'Working' features ensemble acting "Working", Palomar Community Theatre's spring production, begins its final week of performances March 23 through 26 at 7:30 p.m .. The musical "Working" is an ensemble play by Stephen Schwartz, adapted from Studs Terkel's book of the same name. Director and Palomar College Instructor Pat Larmer says he chose to direct this play; a light ensemble
Nursing instructors are facing the possible elimination of three positions, and college vicepresidents and deans may be working with shorter contracts according to a resolution accepted by the board of governors during the latest round of budget cuts March 8. Administrators are staring at $1.9 million in cutbacks from next year's budget, with personnel reductions likely. They are necessary due to an • expected drop in state funding. The resolution was given to the board of governors one month before possible termination notices or reduction in contracts must be sent to certified personnel under the state education code. Termination notices will be sent by May 15. The action will cover the Jistrict's obligations, as administrators and faculty continue to study the necessary budget cuts. According to Dr. Theodore Kilman, nursing is the most expensive program due to low student to instructor ratio and the clinical setting that is required. The resolution states three instructional positions will be eliminated. Nursing department chairperson Pat Schmidt has suggested that one of the eliminated positions be reduced to part-time. That person would be paid on an hourly basis. Another position could be shifted to a program funded by other sources, Schmidt said. The third instructor is currently on leave and not expected to return. One full-time speech and theater arts instructor would be reduced to part-time, under the resolution. Only Palomar president Dr. Omar Scheidt would be employed on a year-round basis if the resolution is implemented on May 15. The three vice presidents and seven deans would be hired for eleven months, while any other certified person now hired for more than ten months per year would be reduced to a ten month contract. The resolution still leaves -$130,000 to be cut from the budget. Dr. Kilman suggested he will implement a purchasing freeze this year and buy ahead the supplies needed for next year. Classified personnel will receive some cutbacks under the resolution. Administrators may give classified workers a thirty day termination notice at any time.

of a wide diversity of white and blue collar workers, because "It is appropos to the times. "Many people will see themselves reflected in one or several of the players as the play reveals the thoughts and feelings of the individual workers." "Working" allows audiences an opportunity to evaluate their own personal work attitudes through the soul-searching efforts and candid remarks of play characters. Larmer, who is also set designer and technical director, has the demanding task of combining technical aspects, design elements and character direction into a single theatrical piece. Particularly important and unique to "Working" is the perfect rhythm necessary for the transition from one character, one scene to another. As an off-Broadway show, "Working" only lasted a few weeks. The show was resurrected two years later by the San Diego Repertory Theatre and was enjoyed by critics and audiences alike. Also behind the scenes are choreographer Dana Charne Hayward and music director Jaime Malagon. Hayward has been involved in numerous Palomar Theatre productions, including choreographing "The Tavern", presented in the spring, 1982. Malagon, a talented pianist, directs the musical score of Stephen Schwartz ("Godspell" composer). General admission for Friday and Saturday evening is $6 and $5 for senior citizens and students. For all other performances, tickets are $5 general and $4 seniors and students. For more information call Palomar College Theatre at 7441150 or 727-7529, Extension 2453 or 744-1156.

MID-TERM VACANCY
ASG elects new vice-president By James Smith Andy Wright, former editor of The Telescope and legislative chairperson of the ASG (Associated Student Government), was elected new vice president at the March 9 ASG meeting. As the only nominee for the post recently vacated by Lisa Noonan, Wright was unanimously chosen by a show-of-hands vote. In the past, the traditional role has been for the vice president to deal more closely with the students and school clubs, where the president serves as a link to the faculty. Wright plans to continue this role, as well as to attempt to lessen the work
load of ASG president Jeff Urry.
In dealing with the school clubs, the vice president traditionally presides over the ICC (Inter Club Council), but recently the ICC elected their own president, legislator Kevin Brown. Wright sees no problem in having Brown remain there, saying, "I think it will work out for the best." On the issue of a proposed new constitution for Palomar to be voted on by the students in upcoming elections on March 22, 23, 24, Wright says, "I have confidence that the students of Palomar will take time to read it" ... "that it is well worded" and "that we (ASG) had the best
interest of the students in mind and will ratify it." Why does he feel that the new constitution is in the best interests of the students? Wright says that it is a document that does not require a pre-law major to understand and that it allows more student participation in student government. In the "Presidents Report" Jeff Urry brought up a student complaint on smoking in the Student Union, an issue that will be looked into by legislator Leonard Flagg. Under the topic of Mayfair "83", the Auto Body club has donated a second car for a giveway at the upcoming fest, according to committee chairperson J .C. Lowery.

Weekend closures diminish library value An exciting era begins at Palomar with the opening of its new library. It is a magnificent facility. Whatever one's thoughts are about the aesthetics of its design, the services that it can offer are wonderful. As a learning community, we should like full advantage ~f it . The library is the heart and soul of any college campus. Some students simply "go to school," that is, show up for class, read the text, and take the exam . But others go beyond that and plunge into the essence of what they are studying . For them, the library is the place where serious investigation and research happens .
closed on Saturdays and Sundays. This cancels out the prime periods of free study and research for many students. Every teacher on this campus will testify to the importance in his or her own career of the hours spent in a library on weekends . It was when and where the important papers were written. We cheat students when we do not allow them an equal opportunity.
LE'ITER TO THE EDITOR
Our new library should be open from 10 to 6 on Saturdays and Sundays for students and the community. The majority at Palomar work as well as attend school. Their Access to our library, however, will be . time during the week is often tightly diminished by budget cuts. Unfortunately, structured . Weekends afford the only time the new library building is scheduled to be to study in an unhurried atmosphere.
For as long as I have taught at Palomar, a 'Common complaint has been that nothing ever happens here on weekends, that it is hard to draw students back to the campus . Our library can become a vibrant center of academic life and be a force in generating a new spirit of activity. The community will then recognize Palomar as a place where learning and educational events are continuous, and not a school that shuts down on Fridays and starts up on Mondays. Again, money is a problem. Budgets have been drastically cut throughout the entire school system of the state. But the more subtle tragedy is that administrators and teachers have been so preoccupied with bottom line economics that they seem to be losing any sense of adventure and discovery in education. The tone of conversations in
hallways and dining areas ranges from cautionary to morbid. It sometimes sounds as though Palomar is a failing department store in the midst of a final clearance sale . During these hard times we must not forget that two years from now, ten years from now, every part of our society will still be in need of thoroughly qualified graduates . I hope that we have not yet reached the point at which the desire for academic excellence is no longer our top priority. The opening of our library is a natural point of rejuvenation. With it we should make the statement that we are less interested in erecting a monument to be admired than in the services it is designed to provide. Richard Peacock
Parking woes affect students By Bill Tharp Why is it when it comes to parking, the student is the one that does the walking ? The student who drives a car to school is charged five dollars to defray the cost of the district's buying land for parking lots and help defray the cost in the upkeep of the parking lots that exist. The problem seems to be that for every parking lot that is opened for the students, one is taken away. It may be a small area, but students do lose the use of those parking spaces . Staff members use parking lots 1-2-3-4-610 and 11 . They share parking lots 1-3 and 4 with visitors . Students share parking lot 8 with the maintenance staff. A spot check showed recently that in the morning hours parking lot one is not fully occupied with staff, visitors or both . Parking lot three was checked between 8 :45 and 9 a.m. and had a weekly average of 10 cars. Lot four at the same time had a weekly average of 12 cars . This count includes the construction crew that is working on the library . The first"raid" was parking lot three near the tennis courts . Later lot four was "raided". Parking lot four was converted from student parking to staff and visitors with the belief that the college would have a surge of visitors to see the new library . During the years that I have attended this college it has been noted that not many visitors use the library, theater or Boehm Gallery during the morning hours . There is one flaw in the staff-visitor parking lots. Not all the staff uses the parking lots that are designated for staff members . Staff members have been parking in student lots seven and eight located in the northeast section, for reasons known only to them. Not all visitors use the parking lots that are set aside for their use. The visitors also
use parking lot seven, but also park in the handicapped zone without authorization. I do not blame the Campus Patrol for not issuing citations. The Campus Patrol is understaffed and can not make the rounds that are needed to police thearea effectively.
EDITORIAL Why is close-up parking taken from the students? It takes students who are using parking lots 9 , 12 and 14 a great deal of time to reach their classes after they have found a parking spot. Those areas within the campus where the student must park in the dirt should be graded and paved to allow fo r all-weather parking. We know that students who want an education will walk from the parking lot no matter how far it is from the campus . But why do we continually make the students bear the brunt of parking "solutions"?

Worksite program needs help By Sandi T revisan Today's community college wears many faces- that of the basic education/transfer school, the adult continuing education and community service facility, and vocational trainer. Palomar Community College wears yet another face. With the cooperative efforts of local industry and government, it has developed a whole new area of vocational training programs - Worksite Training. Palomar has produced two very successful on-site training programs in the areas of electronics technology and registered nursing, with growth anticipated in many other
areas of high technology. Worksite Training programs are highly technical instructional programs, lecture and lab or clinic, conducted on the employer's business premises, training students and company employees in rigorous certificate programs in order to upgrade their skills so as to move them up the corporate ladder, and working with the Employment Development Department to "backfill" the newly vacated positions. Worksite training began in 1979 as representatives from the electronics in-
COMMENTARY dustry serving on the Palomar College Electronics Technology Advisory Committee focused on the then critical shortage of electronics technicians in North San Diego County and the projected shortage in future years. Due to the effect of Proposition 13, the community college system was not capable of increasing the number of new electronic technicians for industry.
GEE." AlHREE BEDROOM HOUSE FOR ONLY 1\VO HUNDRED BUCKS'" WK~TS ntÂŁ CATCH?
Soon after passage of the CWETA (California Work Education Training Act) legislation in 1979, Palomar College was the first southern California community college to receive grant money for a pilot worksite training program. The grant intent was to supply start-up monies for the program and, as grant funds dwindled, the program would continue on an ADA driven basis. Not only has that original program successfully moved to an ADA support basis, but a total of eleven 18 month electronic technician programs and three two-year LVN-RN upgrade programs have been implemented and have been very successful in showing that industry, education and government can work together to manage
and operate these types of training programs. In an attempt to provide industry with the highly skilled technicians that it demands, the community college, working separate grants to establish these programs, has been able to provide students with low cost vocational education, virtually insuring immediate new or upgraded employment with program completion. Tom Dolan, Director of the Worksite Training Program indicates,"The need for skilled electronics technicians is so great, students are sometimes pulled from the program prematurely and upgraded in employment." Additionally, in the current wake of state cutbacks and fiscal crisis, traditionally expensive programs like nursing can result in 50 percent savings to the community college. On-site instructors are selected by the companies involved in the training project, fully accredited, and are paid by the college on an hourly basis. Classroom facilities and equipment, sometimes even texts, are provided by industry. Dr. Patricia Schmidt, Palomar College Nursing Education Department Chairperson, agrees the need is great. "Hospitals have asked us not to cut back our enrollment even in these tough economic times. North County hospital administrators anticipate a continuing growth and a resulting need for highly trained registered nurses." In the worksite training programs, 317 students have already received certificates for successful completion of programs in the electronics and nursing education areas. As the ever-increasing demand for employees trained in advance technology for industry continues, Palomar College plans to fully participate in satisfying these employers requirements . . . that is, ifit can continue to gain financial support from industry or the state.
NEWS Campus Patrol offers services By Greg Zimmerman Ever need assistance in getting keys out of your locked vehicle? Ever lose something on campus? Ever have anything stolen or your car vandalized? If so the Campus Patrol is the place to seek help. Located in the green building at the end of the track near the main entrance, the patrol gives out tickets, patrols the campus, checks the bookstore, takes reports on stolen goods and assists students and staff with any problems that might occur while on campus. They also fill out accident reports for traffic accidents, which are valid for insurance companies. Still another service is that of a lost and found department. Heading the Campus Patrol is John Kratt. Sixty percent of his working time is devoted to being an instructor of the Criminal Justice Department, while the remaining forty percent is spent coordinating the Campus Patrol. Twenty students of the Criminology Department divide the work force. These students have a two year study in Criminal Justice and are usually placed in private sectors of police work after their employment here. Jobs these

They have been in this "shack" for five years now. There are two secretaries, one full-time to assist Kratt in his business of running the Patrol. Dave Hazlett who has been with the patrol for two years says "It is a good job, good training and experience."

Mermen win, women edged out: host strong Saddleback today Swim coaches Don Hubbard and Patti Waterman are predicting tough battles for their respective teams today when the Comets host powerful Saddleback at Wallace Memorial Pool beginning at 2:30 p.m. Hubbard's men's team is 5-0 in dual meets this season and placed first in the Border Relays and the Pacific Coast Conference Relays, nipping Saddleback in the latter by 10 points. The Comets look to have enough top-flight talent and depth this year to challenge the Gauchos for the league title. Waterman's women's team is 2-2 on the year and 0-1 in the PCC after dropping a close 71-69 decision to San Diego Mesa last Friday as a
result of a controversial ruling by the meet official. A victory over Saddleback combined with a Saddleback victory over San Diego would put the Comets back in the title race. Waterman had figured the meet with Mesa would be a close one, but she counted on Palomar taking almost all of the second and third places to win the meet. That plan almost worked, but the Comets missed third place on three events and had a second place finish by Susan Staub in the 100-yard breaststroke eliminated by a questionable call by the starter. Three Oceanside High graduates carried the Palomar swim team (5-0) to an easy 83-31 victory at Mesa

Racquetmen split matches William Jewell College of liberty, Missouri, visits the men's tennis team today in a 2 p.m. match. The Comets blanked San Diego City in straight sets last Friday. Jamie lievers, Tony Parsonese and Alan Sasseen were the only singles winners against Mesa and Sasseen teamed with Geoff Morris for the only win at number two doubles against Grossmont when the Griffms team defaulted. The men's team wasn't as fortunate losing 6-3 at San Diego Mesa. Jamie Iievers, Tony Parsonese and Alan Sasseen were the only victors for Palomar.
March 10, Coach Bob Vetter's baseball team dropped a heartbreaking 2-1 decision to Imperial Valley March 11 and an 8-2 nod to Southwestern. The locals collected just 13 hits combined the last two days after getting 17 against the Spartans. "This week is behind us, but we're not going to lie down and die yet," said coach Bob Vetter. "Ian Kelly--is the only one hitting consistently for us so we need more production out of the rest of the lineup." The Comets stranded 11 men on base Saturday and did not score until the ninth inning. Mitch Tybroski had a double, Randy Brooks a triple and Mike Corsetti an RBI single to pace Palomar's limited offense. Starter Will F1ynt (0-3) struck out six in his five-plus innings, but walked seven before yielding to Mike Bittner. Southwestern's Phil Zimmerman blanked the Comets until the ninth when he needed relief from two pitchers. Rich Morton collected three hits, including an RBI double to score Kelly, in Friday's loss.
College. Dan McCauley won the one meter diving event and was second at three meters; Jeff Cram won the 200 backstroke (2:14.5), the 200 butterfly (2:09.0) and helped the 400 medley relay team to victory; and Dave Cuniff was second in the freestyle after helping the 400 medley relay team.
Injuries hamper loca I trac ksters Palomar's track and field team travels to Mira Costa today in search of its first Pacific Coast Conference dual meet victory. The Comets dropped their third meet of the season last Friday while hosting Southwestern. Palomar had double winners in Lance Ryberg and Jay Hendricks, while Berrett Francis won the high jump at 6-4. Ryberg won the 1500-meters in 4:14.0 and the 5000-meters in 15:58.7. Hendricks won the 110-meter high hurdles in 16.0 and the 400-meter intermediate hurdles in 57.7. lllnesses and injuries are plaguing the Comets this season and kept the meet with Southwestern from being closer. Palomar was without the services of multi-event athletes Kevin Miller and Chris Koon last week and sprinter John Summers damaged his hamstring in the 100meters, making him questionable for this week.
Female softballers
ference mark to 5-0. Palomar's women's tennis team continued to roll past its opponents, getting its fifth straight decision March 10 against San Diego Mesa. Singles player Kathy Orahood and Kathleen Iievers won all of their sets by perfect 6-0 scores, as did the doubles team of Rainy Nicholas and Lori Dowdy. The Comets are now 5-0 and 4-0 in Pacific Coast Conference play
Santa Monica provides the opposition tomorrow with a doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m. Joan Larson improved her softball record to 7-2 and Palomar's to 10-5 and 2-0 by pitching the Comets to an eight inning 2-1 win at Mesa. Larson has now gone 70 innings this season without yielding an earned run.
The Comets opened last week with a 9-0 blitzing of Southwestern in straight sets. Grossmont was the next 9-0 victim with straight sets in all but number one doubles action. Mesa dropped all nine points in straight sets on Thursday, but San Diego City put up a battle on Friday and won at number one singles and number one and three doubles. Palomar then caught a red-eye flight to Arizona that night and played Phoenix to a 7-2 finish and Glendale to a 9-0 victory on Saturday. The Comets have outscored their opponents, 67-5, this season and have won six matches by way ofthe 9-0 score.

Bradley James' KSM Lobos trampled the Whisky Creek(Poway) Sorrinos in softball action last Sunday 27 to 9. The Lobos attack was led by the power hitting of Matt Gross and Terry Boyd.
