'Butler' opens tonight By Mary Hannify

"What the Butler Saw," a contemporary British farce by Joe Orton and directed by David Boyd, begins its two weekend run tonight at 7:30 p.m. "The show is fmely tuned. It's great for a new cast," said Boyd. "I think it will be in excellent shape." The play is about a psychiatrist, Dr. Prentice (Patrick McBride), who owns his own hospital. He believes the best way to interview a girl for a job is through seduction. Geraldine Barclay (Sheila McLean) does her best to comply.

The cast includes Mrs. Prentice (Misty Cotton), a nymphomaniac; Dr. Rance (Nathan Lisle); a bellhop (William Schellenger); and one police sergeant (Don McClure). What goes on is a wild confusion of disappearances, disguises and discoveries. Other performance dates are October 25, 26, 30, 31 and November 1. All performances are at 7:30 p.m. with a 2 p.m. matinee October 26. For ticket information call the box office at 744-1150 or 727-7529, Ext. 2453.

"Operation Oink," raising pigs for underprivileged people, is the latest community service project developed by Bob Klug, Food Bank director. Three on-campus clubs and one offcampus organization have thus far donated money to "Operation Oink" The Undefeated Club (Handicapped Students Association), appropriately sold hot dogs to help. Also contributing to the cost of a pig were Alpha Gamma Sigma (Honor Society) and Diesel Technology. When Klug got a commitment from VFW Post 3795 to donate money for a pig, he had a total of four pigs at $40 each. "This is the first time I've seen this kind of thing done," said Klug. "We have campus service organizations and off-campus groups working with the Food Bank to raise high-protein food for the underprivileged." San Pasqual High School's Agriculture Department will raise the pigs. Klug is looking for donors to help with the $340 feed bill.

"I hope this sets. a precedent for other communities," commented Klug. "This is a perfect community event. Palomar will have enough meat for its people and will distribute what is left to other organizations such as EYE (Escondido Youth Encounter), St. Claire's Home, Interfaith Crisis Center and North County Centro." Orange Glen High has offered to donate produce to help the food bank. "The problem with most food banks is that you can't afford to buy meat and give it to the people who need it most. When my plan goes into effect, I'll be able to give meat, produce and all the basics. I'll bet we'll be the only food bank in the U.S. able to give out this quality of food." "My ambition is to make it the #1 food bank in the nation," said Klug. "And it doesn't cost the school a penny." To give money to this community effort, make checks payable to: Palomar College Food Bank "Operation Oink."

Patrol seeks new image By Monica Nash "We aren't a bunch of hard-nosed guys," said Boyd Mahan of Campus Patrol. "We are only trying to help. The next time you see one of us, smile!" Mahan is concerned about Campus Patrol's image. He would like to see more emphasis put on the services that Campus Patrol gives rather than the citations. Campus Patrol is comprised of criminal justice students who want a career in law enforcement. They are learning about their chosen career. Their responsibilities include jumpstarting cars, helping with lockouts and blockouts, escorting students until10 p.m. and writing tickets. "I feel there has been a lack of communication in the past," said Mahan. "Writing tickets are only a sideline with us. We have to, if someone parks in a red zone, green zone, or blocks out another car. Many are written because of complaints." The patrol building is also the location of the campus lost and found. Lost books, purses, glasses, keys . .. all end up there eventually. Many items are left unclaimed for months. For example, at one time over 200 sets of keys were waiting there for their owners. After six months, items of value are donated to the Patrons of Palomar. Security on campus is another problem that worries Mahan. "We need tighter security. It's too lax. We spend a lot of time shutting doors after teachers. We've been lucky that there's

not much crime on campus." No major crime has occured so far. Mahan did mention that there were a couple of burglaries, though. A computer was stolen out of a building where the door is always open. It was recovered thanks to a good alarm system. Another issue mentioned was an apparent lack of effort by the Palomar staff to set an example for students. "Unfortunately, I've found that staff members will break traffic rules. I even had a staff member come into my office and throw down five parking tickets he had ignored. They were

received because the staff decal was in a location not easily seen by the Patrol--almost hidden. Sometimes the staff seems to think they are not subject to the same regulations as others. "We had a staff member complain after we jump-started his car late at night. Some have made rude comments when we had to disrupt a class to deliver an emergency message to a student. I heard that an instructor recently complained to a dean about the number of students and the parking problem. The dean said, 'If it wasn't for the students everywhere, you wouldn't have a job.' That's the way I feel. We are here for the students."
