Piano Recital Given By Palomar Students
Free Speech Discussing the topic "Can We Afford Complete Freedom of Speech", Laurel Iverson, George Case, Ray Kerby and Jerry Mattson spoke Tuesday night over KSDJ. Bill Julian, head of the Palomar English department, acted as moderator. The program was sponsored by the Audio-Visual department of the San Diego County schools, which presented Palomar students in a similar program last year. Jerry Mattson advocated that known subversive groups, such as Communists, Fascists, Klansmen and Bundists, should not be granted the privilege of freedom of speech. Differing sharply with Jerry, Laurel Iverson demanded that freedom of speech be expanded rather than restricted. He referred to President Truman's Civil Rights Bill as evidence that even under the provisions of the Constitution minority groups are being deprived of civil liberties. In view of the activities of the Thomas committee, he called for an additional freedom, the right to keep one's mouth shut. George Case and Ray Kerby took a middle-of-the-road position, both favoring restrictions on groups which advocate violent overthrow of our government but advocating zealous protection of other minority groups. Those who heard the program lauded the participants for presenting a forceful and lucid discussion.

Patrons Hear Art Talk By Schaumburg A highly informative discussion on "'Design and Color in the Home ", was conducted by Donald Schaumburg, head of the College Art department, before the Patrons of Palomar during their meeting April 15 in the student lounge. Mr. Schaumburg, in an informal and interesting manner, summed up the various aspects to be considered in making rooms more attractive. The size and shape of the room, the direction in which it is facing, and the view to be seen from within the room, are all factors which must be taken into account. Mr. Schaumburg then explained the relation of colors to one another and the application of color harmony to create unity within the rooms of the house. Objects created by the College Arts and Craft classes were displayed at the meeting, and Mr. Schaumburg described the methods used in their creation. Walter and Betty Clopine, Mary Slivcoff, Sarah Christensen, Margery Martin and Mrs. Schoneman were a few of the students whose works were exhibited. Business of the meeting was the election of officers. Mrs. Lyman Thompson, vice-president, presi.ded in the absence of Mrs. Dan1el McNaughton, president. It was unanimously voted to draft Mrs. McNaughton for another term. Mrs. Beth Julian, Vista, was elected vice-president; Mrs. Eleanor Morosco, Escondido, secretary; and Mrs. Astrid Arthurs, San Marcos, treasurer.
