BOND ELECTION ISSUE Vol. I X, No. 1

Student Help Asked In Bond Election Drive Letter from nr. Phil Putnam: October 9 is a crucial date in the future of Palomar College. On this date an election will be held to authorize the sale of bonds 1n the amount of $700,000 for the construction of permanent buildings for Palomar College. There is no point in my explaining to you, the students, how inadequate the present facilities are. You are aware of our limitations through personal experience. Since a two-thirds majority is required to authorize school building bonds, a successful election on this issue is impossible W1thout the active assistance of friends of Palomar College. There are several ways in which each student can be of assistance. First, you should become familiar with the building program. Second, you should tell your parents, friends and neighbors about it and urge them to vote. You will find a
THE BEGINNINGS
Many Campus Changes Seen Looking around the campus we see a lot of improvements this year. Although the freshmen, who weren't here last yearl probably can't apprec ate them as well as the sophmores and instructors. The patio is a new addition this year. It was financed by the Palomar Patrons and constructed by Hr. Crafts and his crew. It not only provides a good meeting place but also relieves the noon-time confusion in the cafeteria. A new black-top combination basketball and tennis court has been completed. Although not much in appearance, this project is a tremendous help in basketball seaso~ The team can now practice at home. A drying room for athletic equipment has also been constructe~ The football field has been equipped with goal posts in preparation for the Comets first home game in November. Of interest to the women students is the new womens lounge. Although it isn't ready yet, it 'will soon be in use. The new tile floors are another important addition. The floors that are done make a noticeable change in the appearance of those rooms

Speakers Bureau Supports Bond Issue An active agency in the current bond election drive is the Palomar Speakers Bureau. To date, speakers have been sent to over ten meetings of clubs and church groups in Vista, Escondido, and Fallbrook. Over two hun( Con 1 t. on Page 3 1 which have them.

Everyone who had a part in it deserves a big hand.
supply of fact sheets which contain all pertinent data at the registration desk. The buildings will be constructed about the present campus. We will continue to use our present buildings. The increase in tax rate will be less than 10-cents per $100 assessed valuation. Palomar has proved itself to be a cultural and economic asset. It is deserving of the support of every citizen of this community.

Attends Palomar Noel Roselles left his home in Penang, Malaya on August 2 to come all the way to Palomar. He is at this school on a Vista Rotary Club scholarship \vhich was, incidentally 1 one of only three offered in Malaya for transfer to the United States. Noel has chosen Economics as his major but as yet he is undecided as to his future plans. He thinks, however 1 that after a year at Palomar he would like to transfer somewhere on the east coast. Vista is the town honored by Noel's residence, anci since there he has been formally introduced to many important people in the community. Everything seems so different to Noel that it is hard for him to decide what impresses him most about our country. However, he is very enthused over the friendliness of the people.

and the surrounding communities if the vote is favorable. Here are two of these important advantages: Additional facilities will attract more students. Approximately t'lro hundred students from this area annually attend colleges elsewhere. In many cases Palomar's lack of facilities is resnonsible for this. These proposed additions would also attract more out-ofdistrict students. This additional enrollment would mean more state funds and more out-ofdistrict tuition. A much-needed vocational training program can be established. This will enable many young people to learn a trade which will make them more productive citizens. If these permanent buildings are erected, Palomar will have a campus of which the district and the students can be duly proud.

AG MEN WORK ON GREEN PASTURE A very green pasture will be the result of the hard work now underway on the area just east of the gym. The land was leveled last semester by Mr. Porter and the Agriculture boys. Last week pipe lines were being laid and definite plans made. The pasture will be under a
complete sprinkle system and fenced on all sides. Soon you will see a large patch of refreshing green as the paRture begins to take shape. This project is a substantial step for1·-• ard in the direction of Palomar's future expanded agriculture department, where it will serve as the home of many contented animals.

Eight students of Palomar College are vitally interested in the above statement and have been Harrying Mri. Nesbin nearly to death ir.. their search for research material on the subject of free trade. These students are, of course, the members of this semester's debate sauad. Ever since the national debate question vras made known to then at the beginning of the semester they have been industriously building their debate cases in preparation for the competition they vTill meet at the t.To speech tournaments slated for this semester. In addition to these scheduled tot~na ments, tentative plans have been made for practice debate sessions with the lovrer division squads from San Diego State. • Debate is by no means the only form of forensics offered at the speech tournaments. Interpretive reading, i~ promptu and extemperaneous speaking, panel discussion, and oratory are the other divisions usually included. l.fr.

As the Palomar s chool Bond Issue approaches, the needfor e. new gym b e c om~ s more and more apparent. We may not ~ be fortunate enough to be endowed with e. new gym but at least some major improvements which are so drastically nee ded, could be made. Not that our gym isn•t adequate. Most first grade classes in grammar school would be glad to have it, but for e. J unior College it hardly provided the needed requirements. This finally looks like e. big year in sports for Palome.r College but even with the fine material we poesesa we are handicapped by our gym whose brightest feature is it s large shower room. This cracker-box room contains four showers to be shared by thirty football players. This gym problem is just one of many reasons why we must have our bond issue pass • With the support of our entire student body, their parents and friends, perhaps passage of our bond issue will be made possible. Let us hope so.

Santa Ana Defeats Palomar 7-0 The heavily favored Santa Ana J. c. foot ball teem managed to squeeze by a fi ght i ng Comet team Friday night on l ast their field. For t he f irst time in many years it looks as thoug h Palomar \vill field a team c ~pa ble of holding t heir own ;ri t h anybody. It ,., as a ni p and tuck ba ttle all of-the way and but f or six cos t l y fumble s t he te nm vlould have come hol!le '"i th a ,.,in. Santa Ana dre;r the first and only blood in t he fir st auarter when Big John Troutman, Comet full back was hit very hard and forc ed to fumble on t he Comet 20 yard line. Santa Ana quickly pushed the ball over and converted ,.,i th onl" four minutes of playing. time gone in the first quarter.
After that score the Palomar team was invincible on defense. The Comets offense how ever, was a little spotty They were never able to get a sustained drive going. Nevertheless swivel hipped tailback Frankie Rivas gave Santa Ana a great deal of trouble with his end runs and his passing.Troutman and Birdsell smashed through the middle for gains. Geise brought Comet rooters to their feet by 1 returning Santa Ana s 3rd period kick-off 57 yards to their 7 yard line. A Comet fumble recovered by Santa Ana on the next play killed all hopes of scoring. Palomar's only casuality was center Don Norris who suffered a broken rib. Santa Ana carried 6 men from the field.

The first sports column will be dedicated to the boys lllho will see action in the Palomar backfield this year. Starting with the blocking back we have three candidates. Bill Bucher from Escondido seems to have nailed down the starting berth. Bill is an excellent blocker, signal caller and a stand out on defense. Jim Estep of Escondido and M. D. Green of Vista are the other two quarter backs. Don Portis of E.U.H.s. who has been plagued by injuries, will get the starting nod at the important tailback position He is being hard pressed by Ed. Majado of Fallbrook and La Jolla ace Frankie Rivas. Rudy Akin, Escondido nash, will open at wingback. The other two wingbacks are Karl Geise from E.U.H.s. and Bob Rivas of La Jolla.
