"Sometimes I think this job is a bizarre punishment, but usually I enjoy it." Stephen Greenlee in referring to his role as president of Associated Student Body. He is concerned about the lack of awareness of what his job entails. "Nobody tells me what I have to do, I just do it. It can be easy or tough. I'd rather make it tough. My job is to go to school and look out for students' interests at the same time. Students will sometimes get the short end of the stick, and not even know about it." Greenlee's priority is to inform students of all the changes and developments that can affect them.

LIGHTING, COLOR ADDED

Interior Design expands By Fred Tracey

Increased enrollment, a new instructor and classroom give the Interior Design program in the Family and Consumer Sciences Department a new look this year. With their own classrooms, the Interior Design and Fashion Merchandising programs will be able to complete and display student projects. Before, classes either met in a classroom of another department or off campus. Now students will be able to be closer to the library and their other classrooms without having to travel back and forth between Palomar and the Family Studies Center on Mulberry Drive. Lori Graham is the Interior Design program coordinator. With the

improvements of the classroom situation and good enrollment, she is looking forward to this year. "The program that I teach is really growing because of the growth in North County. People's awareness in design makes them more interested in their own interior. So my classes are really big and they are growing t remendously." Because of the many different avenues of the interior design program, students must complete different and varied courses. One class that has been added is a course in light and color. "That's one of the big things that's happening in design," Graham explains. "We've discovered that there is a whole new world out there as far as lighting is concerned." Adding to the instruction in the classroom, Graham is scheduling workshops, field trips, guest lectures, and even a trip to China and Hong Kong in the summer of 1987. She is excited about the 1987 venture and has been preparing for it all summer.

The tour of study includes carpet, silk and textile factories. The trip will culminate into a summer school course worth three units of credit. The trip is intended for the serious design student interested in architecture, decorative arts and the textiles of China and Hong Kong. Some students are holding positions in the interior design field, but have entered Palomar to enrich their knowledge. Graham reports that there are more job openings than ever before in the field of interior·design. One of her responsibilities is to inform students about job openings which employers my have. She frequently has employers asking for students to fill positions. Graham attributes the rise (Continued on page 3)

"Last spring the administration talked about putting asterisks on instructor's rosters, next to the names of those students with a 'C' average or less. The idea was considered in an effort to alert instructors to students who may need more help, but it could subconsciously cause the teacher to give a lower grade. I don't think that students were aware that this was under discussion." Greenlee says that he feels unappreciated by the administration at times. His stipend for sitting on the Board of Trustees was dropped from the $250 a month that the previous ASB president got, to $100 a month. "Maybe the last president didn't convey the amount of work necessary. Sometimes I feel demeaned because I am a student. Can't a student be as concerned about the college? I may be only 19 years old, but I'm not stupid. "I would like to look back 40 years from now and know that I did something good for Palomar." According to Greenlee, student governments in the past suffered from a lack of self-esteem. Many students don't realize the amount ofmoneythat the ASB donates to the different organizations on campus, or the work devoted to events. "All the money we get goes back to the students. We felt that the night students weren't being recognized, so we have plans to offer them free coffee monthly. Not only did the ASB donate the TV in the student lounge, it has also helped the child care facility and the tutoring center." In addition, Greenlee mentioned that the ASB bought carpeting for the student lounge, put plants in the student union, installed the LED in the union, and purchased all the benches and umbrellas in front. They also provide the video games in the game room. "We are giving $38,000 to instructional-related programs. These include The Telescope, Women's Center, Student Health Center, the Arboretum, money for scholarships, the student-run radio station KKSM, the Speech team , drama, dance, the Counseling Department, commencement, the Bravura, Boehm Gallery and the ICC. 'The amount of programs and activities we put on outshines most other community colleges. The Food Bank was established by the ASB. Now other colleges are starting them everywhere." Greenlee believes that, "With the opportunity and inclination, Palomar students have enormous potential. Unfortunately, they seem too apathetic to realize this. Out of 15,000 students, only 85 voted for me last spring."
