HELP! HELP WANTED. That's what the sign in the journalism room reads. According to Wallace F. Gray, journalism instructor, the Telescope is badly in need of reporters. If the student is willing to write even one story for the paper, help sell ads, or simply cover a beat and report in when there is a story, he should either come to room C-6 fourth period Tuesday or Thursday or contact Larry Connolly , Telescope editor. "We are very eager to find good prospects for our staff nex~ semester and to acquaint them with the process of publishing the Telescope," said 1'11r, Gray. The Telescope editor has stated that it would be a good idea if all the organizations and groups on the campus would elect a publicity chairmen who would see that the Telescope received news of all important events which tie members would want published.

'JJlE TELESCOPE

Joke" Exposed
The originator of the Troutman Joke is on the campus l Yes, the young man whose name will go down in history beside those of such gagsters as Bob Hope, Jack Benny, and Tom Lasswell is right here on the campus, attending his classes when he is able to tear himself away from reporters and autograph seekers. Mr. Troutman was kind enough to grant the Telescope his permission to print the original Troutman Joke for those of you
whohave not already heard one of these marvels. It seems that a certain seedy looking chap was striding down Main Street one day when suddenly he walked into alarge, handsome store. After he stood around for a few minutes, he was waited upon by a young man who asked what it was he wished. "I'd like to buy a book," the fellow said. The clerk informed him that they didn't carry books and that there was a bookstore two blocks down the street anyway. "That's all right. I •11 wait, " was the reply. The would-be customer pulled up a chair. The clerk •couldn•t figure it out.
After about ten minutes, the clerk began to wonder if his mind was playing tricks on him, so he walked back again to ask the fellow what he wanted, only to find he still persisted he wanted a book. "But, we're not a bookstore, sir," the clerk said. "It would take us better than two weeks to receive the book if we ordered it for you." "I'm still willing to wait," he persisted. Eventually the sight of this seedy-looking character just sitting aroused the manager's curiosity and he inquired of the clerk as to what it was all about. Duly astonished when he discovered the reason, he walked over to investigate the situation himself. "Tell me, Sir, is it true you wish to buy a book?" the manager inquired. "Book?" replied the chap. "Who said anything about a book? I came in here to buy a pocket knife." John Troutman, the inventor of the foregoing masterpiece, claims that such jokes are perfect for driving your motherin-law,or a similar beast out of your presence. The big (6r lt", 198 lbs.) transfer from San Diego State, informed me that anyone could manufacture a Troutman joke by merely taking the punch line away and substituting a meaningless phrase.
By Tom Lasswell
"Yes, I am wonderfu~ and I have done everything worth doingt" And so I bade a fond farewell to Bill Dae, otherwise known as the Tennessee Ernie of Palomar College. As I turned to walk away, I saw an old man in a wheel chair coming down the walk. It was LeMoine Schick, Palomar's own 64year old quarterback. In a wavering voice, he said 11 We got the far'." I guess the Knight's initiation was just too much for him. Grinning Toothlessly at me were those three advertiserrents for Dr. Beauchamp's "non-wiggle" dentures, Ed Ward, Bob Riley, and Butch Hancock. I hear that next year they are going to Notre Dame. They certainly have the smile for it.

Like a- pretty sound stomping, but it doesrlt g ive the full story of a fighting little band of Comets. All through a season hampered by injurie~ and badbreak~, the fellov,rs never got their dabbers dov;n.
