Mardi Gras Ball Old New Orleans will be transplanted to the Women's Clubhouse in Escondido on t!arch 7 for the AWS !1!ardi Gras Ball. Featuring masks and costu:nes, the affair will be tailored after the gala masquerade parties of the old South. students on campus will choose a king and queen to reign over the d!ll ce. The Circle K has chosen Judy Fleming as their candidate for queen. The A'NS a:re betting their pennies on Ed Schaffroth and Jim Fortenberry. The Knights have not chosen their candida t;es as yet. Sids have been on sale all week at $1.25 per--stag or drag. (Stags are wholeheartedly welcome1)
will be used by the Comet baseball squad for both practice and league games. The new field will be located directly beyond the football field toward San Marcos. Home plate is expected to lie about 80 feet from Highway 78, and the depth of the field will be a minimum of 400 feet. Another added feature of the field is to be a turf infield which should give Palomar one of the best in the South Central Conference. It will be completed within two weeks and should give the team 9.1!1-
deep satisfaction in the new field and feels it will be a definite aid to the Comets' pro~ress durihg the season. Palomar will also be wearing new uniforms that were purchased for last year but went unused when the te9J!l folded. In past years, Palomar has been forced to use Escondido's Finney Field and the Vista Community Center. Finney Field proved inadequate because Escondido High School also uses it and the Vista field is being torn up by a new highway.

The students arrived by car at 12 noon--of course some didn't makeit until 1:30--and were ushered through the performers• entrance, over the stage, and to theirchotce seats. By watching the rehearsal, the students were acquainted with many of the technical steps of preparing for such a production. Mr. Howard Brubeck made all necessary arrangements andaccompanied the group. Following the show, they toured Knott 1 s Berry Farm and dined at one of the Farm's fine dining rooms.

Editorial .... Did you go to the Oceanside-PJC game? If you did, you were as proud as I was to be from Palomar! Not just because we won (although that made things even happier) but because of how we won. Quite often during the game there wereboos, hisses, and profanity at a referee 1 sdecision-but they didn't come from our side. Quite often one of the players on the floor laughed contemptuously at the ruling of a play--but it wasn't one of the Comets. Sometimes from the spectators came angry and unnecessarily crude remarks--but they didn 1 t come from the 150 people, including members of the faculty and Board of Governors supporting PJC. Now maybe some professional hecklers just happened to wander into that game. Or perhaps sportsmanship has gotten a 11 ttle "foggy" on the coast. But whatever the reason, it's a pleasure to report that the guilt did not lie with us. VIe can be doubly proud of that victory!
The Student Council has several importantprojects underway at the present time. Jim Fortenberry was selected to head a committee to investigate the possibility of a Student Workday to beheld soon. Also, members of the Council journeyed to Pasadena this week to attend a PlanningConference relative to the Student Government Convention to be held the first part of April in Coronado.

The AWS Masquerade Ball coming up March 6 will afford an excellent opportunity to improve one • s usual appe!l' ance with mas·ks and costumes. It might be well to remember that the affair is primarily a dance--same costumes don't exactly facilitate the light fantas tics. (We understand that yummies will be served to anyone who cares to come as Jo-Jo, the dog-faced boy.) *'>'l-::-~-*
Phil Pepper might pick up some pocket money by chareing bus fare for the books that hitch-hike their way al] over the campus on his lap. {:~~
Interesting how facu1ty members disagree on same things but always agree on exams. They don•t particularly care which day exams are givenso long as they are all given on the ~ day.
***** First we had little che~s boards, then medium-oize chess boards and then giant chess boards. Wonit some member of the faculty take note, loudly and verbally, of the high intellectual calibre of some students so we can go back to small chess boards!

College Course _Important To Modern Nursing "I consider a college education almost imperative for a modern professional nurse,"' said Mrs. Goldie Povenmire, school nurse and vocational nursing instructor, when asked the value of a . college education. She went on to say that a general education is very important in contacts with both patients and colleagues. . Mrs. Povenmire continues her viewpoint stating that the physical sciences help the prospective nurse to understand the a!. ms and observations as well as the means of treatment; which have become increasingly complex with modern research and improved methods of diagnosis. "A marked trend in modern nursing is toward improved care of the patient with appreciation of his total personality and related to his total
environment." The social sciences help in this and allow the nurse to evalu-ate the patients• varied reactions to personalities and events concerned with recovery and rehabilitation. "Social sciences also aid the nurse in appraisal end constructive effort in behair of her own rapidly maturing profession, as well as the community and world in which she lives, concluded Mrs. Povenmire. Before startlng her positlon at Palomar last fall, Mrs. Povenmire had worked for the Red Cross as an instructor, for children 1 s conva.l escent hospitals. and had been a staff nurse and instructor at Edgemoor Farm in San Diego Countv. Her BS degree in Home Economics was received from Ohio State Unive~ slty, and she undertook her nurse training at White Cross Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. Mrs. Povenmire resides near El Cajon, and makes the 100-mile round trip to and from Palomar dail •

SPQRTSCQPE By Cordry It seems that in the past a great deal of attention has been directed towards major sports such as foot- · ball, 9asketball, and baseball, while track, golf, and tennis have been shuffled into the background. This year, however, Palomar hopes to remedy the situation with a broad minor sports program, Track is not to be considered a minor sport but it still has not achieved the distinction of the Coach Bob Bowman, head aforementioned major track coach at Palomar sports.
