Dr. Frederick R. Huber's ''task force," organized to enable students to discuss methods and problems of higher education with members of the surrounding communities,will meet todayat ll a.m. in the Conference Room . In a recent newsletter distributed around campus, the "task force" explained some of their Ideas and objectives: "The term 'communitycollege'is used to mean a joiningtogetherofthemembers of the community with the students, to realize a growing out (education) from the mixing of the two subcultures. "Students should know their community functions, and how the community and the JC can productively complement each other. Members of the community should be aware of the problems of unemployment, draft, alienation, overcrowding, apathy, drug abuse, and unwanted pregnancies that face students . Also they should be aware of the new methods that faculty and students are coming up with to combat these problems. "If you're aware of yourself and your environment, and you're interested in letting others know of your interest-reach out! A plea that Dr. Huber made at the convocation, for students to work within the community, resulted in a nucleus task force. This force , now known as the Palomar College Community Outreach program, has already

Brown finds vocational directing ~satisfying' "The job of vocational director ranges from counseling s tudents and coordinating the many facets of vocational education with the various areas on campus, to talking to the community to obtain programs for the co llege,'' he explai ned. Holding degrees from California State Polytechnic and Long Beach State, Brown joined the Palomar staff this semester after five years as a faculty member at Allan Hancock Community College in Santa Maria. "Palomar's Vocational Education program has two directions, said Brown. First, it has in its purpose allowing a student who does not have a parti cular vocational direction to come to school and learn while he is deciding upon that direction. Secondly, the program is set up so that a student can continue his education on into a four year college.'' Another benefit of present vocational training that Brown sees is, "It's no longer a terminal type of education.'' A student can now continue to go to school while working, so that he does not have to stay in the same job. "A man may be a specialist as an electrical technician today, and tomorrow he may have to change jobs because of the great increase in modern technology. " Since his appointment as vocational director, Brown has been instrumental in the initiation of some new programs at Palomar. As of this semester an automotive appre nticeship program has

Future innovations in the department are also being planned. Two programs of particular irrJ;...,rtance are dental assisting and cosmeto;,;zy. "The initiation of these, however, will depend upon the response from the community and the monies available,'' stated Brown "We are also planning to revise the regular day automotive program, sothat after their first semester students will be able to work as a service station atte ndants . Upon completion of a second semester he will be able to work on auto machinery, doing engine and repair work under supervision in a garage. By the time he has a AA degree, he will be a full-fledged mechanic in whatever specialty his major includes.
'Monika' offers 'Bergman touch' By
Frank Hoffa
"Monika," a Swedish film directed by Ingmar Bergman was shown Wednesday night in P - 32. Made in 1952, "Monika" was one of Bergman's early films, and its s howing was a function of the film class. According to film class instructor Dick Peacock, "It's interesting to see if he (Bergman) had what we now call the 'Bergman touch', back in 1952.'' The film concerned the story of two young people (Monika and Harry) who met and fe ll in love, rejecting their jobs and families to run away together in a boat owned by Harry's sick father. Afte r a summer of drifting around, Monika becomes pregnant, and the two realize that they must return to a more conventional way of life. Finally they separate, after Monika finds that she can't live in such humdrum surroundings . The next film in the series will be "Yojinbo," which will be s hown on December 2, at 7 p.m. in P - 32. Admission is free and the public Is invited.
