Inside job alleged

By Larry Boi!ijolie

Three television sets and a VCR were among items stolen from the Life Sciences and staff buildings on the weekend of October 30 through November 2 in what authorities speculate is an inside operation.

The sets anl\ VCR have an estimated value of $1000 according to sources.

Also stolen during the weekend were a number of portable radios and $100 in checks from the office of Richard Muchow.

Helicopter makes unscheduled stop But do they need a parking permit?

That was one question asked by the crew aboard a Life Flight helicopter that landed safely in parking lot nine a .week ago Thursday night. There was no patient in the helicopter at the time of the landing and none of the four people on board was ilijured.

Pilot Dave Boden, nurses Tory Boyle and Debbie Couillard, and paramedic Alan Norfolk made the unexpected 7:55 p.m. landing when Boden found himself low on fuel and unable to land at Palomar Airport because of fog.

The craft, a medical transport helicopter stationed at Palomar Airport, was headed back to the airport after a late call to carry a cardiac patient from Jacaumba to AMI Hospital in El Cajon. At the time of the landing here they were already an hour past the scheduled crew change.

The medical personnel were returned to the airport by automobile and the helicopter was moved after the fog cleared later that evening.

Boyd Mahan, supervisor of the Campus Patrol, says he has no plans to issue the helicopter a parking ticket.

"They can park here anytime they want to."

visor, said no force was used to gain entry into the locked rooms. "I believe a key was used to get inside the buildings," he said.

According to Mahan, at least two keys were used in the weekend's thefts.

"A lot of people have keys, so it is not easy to pin down who might have gotten into the rooms. Our key rules are really very lax."

Hardest hit by the burglaries was the Life Sciences Department which suffered the loss of the video equipment.

"The TV's and the VCR were the property of the Life Sciences," said Ralph Ferges, head of the Life Sciences Department. "There is no money to replace the stolen equipment...it was not insured.n Ferges believes the crime was committed by someone who "knew what he wanted."

"The equipment remains in the room at all times. Whoever committed the crime knew that it was there. They knew where to hit. n Gaining access to a master key is not unusual, commented Mahan.

Many staff members and maintenance workers carry keys along with Campus Patrol personnel and custodians. In addition, a key may be lost or a staff member may inadvertantly leave his keys in the door.

"It's possible that someone knows someone who has keys and used them to gain entry into the rooms," said Mahan.

Also affected in the weekend's theft was Richard Muchow, associate professor of Business Education.

Muchow, whose office was broken into, had over $100 in personal checks taken from his desk "The checks were from stuuents wishing to go on a field trip. I had to make up the lost money out of my own pocket," he said.

In recent weeks other break-ins have been reported on campus. A highly sensitive electronic balance was taken from a laboratory in the Life Sciences Department.

"The balance is very accurate and

burglary was probably taken to weigh drugs.

It also has a good resale value," said Craig Johnson, laboratory technician for the life sciences.

The cost of the balance was over $1000 and no sign of forceable entry was noticed at the scene of the crime.

Some past experiences with theft on campus were due to unlocked offices said Mahan.

"In this case (the most recent burglaries) too many rooms were hit.

It is very doubtful that so many rooms were left unlocked."

Mahan is turning the case over to the sheriffs office for further investigation. Locks will be changed in the affected areas to help prevent further thefts.

Also taken were several transistor radios from staff offices.

Three exhibits in the Boehm Gallery have become part of a controversy involving claims from Art Department instructor Bob Freeman that the works are "racist" and even "pornographic."

The works in question are part of the latest show in the gallery that has been set-up especially for Palomar College students. All of the works were done by current or graduate students from San Diego State University and University of California at San Diego.

"I'm making this as a formal complaint as a private citizen," Freeman told The Telescope. "This (the art works) is an insult to me as a war veteran and as an American Indian.

They don't have any business insulting me."

The works in question are: a painting that depicts the American flag upside down, a series of black and white photos in a "totempole" like succession with black people on the bottom row, American Indians and Mexican-Americans in the middle rows and white people in the top row and a painting of a woman masturbating.

Boehm Gallery director Louise Kirtland has suggested that Freeman is approaching the works on an emotional level and refuses to attempt to understand what the artists are trying to project in their works.

"I'm trying not to be controversial.

We're trying to get some understanding about visual art. It makes us use our brains," Kirtland said.

Kirtland sees the controversy as being good for the campus. She said it will get students to engage in dialogue about the works and hopefully understand the artists intentions.

Freeman has taken on the issue alone, but says that there are other faculty members on campus who agree with him. He would not name

ASG head resigns; cites lack of support

By Tom Fitzpatrick Associated Student Government president Shawn Clark resigned at the end of the November 11 ASG Senatorial meeting, citing the lack of support from senate members and personal reasons.

His replacement will be the third ASG presid ent since presidential elections were held last May. Clark refused comment, but members of the senate and Frank Hankin, advisor, expressed shock and disappointment.

"I'm very surprised," said senator Cathy Freeman. "I didn't ever expect anything like this and I don't think anybody else did."

"I think we lost something when we lost our president today," she said.

Senator Andrew Gigliotti commented that he was "extremely angry bee <~ """' T iliiln't think it was

anyone saying, "They are in fear of losing their jobs if they come forward in support of me."

Freeman's statement contradicts the Palomar College guidelines for communication, a policy instituted by the Governing Board.

The policy states that any member of the campus community with a concern, complaint or a question is able to take their concern to any campus administrator, the Governing Board and even to the president of the college, without fear of reprimand.

Freeman also reported that at least one veteran's organization and some churches plan to take some kind of action. to see that the works are removed form the gallery.

Reaction from campus administrators and the Governing Board have been in support of the displays.

The Governing Board took an impromptu tour of the gallery after their November 10 meeting and found nothing questionable about the works.

"It's a basic judgment of freedom and expression," Dr. George Boggs, Superintendent/ President said. "It's also a matter of interpretation. It's probably good to have some controversy, it gets students engaged in dialogue."

Most campus officials agree that Freeman is approaching the art works from an emotional front and that he should try and understand what the artists concepts are.

Angelo Carli, dean of Community Education and the administrator in charge of the gallery said "She (Louise Kirtland) informed me about the rationale of the works. She certainly educated me on what the artists were trying to do. n But Freeman countered and said "We must draw the line at some point.

They have the freedom to show what they want in the gallery, but I have the right to complain. I'm still mad.

I'm going to fight this."

necessary."

According to Hankin, Clark had spoken about quitting earlier. "I had a meeting with Shawn approximately a week and a half ago in which he had discussed the possibility of resigning," Hankin said in an interview held November 11.

"He had some personal problems with some of the people in the senate that were causing some bad feelings.

He told me at the time that he would not resign without letting me know about it."

Senators Suzie Yankton and Mary Bagshaw refused comment on the resignation, while senators Chris Cl\ristman and Lisa Cannon could not be contacted by press time.

Under rules of the constitution, form er ASG vice president Mary Reynaga became president. She is the third to hold the job, usually a yearlong post, in seven months.

Emotions like homesickness and loneliness were painstakingly transformed into art, so others could feel as she feels.

But a new emotion was introduced to Elizabeth Inwalski, the emotion associated with loss.

Three works of art created by Inwalski were stolen from a wall in C-4 on the night of November 10.

Two of the pictures depicted feelings associated with Inwalski's homeland, loneliness and homesickness.

The third work depicts what Inwalski feels now. Anger.

"The pictures were outstanding," said Rita White, instructor for the Art 6 class in which Inwalski is enrolled.

"I can't understand why anyone would take them."

Student Mary Ellen Davis believed the pictures were taken for profit.

"They were that good," she said.

The entire class is organizing a fund to build a reward for information leading to the return of the artworks.

"We will handle the situation in confidence if the person responsible steps forward," said White. "We'll take the pictures back with no questions asked."

In the meantime, Inwalski ¡continues to wonder why someone would steal her works. The picture on homesickness held special meaning to her.

"She's been literally crying buckets about it," said White. "I hope the person who took the pictures comes forward soon."

~~~~4Hrt~++Y-'--+-tvtt-t1t"~campus seismogram shows Whittier temblor;~

Dr. Spear cites North County quake possibilityThe fault is potentially dangerous due to the composition of the ground on which downtown is built.

By Larry Boitdolie

California is a state on the move ... literally.

In the aftershock of the Whittier temblor, concerns over earthquakes are high throughout the state and millions now live in fear that the "big one" will come and leave their lives in ruin.

Dr. Steven Spear, associate professor for the Earth Sciences department, is the resident expert on earthquakes and predicts the "big one" will occur in the next few years.

"It will hit sometime in the morning during the spring between Anza and Palmdale."

According to Dr. Spear, the quake will take place along the San Andreas fault and will range from 8.0 to 8.5 on the Richter scale.

"The Whittier earthquake (5.9) was not a big quake. Anything over 7.5 is considered a large earthquake," said Dr. Spear.

In urban areas a quake ranging from 5.5 to 7.5 has the potential to be dangerous. Buildings built before 1971 were not subjected to the strict building regulations that are imposed today.

"San Diego won't be as affected as other places in the event of a miJjor earthquake," said Dr. Spear. "Much of the Whittier damage was because the buildings were older."

Dr. Spear doesn't believe that San Diego will be the site of the "big one" because of the lack of large active fault lines in the area.

"The nearest big fault is the San Jacinto fault with the nearest point to San Diego in Borrego. A big qulike on that fault will affect San Diego.

However I don't see it doing much damage here."

One fault of concern to San Diegans is the Rose Canyon fault, which is responsible for several small quakes in the area. The fault line runs parallel to Interstate 5 and proceeds southward into the downtown area of San Diego.

"Much of the area is built on trace soil and loose ground," cites Dr. Spear.

"A quake at 6.5 could be disasterous."

Dr. Spear further points out that there is no recent history of miJjor quakes on the Rose Canyon fault so the potential for a "big one" there is low.

Near the San Onofre nuclear power plant lies the Christianitos fault.

Although the fault hasn't moved in 400,000 years, evidence of earth movement is clearly visible. Future movement is unlikely.

"There are hundreds of little faults beneath North County," said Dr. Spear.

"However, it is built between miJjor fault zones on solid ground."

In the event of an earthquake, Dr. Spear says there is little to be done.

'The Whittier earthquake was not a big quake.

Anything over 7.5 is considered a large quake.'

"The time to act is within the first few seconds of the quake. Getting under a doorway is great in theory, but once the earthquake is underway it is very difficult to move. It is best to stay where you are."

Dr. Spear advises that afterwards it is best to stay "Indoors if you are indoors when the quake strikes" and "outdoors if you are outdoors." Aftershocks are likely to hit, so moving may cause a hazard.

Being prepared when an earthquake strikes is the most important element in avoiding injuries.

"Think ahead," advises Dr. Spear.

"There are five things you can do to minimize quake damage."

"First, live away from fault zones."

Shock waves come from the focus of a quake which is located somewhere along the fault line. As the distance from the focus increases, the intensity of the shock waves decreases.

North County is not close to any miJjor faults so, according to Dr. Spear,

residents are relatively safe from miJjor intensity earthquakes.

Next, Dr. Spear suggests houses not be built on flat land.

"Flat land is flat because it is composed of loose sediment, sand or gravel. These components vibrate more and increase quake intensity."

Much more damage was done in the Mexico City earthquake than would have otherwise been incurred if it was built on more solid ground.

Downtown San Diego is also built on loose ground and stands a greater chance of sustaining damage in the event of a miJjor quake than North County, which is built on granite.

Another danger, although unusual, associated with loose sediment is ground liquefaction. During a miJjor quake vibrations can cause loose ground to actually liquify. Ground liquification was noted in the Mexico City earthquake.

"Live in a decent house," Dr. Spear continues. "Adobe, brick and masonry homes can fall apart during a quake.

"The brick and the cement which holds it together vibrate at different frequencies. The difference in vibrations can cause a house to literally break apart."

Brick houses built after 1971 have metal reinforcing, due to stricter building codes. These houses are safer than non-reinforced brick houses and stand less of a chance of breaking up.

Wood houses are best due to flexibility. Wood vibrates in a more uniform manner than adobe or masonry thereby minimizing structural damage.

Even though the fairy tale pig with the brick house was safe from the wolf, the pig with the wood house would fare best in an earthquake.

"Avoid high shelving or placing heavy objects high," advises Dr. Spear.

"I myself am guilty of having stereo speakers high on my wall."

In the event o{ a quake, heavY objects tend to topple from shelves due to a high center of gravity. It is best to keep heavier objects closer to the ground where less damage can be done.

"Finally," Dr. Spear mentions, "have a flashlight and a family plan ready.

Arrange a meeting place if a quake strikes. Have an escape route preplanned."

A battery operated radio is recommended for keeping in touch with breaking news. Often times a quake will cut off electrical supplies. A transistor radio may be the only way to find emergency centers and help.

It is also important to keep a few days' supplyoffood and water handy.

"More than a few days really isn't necessary," said Dr. Spear.

What you do after a quake is just as important as what you do before a quake.

Post-quake fires generally cause more damage than the quake itself.

The great San Francisco temblor was followed by an even greater fire, .according to Dr. Spear.

"Turn off the gas inside your house.

Also fill the bathtub with water immediately. Quakes may rupture the pipes and cause mud to seep into the lines."

Dr. Spear stresses remaining where you are after a quake. Frequently a large quake is followed by aftershocks.

Moving around can place you in unexpected danger.

In explaining earthquake causes, Dr. Spear relates the earth to an egg.

"The crust is like the shell of an egg; the mantle like the white and the core is like the yolk."

"The mantle (white) moves slowly, constantly and builds stresses which cause the crust (shell) to break. The crust is composed of plates that connect at fault lines."

When an earthquake occurs the entire plate doesn't move, rather it pivots on a point. The point of pivoting is known as the focus.

'A 6.5 quake releases more energy than all the nuclear energy in the world.'

"Quake intensity is measured by the depth of the focus and the distance to the epicenter. Rock type and ground water also contribute to intensity," said Dr. Spear.

The goal of seismologists is to predict earthquakes and tremors with the accuracy with which meteorologists predict weather. As of yet this goal has not been realized.

"Most common earthquake signs have been noticed only after the fact.

Radon emissions from ground water

are usually higher. Tidal pulls also are a contributing factor," stated Dr. Spear.

Earthquakes also occur with a fairly consistent frequency. Many predict the San Andreas is ready to erupt based on this factor.

Due to these elements, some quakes have been predicted within a month of activity. As of yet, however, regular accuracy in predictions has not been reached.

"It may be dangerous to be able to accurately predict earthquakes," said Dr. Spear. "I can envision panic arising out of the news of a large upcoming quake."

Nevertheless, Dr. Spear believes a "big one" is due.

Here at Palomar, a seismograph is used to measure Richter scale readings of larger tremors.

"The Richter scale is a reading of energy released at the focus," said Dr. Spear. "Each step on the scale is ten times higher than the previous step.

A 6.5 quake releases more energy than all the nuclear energy in the world."

The Palomar seismograph is capable of picking up any earthquake in the world over 5.0. A complete record is kept of all the larger quakes.

"The seismogragh here is the best in the county," said Dr. Spear. "It is located further away from freeway noises and vibrations than others."

Dr. Spear is also the president of The California Earthquake Society.

The private club takes a semihumorous approach to quake study and offers, among other things, the right to attend the earthquake of your choice.

But don't worry, it probably won't be in North County.

As devastating as it seemed, the Whittier earthquake at 5.9 on the Richter scale was not a miJjor quake.

Volleyballers see chances fade

By Robin Rauch

Chances at a slot in the regional playoffs are slim for the women's volleyball team after a disappointing loss to Mesa College last Friday at the Mesa gym.

The match went five games, with scores for Palomar and Mesa being 615, 10-15, 16-14, 16-14,10-15.

Mesa and Palomar are now tied for second place in the Pacific Coast Conference. It is that second place position which will send one of those teams to the regionals.

"Our starting six were a little off, and Mesa was very psyched up to beat us," says coach Teri McFarland of Friday's match.

By "little off," McFarland might mean the 18 missed serves, the six nets called on blocks, or the 11% and 13% hitting by her two top players.

The coach, however, doesn't criticize

Grapplers garner fifth in tourney

By Scott Lane

Despite losing eight athletes from wh;J.t is already one of the youngest teams in the state, coach John Woods' wrestling team has continued to perform impressively this season.

Last weekend Palomar competed in the Cal-Poly Tournament in San Luis Obispo where they finished fifth out of 16 teams. The Comets sent only eight wrestlers to the tournament and all of them placed in the top six.

Mike Saletta (136 pounds) placed third and showed improvement by beating two wrestlers who had beaten him previously.

John Nelson (142) finished fourth, Glen Clutter (167) took second, and Raab Rydeen (190) was third.

Winning the tournament was Lassen, followed by Rio Hondo, Golden West, Moorpark and then Palomar.

The Comets ran their dual meet record to 6-3 by beating Mt. San Antonio 23-16 November 16.

Andre Bartlett (128), Mike Saletta (136), Mark Fredricks (152), Manuel Diaz-Conti (160), Clutter (169), and Mike Butler (heavyweight) were all winners for Palomar.

"We're still improving," says coach Woods of his team. "We need to get all of our people wrestling in their best weight class, and we should do really well."

Coach Woods is expecting two heavyweights to come out after football season ends. So far this season the Comets have lost three heavyweights to knee and broken leg injuries.

The wrestling team will travel to San Luis Obispo once again this weekend for the North-South All Stars tournament.

her starting six so much as she praises ,her freshmen, who came off the bench to save them in the third and fourth games.

"The people who had the most experience just didn't do it for us," says McFarland. "It was the freshmen who came in and saved the show."

After two games in which Mesa took the lead early on and never let go, McFarland decided to make some changes in the line-up.

She changed the mood in game three by putting in freshman Amy Kleinfeldt whom she praised as doing an excellent job for the team.

Kleinfeldt, who hasn't seen much game time, played a clean game with few errors.

The game was close right up to the end. Palomar seemed finally to be getting into the match, with sophomore Sherry Flick serving an ace to win the game 16-14.

In the fourth game it looked like Palomar was falling apart again, with Mesa leading 9-1 early in the action.

But with the help of consistent play by freshmen Jiffy McFalls and Kleinfeldt, the team began to catch up, eventually tying the game at 11.

There was an abundance of errors and kills on both sides, and the game continued to be close as the score reached 14-all.

It was at that point that McFarland put in freshman Linda Koach, a player who has seen little action this year.

Koach came straight off the bench to serve an ace, bringing the score to 1514.

Koach served once again, and the fourth game was won on a well-placed tip by Flick.

The fifth game was tense, with second place and a spot in the regionals on the line for both teams.

Mesa took the lead right away, and brought the score to 9-3 quickly.

At this point, however, Mesa was penalized for being out of rotation, and it was a side-out for Palomar.

It was a chance for the Comets to turn it around, but they didn't do it.

They nearly caught Mesa at 10-9, but continued to make unforced errors and never tied the score.

The match was riddled with errors right to the end, as Palomar passed an out-serve to give Mesa their fourteenth point, and then went into the net to lose the game 15-10.

McFarland attributes the loss to too many errors and to nervousness on the part of her players.

Now Palomar is at a disadvantage in the struggle for second, since they must take on undefeated Grossmont College before the season ends. Mesa, on the other hand, will play the two last-place teams in the league.

According to McFarland, it is unlikely that Mesa will lose one oftheir two remaining matches, so it was up to Palomar to beat Grossmont if they want second place in the league.

Win or lose, McFarland praised the team for their good season.

In their final league game, the women host MiraCosta College tonight at 7 p.m. It is a match McFarland expects to win easily.

With hopes all but obliterated for a spot in the championships, the Comets water polo squad approaches season's end.

After suffering his team's second loss to S.D. Mesa in a must-win situation October 23, coach Greg Ormsby said, "Mesa's two meter man played very well and our defense wasn't able to stop him.

"We got behind by two or three points, played even and couldn't catch up."

Ormsby's expression quickly brightened when discussing the 14-13 win against Citrus October 30.

Kickers end losing year

By David Mounier

Although the men's soccer team posted a winless season, Coach John Barbosa praised his players saying, "They showed lots of character and never gave up during a game."

The Comets closed out the season, losing to Mesa College, 5-0 on November 1, and absorbing a 4-0 loss against San Diego City on November 4.

Barbosa captained the 1982 Comet soccer team, and later was elected to the All-Conference team while attending Humboldt State. In his first year as head coach, Barbosa described the 1-1 tie against Cuyamaca in league action as the highlight of a dismal season, explaining that Cuyamaca is listed as the sixth team in the state,and that the deadlock proved to be "a moral victory."

Of this year's kicker squad, Barbosa singled out co-captain Pedro Enciso and John Hadjis, Chris Willyard, Fausto Saurini and Manny Estrada as standout performers. Saurini and Estrada will be lost to next year's team, due to graduation. Gone too will be, Chris Hamil and Steve Hancock.

By Brad Cesmat Keith Jarrad threw touchdown passes of34, 22, and 25 yards to Junior Tataloa as Orange Coast College defeated Palomar, 37-23, in its homecoming game last Saturday night.

The Pirates, ranked fifth in the state, improved to 7-1 in conference play.

The Comets fell to 3-4-1 in the conference.

Offensively, the Comets rolled up 412 yards to Orange Coast's 380, but three turnovers proved to be costly.

Brent Watson threw for two touchdowns and ran for another to lead Palomar.

Watson completed 27 of 38 passes for 297 yards, but along with his two scoring passes he tossed two interceptions.

The Comets' wide receiver Bill Edwards was on the end of one of Watson's scoring passes- a 24 yard strike in the fourth quarter.

The Telescope, Friday, November 20, 1987

AIDS policy postponed For the third time, the Palomar Governing Board has postponed adopting an AIDS policy.

Student Health Services director Clarice Hankins had forwarded two possible policies for the Board to adopt. Hankins, at the request of the Board, had assembled a committee of medical experts to draft a policy for the Board's approval.

But at its November 10 meeting, Board member Ralph Forquera presented a new version of the two policies for the Board's inspection.

"I think that the two proposed policies were verbose," Forquera said to the Board.

He also said his policy defined some terms and condensed information from the two other possible policies.

All three of the policies state that "Palomar College does not discriminate against persons with HIV infection, with AIDS, or AIDS-related medical conditions in terms of admission to the college...or in decisions involving employment and employee status."

The Governing Board is expected to adopt one of the policies at its regular meeting on November 24 at 7 p.m. in the Student Service Center conference room.

Publicity doesn't faze Kirtland

By Fred Tracey

With pickets threatening, reporters calling and television cameras rolling, Louise Kirtland still enjoys her job overseeing the Boehm Gallery.

Kirtland is in her second year as director and associate professor in the Art Department. The present show at the gallery, MFA/UCSD, SDSU, has drawn criticism from fellow instructor Bob freeman.

"It's very interesting," Kirtland said about the controversy." One can expect some reaction at times. Hopefully, understanding will follow."

The Boehm Gallery is the only gallery in the North County area. It's reputation goes beyond the cities' borders. It's known throughout the county and throughout the country.

"The gallery has a fine reputation in the community," Kirtland said.

Comet keglers perform

By David Monnier Age knows no barrier.

Ranging in yearsfrom18-to-65, the Palomar College Bowlers League display their talents at Escondido's Palomar Lanes every Tuesday at 2 p.m.

Under the supervision of instructor Vern Ellison, where 32 keglers are involved, such team names as Shady Characters, Hangers Inc., Pinheads and Just Above Average are in evidence.

"There is no cost to the students to bowl," said Ellison, adding that the use of the lanes, bowling ball and shoes are contracted between the college and the bowling center.

Grades for the Comets bowlers are based on participation. "A team member must be present," said Ellison,

stressing that "There are eight 4people teams, and if a member is not present, it can cost a team 10 pins."

Ellison emphasized the importance of participating, reasoning that 10 pins a game in a three game set, totals 30 pins, "the difference between winning and losing."

Earning one and a half units for a semester's efforts, Ellison said, "It's different, mostly an organizational thing," explaining that all of the good bowlers cannot be placed on one team, "but have to be balanced out."

Besides heading the Comets keglers, a part of the Physical Education Department, Ellison also instructs racquet ball, advanced first aid and CPR, a Red Cross sanctioned class.

a quality image. Palomar's a really fme school. I think that's true in the Music Department and visual arts."

Due to budget constraints, Kirtland has featured artists from the San Diego area. Her annual budget is about $5,000. Finding new sources of revenue, through grants is one of Kirtland's goals.

The current show has been especially designed to show Palomar's art students what they could do if they were to transfer on to San Diego State University or University of California at San Diego. All of the works are done by students from these institutions.

"The show is a re-emphasis on the goals of the college," Kirtland said.

"This show is for our students here to expose them to what they could possibly do on the four-year level."

The gallery received even more attention when in November of 1985, the gallery displayed works from the "Star Wars" movies, done by Palomar graduate Phil Tippett. The display featured actual models of the robots and other items used in the films.

Kirtland likes to talk about the gallery . Her enthusiasm exemplifies her duties in the gallery. She is responsible for obtaining all of the works in the show and for the transporting of the works to and from the gallery.

"I love seeing the stuff up on the wall. I want this place to be alive!"

The new bookdrop, located near the main campus entrance was donated by the "Friends of Palomar College IJbrary."

Indians host povv-vvovv The American Indian Organization (AIO) will host a benefit powwow and Native American fair in the Student Union on Saturday, November 21, at 2 p.m. and continuing into the evening.

The inter-tribal celebration will begin with a demonstration by the Native American gourd dancers, followed at dusk by a traditional Native American group-game played around a fire called the "peon" game. The authentic powwow will begin at 6 p.m. with the "Grand Enterance" of the "Head Man Dancer" and the "Head Woman Dancer."

Throughout the day, Native American foods will be offered and arts and

crafts booths will show and sell authentic Indian works. A free doorprize drawing will be held in the evening.

Admission to the celebration is free.

All proceeds from the sale of the traditional foods and artwork will go to support future AIO projects and programs.

The AIO consists of Palomar students, alumni and local community members. It serves as a liaison between the local Indian community and the general community. The organization is advised by the American Indian Studies department of Palomar College.

Work project offered Cooperative Education has become popular among college students. Palomar students follow this trend since hundreds of them take Cooperative Education each semester.

This is a program which gives working students an opportunity to develop three work-related areas and project them to a goal. However, the benefits of Cooperative Education go far beyond this.

Mack Wiebe, coordinator of Cooperative Education, explains that the program provides an outstanding employer/ student association, as well as serving as a good reference point for further employment.

Students provide an interesting challenge for their Cooperative Education instructors because of their occupational diversity. The North County area provides 'students with a wide variety of jobs to choose from.

Wiebe sums up his description of Cooperative Education by saymg that it is a program geared to obtaining real learning experience out on a job and that "if you want a lot out of it, you can do it."

Anyone interested in enrolling in Cooperative Education for next semester and needing information should visit the Cooperative Education Office between the hours of 8 a.m. and 7p.m.

How can a mother successfully handle the many demands of rearing children? And what new challenges are waiting around the corner as she and her child grow?

"Mom's Morning Out," a new class to be introduced at Camp Pendleton by the Palomar College Child Development Department, will provide practical answers to these questions while students develop feelings about their maternal role.

The class is designed to help improve maternal self-esteem, resulting in improved self-esteem for other family members. Education in the areas of child development, discipline, punishment and toilet training will answer some of the most-often-asked questions.

Discussion and information will aid parents in formulating realistic expectations for their children as well as assistance in parent-child bonding. A hands-on cooking class will allow moms and children to work together to create nutritiously sound foods for the family.

Free child care will be available near the class site for children of class participants.

According to the class instructor, students will be assisted in forming their own educational support group.

This will enable them to keep in touch
