NO MORE 'BARBIE AND KEN'

Comet week replaces Homecoming tradition Homecoming Day is a thing of the past here. Instead, the ASG is sponsoring "Comet Week" which will run November 7-12. Rather than celebrating just one day, the ASG has planned a host of activities for students. Throughout the week, various individuals will be honored on campus instead of choosing a Homecoming king and queen. The ASG decided not to center the event around the traditional football game. As one ASG official said, "This year, we decided not to sponsor a Barbie and Ken doll" as Homecoming king and queen. Comet Week honorees will be nominated by club members, ASG officials and individual students. Comet Week will "kick off' on November 4, a few days early. At noon an Interclub Council picnic will be held on the lawn by the clock tower. This event is strictly for club members and promises to be a "fun time." Club members will also bring cans of food for the ASG food bank, which distrib utes food to needy students.

On November 7 Patrons Day will be the official start of Comet Week. The college will honor the Patrons this day and hold a ceremony for them in the Arboretum. The Student Union will also have live entertainment for students. On November 8 a talent show will feat ure cash prizes to the best college talent. Amateurs will strut their stuff at noon in the Student Union. On November 9 at noon, students will model the latest styles in a fall fashion show. Local stores will donate the clothes. On November 10 the ASG will host an alumni luncheon in the Timber Room on campus. This is an invitation only luncheon. Also, an eight kilometer run will be held by the flagpole. All runners will recieve a free Tee shirt. Gift certificate prizes will be pesented to winners in various categories. On November 12 the traditional Homecoming football game will be held at 1:30 p.m. at San Marcos High School. The Comet Week honorees will WHO'S HAPPY NOW? - Oliver Hajjeys cntkaJJy be seated together at the game when acclaimed, offBroadway Jut is now playing at tile Palomar College Theatre with ffnal performances Palomar faces Saddleback.

KSM 99 seeks exposure; features DJs, live remotes By Ch ris KSM FM 99, the college radio station is "exposing itself." Live remotes, personal appearances by KSM disc jockeys from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Student Union, began October 20, and will continue one per week, for the rest of the year. The station hopes to in troduce students to KSM, obtain feedback and student participation, which was "minim al but positive" for the first show according to Terry Boyd, the show's producer. "We had the usual first-time -youdo-anything problems," said Johnny Z, the featured DJ. ''Things will go more smoothly as the year progresses though." ''The live remotes adhere to our format," said Boyd. "We try and stick to alternative rock, but we honor any student requests that we get." Records that were played during the show inc lude: t h e Plimsouls, the Squeeze and the Untouchables.

Reynolds "More and more people are listening to us, so we're getting some exposure," said Joe Sage, who does the morning shift on Tuesdays from 8-11 a.m. Student remarks seem to bear this out. "We like the station," commented one student. ''They play good music and are really good about requests." "I can't get it where I live," said another, "but I like the music." Another promotion method KSM employs in its live remotes is "giveaways." Tee- shirts, albums and concert tickets for Joey Harrison and the Speedsters were given away to some students. ''The time slot for live remotes will remain the same, but the days will rotate," said Sage. The schedule for live remotes will be: October 28, October 31, November 8, November 16, November 23, December 1, December 9, December 12, J anuary 3, January 11, January 19.

~Elephant By Polly Filanc Auditions for Bernard Pomerance's ''The Elephant Man" are scheduled for November 1 and 2 at 7:30 p.m. in the Performance Lab. The auditions are open to the public and "nothing is pre-cast", according to David Boyd, technical director. ''There will be between eight to 20 roles available, depending on the turnout strength of the auditions," adds Boyd. This Tony Award winning drama is a stylistic recounting of the life of Joseph Merrick, called the Elephant Man because of his gross physical deformities. His humanity and sensitivity are revealed through a series of events beginning with his sanctuary at a London Hospital, his socialization through to the end of his life. The principle characters include Merrick; Fredrick Teves, Merrick's doc-

Gameffeld Design Committee (Jell) and George Cordry, represen tative of the college Alumni Association. The p ubliC is inVIted to attend tile formal dediCation cerem onies scheduled for 10 a.m. on Saturday, October 29. ( Photo by Susan Green)

Man' auditions set tor; Mrs. Kendal, actress; Ross, Merrick's keeper in a freak show; and Dr. Gomb, who runs the London Hospital. "Because some of the parts are small, we may have to double-up," says Boyd. "But I prefer not to, because I am hoping to provide more oppurtunities for beginning actors. "Auditioners will not need to pre-

pare since the auditions will be cold readings." Boyd explains that his version will be different than the movie version in that the Elephant Man will not be made up. ''The style is more abstract. It will be done by suggestion, rather than creating a monster type guy.'

Vandals molest, shred Playboy centerfolds By Sarah Grimes Although the library will continue to subscribe to Playboy, the back issues of the magazine have been removed from the library's periodical stacks. "It has nothing to do with censorship," according to Alexis Ciurczak, library director. ''The magazines have been ripped to shreds, decimated. There is nothing left of the magazines.'' Joann Roake, reference librarian concurred. "I'd pull out these motheaten, mutilated magazines from the stacks. They were falling apart." Besides Playboy, the library reports that other magazines including Car and Driver, Sports Illustrated and People have also been torn apart by vandals. But librarians agree that the Playboy collection has been "the most mutilated." "There wasn't one centerfold left in any of our back issues. Wh en you tear out the center, you destroy the magazin e," said Ciurczak. The destruction of certain materials is a relatively new problem in the library. Before moving to the new build ing, back issues of magazines were available on ly by request. In the new library, there is an open stack policy, where students and li brary patrons have free access to the periodical reference collection . This accessability has led to an increase in vandalism and destruction of library materials. Ciurczak warned that the library may not renew its subscription to Playboy when it expires in December of 1984. "We don 't have th e money to pay for magazines and not be able to use them.

We can't afford subscriptions to magazine covers." The library director stresses that "People should have access to information. Unfortunately, people don't have access if the information is in 400 pieces." While the library is considering putting Playboy on microfilm , budget con straints may make that impossible. "It would solve the problem," said Ciurczak. But usually a magazine is not available to libraries unless they also continue to subscribe to the period ical.

ASG sponsors forum for board candidates Eleven candidates for the Palomar Board of Trustees came on campus to campaign last Octoberl9. The ASG sponsored a "Meet the Candidates" forum "so students could be informed of the candidates' views and goals," accord ing to Leonard Flagg, ASG pres id ent. Three board seats are in co ntention this year. Under a blazing noon day sun on the front quad area of the Student Union, candidates responded one by one to questions from the student audience. Because of the number of candidates and the one hour time limit of the forum , on ly fou r questions were posed to the candidates. For a summary of eac h cand idate, please see page 3.
