'A House Divided' The follow ing letter is one year old. It 'was written by a student at Little Rock Central High School, October 27, 1957, at the time when Little Rock Central H igh was "policed" by Federal troops of the 101st Airborne Division from nearby Fort Bragg, North Carol ina, w.ho were sent by President Eisenhower to enforce the Supreme Court's ruling on integration of all.white schools in the Southern states.

reprint from the RIP TIDE, the Petersburg High School publication located in Petersburg, Alaska. Ken Burton , Palomar freshman , attended Petersburg High School and in his senior year wrote to the troubled high school in Little Rock as ki ng ·f or volunteers to answer him . The Central High School girl who answered presents a powerful story of one of the pressing social problems of our time. The letter was als'o reprinted in the Austin E. Lathrop High Schbol paper, the PAYSTREAK , at Fairbanks, Alaska, and it is being reprinted once again in this issue of the TELESCOPE .

Students Answer: Can The Negro Realize Integration In The US? On October 7, 1958, a survey was taken on the Palomar College campus to examine the opinions of students on the ever increasing problem of segregation in the South. Listed below are some of the pro and con statements made by the viewed.

Elects Meazzini
Dorothy Martinez: Integration seems to be caused by the older generation r e flecting on the y outh of today. The Southerners do not have enough edu cation to understand the ir fe llowman. Instead of trying to educate their children to understand and get a long in the world, they tend to stay with the old traditions started years ago. People are people r egardless of race, color, or creed. Do n Sands: I believe that the Supreme Court has mad e the correct decision, and that the law s hould be carried out. The Supreme Court is the supreme law of the land , and it's decisions are bi Ed ing on everyone. John Steinhauser: I am against segr egation. It does more harm to the U nited States as a country, than anyth ing else. Our country's actions a r e looked upon by the rest of the world. In general, people should sit down and try to understand their fe ll owman. Arlene Andrachik: The integration or segreg~tion should be left up to the people directly involved. No one can tell other persons how they are going to act, especially if they have been raised against integration. Governor Faubus bas, I think, t he best idea yet. Start with the first grade this year and ca rry on the integration from that point. H e realizes that he can't just throw all ages together without repercussions.

On our own level now, the Comets have finished their pre-season warm-ups with good showings in all games, so we can expect to see some good bruising football contests, with the league opener here this Saturday.

At least one Co-ed P.E. class is virtually death on rabbits, squirrels, and other assorted vermin. Some would-be archers are probably quite unappreciated by these animals since many ar. rows land in the field far beyond the targets. These animal-types wot·ld be much safer on or near the targets than where they are now. Aside from broken arrows and tweaked feathers, many arrows cannot be found at all in that maze of assorted sagebrush, fox.tails and stinkweed behind the targets.
Last Sunday ,I noticed a Palomar student who recently quit the football squad playing ball with a group of 12 to 16 year old boys. Was this competition more to his liking. or was he just slumming?_ Just another high school flash who couldn't make the grade. Commette Appeal
Did you notice how many men were late to their P.E. classes last week when the Commettes practiced in front of the dressing rooms Can't understand why! ! Intra-mural sports -are underway now as Coach Myers lays the groundwork for a coming golf tournament. Another tournament planned for the year is · badminton.
Newman, Blakely Picked Outstanding Comet Football Players Two outstanding football players were selectedthis week by Coach Bob Bowman for their outstanding performance at Long Beach and Redlands. "At Long Beach I would say that halfback .Morgan Newman was the outstanding player, and at Redla.nds the most outstanding player was fullback Joe Blakely," was the opinion expressed by Coach Bowman. Morgan NeY(man At his old alma mater, Grossmont, Morgan Newman played baseball and football. He was made all Metro League third baseman, and was given a football scholarship to Palomar and San Bernardino. He is a very fast runner and good for change of pace tactics. His best effort to date was a 4Qyard touchdown · against Long Beach State. Joe Blakely Joe Blakely is one of the most popular players ever to wear the Comet uniform. Joe has always come through when the Comets badly needed an extra yard or two. Although quiet and unassuming off the field, Joe undergoes a complete change at game · time and makes few friends among opponents as --.he rips through their lines with teeth-jarring rum;. Joe had a good season last year. So far this year he is shaping up to be even better.
