Vista, California, Thursday, Feb. 26, 1948

Quillen Speaks Tonight On World Peace Marking the third in a series of forum events sponsored by Palomar College, Dr. I. James Quillen, professor of education at Stanford University and one of the most popular speakers on the west coast, will discuss " How the College and Community May Work Together for World Understanding tonight at 8 p.m., Vista High School Auditorium.

Dr. Quillen played a leading part in the organization of the educational section of the United Nations, UNESCO, is a member of the Committee for Education for Democratic Citizenship, and is consultant to the Service Bureau for Inter-Cultural Education.

He is the co-author of four recent books, "The Challenge of Ed ucation", "Education for War and Peace", Charting Inter-Cultural Education", and "Living In Our Communities."

A lively discussion is expected to follow Dr. Quillen's speech, when a student panel will comment on any controversial points.

No admission will be charged, and the public is welcome.

Vet. Ag. Enrollment Reaches New High

No.4

A Founders Day Message It is with a feeling of pride that on this Founders' Day I review the progress we have made since that memorable February 27, 1946, when the G overning Board held its first meeting.

The acquisition of a permanent site is but the climax of a series of ac hievements: the selection of a highly qualified faculty, the establishing of an adequate library, the developing of an extensive tran spo rtation system, the equipping of new science laboratories, the vitalizing of the curriculum through the addition of football, basketball and other sports, and dramatics, the publishing of The Telescope, the creation of student organizations, and the setting up of the student lounge and bookstore.

These accomplishments are not the result of the efforts of any one person. They have been achieved by the un slfish coopration of the administration, the Governing Board, the student body, the faculty, and civic minded citizens.

As sple ndid as ha s been our progress to date, our period of greatest growth lies before us. With a predicted fopulation of 573,000 in San Diego county by 1950 and the presence o 30,400 persons between the ages of eighteen and twenty, the College may expect a steadily increasing enrollment.

Such an increase presents a challenge. We shall have to expand our course offering to meet the demands of all groups in our student body: those wishing to prepare for transfer to universities, those wanting l?re-professional training, those desiring vocational training that will quality them for emrloyment at the end of two years, those seeking two years of genera education beyond high school, and those adults wanting specific cultural or vocational courses to fill gaps in their education, to enrich their leisure time, or to increa se their ski ll in their chosen vocations.

We can look forward to the years ahead with high hopes. There are problems involved, yes: the enlarging of the College district, the expanding of the curriculum and teaching staff, but with the enthusiasm and unity of purpose evidenced thus far, we shall, I am convinced, create a college of which all of us can be tremendously proud.

DANIEL C. McNAUGHTON, President.

Valentine Dance Rated Year's Best Cooperation was the keynote at the Vista Women's Clubhouse, February I I, 1948 as the Valentine Dance sponsored by the Freshman class turned Wednesday night into an evening of gaiety.

A sport affair, it turned out to be the best of the year. The factor which made this dance a successs and tops to any previou s one was the cooperation of every student.

The decorations, under the able handling of Jeanne Courter and Fern Soderstrom, added atmosphere to the valentine theme. Red and white streamers hung from the ceiling, while on the walls were big red hearts which when opened disclosed a beautiful bit of Varga work.

Dick Zackman's Band outdid itself in contributing varied selections for the fast as well as slow and sentimental dancers. Although small, the band, composed of four pieces, a saxophone, trumpet, piano and drums, wa s well balanced and well adapted to the small ballroom.

During the intermission, while the band was taking a breather and the dancers were resting their tired feet, refreshments we r e served. Richard Castellani, head of the refreshment committee, saw that everyone received his share of apple cider and cookies.

Shortly after explosions were heard as the students got rid of their paper cider cups in the easiest way, by turning the cups upside down and crushing them.

The big event of the evening took pla ce when Lee Anderson announced thaf the door prize was to be drawn. There was a hushed silence as Coach Harper, chaperone of the dance, reached into the basket to draw out the winning number; then he an"nounced number three. No sign of anyone's having the lucky number was seen or heard until out stepped Dean Bale with the winning ticket. A loud roar and shouts of "it was fixed" were heard from the students. Then as the Dean handed the prize, a box of candy, to Mrs. Bale, the roar burst into applause.

Editorial Congratulations

-

In our last issue we spoke of the lack of student cooperation in C ollege activities. Whether it was the result of our e.ditorial or d ue to ~he New Spirit at Palomar this semester, the Valent1ne dance was a f1ne example of what students pulling together c.an accomplis h. The ~ance ran smoothly, music, refreshments and decorat1ons we re to ps, and e veryo ne obviously enjoyed himself. . . .

Another encouraging example was the competent way 1n wh1 c h the publicity and iicket sales for t~e Sir ~ancelot .s how were hand led. A bushel of orchids should go to Bdl Swam and h1s colleag ues.

Now that we've hit our stride, let's make Palomar the liveliest campus in the country.

Join A Club The recently adopted seven period schedule has answered the stude nts' plea for more time in which to participate in club~. This pe~i<:>~ is also being used as a practice time for various extra cumcular act1v1t1es.

The International Club, under the guidance of Mr. Heyne, is now being formed, with the Friday activity period scheduled as its IT!eeting time . The Chess Club meets on Wednesdays. as does the Student Council. The Spellbinders will soon choose a regular period for meeting.

The value of this activity period is realized by all students who are club members. Now that a meeting time has been regularly scheduled, it is up to all of us to show our appreciation by engaging who lehearted ly in club activities. As Dr. McNaughton said in his first activity period speech, students of Palomar miss a vital part of their colleg,e education when they do not participate in college social activities.

Former Students Heard From Fawn Anderson writes that she misses Palomar but finds Utah State a very fine university. She is taking fourteen hours of P. E. and Sociology. Fawn adds, " I'm dying for news from Pal omar." Her address is 250 West Center, Logan, Utah.

Bob Sund, our last year's "Frog" specialist, became a member of Southern Oregon College in September, and in January was accepted into an honor fraternity, Theta Delta Phi chapter. H e is also a member of the Ski Club. He has singled out a beautiful French G. I. bride with whom he practices French conversation, but a las he adds, "C'est triste, elle a unfari. " Bob's address is Men's Dorm., SOCE., Ashland, Oregon.

The laest news from Stanford is that two of our last year's students, Johnny Lawton and Ted Sheer, are both carrying heavy science courses and pulling straight A's.

Fine music-but then all us kids are partial to the KentonCristy combination. Th ere's a "new look" in music now, too, Les Paul has accompanied himself five times on the trick recording of "Brazil" -nice-if you like guitars. That music mangler, Spike Jones, did it again. Yup-his " People Are Funnier Than Anybody" is funnier than anything. Real gone Nellie Letcher and her rhythm needled a new bounce tune under the name of "The Song is Ended"-so is this column for this week .

Geology Class Plans Field Trips For the purpose of studying rocks and minerals found in San Diego county, the geo logy class is planning several field trips.

The Pala district is one of the richest in the world for semi-prec ious stones, being particularly famous for tourmaline and a stone called Kunzite, which is found no where else in the world. On its first trip the class will visit the Pala mines.

Available for class study is Mr. Coutts' collection of crystals and minerals gathered in various places throughout the country.

It is hoped that by the end of the yea r the class will have collected and c lassified a permanent exhibit of rocks and minerals which will be the basis for any future Palomar College museum. The class would appreciate any student donations.

CAFETERIA POPULAR DINING SPOT The students of Palomar are very fortunate to have a cafeteria which gives such excellent service and offers food at such low prices.

Mrs. McGonnell, the lady in charge, says, " I keep the cafeteria as clean as I can and serve. the best possible food for the prices we charge. " Dinners are only iwenty-five and thirty-five cents .

"Also", says Mrs. McGonnell, " I employ on ly the most competent help." This true remark will serve to introduce Freda Kerr and Mrs. Hartley at the steam table, serving those heaping portions of appetizing food; Dot Schaffer, who serves the desserts and coffee; Lorraine Lindeman, the cashier; and Leo Holland, who takes your tray after you have finished.

The cafeteria opens at 3 p.m. to serve sa ndwic hes, bottled drinks, soup, ice cream, candy and coffee.

Avocados Need Nightcaps Black frost played havoc with Vista avocado groves, Feb. 3, due to a low pressure area off Pacific coast.

Avocado growers are finding out what cold weather and low humidity in combination can do. This recent freeze, a serious blow to Southern California avocado growers, is believed to have caused more damage than the frost of 193 7. Many growers are now contemplating and in vestigating various types of f rost control.

PALOMAR PETE Fashion Note Women's dresses will look less like women 's dresses than ever before.

It is with a great deal of interest that I have been watching women's dresses. I mean that I've been observing the recent changes in the wearing apparel of the fairer sex . To be perfectly honest, though, it makes little or no difference to me what they put on. If they want to wear dresses (hereinafter to be known as sacks) with bustles that look as if they were dragging television sets behind the m, more power to 'm. If they want to wear long skirts that make them look like colorful but carelessly stitched mummies, that's all right, too. If they ~esire sacks with padding that make them look like a first-string Notre Dame tackle, that's their own business.

Having thus established my own preference for the New Look, I can continue. It was my good fortune to receive an anonymous letter yesterday from a good friend of mine. The letter said: "Dear Palomar Pete: I think that the New Look is ugly, inartistic, unsightly, unseemly, monstrous, unshapely . distorted , gruesome, ghastly, misproportioned, hideous, repulsive, uncomely, ill-looking, graceless, revolting, grotesque, and affected . It is a return to the old styles. I therefore think that it should be called the "Mew Look". It see ms to have been the old cats of the country that were the first to conform."

The writer of this letter has taken a step in the right direction.

However, in his eagerness to present both sides of the question, he has overlooked one point. These "floor-dusters" are alleviating the eyestrain of the male population.

As the great Chinese philosopher, Pal Mar Pete, once said, "Let he among us who can run the fastest be the first to insult the New Look".

Social Activities ¡How To Form A Club

Students interested in starting a club will benefit from the following outline of the procedure to be followed.

The first step is to get a list of the persons who want to join. At the same time the prospective me mbers should determine the purpose of the club.

The next step is to draw up the constitution . Good guides would be the constitutions of clubs already started. The constitution should then be submitted to the student council for ratification, and finally it must be approved by the administration. The club is then ready to function.

Now that there are activity periods every day, it is expected that a number of new clubs will be organized.

Rambunctious Rodents Corraled Lincoln Service, in the past few weeks, ha s introduced to the zoology c lass some vicious rodent guests.

The first v isitors were three pocket gophers. which were kept several weeks for observation.

The next guests were a family of field mice. Unfortunately, the mother and father had an argument. The father lost, and so he is no longer with us, but the rest of the family is doing just fine.

It is also unfo rtunate that our pocket gophers were poorly accommodated. This became apparent when they were put in a sand motel and could not accomplish the feat of burrowing a hole without having it cave in behind them.

How Red Is My Face George Case, the bus driver for Escondido (suburb of Valley Center) and all points south, not only makes mistakes as Student Body President but also in his vocatio n of bus drivi-ng.

One night during exam week George left early from school and drove as far as San Marcos railroad crossing before he discovered that Betty McCollum was not aboard. He immediately turned around, went back to Palomar College and found Betty at a basketball game.

This isn't his first experience of this type. Another time George went far out into the country off hi s route to take a passenger home.

Arriving at his destination, he stopped, turned the lights on,. opened the door, and waited for his passenger to get off-what, no passenger?

It seems that Virgin ia Showers had gone home with someone else and neglected to tell George about it.

Despite all these tribulations, George continues to be his genial self.

KITTY KORNER Well here we are again starting a new semester, attending new classes, meeting and greeting new students, and trying to get to our classes on time with ou r new schedule.

Starting the year off on the right foot was the Valentine's Dance given at the W o men 's Club House last Wednesday. Carrying out the theme of Valentine 's day, the colors of the decorations were red and white. Large broken hearts adorned the walls, but from all reports, no one on the floor had a broke n heart. Everyone had a wonderful time!

The band was exceptio nally good . . . Lucky door prize winner was Dean Bale who was presented with a heart shaped box of chocolates, He in turn gave the box of candy to Mrs. Bale.

Leo Holland made a big entrance, sporting a new pair of slacks and a perfectly dreamy blue-tweed sports coat. Seems Toni went shopping with him and helped him choose it. Toni has very good taste, and so does Leo. That girl he took to the dance was cute and in excellent taste!

Who is she Leo????

A few of the couples at the dance were Cal Lewis and Wanda Castellani, Donna Dysart and Lee Anderson, Ross Cope and Jane Sutton, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Kerby, Mr. and Mrs. Danny Meredith, Clint Smith and Pat Duncan, Gordon Mad ley and Louise Gootgeld, Stan Cook and Toni Michael, and Mary Richardson and Sandy McCloud.

A rather unique set of couples were the Marshalls and the Henrys.

Big brother Jim Marshall took Phyllis Henry (newspaper reporter on the Escondido paper) and little sister Marie went with Phyllis' brother Glen.

They believe in keeping things in the family and make very good looking couples ... Marie is one of our new students.

Another new student is Nancy Maginnis who graduated from Immaculate Heart in Los Angeles. She was escorted to the dance by Johnny Billigmeir, one of her neighbors in Valley Center.

With the girls in frilly formals, and the boys in dress suits, two of the local fellows were present at the G. R. Dance given Saturday night in Escondido. The boys were Stan Cook and Cal Lewis , the girls who took them were Marie McAnnelly and Mary Lou Taylor.

Palomar Beats Cal Poly; Clint Smith High Point Man

JrALOMAR COJLJLIEGJE

By soundly trouncing Cal Poly 40-29 in the Cal Poly gym Friday, March 13, the lads from Palomar made it clear that they took no stock in jinxes.

Playing the kind of smooth, fast basketball Coach Harper has been striving for all season. they .~umped the score from a 17-17 tie at the half to a 10 point lead, which they retained for the remainder of the game.

Earlier in the season when Palomar played Poly, Poly won 43-37.

Lack of sufficient practice has been a bad handicap all season.

SPORT The busiest sports season is at hand, with athletes competing in basketball, baseball, track and tennis. The basketball season will soon be over, with only two more games yet to be played. The last basketball game Palomar plays is with ~ntelope Valley J: C., March 6, at the l~cal gym. This should prove an 1nterest1ng game 1n that the game ran 1nto an overtime period in the first encounter at Lancaster last month.. .

About twenty baseball enthusiasts are out for our bat sw1ng1ng sport. Some of them played for Palomar last year and there seems to be some promising material among them. Most of the fellows have had from two to three years previous experience, with the better players interested in the infield positions.

Evidently there are going to be some athletes who will want to compete in all of the above sports. This will be possible to some extent by giving track preference over baseball during the months of March and April. Track meets will be held on Friday or Saturday and baseball will be played on Saturday when there are no track meets and Sundays, if there are meets on Saturday of that week. Tennis will have preference in the latter part of April and May. Intramural sports will be run off on the following dates: Inter Class Volleyball (Freshmen vs. Sophomores) March 18 during activity period, Inter Class basketball (Freshmen vs. Sophomores) March 4 at 9 o'clock; Inter Class track meet March I 1- 12 from I to 3 p.m. Come out and support your class in Inter Class sports. Later, individual sports tournaments will be run off.

So far, the schedule is incomplete for the above intercollegiate sports but the track team members will go to Glendale for the Southern California Junior College track meet and the baseball team v.:ill go to Citrus for the Southern California Junior College baseball tournament.

Oceanside Wins Again

Fallbrook Demolished

By Palomar Squad

On Friday, February 6 Palomar's basketball team again fell before Oceanside J.C.'s attack by dropping its second game to our seaside neighbors by a score of 6136, the game being played on the local floor.

Seemingly unable to hit the broad side of a barn, the P.J.C. five missed basket after basket while their opponents were sinking shots from every position.

Robert Miranda took high point honors, racking up I0 points, while Duane Sturges tallied 8; Lee Anderson, 7; Jack Clarno, 6; Bob Eichman, 2; Bill Carroll, 2; and Danny Meredith, I.

Showing a lot more spark than usual, Palomar's basketball team walloped Fallbrook town team 70 to 41 last Saturday night in the Vista High gym.

At times Palomar's basketeers showed remarkable ability in making all kinds of shots. This especially al",..,lied to Bob Miranda. He was high point man of the evening with 14 points and turned in probably his best game to date. Others sco ring for Palomar were Meredith (10), Anderson (10), Smith (12), Carroll (9), Sikes (4), Eic hman (5), Bob Clarno (4), and Dick Brennan (2).

How does golden brown waffles, hot coffee or even a Jandwlch, too, on a late Friday or Saturday night sound to you?

Our Telescope editor, Jerry Mattson, has always been a prime mover in student activities. At Anoka, Minnesota, where he at-' tended high school , he participated in football, wrestling and chorus. Due to his acting ability, he became an Honor Thespian.

Jerry's journalistic accomplishments include the posts of sports editor for the school paper, advertising manager for t he annua l and membersh ip in the writer's club .

His student activities include service as a council member, honor society member and Teen Town Hall chairman.

Equally active here at Palomar, Jerry is a student council member and member of the Spellbinders and International Club. He was one of the stage managers for Shubert Alley and is advertising manage r for the student body.

After receiving his A.A. degree here , Jerry plans to attend university. He will major in speech and looks forward to a career in radio or the teaching of speech.

Student s wh.o h<we heard his so lid piano play ing are well a ware that that is one of his c hief hobbies. Others are acting and photography.

The t hing t hat Paloma r needs most, he says, is a greater num be r of reporters for The Telescope.

The student body owes J erry a vote of t hanks for his leadership in making The Telescope an outstanding co llege paper. O n his part, J e rry ap p reciates the int erest students have shown.

Louise, although usually seer. with a group of five Escondido girls, can be easily identified by her beautiful raven black hair and her warm smile-boys take notice.

Louise went to high school in Escondido and took part in numerous school activities there. She was a member of the Girl Reserves and president of the Girls League.

Louise also worked on the Cougar staff and became business manager during her senior year .

At Palomar, Louise majors in Psychology and Journalism. Her Journalism talent is expertly exhibited in her editorials which she plans very carefully and writes ve ry well. She plans to attend the University of Southern Califorhia after she obtains her Associate of Arts degree.

Louise's favorite hobby is riding her horse Sunny Boy. She thinks more of him than of the numerous, handsome? eligible, Palomar males.

Her favorite participation spo rt t urns out to be basketball, whic h Louise plays well. Most of her vicarious sports knowledge is gotten from watching football ga mes.

Louise's favorite subject coincides with her hobbies, physical ed ucation-boys beware !

Louise believes the greatest need for Palomar is more school spirit on the part of the students.

Her idea on this subject corresponds to that of the majority of persons inte rviewed by t he Telescope.
