Comet week fashion show set
Poetry ... personal development ... career growth . . . time management ... These and other topics will be the focus of "Workshop Saturday," November 17 at Mt. Carmel High School. "How to Write Poetry," scheduled for 9 a.m. to noon for a $5 registration fee will help unlock the poet inside. The workshop will explore sources of inspiration with "an emphasis on nature and the inner world," according to instructor Karen Kenyon. Kenyon, who teaches poetry at the college level, has authored several books, including an anthology and an autobiography. "Sign Language," 9 a.m. to noon for $5, will emphasize an understanding of the silent world language and linguistical aspects of American Sign Language. The values, behaviors, taboos, history and technologies of the American Deaf culture will be presented in similtaneous spoken English and signs. Instructor Kevin McClellan has
It will be THE fashion show. The show, slated for Wednesday, November 20 at noon in the Student Union, is just part of Comet Week, and some very special things are planned for this event. "We have some real neat things lined up for this show," said Carey Kirner, sophomore at Palomar and professional model who is serving as coordinator of the show. She will also do some modeling. "We really want this to turn out well, and I think it will."
Still, she is hoping for 25 models and has about 10, all from Palomar. "I need more people," she said. Refreshments will be offered at the show. "I'm really hoping this is going to be the best fashion show ever here," she said. "I wish a lot of people would come out and watch. It should be fun." Of course, none of this would be possible without the help offered by the different shops. "The people working with us in the stores have been really special to us. They've really helped us a lot," Kirner said. "We wanted to do this the right way, we wanted the newest stuff colors, styles, outfits. And they've helped us get them." One little twist Kirner and company are hoping to add to the event is an auctioning of clothing, which would be done by the shops. At press time, this had not been finalized. "The purpose for putting on the show," Kirner explained, "is just to show off all of the latest and newest styles of clothing. Plus, we want to make this especially good, because the fashion shows in the past haven't been too wonderful." The show to which Kirner was particularly referring was the one that was put on last year - but barely. "I was supposed to do a lot with helping out and coordinating with last year's show, but some complications came up, and I ended up not having anything to do with it. "Holly White and I were supposed to work on last year's show originally, but then I guess she decided she didn't want my help. "If the models wouldn't have pulled together at the last moment there wouldn't have even been a show at all, as bad as it was." And just how bad was it? "Well, last year, six $40 tables were broken because students couldn't see anything and had to stand on them. "We won't have that problem with this show. We'll be using bleachers from the Theater Arts department."

Weekend seminars offered to students
By Paul Taylor The glamour of Hollywood glitter, the bright lights of Broadway, it'll all come to the Palomar campus, if only for a few hours. As part of Comet Week, the Associated Student Body will be putting on a fashion show. But if all goes right, this won't be just any fashion show.
The theme for the show, Kirner said, is "Vacations". "We will go to five places around the world and model the clothing featured there." Acapulco (swim wear), Texas (western wear), San Francisco (evening wear), Colorado (ski wear) and San Diego (nautical) will be the places "visitied" during the show. In addition, various types of clothing worn on campus will also be modeled. Kirner said she was hoping for at least 25 models. Originally, she was hoping for all the models to be students at Palomar, but such will not be the case, due to demands of one of the apparel stores supplying outfits.

Instructor leaves; Earth Science classes cancelled By Sean Grady Five introductory-level classes have been dropped from the Earth Sciences division course schedule. Astronomy 1, Geology 1 and Oceanography 1 each lost one class. The Geology department lost two classes, one Physical Geography and one Cultural Geography, from its introductory lineup. The catalyst of the class cancellations was the loss of Sandra Miles, who accompanied her husband to a new jobsite. According to James Pesavento, Chairperson of Earth Sciences, Miles was scheduled to teach both astronomy and oceanography this semester, but was placed on a one-year leave of absence by Palomar officials. At the end of the year, Miles will have the option of either renewing her contract with the college or resigning. In order to cover a part of the loss, Earth Sciences hired one part-time instructor to take over Miles's Oceanography class. The rest of the problem was handled by rearranging the schedules of the regular teachers in the division and cancelling the low-enrollment

classes. When talking about the possibility of getting a new full-time teacher if Miles does resign and class enrollment increases, Pesavento said that the decision would be "up to the dean's office." In addition to Miles's absence, part of the reason for the cutback is a decrease in the number of students enrolled in Earth Sciences courses. According to Pesavento, enrollment, especially in introductory astronomy and geology, had decreased over the past few years. Advanced classes have been affected the least, varying little from the normal10 to 15 students per class. Whether or not any further classes would need to be cut, said Pesavento, "depends on the future."
Measles outbreak among college students have been occurring in alarming numbers during the past few years. This is a disease that is totally preventable by immunization. However, through neglect or other circumstances, many college-age students have missed these immunizations. Public Health is providing the immunological materials, and measles, mumps, and rubella immunizations, plus diptheria and tetanus boosters are available upon request in Student Health Services. Public Health experts recommend immunization for all who did not have a laboratory documented case (very easy to misdiagnose) or documentation of previous immunization. Persons born between 1957-67 are the target population for immunization if they have: 1)No written documentation of immunization. 2)No written documentation of titer level. Why risk being sick, missing school and/or work and exposing others unnecessarily? See Student Health Services today.
