Others named by Dr. Basil Peterson, president of the association, to the committee are William F. Kimes, Orange Coast Junior College, Newport; Forrest G. Murdock, El Camino Junior College, Inglewood; and Don Patterson, representing the school-house planning division of the State Department of Education.

PALOMAR TO HAVE BAND: STUDENT TALENT NEEDED That Palomar will soon have a band in full uniform which will play for football games in the fall and present concMts in the spring is the hope of Mr. Vogel, head of the music department.

Mr. Vogel announces that the first rehearsals of the proposed band will begin in the early part of the second semester, with the late hours of Tuesdays and Thursdays set tentatively as the time for practice.

Uniforms have been ordered for the band and are expected to arrive either this spring or next fall in time for football season.

Students who play but who do not own instruments should see either Mr. Vogel or Dean Bale, so that instruments can be obtained in time for rehearsals.

MEET SOME OFFFCERS OF THE STUDENT COUNCIL Max Krueger

Dorothy Shaffer

"Time changes all things" the saying goes. However, the things we enjoy and appreciate we don't like to see change. Therefore, we'd be mighty unhappy if that confirmed bachelor with the green eyes, brown hair, and neat little moustache on his upper lip, Max J. Krueger, should change his mind about being Treasurer of the Associated Student Body of Palomar.

Max, who has· given so 'graciously of his valuable time this past semester to a real job, is carrying a very heavy course in sciences, preparing himself for service in the Fi~h and Game Divi~ion of our Government. There is a lot of power behind this man, standing 5'8", and weighing about 150 lbs.; but even "Mighty Mouse" would have trouble carrying such a load.

Twenty-seven years ago, Max opened his. eyes in Burlingame, California, and they have been open practically night and day ever since in a diligent and indus'trious search of knowledge to prepare himself for the future. He received his early education in the north, coming to OceansideCarlsbad Union High for his last three years. He graduated in 1940 and was associate manager of the Annual.

The six years previous to his coming to Palomar, Max spent with his buddies in the Army.

Four years of this he spent overseas, three stationed in Panama.

The remainder of the time he saw service in France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and Germany. Sergeant Krueger spent time in many departmE;lnts of the Army, such as

We hear much about the "New Look" these days, but we must not forget the "Friendly Look" that a certain blond, curly headed, green-eyed girl on our campus has that says to everyone she contacts, "I am your friend." Yes, Commissioner Dorothy Shaffer, with her 18 years of accumulated experience in and around Escondido, backed by her "All American College Girl" figure, lends her hands to everything that has to do with Women's Activities at Palomar.

Dorothy was born in Santa Ana, but being a lass with the pioneer spirit, she began travelling at an early age, two to be exact, settling in Escondido. Dorothy has always been the kind of a student whom teachers wish there were more of.

Here at Palomar, she is a Commercial Major, and it will be a lucky boss who hires her. Favorite among her hobbies is the reading of biographies.

We at Palomar owe much to Dorothy for her untiring efforts on the "Lounge Committee" of the Student Council. (Think of her when you enjoy our new lounge, and remember to thank her.)

Dorothy says, "I think Palomar is nice. But we do need a few organized clubs to increase our social activities. I feel the students should be more interested in these student activities and do more about them."

Buy A Student Body [ard

We strongly urge that all student s buy ASB cards. The money obtained from the sale of these cards supports The Telescope, helped to furn1sh the new lounge, and pays for dances, parties and athletic events.

Can the student who retuses to purchase an ASI:l card and then benefits from all these activit1es, moral ly defend his action 7 Is it fair tor a portion ot the students to pay the bill for all of the students? The answer is obvious.

Let's Play Ball !

•

What' s the matter wit h the students of Palomar anyway? No school spirit 7 At the basketball games recently there have been more Palomar players than rooters. Those rooters who were at the games failed to cooperate with the yell leaders.

Don 't you real1ze? It's you students who make the College what it is, good, bad, or indltterent. And as you all know, the inditterence in this Mecca of learning at the present time is appalling.

Despite the 300 enrolled students at Palomar, our basketball games usually have only about 20 rooters . Why not take a little interest in our school and show the men on the team and our yell leaders, too, that you at lea st know they are in exi~tence 7 If it's the price of admission that is bothering you, surely you realize your Stud ent Body card admits you to all games.

It takes school spirit on the part of everyone to put Palomar on the map. So wake up, students, have a little fun, enjoy your school, and tell anybody who asks you, " I go to Palomar son. Sorry you don 't. You're missing somet~ing."

C. L. .

Are You A Drone?

What is more enervating to a football player's morale than to hear only about four out of ten persons giving their all in yells and cheers 7 Or on the campus to have six persons work themselves to the limit for a successful social activity, only to have a handful of spirited persons attend? · When school spirit is evident in all students in high school or college it develops a worthwhile campus and social life. Ordinarily there can be found two distinct types of students in a school.

First, there are the spirited students, who are very few in number.

Namely, the ones who sta rt every school social activity, do all the work in preparfng for the event, and in the end are usually the ones to attend with a few other individuals.

In the second place, there is the unspirited group, which is very large in size. This is composed of the students who raise a fuss because there are not enough social everits on the campus. They never make any attempt to start something themselves, and if given some particular job to do, push it off on someone else. For example, right here in Palomar College there are students who want different clubs established, but becau se someone does not do the necessary work for them to create the club, they just drop it, but continue to gripe about the lack of activities.

If all the students wo uld be willing to put in a little work on activities they might derive a great deal of plea sure from each event.

Also if every student worked energetically, such action would go far to change the entire attitude of the college. With everyone working together a great .load would be taken off the few.

PALOMAR PETE Wanted: Sponsor for new rad io serial written by talented young man. Soap manu facturer preferred, but will accept any reasonable offer from makers. of fountain pens that write under Pepsi-Cola . Author may be reach ed by writing Palomar Pete, in care of this newspaper.

There is a reason for the above advertise ment. I, Palomar Pete (affectio nately known as the "Palpitating Poet of Prose"), am the creator of the world's finest soap opera . Especially designed for the listening public, it has appeal even for those people who hate daytime serials.

I think that includes everybody except graduates of Harvard, Yale, and Ocean side J. C. The title will be "The Other Third Daughter of Old Mortician Hoogenfloogel's One Millionth Customer." The beautiful part of the story is the plot.

The plot is wonderfully simple. As the title suggests, there are only three characters. (Not including Palomar Pete, who is in a class all by himself). There is his millionth customer. And there is the third daughter of the aforemen tioned custome r. She can be eliminated right away as her father had only two childre n. Her father (the millionth customer, remember? ) Old Hoogenfloogel himself, who moved to Valley Center (or Centre, if you live 7 there) in 1940 and was never heard of again.

"Aha!!" the intelligent reader will say. (I doubt if anybody will say "Aha!") "What kind of a plot ca n you have with no characters?"

There, dear readers (and you too, boys), is the wonderful part of "The Other Third Daughter of Old Mortician Hoogenfloogel 's One Millioni11 Cu stomer." The program will open with one minute of my noiseless theme song (I call it "The Mattress Maker's Melody") and will close with fourteen minutes of absolute silence. There will be, of course, no wome n allowed in the studio . During the first program it will be so quiet that you can hear the sponsor dropping dead.

This is, of course, a story that will appeal to the masses. For the less discrimina ting minority I have another se rial. As space does not permit my settin.g do":'n the plot here, I will be gl~d to send it to any of my readers, 1f I still have any, on request. Cop1es of the plot will be sent only on receipt of a sta mped, self-addressed envelope, and six hairs f~om Mr. Smith 's. h~ad. In case you're interested, by the way, the tJtle of the story Js The Strange Saga of the School-Teacher with the Phosphorescent Skull."

ALL IN VAIN The teacher enters; the lesson begins. The students haven 't studied the lesson. They don't look up but keep their heads lowered.

The teacher, with a rhythmic movement of the right hand directs his pencil up and down the . register containing the students' names.

The students look at their books, then at the teacher, trying to ca mo uflage themselves to blend with their desks. All in vain-the teacher looks only at his register.

Everyone has a dead look, conscio us of the seriousness of the moment. Some cynic tries to smile; the others give him a dirty look.

The teacher prolongs the agony by continuing to look at his register. The hearts of the students beat faster-80-90-1 00 pulsations per minute. All remain in terrified silence.

Finally a name is called; some heads lift; others remain lowered.

The interrogation begins. The student assumes the aspect of unarmed innocence, with eyes wide open, mouth semi-open about to speak (yet not speaking), ears like earphones oriented to the desks, waiting to catch some signal in answer to the mute S. 0. S. of his hands. No luck-the line of communication is interrupted because of the intense vigilance of the teac her.

Other questions follow, all without ans wers; then comes the final verdict: "Today you didn't study.

I sho uld give you a very low mark, but for this time I am giving you a "D."

PINT SIZE PANZERS Spoiled children are the bane of my existence. It takes only one visit of one of these peanut sized " Panzer Divisions" to ruffle my nerves. In fact they don't contribute to a restful Sunday either.

For example, fond parents invariably choose a stormy Sunday, when children can't play out of doors, to inflict their little rays of sunshine upon their unsu specting friends.

Moreover, they always arrive in a state of acute starvation.

Therefore, as soon as coats are thrown in a corner and overshoes tossed in the oven, there is a clamor for a handout, usually lemon pie. Lemon pie is an excellent food, but it is not generally used for a sealcoat on trousers, for writing on walls, or as a hair massage, unless as a means of entertainment for children.

Favorite decks of cards are glued together into a solid mass, while doting mothers exdaim with wonder at the originality displayed.

Eventually the house will be cleaned and ready for the next rainy Sunday~ at which time one can always hope that fate will be kinder. However, after successive visits of this kind, I have decided that I will have to put up with human nature and hope for the best in the next generation.

Cleo Sloan informed me that she went visiting in Santa Ana (course she didn't mention who!) . . . Jean Smith went out with a West Point C:adet.

From all reports I hear they had a marvelous time.

The new lounge is great, isn't it? The Patrons of Palomar, Dorothy Shaffer and her crew, and all those connected with it should be thanked for their Work in making ou.r wishes a reality. Right after the lounge was completed, Dorothy was asking Gordon Madley to help her wash windows. Gordon refused politely and Dot started yanking him by his Levi's. A scream from Gordon of " I haven't got a belt" loosened Dot's hold and a few laughs. Madley was a mighty embarrassed boy.

Presiding at the meeting until officers were elected was Stanley Warburton, Fullerton J. C. district superintendent and president of the Southern California Junior College Association. Permanent officers elected were Wesley J. Smith, director of Citrus Junior College, president; Donald C. Carr, distric~ superintendent and dean of OceansideCarlsbad J. C., vice-president; Eugene G. Waterman, dean of Central J. C., secretary-treasurer; and Sanford M. Bale, dean of Palomar J. C., chairman of the committee for drafting the constitution. W. G.

Palomar's basketball team came out on the short end of a 23 to 22 score against Lancaster Junior College Saturday night, January 17, in a thrilling overtime game which saw the lead change .hands many times.

At the end of the regular game time, the score was tied 20 all.

The referees set a five rninu+e overtime period. Lancaster started the overtime scoring by making a free throw. This put Lancaster ahead 21 to 20. Palomar, not to be out done, made a field goal, putting Palomar ahead by a single point. With about a minute and a half remaining, a Lancaster player made. a desperate long shot, winning the game, for Lancaster froze the ball during the remaining secons}s of play.

Lancaster played a tight zone defense, wh~ch seemed to puzzle the Palomar players at times and made shooting at long range inevitable.

Outstanding in character makeup were the stepmother, played

by Geneva Ware; Nellie, the philosophic flower woman, as acted

by Jean White; and Lucia Bennett, played with a look that none other could give the part by Mary Richardson.

The attractive but simple sets did not detract from the players but afforded them much freedom.

The sets are the property of Vista High School and were painted by Cal Lewi s, Clint Smith, and Bill Rowe. The stage managers were Bill Swain and Jerry Mattson, assisted by Jones and Lance Brakefield.

The lighting, one of the important features of the play, was manipulated by George Hammack and Tom Jacqua of Vista High.

The boys proved masters of their jobs.

Mr. Rolla E. Twisselmann proved his ability as a successful producer and Mr. Donald Schaumburg as supervisor of the sets .

During the past semester several interesting events have taken place in our language department.

A color film of a trip to Mexico, taken by a former student, Mr. Sobel, who lived with a Mexican fomily while there, shifted the students' attention from the language to the culture of the people. Mr. Sobel pointed out the extremes to be found in the country, and (continued from page I ) commented that many are now when we were forcefully driven tobeing educated through the co- gether and read passages from operation of the gove.rnment.
