Production dates have been set for March 25, 26, 27 and April 1, 2, 3. David Fennessy, Rosela Del Castillo, Perry Sites, Claudia Kiethley, Rosemary Hernandez, Estelle McDill, Bob Barrows Robert Garven and John Higdon will compose the supporting cast. "In the three years I've been here, this will be the most difficult play I've directed. Partly because 'Phaedra' is written in poetry and partly because the language is on a different level. Due to the high quality of the play, the cast is also on a higher level. And I feel the cast I've chosen will pull through without difficulty," Buddy Ashbrook, director remarked. Ashbrook added he had chosen the neoclassical Greek tragedy for presentation, "to give the student-body, the community, the actors and the technical people an opportunity to work in different periods and styles and to observe a traditional classic paly." "Phaedra" will be the first classic since "King Lear."

Spring enrollment sets record high
Formal acceptance of pool funds made by governors pool had been a high-priority project in the college master plan for more than four years. Officials said the pool will provide a long-needed solution to providing adequate facilities in the physical education program. Ward Myers, director of physical education, said, "Swimming has been a wellaccepted part of physical education the world over for a long time. It is a popular physical education activity in at least three large high schools in the district, and in the years past it has been an unfortunate situation when those high school students had to terminate that activity and sport when they graduated and enrolled in Palomar College." Other funding for the pool, which was filled and heated for the first time this week, came from a state grant of $91,461, and from. the college community services and special reserve funds. Formal dedication of the pool is scheduled during the week-long observance of Palomar's 25 anniversary in April.
Lead roles in the neo-classical Greek tragedy "Phaedra" are (Lto R) Rosela Del Castillo as Aricia; David Fennessy as Hippolytus; Jill Moore as Phaedra and Bob Barrows as Theremenes. The play is scheduled to run March 25-27 and April l-3.
Debaters win new trophies Wendy Wetzel and Larry DeBoever, Palomar College's champion debaters, brought new trophies back to the campus this week after winning second place in the Governor's Cup Invitational Tournament at Sacramento State College. The Palomar team won the honors after four days of competition. In qualifying for the championship bracket, they were the only undefeated teams from Idaho State, Centralia, Washington, University of Connecticut, University of Nebraska and American River. In addition to the Governor's Cup runner-up trophy, Miss Wetzel and DeBoever won "Outstanding Speaker" plaques. During the same weekend at the "49'er National Invitational" at California State College, Long Beach, Palomar individual event entries placed high. Joe Cosenza and Charles Jackson won second place trophies in oratory and oral interpretation, respectively. Jan Caswell won fourth In the championship round of oral interpretation. Darlene Laskowski was a semi-finalist in the same event. Karanja Mungai competing for the first time as a Palomar student, was a semifinalist in oratory.
Enrollment at Palomar has reached a record high for the spring of 1971 with 3,191 day students attending. This is a 26.7 percent increase from the figures one year ago. With the night and adult education enrollment increasing over 25 percent, the total amount of students is 6,344. This has put an added strain on the facilities for this semester. According to Dean Robert Burton, dean of student personnel, no newfacilitiPs can be added to the campus, but new pool helped to take the pressure off the PE classes. "I feel that we will have at least 3,500 day students next year," said Dean Burton. This semester, somehow, the extra students were squeezed into the classes, but next year more afternoon classes are to be expected, some starting at 3 and 4 p.m., and many new faculty members will be added to the staff.

A physiograph worth $7000 has been ordered by the life science department to be used in demonstrations in both lecture and lab biology. According to Gary Freeman, biology supervisor, the machine is used for reading the pulse and general functions of the human body. "The physiograph is useful in recording blood pressure, nerve impulses, temperatures, and even electro-cardiograms. For instance, in disectinga frog the machine can read muscle and nerve responses," said Freeman. In his demonstrations, Mr. Freeman will be using himself as the subject, and all recorded impulses will be projected on a special screen. Certain students will be involvedinits use, and anyone desiring knowledge of
its operation should enroll in Biology41, which is Field Investigations in Science.
