching at Palomar, he also taught at State for three years. I asked Bishop whether there were any differences between the San Diego State student and the Palomar College student. The big difference that Bishop noted was "the level of importance the student places on academic education. "I don't see students who have as high of a priority on education in general. "That manifests itself in less of a commitment. Students aren't as committed to their classes (at Palomar) as they are at State. Attendance is not as good." Kathy Gravin, a transfer student from Palomar to State, called Palomar "her structure in educaIn the math department on camtion."

ding performance! It brought tears to my eyes." In response to the suit, Dr. :Raymond Dahlin, chairman of the Speech/Theater/Dance Department said, "They (California Ballet) shouldn't be able to get away with that kind of charge. We have done nothing different than any other production. It is public domain material. "I guess they are claiming they are doing something unique with 'The Nutcracker.' We can't understand we can be sued on those grounds. We were not concerned with stealing someone else's show, but we were concerned with bringing it to the North County for people who wouldn't normallv see it. The amazing thing is that we have great respect for the California Ballet. We have encouraged attendance for all their performances. When they are doing something, we post advertizing. We even invited Maxime Mahon, director of the California Ballet, (to the performance in question) to show how proud we were." Dahlin went on to say, "We were not concerned with making money. We were more concerned with get-
ting people involved." In the Times article, Dahlin said, "We could sell only 2,800 tickets even if we sell out every night. Last year(1981), wemadeabout$2,000on 'The Nutcracker' and the California Ballet netted about $54,000. So we are hardly a threat to them." According to Dahlin, the main reason for doing'The Nutcracker' on campus is "for educational impact. It is part of our curriculum." The production began on campus three years ago after Robert Mahon, Business Manager of the New West Ballet School, contacted Dahlin and mentioned the idea of doing 'The Nutcracker.' Dahlin was an inactive member of the Board of Directors of the California Ballet until last spring when he found out about the lawsuit. "I resigned. Otherwise, I'm sure they would have asked me to resign." The ballet association had sent a letter asking us not to perform 'The Nutcracker', Dahlin said. After contacting county council, "We responded that it was public. We heard nothing until we received the injunction." After denying California Ballet Assn.'s injunction, Superior Court Judge Edward T. Butler said" didn't
find anything unique about the disputed choreography." But he scheduled another hearing on that question, according to the Times. Dahlin said, "I'm not sure what is going to happen on the suit. I'm sure going to be ready."

Tom Craft hired as new football head coach Veteran assistant coach Tom Craft has been hired as the new head coach for the Comets' football team. Craft, 29, is a veteran of six years with the quarterbacks andreceivers and was the offensive coordinator last year. His hiring is effective immediately and his primary tasks will involve hiring a staff of assistants and recruiting for the 1983 season. Former head coach Mario Mendez, 41, has been reassigned to a full-time teaching position in the physical education department. Mendez compiled a 19-39 overall and 11-28 Mission Conference record in six years at the helm of the Comets. Craft has set his sights on several objectives as he assumes responsibility for guiding the Comets. He would like to continue Palomar's
dedication to providing athletes with a sound education as a preparation to attending a four-year college or university. Continued emphasis will also be placed on getting scholarships for the athletes. "We will put a high level of emphasis on recruiting as many players from the North County as we possibly can," Craft said. "There are a lot of high quality players in this area and we would like to have many of them play for Palomar. "We're a little behind in the recruiting game at this point, but I think we can catch up if we work hard at it," he added. Craft intends to have a North County flavor on his coaching staff as well, with several area high school coaches being considered for positions.
"There are some great coaches in the North County and it's exciting opportunity for us to try to get some of these people working for us," he said. "We're going to try to get the staff put together within the next two weeks." Palomar's football team recently concluded its second straight season without a league victory. Craft feels he will have a chance to turn the program around if certain things happen. "We'll be able to start immediately if we have a coaching staff that is enthusiastic and will bust their tails to do a good job," he explained. We'd like to be able to play our games here at Palomar, but we are lacking a scoreboard and a press box," he explained. "We would also need a practice field if we were able

"I've always had a goal to be head coach at this level," he said. "When I played at Monterey Peninsula College and San Diego State, I enjoyed the playing a lot, but I was always intriqued by the coaching aspect and felt that I would like to get into the field."

'Baseball fever'
Woods said at the Southern Regionals that the south was the toughest region in the state and the results of the state meet proved his point. Southern California teams showed a domination as a whole with the South Central Region copping three of the top ten spots for a total of seven Southern California teams in the top ten.

51 J J Dudley runs tall in Comet quick-score attack II
By Bill Wilson In basketball, the style of play takes many forms. There is the conservative approach, slow down, take-your-time, call the play, let the other team make the mistakes. Then there is an aggressive attack, the hit-and-run-and-gun fast break or rebound-pass-shoot-attack. Both can be equally successful. But to Willy Dudley, the latter is the only path to prosperity. "The run-and-gun is my way of playing basketball, says Dudley. "You have to make things happen on offense, and play scrappy defense. No matter how good a defense is, it's hard to stop a well run fast break." One of the smallest on the roster at 5'11", Dudley realizes his presence on the court won't intimidate the opposition. He had literally been looked down on ever since he started playing organized basketball. But when Dudley steps on the court, his quickness soon overshadows his lack of size. "Yeah, I'm shorter than most," agrees Dudley," but I've always complemented an offense that runs a lot because of my quickness. There's nothing wrong with getting the ball down court and scoring before the defense has a chance to set up ." Since his sophomore year in high school, he has been doing just that. Fans have been amazed at his dexterity. His ability to pull up short at the top of the key and score with consistency is awing. But his true talent is not revealed until he works his way underneath the basket. Twisting and turning, he seemingly toys with his taller, less agile opponents. Willy Dudley's first exposure to basketball came twelve years ago. He grew up in Boston. A city filled with such basketball celebrities as
Dave Cowens, John Havlicek, and Nate "Tiny" Archibald. "I watched 'em all the time. I had stars to idolize. '' I played a lot of ice hockey, too," says Dudley, who still retains his New Englander's brogue. "But my first love was basketball. Besides that, Southern California doesn't offer much when it comes to playing hockey." The Comet guard moved to San Marcos with his mother and younger brother in the winter of'78. It wasn't long before he earned a starting role as point guard for the San Marcos High School. "Our offense at that time consisted of two all-leagers. So all I did was bring the ball down-court and pass off to them; the kind of thing I don't care much for,'' ,recalls Dudley."ln my junior year Gary Keith took over coaching the varsity. Things started to pick up and by my senior year we made the playoffs. I think Coach Keith introduced the running game because Charlie Panos (now at Mira Costa) and I would run all over." By the end of his final season with the Knights, averaging 19 points per game, Dudley had achieved allleague status. After graduating, he returned to the East Coast for personal reasons. "I had to find out some things for myself. I'm a bit stronger now because of it." Dudley, who plays behind Lloyd Klaman at one guard spot, has yet to regain his prowess after that one year layoff. He earnestly talks of potential when assessing this year's club. "We have a lot of talent on this team. But overall absence of height might hamper the team's success." Don't be surprised, though, if Willy Dudley and the Comets attempt to run away with a league championship this year.
time; Comets host tourney When spring semester rolls around, baseball "fever" is sure to get to the Comet sport fans. On February 10, America's national pastime will be played during the annual PalomarMiraCosta Tournament at Palomar's Myers field. "Play ball " will start at 10:30 a.m. with a traditional powerhouse San Bern~dino Valley College as the Comets opponent. "We wanted to open with a good team," Vetter said. "We've got to play good teams to get ready for our ~onference."
After the season opener, the Comets have a month to prepare for the Pacific Coast Conference's first regular season. Palomar will play in the new Pacific Coast Conference during the upcoming season along with Saddleback, San Diego Mesa, MiraCosta, Southwestern, Grossmont, San Diego City College and Imperial Valley. Palomar will be in the Northern Division along with Saddleback, Mesa and MiraCosta. Each team will play the other teams in its division four times and will play each team in the other division three times in a 24-game conference schedule. "We're really anixous to get started in the new conference," said Vetter. "The Mission Conference was very good league for baseball, but there was a lot of travel involved. Except for Imperial Valley, everyone in the new league is fairly close geographically." "We'll have more natural rivalries in the new conference." Before conference play begins, the Comets will make a three game road swing up the California coast in mid-February. The visit north replaces the Imperial Valley tournament on their schedule. The locals will visit Oxnard February 24 and will play Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo February 25 and 26.
