The only definite thing that can be said for the show is that it was obviously spontaneous and unrehears ed. . Don Bandick M.C. 1 d this miserable ni ghtmare.

Congradulations.Don.for sheer guts. The show was opened by the Band (?) 1 which featured Don John blowing like the devil on his baritone in a heroic effort to retain some semblance of music through out the number. Next came a humorous rea ding by Chuck Drew which had the audience roarin£.The succes s of this number was undoubtedly due to the fact t hat Mr. Drew punctuated his rendition by stepping on the microphone wire which caused strange howling noises to ensue from the speaker system. Mr. Drew was follmved by Hr. Tom Lass1vell who wisely refrained from using the micronhone and came forth vrith a passable reading fr om ~r~e~ Pasture~. Hr. Bandick then moun ec: he stage to introduce the concluding act. Included in this introduction was thi~ statement: "We are proud to have this group on campus. At the close of t his i ntroduction, the A Cappella Choir filed in tothe limelight and sang three selections with a11 the skill and beauty of a third-grade Sunday School class. This concluded the program and the applause S? charitably offered by t he audie nce was more from rel1ef, I fear, than f rom appr eciation. I realize that I b.ave stepped on quite a few toes in the preceding paragr aphs. I have done this, not in an attempt to be funny or smart, but rather to express the oninion that the Associated Student Body should sho1-1 at least a modicum ol" priae in its school's activities.The failure of Tuesday's pror.;r am is a result of poor planning and the complete lack of rehearsal. I would therefore like to ask that in regard to any further theatrical perforl.'l'l.!lces. tile Student Body resolve, in our mm interest, that we will take no part in any program that has not been thoroughly planned and rehearsed ahead of time. Having accepted this resolution,let us then willingly make ourselves available for these rehearsals vrhen they ar.e called. A noor performsuch as wa~ witnessed Tuesday night does far more harm to the prestige of our school than no performance at all.

The Palomar A Canella choir journeyed to Los Angeles last Friday and Saturday to particinate in the annual Southern California Junior College Husic Festival. Enjoying a scenic tour of beautiful Los Angeles, some members of the group fir.ally found the "hotel" in one of the city's more exclusive rections; mmely, Fifth and Main. The Hotel Rosslyn, situated between Burlesque shows, poolhalls, liquor stores, and a few scattered " Shoeshine" stands, offered much to the adventureloving PJC students. The more courageous ones ventured outside the hotel after dark, but many of the girls found their adv~nture in merely walking through the slighly rundown hotel lobby. vie were told that the Rosslyn was once one of Los Angeles' best hotels. It must have been a long time ago'! Most of the students en .i oyed a quiet evenin!S in their (eighth floor) rooms, wi. th. only cccasional flurries of broken glass, doors, etc. So much for this mess--

'Palomar Future Great' Says Putnam "Palomar has a potentially great future. The school has the essential elements that make up a superior college." So snoke Dr. Phil Putnam in an intervievr ui ti1 The Telesco~ recently. ~ng the most valuable assets of Palomar, Dr. Putnam said, is the "most outstanding student body" •rith its great interest in the vrelfare of the college and ;.rhat it has to offer.
Other fine assets Dr. Putnam listed were its faculty, its financial status, and its location. There are many members of the faculty who have taught in fine universities, and who have refused to accept offers from other colleges vri th increases in salaries because of their loyalty to Palomar, he said. The financial foundation of the school is strong, he said, because at present w·e have $165',000.00 assessed valuation for each student enrolled. Their are only two junior colleges in the state that are stronger financially. Because Palomar is sit uated in one of the most rapidly grovling areas, witha population increase of about 10 per cent in the nast four yearst its prospects are good ror a great future. Dr. Putnam listed as the greatest need for the campus, nevr buildings, especially a gym, some shops 7 a home economic build2~g, and some laboratories. He also pointed out that there is a need for more students. Dr. Putnam feels that if the needed builc'.ings ;.;ere obtained. the increase in students 1vould be very great.

Kay, professor of music. Saturday the combined choirs of fffteen schools practiced a total of six hours before giving a concert which, in the words of 'Mr. Kay. 11 gave me a great thrill." With eight hundred voices rising in near-perfect harmony, and an orchestra of 75 pieces (eight of which were representative or Palomar College) the foundations of the auditorium could not help but have been loosened.
