Minority hiring efforts reviewed By Kathy Hines Staff Writer In compliance with the state ruling that mandates a 30 percent increase in minority employment of community college staff and fac: ulty, the Governing Board invited KarenGrosz,amemberoftheCalifornia Community College Governing Board, to review Palomar's Affirmative Action efforts. The subject of the April 3 Governing Board meeting was Assembly Bill 1725, the Education Code that emphasizes affirmative action. The meeting was held in order to iron out flaws in the Palomar proposals before July 1, the deadline for the California Education Code Section 87743. At the Board Meeting, Grosz dissected Palomar's plans for affinnative action, stressing that the hiring of minorities is a "goal," and not just a "quota." Although she complemented the work put into the tentative drafts, she constructively pointed out the loose ends of the extensive propos-
als and explained how affirmative action would be more effective. Grosz recommended that Palomar polish up certain details, like making applicants feel more welcome, applying a more aggressive approach to hiring minorities, and making sure that applicants are not ranked when their names are sent in to the hiring board. To illustrate her point, Grosz called attention to the Hiring Comm iLLee' s procedures. To begin with, she stated that the recruitment part of the draft was thin. Palomarnccds to aggressively seek out minorities to fill job vacancies, she said. "It (the school) needs more guidelines to determine an acceptable pool. Value is given to ethnicity in that affirmative action is set as a goal, but is not made real in supportiveness," she added. Grosz does not think that we will get "token colors" when Palomar hires applicants. She said, "to blind-fold the hiring committee would defeat the goal of affinnative

By Mark Hopkins Editor-in-Chief Disagreement over the creation of a new staff position surfaced at Tuesday's Governing Board meeting. Job duties of the $63,456 per year post include creating and implementing fund-raising ideas for the campus. The proposal to create the chief fund-raiser position comes as a result of a study commissioned by Palomar Superintendent/President Dr. George Boggs' office. Funds raised as a result of this new post would be used, for example, to build a proposed joint use amphitheater with the city of San Marcos. The amphitheater would be located above parking lot nine in what is currently a golf driving range. Duties of the office include identifying volunteers, creating fund-raising campaigns, and targeting prospects who might contribute. Board member Barbara Hughes said that she does not want to spend district funds which she estimated would total $80,000 a year when a secretary and other staff are added in. She said projects should be funded with taxes, and not with contributions raised by a marketer. "I think the public deserves only what they pay for," said Hughes. "The public deserves better than they are willing to pay for," responded fellow board member RobertRoseen. "There is no champion (for community colleges) in the state legislature. I fear for the bond issues coming before the voters in June and November. Even though we have the land to build classrooms on we do not have the funds to build with." Roseen said he would like funds raised by the new marketing officer to

(continued from page 1) would let us have the funds we need for growth, we'd take over San Marcos." With Contract Education, the corporations pay for the classes, and thus pay for the growth of Palomar College without counting toward the state's cap on growth funding. Palomar's facilities and faculty can be fully utilized at all times, which also saves money, she said. TheconceptofContractEducation is about 10 years old, and is being practiced successfully at community and state colleges across California. The University of California at Berkeley tailored an employee development program for Mack Truck employees. San Jose City College is offering, for local businesses, classes in accounting, marketing, computers and self-development, and a program designed specifically for Santa Clara County employees. Cypress College is offering an automotive collision training program for Lexus Corporation. Other popular Contract Education course topics are personal development, business English, communication skills, "boss management," management development, and technical training training, especially in software packages. Palomar is currently offering Contract Education courses to Hewlett Packard Corporation in mathematics, and communication for supervisors. Dougan is also working with the Vista County Courts to develop employee training for report writing there is growing demand from corporations for more courses. "We already have everything in place for less money," said Dougan. "With Contract Education, corporations don't have to invest a lot of money in developing their own training programs." In addition to Contract Education, Dougan is concentrating on developing short-term workshops tar-
geted toward the business community in the Community Services division. Dougan sees business oriented, "no problem" education as the direction for Community Education. "Many working people don't want to come to regular, weekly classes," she said. "They also don't want the hassle of enrolling. All students have to do is fill out a simple form. There is no credit or testing involved." One example of such a workshop is an on-campus tele-conference on strategies for business survival in the future, featuring Tom Parks, best-selling author of "In Search of Excellence." This is the first tele-conference to be held on campus, and Dougan has received enthusiastic response from local businesses and Chamber of Commerce employees. Other examples of workshops offered on campus are WordPerfect and other computer software seminars on personal development, time management, business, and travel. Community Services is one of the areas of responsibility under the Community Education division headed by Dean William Flynn. In addition to Community Services, the Community Education division is responsible for the Education centers in Camp Pendleton, Fallbrook, Vista, Poway, Penasquitos, and Escondido; evening and weekend administration; and the administrative internship program. Dougan earned a bachelor's of music degree in violin performance from the University of Southern California, and an M.B.A. from Pepperdine University. When asked how she feels about working from 1 p.m.- 10 p.m., Dougan said, ''I'm a morning person. I enjoy my morning walks." She looks at the job as an opportunity to gel experience as a full-time administrator, as opposed to being a chairperson who also teaches classes. "You have to start somewhere," she added.

Transit center hits delays

continued from page 1) e used to build housing for staff nd to create a "Palomar College ~ational Bank" that would loan noney for mortgages. He said that tis understanding of the report was hat Palomar is ready for a major und-raising effort. In addition to the creation of the 1ead of marketing position, the ·eportrecommended thatafeasibilty study be conducted on ways to 'und the proposed on-campus unphi theater and a satellite campus :Or Poway. In addition, special events like :he Merry Widow gala, should be ie-emphasized in favor of a once a year blitz targeting businesses and that Palomar should play up its role on the local economy. Faculty Senate President Pat Schwerdtfeger supported Hughes' argument by saying that the money being set aside for salaries could.be better spent on the faculty. Boggs, commented that the duties of the position would be merged with the functions of the Public Information Office, which acts as a public relations liaison between the college and the news media. He said funds for the position would come from a reserve earmarked for buying land and that
the position should start breaking even in 18 months to a year. The contract for the job would have a clause specifying that a certain dollar amount above salary is expected to be raised in order to keep the position. He also said that he will bring before the Board a proposal to make the office one of Executive Vice President to the Foundation. The Foundation solicits money from individuals and businesses for campus projects. The Board voted in favor of funding the position with Hughes casting the lone dissenting vote. In other business, a proposed contract between the college and the California Language Institute to bring Japanese students over to study English at Palomar was tabled. Board Secretary Dr. Robert Dougherty as well as Hughes said that they did not have enough time to review the contract and a letter written by the English as a Second Language department. According to ESL professor' Jan Hafner, her department feels that the students would be ill-served because proposed academic standards are below those of her department.
Due to the sudden death o( the prime architect of Palomar's proposed transit center, the project may be put on hold for a few months. "The county is looking at what
sub-contractors and the county. According to Ellis plans are "98 percent complete with the starting time of construction targeted for June or July." The transit center' s construction was originally scheduled to begin
can be done," said Mike Ellis, director of Buildings and Grounds. "They are deciding whether they want to hire another person to assume all the responsibilities or have the county become the prime (architect)." Currently, the overall plans for the project are being negotiated by

It was interesting to see different ways of marketing and to see how fast the fashion industry is changing." The students visited the Espree headquarters, took a tour of the Louise Sallinger four-year fashion design school, visited a milliner, or hat maker, in Oakland, and visited fashion designer Karen Alexander's Shady Grove Company. On May 16 the Festival of Designers show will be at the Palomar Theater at 7 p.m. The show involves local designers in the area and Palomar students. As part of the show, awards will be given to Palomar's deserving fashion students. Several of Galli ' s students have received scholarships recently. Adrianne Anderson received the Denise Woodard Mercantile Scholarship, the Kiwanis Club Scholarship, and the San Diego County Home Economics Association Scholarship. Kim Smarsh received the Mercantile Scholarship, and Michele Cooper was accepted into the fashion design program at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Only one in twelve receive that scholarship.

_StaffWriter In the last week of April, 11 Palomar students from the fashion department competed in a fashion show in San Francisco. Student Luke Fryer won first prize for the active sportswear category and received $250. Three other of Fryer's entries made it to the fashion show. Ken Imaizumi 's evening wear entry was also in the show. According to Nancy Galli, one of the fashion department's instructors, it was a great challenge just to get in the show. All of the California junior colleges with fashion departments competed. Of 500 entries in 12 different categories of clothing, only 80 pieces were chosen for the show. For Palomar's students to have four pieces displayed in the show and a first-place winner, was a great accomplishment, says Galli. The four-day fashion trip was sponsored by the California Community College Symposium. The students were there on April26-29; the show was all day on the 28th.

Deeds,notwords,neededin Earth Day observance Now that Earth Day is over, people will be going back to their old habits of polluting their environment and destroying life's substantial natural resources. The Earth Day conference on campus and the Earth Day monument in front of the cafeteria were certainly good steps forward to get people's attention about the environment and ecological problems. However, I, a student at Palomar, think that idealistic ideas should be transformed into actual deeds and not spoken only as words. Palomar College, like other educational institutions, functions as an instrument for instruction, educating people about the sciences, the arts and life in general. Because Palomar has a great influence on the formation of our society and the minds of its students, Palomar should set an example by demonstrating how each one of us can reduce pollution. By requiring that the cafeteria use paper plates and cups instead of styrofoam plates and cups, the school would make students aware of the long deterioration time required for styrofoam and encourage them to use more biodegradable products. By providing recycling containers outside of the cafeteria, the school could teach students the importance to our existence. These are just a few steps that could be taken by Palomar to enhance the true spirit behind Earth Day. Let us not make Earth Day a one day per year event. Let us make Earth Day every day of our lives.

Education a commodity, says student Once again, it's time to decide which classes and professors we want to take-next. It can be difficult to find an instructor with whom we can relate to. In addition, we hope to find a professor whose teaching style will optimize our personal learning skills. Many of us hope to find good teachers by talking with friends, peers or other professors. However, what one individual likes in a professor will not always hold true for someone else. Therefore, I would like to suggest a way in which to select a professor which suits your criteria. Why not take advantage of the drop/add policy? Take several extra classes and drop those that have professors which are difficult to relate to or are asking for more than you are willing to give. Perhaps we should consider our education from a consumer standpoint. As a comparative shopper, I have a strong desire to get the most for my time and money. This carries over to all aspects my of life as well as my educational studies. During the first several weeks of class, we should consider it as bargain shopping. The classes we are least satisfied withdrop. During the first week of a course, attend as though the professor is trying to sell their class to you. Ask yourself several questions pertaining to their attitudes, policies and expectations before you decide if this one's for you. Make them win you over; not feel as though you are trapped. Our education is important as well as expensive and the professors can make all the difference. There are a great deal of excellent professors, but we have to take the responsibility to find the very best that society has to offer. Bruce Boggio Student

Death sentence needed; judicial system lax Recently, attentions have been focused on the old debate about the death penalty, forcing people to form an opinion on an issue that is usually ignored. I think I side with the majority when I say the death penalty is needed and should be used. Though I fancy myself a "liberal" on most issues, I think this one comes down to common sense. What is going to prevent a criminal from murdering someone if he knows that, when he is caught and sentenced, the sentence will not be carried out? The U.S. judicial system has hemmed and hawed around for a number of years and has become lax and unthreatening. The reason police cars are distinctively painted and sport reflective decals and flashing lights is so that when citizens see them they are aware that the law is always present. This is a psychologically effective way to deter crime. The judiciai system should function in the same way. When a criminal is sentenced to death for the heinous crime of murder, that person should not live his or her life on death row - with room and board
Staff Commentary Amy Alexander provided indefinitely by government, and hence the taxpayer. A SPeedY trial is guaranteed to everyone, however a speedy execution apparently is not, for those who break the most fundamental rules of our society. By not actually enforcing the death penalty, overcrowding gets worse in prisons and criminals are getting the message, "Go ahead, do what ever you want. You won't really get punished for it." I don't advocate going back to the dark ages of law enforcement, with public hangings and chopping off the hands of thieves. However, if a criminal is arrested and tried for murder and is judged to be guilty and sentenced to death that sentence should be enforced, speedily.

Professor returns to teach class about the American involvement in
By Cindy Heather
Staff Contributor
\
Even though America's involvemcm in the Vietnam War was terminated a generation ago, the scars from that tumultuous era still have not healed. In the upcoming fall semester, Palomar students will have the opportunity to study what is still a controversial part of United States history. The course, entitled American Involvement in Vietnam, will be offered here for the first time. History professor Dr. Linda Guerrero will be teaching the evening class. In order to prepare for the course, Guerrero has been on a sabbatical leave during this semester. This summer, she will continue her research for the class. In the past, Guerrero has set up courses that have not been previously offered at Palomar; specifically Women's History and Religious Foundations of the United States. American Involvement in Vietnam is the first class requested as an addition to the curricula by Guerrero herself. Vietnam is a subjec.t of great importance to Guerrero, who was a student at Loyola-Mary mount University in Los Angeles during the late 1960s. At that time, the Vietnam conflict and anti-war protests were at their peaks. "As the Great Depression of the 1930s is recognized as the major event effecting the lives of a generation, carrying its effects into the 1950s and 60s, so is Vietnam the formative event of my generation," explains Guerrero. As in her other history classes, Guerrero will focus the Vietnam course on American societal effects, including how women have been affected by the conflict. Presidential decisions, starting with Harry Truman and ending with Richard Nixon, will also be covered.
I
Veterans of Vietnam combat, who have taken other classes with Guerrero, have inquired about the new course, and anxiously await its beginning. "Why did we get involved? How did we get involved? The veterans want to know the answers to questions such as these," Guerrero continues. "They experienced Vietnam on a personal level, but they want to understand what it was all about in terms of the big picture." She said she believes that the entire political truth about the United States involvement in Vietnam may never be known. "Historians are able to get into a lot of the material from Vietnam, but there is still a great deal of material that remains classified," she adds. "We often don't have access to the whole truth." Consistent with her teaching style, Guerrero intends to present the facts as even-handedly as possible, and offer various, alternative explanations on the gray, or controversial, areas. "Vietnam is sensitive to a lot of people," she says. "I have even chosen a very neutral textbook due to the high emotions still surrounding Vietnam. "You have to be real careful not to slant the material. The line between the good guys and the bad guys was very clear in World War II, but when you get to Vietnam the line became very blurred. "I hope my students will come to their own conclusions about how, as a nation, we came to the decision we did in Vietnam. It's important they bring their own critical thinking to the subject." Guerrero points out that new information is still being revealed about such historical events as Pearl Harbor. "That is after more than 40 years," she
says. "We are only 14 years out of Vietnam." Far from American soil, the Vietnam conflict took place in a part of the world we knew very little about. For those at home, it was difficult to relate to what was happening. According to Guerrero, previous wars had American men and boys lining up at recruiting offices, eager to fight for the country. But Vietnam was different. If being in college didn't protect them from the draft, many fled to Canada, or registered as conscientious objectors. At home, college students across the country organized mass protests against American involvement in Vietnam. "Hell no, we won't go!" became their slogan, which was screamed at the nation through television sets. The nightly news in the late 60s and early 70s was filled with stories and film footage of protests at home, the horrors of war, and daily reports of body counts. As Guerrero says, "This was the first war we ever fought in our living rooms. In terms of popular opinion, the media had a tremendous effect." Debbie Bray was grateful when a friend recommended she enroll in the upcomingHistory 7 course. Bray, who has taken one of Guerrero's courses, says the instructor's teaching style lends itself well to the course outline. "One thing that really stands out about Dr. Guerrero is her love for teaching. She makes it so interesting that history and the people come alive for her students," says Bray. Guerrero makes no secret of her passion for teaching. "I love to learn, and I love to pass on what I learn," she says. "A private hell for me would be ifl would learn, and then have no one to tell it to."

Rabbi .witnesses changing face of Poland By Aaron Hirschorn
Staff Writer Rabbi John Rosenblatt, an adjunct professor at Palomar,was one in a distinct group of rabbis and educators that toured the everchanging country ofPoland during early January. Upon his arrival, he went to the capital of Warsaw to see how the country had changed since the Holocaust. "What makes the Holocaust different- and special, in a sense- was that it was the careful planning for the mass execution and murder of
innocent women and chi!dren so that they would be blotted out from the face of the John Rosenblatt universe," explained Rosenblatt. As he toured Warsaw, he found it very difficult to imagine that, before World War II, every third person in the city was Jewish. Today, only a few hundred elderly individuals remain.
() I
The rabbi visited the only remaining synagogue still operating in Warsaw. There are no longer enough people to have a weekly service of meaning. He was very disturbed by the nasty epitaphs he saw on the temple that read "Poland is for Pols." The rabbi made it a point to visit several concentration camps during his stay. "Treblinka and Medonik were built as factories of death where people were killed by lethal injection," he continued. "Eventually, their bodies were burned. I could smell the human stench that was
still there. I cannot believe ... that people didn't know what was taking place in those camps. "I never believed how fierce and cruel people could be to their fellow man," Rosenblatt added. "Every person possible who goes to Europe should spend two days in Poland just to see the camps." Rosenblatt believes that genocide is taking place right now in Ethiopia, Romania, and the Philippines. "Genocide is very far from being dead, it's a very live issue." Rosenblatt finished this thought by citing the battle between the Catholics and Protestants in Ireland.
"Luckily, out of the ashes of the Holocaust came the birth of the state of Israel," Rosenblatt concluded. Throughout his trip, the rabbi encountered no one who expressed any remorse. "Pols never, in any way, offered to make restitution to the few hundred Jews left there, which, to me, is a form of public thievery of the worsttype. No country can hold its head high with pride and with respect (when it) does not try to rectify the situation." He is not anxious to return, except to take groups there to show people the truth of the Holocaust.

Student mime speaks out Kathy Hines Staff Writer If you take the time to listen, a mime can have a lot of intriguing things to say. Denis Cier, a Palomar College student and professional mime, says, "_ , ____ _ ___ !!" For those people that do not understand mime, it translates to "Hi, my name is D.Alien!!" Perhaps in not so many words, Cier does speak a language that is heard internationally. Miming is one of the few languages that can hurdle any language barrier. "When you shut your mouth, you open it," explains Cier. By looking deep into the eyes of people, I communicate." The reactions he arouses vary from person to person, and from time to time. "There are four to five reactions I get from people; either they're scared, ashamed, laughing, loving me or wanting to hit me." Cier adds that the time of day and frame of mind has something to do with their reactions. "Like any art, or kind of music, you can love it one minute, and hate it the next. It just depends of your mood and the atmosphere." Cier states that there is more to miming than just entertainment. "It is an art form that requires a meditation of physical strength and mental philosophy." To get his
body in shape, Cier likes to dance to all types of music, from rock to reggae, depending on his state of mind . He practices miming at home, while wearing an "Afrikan Boubou." The boubou is a loose fitting summer-type outfit that resembles pajamas. Breathing and relaxing are most important in the art. "Sometimes it can be hard because people try to make you blink." For example, once someone threw a paper airplane at his eye. "It broke the charm and I did blink. But, I would like someone to do it again because I remember it so well in slow-motion, that I think I could catch it next time." If the weather conditions are good, and he is in shape, Cier can hypnotize himself and not blink for at least two hours. With concentrative breathing and relaxing, he does not think about wanting to blink, or how hot his costume may be. He always wears a full body suit when performing in public. Cier's outfit is notably spacey in appearance, complementing his face which when painted silver makes him resembles the "Tin Man" from "The Wizard of Oz." Instead of a funnel for a head covering, Cier sports a white construction worker's hard hat. On his shining silver suit, which has frilly blue shoulders, a single baby-doll eye
with teasing eyelashes, looks out from a triangle, that sits smac-dab in the middle of his lean chest. "I put the eye there to get peoples' attention. When they look at the eye on my chest, it draws them to look in my own eyes." The make-up used by Cier is professional make-up that will wash off with regular soap and water. Other than the physical and mental preparation, Cier likes of be alone for at least an hour, putting on his make-up and costume before a performance Because Cier is a French Corsican citizen, he cannot legally perform professionally in the United States until muddling through the proper, but time consuming paperwork and applying for a work permit. For two years, in France, Holland, and Turkey, Cier used his robotic movements to entertain professionally for futuristic computer company demonstrations, "Citizen" companies, design shows, furniture companies, and regional television. He also mimed for millionaire parties and weddings. After meeting Mai-Linh, his Parisian fiancee, in the French Riviera, they moved to the United States to be closer to her family. They also immigrated because Cier liked the U.S., having visited two times before
•
Now, Cier is a first-semester Palomar College student, majoring in Communications, and likes to mime as a hobby. He explains, "Like some people like to golf as a hobbie, I like "Saltimbanque." Saltimbanque is a 12th century french term that refers to street performing. D.Alien now expresses his physical art mostly at Balboa Park. He also said he enjoyed himself over spring-break, when performing in San Fransisco. Apy amount of money that he may receive for street performing must be from donations only, until he obtains a permanent work permit. He says that there is no average amount of money that he may receiveinaday. "Theartitselfand the money are two different things. They need each other, but I don't think about the money, it's not good
•
and it doesn't work out, so I just concentrate on the art." explains Cier From miming, the sometimes shy Cier learns a lot about people in a way that he could not learn as well without his painted face. "It's almost like a game I play with them and it helps me become more aware of relationships with people. I think that children are especially important. From watching their reactions, we can learn about our own instincts, and how we feel." In the future, he is not sure if he will perform professionally as a career, but does have something in mind. "I would eventually like to start my own recycling business, because I feel it is important for our planet and the people that live in it." However, at present time, D.Alien will continue to mime for fun, and introduce the art to any future "Li'l Aliens" of his own.
It took Freud 38 years to understand it.
You have one night. The psych exam is in 12 hours. And your id wants to party. Your ego wants to conk out. But your superego knows you need to stay awake tonight to cram. Fortunately, you've got Vivarin. It helps keep you awake and mentally alert for hours. Safely and conveniently. So all your brainpower can focus on understanding the brain. If Freud had used Vivarin, maybe he could have understood the brain faster, too.

Women's tennis team serves second place
Netters end season with a slam
By Nick Sherr Staff Writer
By Rich Donovan Sportswriter The men's volleyball team finished strong this season as they crushed Santa Monica City College by a convincing score of 15-6, 15-8, and15-2. The Comets, while finishing fourth in their league of 12, just missed a playoff berth behind Orange Coast College, L.A. Pierce, and Santa Barbara City College. Although the Comets' didn't make the playoffs, they still achieved a very important team goal. "Our team goal was to be playing our best volleyball at the end of the season, and we did this when we crushed Santa Monica in our last game," said sophomore_outside hitter Dave Delaney. They finished the season with a 13-7 record and good memories. "Wereallyhadalotafun this season and we all got along real well. We enjoyed each others company. It was a great season," said Delaney. For next season, the volleyball team looks very promising. All but two sophomores, Dave Delaney and Ean Overson, will return. "Next year's team will be very good, considering they will have the experience that we lacked this year," said Delaney.

Despite difficulties, Palomar's women's tennis team finished in second place in the Mission Conference, and made it to the quarter finals in doubles in the prestigious Ojai Invitational Tennis tournament Palomar's 9-3 conference record tied them for second place with Mira Costa Coflege, just behind undefeated Grossmont. Coach Nan Haugen said the match against Mira Costa was probably the low of the season. "I was just shocked that we lost," she said, 'Tcouldn't believe they were that good!" As the Comets started to win , along came an ankle injury to number two player Linda Breen, which put her out for the remainder of the season . . Then Palomar's number three player, Paula Heath, dropped out of school. Kathleen Reder, the number five player, contracted mononucleosis and could have been out for over four weeks, according to Haugen. But Haugen told Reder, "we need you." So Reder came back after only seven days. "We could have ea~ily wound up in fourth place without those two (Breen and Heath) and then Reder, but the rest of the players really pulled together. They were brave," Haugen said.
"One of the biggest surprises this season has to be Kathleen Reder," she said. "Her play has really excelled. With mono, she went three sets with one of Grossmont's best singles players. I think that's amazing." The Ojai tournament brought together a new combination of Comet players. Jill Kaeser and Michelle Kindle competed together in doubles against a draw of 45 teams. Kaeser and Shirley Slapak each played singles against a field of almost 90 of the best players in California. In doubles, Kaeser and Kindle made their way all the way to the quarterfinals. They were ousted ~Y thenumberoneteam,OrangeCoast Although they lost with only eight teams remaining, Haugen said, "MicpelleandJill only played one time together before Ojai, and they got to the quarters. That was the highlight of Ojai." In singles, Kaeser coasted through a bye in the first round, then lost to the number two seated player in the tournament. In other singles action, Slapak was a more successful winning the first round over Cypress of the Sequoias. She earned a second round win over Cypress, but was stopped in the third round by the number one player from Saddleback. Haugen summed up the season by saying, ''I'm really proud of the team, how all the girls did what they had to do to win."

action. I believe that of three unranked names submitted for final selection of employment, at least one third of the names should be of a minority. The quality of staff will not be lowered, but enhanced." She also said that the program will not be discriminating. In retrospect, Grosz commended the ainount of work put into the proposals. "I am very impressed by the time ~md effort of the work of the faculty. I congratulate you. I have never encountered anything like it; your organization, the time allotted for affirmative action, and the Board." After the meeting, ASG President John Weber projected, "From our Affirmative Action Plan, much benefit will stem from the enrollment, as well as hiring. For example, by having more minorities, we will have different viewpoints of races, diverse opinions and a variety of academic instruction."
By Hank Tritchka Staff Writer Private book collections were taken off shelves, dusted, and brought into the college library for final judgement in a contest to determine the most notable collection owned by a Palomar College student. The competition, which was sponsored by the Palomar College Library, was the first of what officials hope to be an annual event. Applications were open to all Palomar students. The winners' entries were put on display in the library April20 as partofNationalLibrary Week. Coordinator Tamara Weintraub felt that more students would have participated if they had known. "We asked certain instructors to tell their students about the competition," she said, "but I don't think many of them did." Turnout was better than ex-

pected, however, and Weintraub hopes for even more participation next year. "We tried to keep things fair by having judges who were non-library personnel," she said. "With half the judges being 'normal people' the contestants were not afraid of librarian bias." Taking first place was Ricardo Scheller's collection of 250 German authored military and history books printed before World War Two. Scheller's collection is a source of what he feels to be little known knowledge, "such as the Russian units which fought for Germany in the Second World War." . Margaret Dennis took second with her set of American Indian books, and David Rawlins third with a natural history collection. Honorable mentions were Colyn Beckett with her poetry books and Angela Schnedeker with The Old West collection. Winners received gift certificates lo the school bookstore along with other school items. "I think that the most rewarding part of this competition," said Weintraub, "is getting to share your collection with everyone else."
Sports Day scheduled Palomar is looking for a few good volunteers for its 12th annual "Physically Limited Sports Day" on May 19. "We are looking for friendly people who would enjoy keeping score, officiating starting and finishing lines, and helping participants as they compete," says event director Marilyn Lunde. More than 75 volunteers are needed. The day begins at 9 a.m. in the Dome, and will end with award ceremoniesat3:30p.m. Interested

different times in history. All of the music that will be performed represents the growth of music for the past 300 years. In addition melodies from the Broadway musicals Oklahoma, WestSide Story, Phantom of the Opera, and Les Miserabies will also be presented. Featured singers will be student Mary Jaeb, who was the lead in The Merry Widow, and professional singer from San Diego Daniel Hendrick, who was the prince in The Merry Widow. Robert Gilson, the conductor for the orchestra said, "We're _playing music that college students will be familiar with. I can't imagine anyone coming to the concert and leaving saying, 'I didn't like any of it.' "The concert will be either a sell out, or an almost sell out, because it's been that way in the past. It is best that students make reservations because the theater can only seat 400 people," Gilson added.
The annual commencement ceremony at Palomar College will be held May 25 at 6 p.m. in the Dome. The ceremony will honor persons who have qualified for associate of arts degrees or certificates during any of the previous three semesters. No tickets are required. A free reception will be held immediately after the ceremonies at the clocktower.
