.College Gets Electronics Warfare Unit
Veterans Ag Department Leads State
As the result of a discussion between Dr. McNaughton, Mr. Coutts and Commander Lowe, District Naval Reserve Communicati ons officer, a complete radio receiving and tran smitting. Electronics Warfare Unit is now installed on the campus of Palomar College. The unit will train Naval Reserve members in the operation and maintenance of electronic equipment and in radio communications. The equipment for the time being will be housed in a mobile unit near the science building. Plans include a new building which will furnish space for additional equip~ ment and maximum classes. The radio receivers and transmitters will be available for use by licensed amateurs 'Who belong to the unit. Classes in radio theory and in Morse code will enable beginners to qualify for an amateur's license. , j The equipment will be available • for demonstration purposes in college science classes. Any person who is in the Naval Reserve, or who wishes to join the Volunteer Naval Reserve, is eligible to join the unit. Former Army men can transfer with ratings equivalent to those held in the Army. Tentative plans call for regular meetings on Thursday nights, but a definite date will be announced later. Any student interested in learning radio and electronics and in becoming a member of the Volunteer Naval Reserve should see Lieutenant Commander C. A. Coutts, U.S.N.R., who is in charge of this station.
Boa stin g an enrollment of I00, the Veterans Agriculture class at Palomar is now the largest in California, so stated E. W. Everett, State Supervisor of Veteran Training, in a recent conversation with Laurence Jackson, head of the agriculture department here. Not only is the department here the largest in the state, it is probably the most active. At the thirty third National Orange Show, San Bernardino, March 13, the Palomar team, composed of Ed Lindley, Joe Caldwell and Delmar Perigo, placed second in the state finals for citrus judging. Competing against students from schools and colleges all over California, Ed Lindley took first prize in the judging of packed oranges, and Joe Caldwell won the second place ribbon in the judging of packed lemon s, oranges and grapefruit. Seventy-five students s p e n t March 26 on the UCLA campus, where the Dean of the Agricultural College, Dr. Hodgso n, and the Director of the Sub-tropical Horticulture department, Dr. Cameron, spent the day in the field showing them the results of many year's work by the University on citrus rootstock and avocado culture. The group also viewed experiments in flower breeding being carried on by the Ornamental Horticulture department. Last Tuesday the advanced class toured the following local growers: Vinson-Fortner, local flower shippers; the Orville Williams ranch near San Luis Rey, gladioli and vegetable crops; the Paul Barrett ranch near San Luis Rey, celery and cucumber crops; and the Rex McDaniel ranch near Oceanside, strawberry and pepper crops.
NEW COLLEGE HOME HAS LIVELY PAST San Marcos, a small but up and coming, hard working town, is the future home of Palomar College. Its history as well as its present day activities make it an interesting little city. Not far from the college site and to southwest was at one time the location of the old San Marcos grammar school. This burned down many years ago. Also close to the site there was an oil well which showed very good oil bearing sand and rock. San Marcos during the olden times was a very large g~ain, hay, and cattle producing valley. Now the raising of citrus fruits, chickens, dairy cattle, horses, bees and rabbits is the chief industry. Part of the McKeen ranch, formerly the Trent ranch, was obtained for the college. The ranch is about one and a half miles west of San Marcos on Highway 395. The layout of the land is very attractive, with low rolling hills forming a background. Water should be no problem, for it is rumored that a large storage dam is to be built above the school site by the Vista Irrigation District. Two fine airports are near at hand, which should be able to furnish flight instruction as well as charter flights. Students from the larger cities such as San Diego and Los Angeles will find transportation easy. Fire protection is close at hand. A State Division of Forestry truck and the Volunteer Fire Department are both available at San Marcos. San Marcos will be the hub for the whole of the Palomar College District and is central to Escondido, Vista, Encinitas, Fallbrook and Ramona.
The members of the Dramatics class strike out for laurels with a new play to be presented Thursday evening, May 6, in the High School auditorium. The class has chosen "Ladies of the Jury," a Broadway hit which has provided laughs in all the leading theatres of the country. The play is now completely cast, and rehearsals are under way, Mr. Twissel man directing. Enthusiasm runs high as the cast realizes the possibilities of excellent entertainment in a good production. The audience will see the thrilling courtroom scene where Mrs. Yvette Yvet Gordon (Carolyn Brew) is on trial for the murder of Coming like the brea~h of her husband.

HOLLYWOOD CHOIR SINGS SPIRITUALS The Wings Over Hollywood Negro choir gave the Palomar student body and music lovers of Vista an evening of musical enjoyment when they appeared at the Vista High School auditorium, March 15. This is the second time the Negro choir has appeared in Vista, and judging by the audience size and reaction this performance won't be the last. The Wings Over Hollywood choir was formerly with the nationally known Wings Over Jordan choir, which has appeared all over the United States. Dr. Harry Landis opened the program with the Invocation. Following the Invocation, Dr. Landis then presented the choir under the distinguished directing of Mr. Charles King. • Among the Negro spirituals offered by the choir were "Where Shall I Be When the First T rumpet's Blown," featuring the beautiful soprano voice of Miss Esther Overstreet; "Run Sir Run," "Give Away Jordan," with Clarence Small taking the solo; and "Don't Stay Away Brother." Popular with the audience was the deep bass voice of Allison White singing "Little David Play On Your Harp." With every note of "Little David" by Mr. White, a ripple of laughter went through the crowd. From the beautiful rendition and rhythm in which the Wings Over Hollywood choir rxesented the Negro Spirituals, it was easy to see how the popular American Jazz originated from this sort of music.

The ship pulled slowly into the harbor. As I held my hand tight on the railing, I could see in the distance the first skys~rapers. of Ne_w York. Suddenly I was afraid, as I had never been before 1n my l1fe. Th1s was a new world to me, new people, new habits. Would I like it? At this thought I started to cry. Somebody was watching me, but I didn't care. I wanted to go back to Italy; I wanted to be with my friends, to see again all the streets and places that I knew. I walked down the gangplank and looked around me. This was the port of New York. I walked around w_ith a friend I ~ad made during the trip. It was nine o'clock when we amved. By the t1me our luggage was unloaded, it was four in the afternoon. I said goodbye to my friend and we promised to write to each other. . We took a taxi to go to a hotel because we were all very t1red. I didn't want to miss anything; so I looked always out of the window. Everybody seemed to be in a hurry, rushing to get to their destination. I thought New York was beautiful with her skyscrapers standing erect, with her large streets, and wonderful stores. What 1mpressed me even more were the people. They all seemed so friendly and nice. _Th~y all had a smile for everybody. I thought that was wonderful. A smde 1s the most beautiful thing in the world. It has the power to make you feel at home whe'rever you are. Then from New York we took the train for Chicago. I liked Chicago too. It gave me the impression of a business city, because most of her buildings were business like. The people were friendly there too. Then, after three months, we moved to California. I love her valleys the green of her fields, her rocky mountains and her blue sky. America is such a wonderful country that it could be called a paradise. Everyone of the forty-eight states is different, each beautiful an? interesting, but the people are the same. Th~y all are wonderful Amencan people. All I can say about America or to America I can say in just three words, "I love you" . L. G.
International Fiesta We listened attentively to Dr. I. James Quillen a few weeks ago and learned some of the many things that a college can do to promote friendly relations in its community. One of the things was to promote festival affairs, including folk songs, folk dances and folk customs of all nations. This should be a particularly happy project for us at Palomar to work on because we are new and are making efforts to establish worthwhile institutions. We must be flexible and open-minded to the affairs of the world and do our part in bringing about World Peace. Last year's "Fiesta" was planned to be carried on from year to year as one of the established institutions of our school. It was a tremendous success. However, it follows the identical pattern of so many activities in this community, stressing only one nation's customs. It would be indicative of Palomar's leadership to rise above such limitations and include all nations. Our school and community is made up of all nationalities, and as we think about establishing institutions for Palomar, let us dedicate one day each year to the promotion of friendly international relations here in our college community by establishing an "International Fiesta."
Gems of Wit Recently in Mr. Smith's sociology class the discussion concerned today's social customs. Naturally the discussion drifted to the New Look. Professor Smith said he overheard his wife telling a friend she hated to go to the city because most of her dresses were not long enough and she felt conspicuous. Bill Swain was overheard to say, 'Of course you took the hint?" Another time the class was discussing the over-proportion of suicides in the city, as compared to the country. A timid voice fr~m the rear was heard to say, "This past freeze hasn't altered those f1gures, has it?"
Gem Display Oh-ing and ah-ing in astonishment, the third period geology class was treated to a look at a very beautiful display of semi-precious gems, which were brought in by Tom Meier, a student of the class. Tom's grandfather, Mr. C. E. Hayes, is the proud owner of the collection. Although most of the stones were acquired in the United States, some of them were acquired from South America. Mr. Hayes didn't collect t~em pe:sonally but came into possession of them through a club of wh1ch he IS a member. Most oft his tools, such as cutters and polishers, are hand made. Stones in the collection included mossagates, jaspers, and quartz.
PALOMAR PETE I hardly know what to write about. In the last issue my honest discussion of the New Look, which really isn't worth looking at, brought me nothing but trouble. Therefore, today I will write nothing derogatory about the fairer sex, or women either. One of the most over-rated things in the world today is modern science. For years, small children have been taught that the earth is round. I use small children as an example, rather than college freshmen, because you can't teach freshmen anything. Anyway, after much research (I read eight copies of the Daily Worker and three hundred an? forty-three issues of Smokey Moore's Little Green Sheet) the answer 1s obvious. The world is no longer round it's crooked. Obituary notice-Our neighbor's dachsund. dog, whose name was Guy (he ~as a_ gay ~og/, died yesterday mor.ning. Eve~yone on our street is mourn1ng h1s unt1me y dem1se. He met h1s end gomg around _a, tree. This was supposed to be the end of the column, but I· .se~ 1t s too short. I can't quit until I've done three hundred words. So th1s IS a good place to make a plea for more clubs on the campus (no, not the kind of clubs that you'd like to use on Palomar Pete). How about a club for the Preservation and Protection of all Two-Headed Freshmen? That was only a suggestion, but I'm actually starting a club of my own. It's called the Palomar Pete Pleasure and Play Society. Dues are $1.83 a month (make your checks payable to me) and there are no other requirements. The object of this worthwhile society is your humble correspondent. That's all.

Features Surface Scratch Tex Beneke has one gone number now by the name of "Cherokee Canyon "-has a Kenton-like introduction (sounds like a smasha-hogan trio). But Tex also has a new one that 's quiet. It's as easy listening as the name, "Moonlight Whispers", implies. In this number Tex blows that mellow tenor sax so sot+ like a-a-well, like a honk-ahogan with a mute. That English tune, "Swing Low Sweet Clarinet" is sure catching on here in the U. S. Woodrow Herman has ju st needled it. He plays a lot of sweet clarinet behind Mary Ann McCall, who does the vocal honors.
Flying Cross Graces San Marcos Rites Say what you want about the flying discs, but the people of San Marcos have one on all of you. Easter Sunday at sunrise services those present were treated to a display of good flying when six small airplanes, in the form of a large cross, flew over the hill-top on which the cross was erected. This formation was devised by the San Marcos flight of the Civil Air Patrol, George Almand flight leader. The airplanes were all from McCormick Field, San Marocs.
We Apologize The Telescope staff regrets the omission of Herman Allenbach's name in past editions, for he has contributed much of his time and effort in securing ads for several issues. He is a member of our staff advertising division and we are proud of the work that he has done.
McNAUGHTON ASSOCIATION SECRETARY Dan C. McNaughton, our president, has been elected to a two year term as secretary-treasurer of the Junior College Association of California. Dr. McNaughton will serve with John Lounsbury, of San Bernardino Valley College, who was named association president. WHAT DO YOU SAY? Hi? The power to choose the work I do, To grow and have the larger view, To know and feel that I am free, To stand erect, not bow the knee, To be no chattel of the State, To .be the master of my fate, To dare, to risk, to lose to win, To make my own career begin, To serve the world in my own way, To gain in wisdom day by day. With hope and zest to climb the r1se I call that PRIVATE ENTERPRISE. Borrowed from "The National " ECHO" who borrowed it from "The Scarlet Quill."

Social Activities Sflcilll Clu/J ffJrmed

A social club for the furtherance of dances, hay rides, beach parties and other activities at Palomar had its beginning March 18 during the activity period. The meeting was called by Mrs. Harper, who presided and who is extremely interested in student promotion of social activities. It was voted that a temporary administrative board of five should be set up. These five people-Gilbert Gillogly, Walt Towne, Fern Soderstrom, Barbara Donath and Josie Rubio-were elected and will have the responsibility of calling future meetings until a more permanent board is set up. Suggestions are requested.
PeDple YfJu SnfJuld Meet Continuing from last issue our introduction of new students, we should like to present first two talented members of the Palomar band, James Hillbrecht and William Padelford from Escondido. Bill transferred · here from San Diego State. James Waugh and Arthur McDaniel both hail from Vista. Jane Sutton, Fallbrook, trc;~nsferred here after a semester at U.S.C. and enjoys Palomar very much. Ruby Iverson, a Kansas girl, ha s been assisting her husband, Laurel, in the book store. Walt Towne from San Diego enjoys sports and girls and see ms to be successfu l with either. Mrs. Alice Chandler, formerly of Texas and now of Twin Oaks, in addition to her study here teaches at Murrietta. Quite a program. Hubert Clapp, mid-year graduate from Vista High, is interested in many activities and likes junior college life. Mildred Goodwin, Escondido, is taking a commercial course. Stan Maag is a Vista boy and a star reporter on The Telescope. Morse McDonald's friends will be glad to know that "Junior" is faring well at Oklahoma A&M. With board and room at thirty-nine dollars per month and girls plentiful, good looking and friendly, the former Soph prexy is enjoying his studies there .
KITTY KORNER A big surprise to everyone was the recent marriage of Jean White and Warren E:ngleman, who eloped to Las Vegas. They were married over two weeks ago, but managed to keep it a secret until now. Good news like that shouldn't be kept secret! Best of everything, you two, in your new venture. Another spring marriage was that of Norma Tunnel and Jimmie Hull, who were married at the ,Co mmunity Church in Vista on Easter Sunday. The bride was a close friend of many Palomar students, with whom she graduated last June. Lorraine Lindeman was Norma's maid of honor and Fern Sode~strom was one of the bridesmaids. Attending· the wedding from Palomar were Jeanne Courtier, Francis Horak, Donna Dysart, Herman Hesse, Leonard Castillo, Stan Cook, and S_tan Maag. A party was given after the ceremony, a large crowd attend1ng. (I hear they really had a good time). . Bill Swain and Gloria Contreras will have something to celebrate this Sunday, because April I I makes a year that they have been going steady. Along with their regular Saturday night dates, they went to a dance at the Coronado Hotel to celebrate the victory of Coronado's tennis team. Bill's quite interested in tennis you know-along with Gloria! Congrats you two. Did you notice Sandy Mcleod's gorgeous bow tie? There's a new fad now-instead of using your eyes to wink at the girls, you use a Flashy tie to wink with. Little light bulbs is the big secretA! Keogh and Barbara Donath went to the snow in Idyllwild while we here in Vista were enjoying our California rain. Betty McCollum and Paul Hyde went to San Diego after school one night-just drove around town, but it seems they had a very good time. Girls! You're getting careless! Jim Marshall found a pair of nylons in the Escondido school bus Friday night and still can't find a •pair of legs to fill them. One of the spectators at the Vista fire (the red barn) was Tootie Bice, who had quite a time watching all the women standi ng around in robes and pin curls. The excitement was so great that hardly anyone noticed Stan Cook's new Studebaker being towed into town by an Oceanside tow truck. While out on a double date with Stan Maag, Marie McAnnally, and Anita Ronay, he had a little run in with another car. No one was hurt, thank heaven, but it was quite a jolt. It should serve as a good lesson to the rest of you rainy day drivers--drive slow! Two couples who are going steadily although not "stead y" are Marie Marshall and Tom Halde, and Louise Gootgeld and Jim Marshall, Make two darling couples. If you've noticed a number of funny little people, snappin,g pictures right and left . . . you have seen members of Mr. Mort1mer s photography class taking their first pictures, to be developed and enlarged b,y the students as their first assignment. They have the use of the schools dark room and are having loads of fun doing their home work. ----

RTS--=PALOMAR TAKES OCJC 6-5 LOCAL BATTERS IMPRESSIVE Last Thursday the Palomar baseball team played its best game of the season to defeat the Oceanside-Carlsbad Spartans 6-5 on their own field. With Dawson pitching for Oceanside, and Stewart for Palomar, both pitchers went the entire 9-inning game. Palomar got off to a good start in the first inning by scoring 2 runs. In this inning Stewart, tirst man up, received a free pass; O'Neill flied out to center field; Smith . hit a one-bagger; and Engleman was walked, tilling the bases. On his t1rst pitch to Clarno, Dawson threw a wild ball, which hit Clarno, and forced Stewart in tor the first counter. Miranda then took his cut but flied out to second base. In the meantime Smith scored the second run of the game when he crossed home plate as Hilton, Spartan catcher, permitted the ball to get by him. Madley then ended the rally by hitting a fly ball to left field. Oceanside made its half of the inning short and sweet with three up and three down. No scores were entered by either team in the second inning, but in the third inning Palomar again tallied 2 runs, with Smith and Engleman crossing the plate. Oceanside 's half of the third inning also saw their first score when Bunyard, the only man walked by Stewart in the entire game, made the circuit. In the fourth inning Palomar was scoreless, while the Spartans brought Feldt and Hilton home, making the score 4-3. In the fifth inning Engleman scored again on Miranda's twobagger, but in the last half of the sixth Oceanside staged a two point rally when Hilton and Dawson scored, making it all even at 5 ·runs each. In the seventh and eighth innings both teams were scoreless, but in the eighth inning each team manufactured a double play. 0-C's double came first when the ball. hit by Ste.wart, was fielded by the shortstop, Astleford, thrown to Davila at second to put out Standerfer, and then to T1ler at first to put out Stewart and retire Palomar. Feldt, Oceanside 's first man up, hit safely to reach first, but on the second ball pitched to him, Hilton hit into the double play when he hit to Clarno, who fielded the ball, threw to O 'Neill who came from short to head off Feldt at second, then threw to Engleman at first to stop. Hilton. Janetski flied out to left f1eld for the third out. In the final inning O 'Neill made a one base hit, and reached third when the center fielder booted the ball to right field. Smith flied out to shortstop, but Engleman brought in the winning r~n ?Y a sacrifice which enabled 0 Nedl to . cross the plate, placing Palomar in the lead 6-5. Clarno made a foul fly to catcher for the. +h.ird out. In their half of the last 1nn1ng Davila hit a fly to Clarno at sec-

OCOTILLO TARGET FOR BREAKFAST HOP Two flyers from Palomar, Sandy McCloud and Norman Bucher, participated in a breakfast flight, March 21, from McCormick Field in San Marcos to Ocotillo in the Borego Desert. Fourteen Civilian Air Patrol members also made the flight. The take off time was 8:25 a.m. Everyone arrived at Ocotillo at 9:30 a.m. or thereabouts. While waiting for chow the male members walked out on the dry lake which makes up the landing strip and looked for smoke bombs, which the Navy had dropped for practice during the war. Many of the boys found pieces of bombs but no whole ones. The chow was heartily eaten by the membe rs, for they were all quite hungry. The menu included bacon, eggs, hot cakes, coffee and all the trimmings. This type of flight affords good practice in cross country flying, landings and take-offs on strange field s, formation flying and just plain good flying practice. Although the flight was a great success, bigger and better breakfast flights are being planned by all who took part in the last one.
Life of Fruit Fly Intrigues Biologists The zoology and biology classes in the near future will experiment with "DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER", alias the fruii· fly, for the purpose of studying genetics and getting a better understanding of heredity. The fruit fly, which may be found on any hot mid -summer day skating around on rotten banana~ or fruit stands, is an excellent subrect because its life is short, it is very pr?lific and it requires very little liv1ng space. Sc1entists have gained much valuable information about genetics by studying th is little insect with the long name.

Jeorg, Baker Head International Club
Spellbinders Told Matterhorn Ascent Perilous Trip AI Jeorg gave the Spellbinders, (the soap-box orators of Palomar) a "hair-raising, spine-chilling" talk on the adventures of "Climbing the Matterhorn", April 2, during activity period in the cafeteria. "There are four essential needs to successfully climb the Matterhorn, declared AI: first, perfect equipment; second, nerves of steel; third, great physical strength and fourth, teamwork." The most important of these is teamwork , AI informed his interested audience . Equipment consists of properly made boots with two inch nails and a special attachment with a set of three-inch needlepoint-sharp spikes. Yards and yards of faultl es~ly constructed rope are required. Lives have been lost because of a single fault or weakness in the rope, AI pointed out. A special pick about three feet long with a blade on one side and a point on the other is carried in the belt. This pick has a specially constructed pointed handle. To enable the climbers to pull themselves up the steep sides, specia l spikes with a loophole at the upper end through which the rope is passed are hammered into the crevices in the ice every few feet. "Nerves of steel" explained AI are nerves that cannot be easily upset, such as allowing the dizziness that everyone experiences when looking down from great heights to effect the nerves. An accident may happen any time; every member of the party must work with calm precise movements. The mind mu st be quick to respond (continued col. 2)

The members of the International Club elected the following officers at their meeting •held in bungalow 13, April 5. President, AI Jeorg; Vice-President, Mrs. Baker; Secretary and Treasurer, L. Giovannini. The remainder of the period was used to discuss internationa l problems. At the [lext meeting "Tolerance" will be discussed.
Escondido Office Opened By Alumnus Announcing the opening of her office in the new E. N. Stafford Building, 256 East Second Avenue, Escondido, Wednesday , March I0, Miss Margaret Dornan, a graduate of Palomar College , stated that she felt there was a "definite need" for a public stenographer in Escondido. Last year, Margaret aided in the efficient operation of the bookstore and the printing of the school paper . Having supplemented her language courses w1th commercial courses, Margaret is· especially well prepared tor the dut1es of a public stenographer.
MATTERHORN (continued from col. I) and the eyesight keen to observe; a tract1on ot a second in delayed action on the part ot any oRe member endangers the lives of the entire c rew. The climb is mapped out previous to the start; the .time and movement of every man is indicated . Ev~ryone in the crew must be of one mind on all situations . If there is a difference of opin ion either before or on the trip, the trip is discontin ued. Only one man moves at a time. The first man has the most difficult task, according to AI. Every man is attached to the same rope, about 25 to 30 feet apart. If a man disappears into a crevice through the snow, the other members remain secured and proceed to pull the man to safety. The rope attaching them goes over the shoulders, through the legs and around the chest. "To me climbing the Matterhorn is not a sane sport" said AI, "but there are numero us attempts." Statistics show that there have been ISO lives lost in the attempt. Most of the tries are on the north wall, the most da(lgerous to ascend. In one of the most recent attempts , four liv.es were lost because one of the crew falsely bragged of his .capabilities as a climber. Hi s weakness in strength caused him to slip, striking the next man below in the face; four lives were lost becau se of this one man. The three survivors reported that they shook for a half hour after the accide nt, which happened on their descent. Therefore, concluded AI, without "teamwork" it is impossible to successfully climb the Matterhorn.
"The World 's Food Proble m and Its Only Cure' was the subject of Dr. Kovach's stimulating message to the International Club, a group of students with a ltruistic interests, meeting during activity period March 19, in bungalow No . 13. "World conversion to vegetariani sm would eventually solve the world's food problem, benefit man's health, add years to his life and decrease the high cost of his living," is the opinion of Dr. Kovach, who speaks with authority on the subject after twenty-five years of research, thought and practical experience. Reviewing an article in H arper's, Febru ary issue, written by Leslie Walker, the doctor pointed out that the article actually contai ned no apparent solution of the situa. tion, but merely stated the appalling facts with which the world finds itself faced today . "The world today is faced with the problem of an increasing population and a decreasing food supply. It is estimated that th ere are in the world t oday approximately 21j4 billion people and about 4 billion acres o f arable land. However, 21f2 acres of arable land are required to produce the minimum necessities for a single individual. Today there is only I. 77 acres of arable land available per individual," quoted Dr. Kovach from the article.
