Track Meet With Three Events Left O' Neil. Time: 25.2 seconds. Last of t he running events was t he 2- mile run . Travis Bagwel l won this easily. Bond also ran. Time: 12 minutes and 58 .7 seconds. First of the field events was the broad jump. Osland took his third first of the meet by out-jumping all others by two and a quarter inches. Anderson was second, followed by Maag and Ross. Distance 18' 111/2" . Osland t ook another first in the high jump, but he had to share the honors wit h Bob Hit+. Wiley and Anderson shared honors for third place, and Forrester had fifth place all to himself. Height: 5' 5". Finally, Anderson took first place for the sophomores in the pole vault. He was followed by Hit+ and Osland. Height: 10 feet. High point man for the meet was "Iron Man" Osland, who pulled in 14 points all by his loneso me. Next in the scoring honors was Anderson with 7 po ints. Th e score now stands Sophomores 30, Freshmen 33. The final score will be decided when the rest of the events are run off. The discus, javelin, and shot-put. The above times and distances are of no value whatsoever. This is because the track meet was held in a very unorganized and haphazard manner. There were no chalked marked lanes , the distances for the hurd le intervals were all d iffe rent , etc. This was the first meet for the track team, and in some cases it was the first time the boys had even par-ticipated in some of the events. The meet was put on for practice and not for record breaking performances.
---------=---- ---- -·A~Open Letter to the Palomar Student Council: Th is issue was sched uled to have appeared Apri l 4 . It is dated A pril 14 and you received it after Easte r vacation on April 18. Before condemning the Telescope staff, you may consider the following: I . The Telescope is the "official" newspape r of Pa lomar College put out by t he Journalis m class on direction of the schoo l administration and with the cooperation of the Associated Stude nt Body acting throug h the Student Council. The J ournalism class, through sale of advertising, has paid about 70 percent of the cost; the Student Council about 30 percent. The Telescope is widely circulated as rep resenting the C ollege. 2. The Journalism class is composed of those few individuals who have expressed interest in newspaper work. No co llege cred it in transferring to universiti es is given in Journalism and the class currently has only eight members . 3. There is considerable newspaper talent enrolled at Palomar, as is amply evidenced in the excellence of the two mimeographed papers, The Polecat and The Periscope, that are now publis hed anonymously. For reaso ns best known to t he mselves, t hi s ta lent prefers t o publish t he t wo sp ri g htly competing papers rather th an . to join in publish ing the paper wh1ch represents the C ollege. . 4 . Section I 0-B of the Associated Students' Constitution is quoted: "In accordance with the provisions included in this constitution, the Student Council is empowered to ap point all editors ~f stude nts' pu bl icatio ns, athletic

in early Girls
Al l but three events have been accounted for in the inte r-class meet held the last two days of last month . At the latest tal ly, t he freshmen were ahead of the sophomores by a score of 33 to 30. The final results will not be known until some time this week when the last three events will be run off. The events not yet held are: discus, javelin, and shot-put. The first event of the meet was the high hurdles. Niki Os land breezed through with a first for the freshmen. He was fo llowed by Hit+, Maag, and Kettering in that order. Time: 9. 7 seconds. Next came the I 00-yard dash. Ray Farris pulled in another first place for the freshmen by outsprinting the field. Behind Farris were Blade, Wade, Maag, and Hit+, in that order. Time: 10.6 seconds. Burman took the mile to cop a nother firs t for t he f resh me n. He was followed by G illogly. Ti me: 5 minutes and 48.4 seco nds. More points came the freshmen's way when Bagwell took the 440-yard dash. He was followed by Osland, Anderson, and Wade . Time: 56.9 seconds. Osland took his second first by out-running and out-jumping all comers in the 120-yard low hurdles. Fo llowing him were Maag, O'Nei l, and Zaberiski. No time .

Your present Student Publications Commisisoner, Jerry Matt·son, was editor of The Telescope during semester o ne. One of the reasons he gave for q uitting was t hat, as editor, he did not receive eno ug h he lp from me in puttin g o ut the paper. Further, t he printer has said that last year he rarely saw a student; the faculty advise r put out the paper. Evidently a muc h larger proportion of the essentia l work was done by fhe adviser. The practice was not continued this yea r for the following reasons: a. Students learn how to publish a newspaper , in my opin ion, by publ ishing a newspape r, not by having the adviser publish . t he paper. b. Last year's adviser earned his living from ful l-time employme nt at Palomar. My temporary con nection with the College, undertake n as an emergency measure two weeks after sc hool began, is ve ry slig ht amo unting to only t hree classroom hours per week. Remune rat ion is equally modest a mounting t o co nsiderab ly less, afte r ded uctions, t ha n if I exe rcised my G l right and attended Palo mar as a part-time student. 6.

flash / Dr. McNougiJtfJn l(esigns The following letter of resignation was ha nded t o the govern ing board by President Daniel C. McNa ughton a nd was read by board clerk, Frood P. Sm it h, as the last act of boa rd business at the regular meeting last nighi-. April 13, 1949 To The Gove rning B,oard of Palomor College: During the first three years of its existence Palomar College has grown steadi ly in its enrollmnt and in its service to the commu nity. The growth has been possible only beca use of the hard unselfish effort on the part of many P.eo ple inte;·esi·ed in the college. T-his cooperation has been ! ustaining to me in the s}renuous work of administering .the co llege a nd directing the progra m through its first years. After seriou s consideration it is my belief that t he progress of Palomar College will be stimulated at this time by new leadership. I, therefore, request that I be released fro m my contract as of June 30th, 1949. Yours respectfully, DANIEL C. McNAUGHTON, Pres. Dr. McNaug ht on 's resignation was accepted by the board.

Comets Sluughter Explorers 19 . 2 The blazing Comets from Palomar broke out in a free scoring rash as they humbled a fair ball club from Balboa University 19-2 at Escondido's Finney Field Monday afternoon. Gathe ring in e ight runs in the initial inning , the Co mets were never in tro uble t hroug ho ut the contest. Pitcher Tom Canady started the game and for f ive innings limited the Explorers to only four hits while striking out four and walking two men. Starting the sixth inning, Marvin Brewer took over the pitching c hores and althoug h yielding only three hits, he was nicked for the only two runs scored against the Comets. He struck out three and walked none to fin ish out the ga me . The local boys really went to town on the Explorers as they hit the visitor's pitcher almost at will. In the first inning, the Comets batted all the way around the lineup and even started the cycle again before taking the field. Every member of t he team turned in a great performance at bat as they hit for an excel lent .500 bating average, which is p retty good in any league. Every Comet had t he honor of crossing home plate at least once, but third baseman Donovan O 'Neill and second baseman Bob Clarno were high, scoring three runs apiece followed by shortstop Dick Smith and outfie lder Clint Smith with two tallies to the ir ere-
dit. Roger Cole contributed one of the best efforts of the day as he drove in three runs with his one base hit and scored one for hi mself. Others who figured in t he scori ng spree were Lee A nderson, who got three hits in five t ri ps to the pla te for batting honors, Billy O'Niell, Jack C larno , Ha rvey Da le, Norman Bucher, To m Canad y, John Hall and Marvin Brewer, a ll of whom crossed home plate fo r a run.
COMETS BLANK RIVAL SPARTANS Pitc hing beh ind good batting and fielding support fro m his t ea m mates, Tom Canady pitched himself a one-hitter, as he blanked t he near-by rivals from O cea nsideCarlsbad College 4 to 0 at t he Oceanside Recreation Pa rk, Frid ay afternoon. Hustling Lee A nderso n, Comet centerfielder who p layed a st a nd out game a ll aro und, led th e run scoring parade as he crossed home plate t wice, followed by Billy 0 'Niel l rig ht fie lder, and shortsto p Dick Smith with one run a piece. The victory made it two in a row for the Comets in league co mpetition and thus they will invade t he El Centro Arab's camping grou nd comes April I with a clean slate in conference play.
