PALOMAR BONDS WIN

DR. PUTNAM'S STATEMENT "The recent passing of the Palomar College bond ¡issue by the surprising 73 per cent majority represents the fulfillment of the dream which has long been shared by a great many public-spirited citizens in Northern San Diego County. Some of the early pioneers who had the vision to plan a Junior College in this county are: Albert Chamness, William Perry former Superintendent of schools in Escondido, Dan McNaughton the first president of Palomar College, Eldon Hildreth the second P.J.C. president, and a host of others.

"The success of our election can not be attributed to one person, but united effort. Our board of Nov. 12 - Deadline for withdrawal Governors has worked night and from classes day for the past two months to help Sadie Hawkin's DANCE tell 'The Palomar Story' to the at Williams Barn, San 50,000 residents of our district, Marcos Nov. 13- Football game -Palomarvs. Citrus at Azusa Parent -Teacher Associations, Nov. 19 - 24 - Palomar Player's Service Clubs, Palomar Patrons, p r o d u c t i on of "Two Churches and hundreds of volunBlind Mice" at Paloteer workers also got behind the mar's campus in the cause and worked diligently for a student lounge favorable vote, Nov. 25- 26 -ThanksgivingHoliday' "I am sure that I express the feelPalomar Player's proings of every faculty member, and duction of "Two Blind Mice" at Palomar's student when I say that we are campus in the student deeply grateful for the confidence which has been placed in Palomar." lounge.

Coming Events

The Northern County voters approved the passage of the $470,000 bond issue for Palomar College by a 73 per cent majority Tuesday, Oct. 19.

Once the results were tabulated at 9 P.M. Tuesday here on the campus, an impromtu celebration was staged by the students, faculty, and school supporters. The cafeteria and lounge were jammed with excited and happy people.

The Telescope staff stayed on campus until 1:30 A.M. in order to have a special Bond Issue paper out on time for the morning classes.

San Marcos lead in the majority vote with 83 per cent yes votes, Vista was second with 78 per cent favorable votes. Fallbrook came in third with 73 per cent of votes favoring the bond issue. Escondido which in the past has not favored the issue, passed this issue with a 70 per cent yes vote.

THREE NEGATIVE PRECINCTS Three small precincts within the same general area, Pauma, Valley Center, and .Palomar Mountain, had less than the two third majority.

Palomar Mountain was the only precinct with a negative vote, 10 "yes" and 15 "no".

The number of ballots cast was boosted by 305 voters more than last May 12 when the "yes" vote failed by two per cent.

Architects for the proposed permanent buildings will be interviewed in November. The selection of an architect will be the first step in the contruct.ion of the new buildings.

It is expected that the bids for the job might be opened by next June. If everything goes according to schedule, work might get underway by next summer.

The science lab, library, technical shops, shower and dressing rooms, and sewage disposal plant will be completed sometime in 1956. The cost to the taxpayers will be about . 05¢ per $100 assesed valuation.

The college administration and board of governors issued this statement to the papers: "The board of governors, administration, faculty and students of Palomar College take this opportunity to thank the voters of our district for approvil'lg the bond issue and thereby expressing their confidence in the future of the college.

"To the hundreds of individual workers, the P - TA's, the service -clubs and,_ all other organizations which im:lo"t'se.q and actively supported the bond issue, we express our gratitude, "Conservative, economical plans for the construction of a science lab, shop building and library will go forward rapidly. By careful planning and rigid economy we feel certain that we should be able to get the job done. We invite the constructive suggestions of our constituents. Our sincere hope is that we will merit the confidence you have shown in us."

-.---EDITORIAL We're sure you can recall the significances of force in history. Looking back to Theodocius you'll remember the Theodocian Code which allowed Christian slave 'masters to beat their slaves into the accepted faith. This code also removed the pagan's right to will his p:reperty to his family; it threatened his citizenship, and generally forced him into at least playing the role of a _believer. Duri.ng the passage of time this pattern of force through deprivation became common until today modern, Freudian-minded mothers steal their children's dessert until "every last carrot is gone".

It's interesting to us that even though some "heavy Roman hand" at Palomar uses this style of force, he (or she) utili zes it with a more subtle twist. He believes that, by removing all possible forms of activity but one, everyone must then take active, eager part in the remaining one.

If you don't follow this, we suggest you try buying a cup of that life-giving coffee or even a pack of cigarettes during the third period on Friday, the only period some of us have free in the morning.

Many students have asked us who gives the order to close the cafeteria during the rallies, and all we can say is we don't know. But whoever you are we'd like to make a suggestion: LET PAGANS BE PAGANS; if your ideas were so good you wouldn't need to force people into taking interest.

Let's all go have a cup of coffee third period Friday,

HOME COMING QUEEN After the first exciting half of the Homecoming Game Saturday, October 30, Lois Foster, who was elected Queen from a group of girls chosen by the football squad, was crowned by Al Polhamus as Homecoming Queen. Lois, in her alluring white gown, with the silver crown on her shining hair, looked every inch a queen as the excited crowd gave her a standing ovation. Her attendants, Rosemary Cole, Kaylene Hicks, Carmen Romero and Marsha Smith provided added glamour as they stood around the silver throne which was decorated with Gladiolas. After Al delivered the congratulatory ldss, the Queen and her attendants reigned over the rest of the thrilling Palomar - Imperial Valley contest and the Homecoming Dance which followed an exciting 20 - 24 win by the Comets.

The gay crowd followed the royal procession to the American Legion Hall in Vista where they ended the Homecoming festivities.

STRAW-VOTE

ON

CAMPUS

Under the direction of Dr. Dodd's American I & H class, the students of Palomar Jr. College trooped to the polls in the Patron's patio on Monday, November 1st. , to vote on the same issues which were to confront voters throughout the state the following day.

At the time of this writing, complete returns for the state and county were not available. However, it is interesting to note how the student's votes on several key issues compare with the votes of Escondido and Vista on the same propositions. The results were as follows: Vista Palomar College Escondido Governor-Knight 74% 79% 67% Lt. Governor-Powers 71% 67% 65% u.S, Senator -Kuchel 69% 71% 63% Congress-Utt 69% 76% 63% 68% State Senate-Kraft 74% 62% Assembly-Bulen 60% 58% 52% Sheriff-Strand 63% 72% 71%

MUSIC DEPARTMENT One of the largest groups on campus, the Acappella choir, went to Escondido where they sang in the finale of the Kiwanis Club Variety Show Oct. 27 and 28. The purpose of the show was to raise money for the youth work in this area. Those who sang with the choir are: Yvonne Allenbacli, Paul Bernhardt, Carol Bourne, Pat Breed, Rosemary Cole, Frank Fately, Lois Foster, Carol Hanson, Bobbi Hatheway, Barbra Kinley, David Knight, Lois Lansing, John Marron, Bob Mitchell, Lionel Morre, Peggy Peterson, Shirley Schrader, Doug Scott , Carolyn Seebold, Geraldine Smith, Georgia Sutton, Valerie Sabin, Joe Wolowsky, Kaylene Hicks, Charlene Long, Lois Schneider, George Newman.

The Acapp Choir also sang at the American Legion Veteran's Day Memorial in Escondido on Nov. 11.

Mr. Brubeck, the director of music at Palomar, is choosing the music for the Christmas show, which will be sponsored by the Musi-c Department sometime in December.

Al Polhamus is the leader of the band. Right in tune with him are Frank Fately, Paul Bernhardt, Louis Schnider, Doug Scott, and Petty Jo Huggans. Not a very large group is it? But D~l John and his brother Don John and Wayne Grunwald, who are now with the U. s. Marine Band, add their music and rythm to the group. We owe thanks to them, as well as to Jerry Sorge and Dave Sutton, who also pep up our games.

* * * Malaya is a strip of land stretching from Siam to Singapore, near the equator. I live at the southern tip of the peninsula not far from Singapore. The size of my country is one-third that of California, and we have a population of over six millions. The three main races are the Ma layas, the Chinese and the Indians. Each race has its own language, customs and religions. Because of the ir vastly different culture and language, theydonotmix together much, although they usually live side by side in the same area.

Malaya may be described as one largely mountainous and hilly region covered with dense tropical forest and intersected by countless streams and rivers. Our mountains, I must say, are not really mountains to you, for the highest peak is merely 7, 000 feet high.

Unlike California we have no definite seasons, and we have plenty of rain. It falls frequently throughout the year with a rainfall varying from 70 to 120 inches in different parts ofthe country. The ternperature is high, averaging about 80 degrees throughout the year and seldom rising very much above 90 degrees or falling below 70 degrees. The humidity is extremely high (over 90), which makes the heat oppressive and the life uncomfortable.

Our economy is built on two basic products, rubber and tin. Our economy is unsound because when the prices of rubber and tin are low, as they are now, the whole country is plunged into economic hardship. Though a great variety of agricultural crops can be grown in our country, only two products, copra and pineapple, are developed for export. Our living standard is low, and we are trying to raise it .by promoting the growth of industries. But so far we have not met with much success, for we lack the capital and know-how to develop our country. Here I believe is where American Businessmen can he lp us very much, but they are not helping now. It is needless for me to e mphasize that a reasonable living standard is the best defense against communism. Low living standards breed discontent, which is the fertile soil for seeds of communism to germinate.

* * * As the crimson of the evening sunset faded away into darkness, the streaks of the golden moonlight gradually illuminated the eastern sky. Slowly, stealthily, stillness creptinto the night. Then sudden~ ly the drums beat, the flutes blew, the symbols tinkled, the horns called out and the stillness of the evening became disrupted with a crescendo of boistrous emotions.

There was a melody in the native's songs; there was grace mingled with rythm in their dances, and everything together in one picture, presented a wonderful spectacle.

Even though the eminent native women strove to make themselves most gorgeous by their golden bangles, necklaces, earrings and multi - colored embroidered silk attires, they attracted less attention than the white-capped cheifs, who by combining modesty with simplicity, won the admiration and honor of the enthused crowd. It was all to honor a royal invitation!

The wind was fresh and the air was free. The flickering of native lamps at the e n t r a n c e o f the palace brought grandeur to the home of the paramount chief. The time piece registered eight, and as the chief opened the occasion by a raise of the hand, the boisterous gatheringwas suddenly hushed into silence. With his stern voice echoing through the still evening he declared, "Mo token dupe, ke pe ke to, ke mase dagaba osi." Which literally means, "I extend to you my cordial congratulations; may you live long; may there be no adversity in your lives."

Although the dishes served were not so rich in vitamins, the gathering derived much pleasure by toasting with African wines.

Drunkeness led into a frenzy of passion, as wealth would lead into an intoxication of power. Their eyes glowed like embers and their eye-lids became over-laden with sleep. The head of the cheif's wives, having noticed all these. things, wisely came forward and brought the occasion to a close by e x p r e s s in g appreciation and thanks.

This was how the second anniversary ofthe ascendancy of the paramount chiefs of Illa was celebrated in the year of our lord, nineteen hundred and fifty one.

KENT LANSING AND MARCIA SMITH IN A SCENE FROM "THREE BLIND MICE"

SMOKING? "SHHH! !", "No Smoking", "Have a cup", "Hey did you see the game?" These are a few of the phrases heard in the two most popular study haunts, the library and the cafeteria. There are a few of us who like to study together or who have projects that take the discussion of two or more, so the lib is out ••. "Shh, no smoking".

In the caf. you are constantly interrupted by passers-by. Very bad for studying. Now here's the proposition. Why can't we have a room dedicated to groups who wish to "discuss" things such as the paper or debate? A room where we could smoke, type, and talk yet not be bothered by individuals who aren't studying or working on some project. Nor bother them.

The lounge would be fine, except for the danger of being hit by a ping pong ball, the Be Bop handicap might influence the workers, to "shake rattle and roll" out their debate case or project. And of course there are those who aren't working, who hang out there.

Now don't get the idea that we are trying to take your lounge away, we want a new room just for the "drones" who work together and loudly on typewriters.

ORAfnA nEWS As the date of the opening of the Palomar Players approaches, the rehearsals, held every night (except weekends) in the lounge, become more and more confusing as well as rushed. The deadline for the memorization of lines was Friday, Oct. 29, and at that time all books had to be in.

The Drama class also is preparing several one-act plays to be presented around the community at later dates. One of these plays, "The Happy Journey" appeared on television with Helen Hayes playing the part of Ma Kirby. The tentative cast of the play includes Irma Jones as Ma Kirby, John Marroni as Pa Kirby, Lois Foster as Caroline, Joe Buck as Author, Annet Quigg as Beulah, the stage manager is played by Hal Helsley.

GAME

BY ED REDMOND The Palomar Comets swept to their fifth victory of the season, establishing a new record for our young college. If the Comets defeat Citrus Saturday night, Palomar will end the season with a 6-3 record and will gain at least a tie for second place in the South Central Conference.

In Palomar's last game, the Comets defeated Cal. Poly 7-6. Played on the

Bonita High School field, the victory was made possible by a 6 yard pass from Billy Leith to Steve Kazarion and the all important extra point by Larry Tessary.

PALOMAR WINS HOMECOMING GAME In a hard-fought game featuring numerous jumbles and penalties, the Comets made their homecoming su~')essful by downing Imperial Valley 20-12 Saturday, Oct. 30 at the Vista gridiron. In spite of homecoming, a disappointing crowd of 300 watched the game.

The visiting "Arabs" jumped into a six point lead but the Comets came back to score three touchdowns before permitting another score against them. Palomar was penalized 125 yards to 70 against Imperial Valley. The Comets recovered 5 Imperial fumbles while losing the ball twice themselves on bobbles.

The Comets scored first in the second quarter when Jim Tarling recovered a fumble on the Imperial 19. Nine plays later (including 4 penalties) Wally Rodgers hulled over from the one. Larry Tessary kicked the extra point. In the third quarter John Viera recovered a fumble on the "Arabs" 17. On the first paly Bobby Rivas went all the way. Tes sary again converted.

In the final quarter the Comets climaxed a 72 yard drive as Claude Dubewentoverfrom the one. The conversion was wide.

DR. PUTNAM TO YOSEMITE Dr. Putnam went to Yosemite where he attended a California Junior College Presidents conference. From there he flew to Portland where he spoke to the Portland State College Alumni on Saturday Oct. 30. Dr. Putnam was Vice-President of Portland State for six years.

COMET OF THE WEEK Comet of the week this week is football co-captain and blocking back Bill Bucher. He played blocking back last year and had more playing time than anyone on the squad.

Bill graduated from Escondido High in 1953 where he won 3 varsity letters and showed great versatility by switching from guard to quarterback in his senior year.

Not only does Bill play football, but he is also an outfielder on the baseball team and shows promise in track. He never ran track before coming to Palomar, b11t in our first meet against o,cc and Palo Verde last year Bill took second place in the 440.

Bill's biggest sports thrill came in a baseball game last year against Citrus when he scored the run that tied the game giving Palomar the chance they needed to finally win the game and sweep a double header.

THANKS! We have been informed that the Vista Community Association returned our check covering the usual expenses for the use of the Recreation Center in Vista. We, along with the other members of the student body of Palomar College, wish to express our thanks ofr this generous gesture from the Vista Community Association.

Palomar will drive for second place Saturday night Nov. 13 when they play Citrus. At present there are three teams aiming at this same goal. Palomar lost to Antelope Valley 14-12 when the highly rated Maurader's speedy backs broke through Palomar's tight line.

Don Portis tossed to Karl Geise, wing back, in Palomar's favorite play, the optional pass-run, to gain 68 yards and the score. The conversion was missed with the Comets leading 6-0.

Vern Valdez, all-league quarterback, setup his teams first score by running back the second half kickoff to the Palomar 30. Jim Mattorocci carried over the Maurader's first touchdown.

A 15 yard penalty against the Comets put the Mauraders on the 10 yard line and in position for their second score. The kick was good and Antelope Valley led 14-6.

Palomar came right back on the next kickoff with a speedy run by Karl Geise. Billy Leith then passed to Geise to put the ball on the Marauders 15. "Duck and Dive" Leith raced 26 long, beautiful yards around right end for the score.

Picks for the stars of the game; Billy Leith that man on the spot who sparks many of Palomar's games, and the seldom-heard-of linemen.

The following week Palomar lost to Palo Verde on the score board only. The books showed that the Comets outplayed the Pirates in every second of the game. The partisan crowd of 2, 000 fans watched the Comets in a "Tough luck" game in which they could score only once, while gaining five first downs inside the Pirates 10 yard line.

The pirates swooped toward their victory from the opening kickoff when Frank Fradillias took in the kick on his 8 and ran 92 yards to score. The Comets blocked the forceful kick and the score stood at 6-0. After an exchange of punts following the kickoff, "Old faithful" Leith sparked the Comets only scoring drive, behind splen-

The Broncos scored first on a 20 yard pass from tailback Art Leaderman to halfback Bob Perguson.

The try for the extra point was missed, but the 6 points looked big going into the last quarter.

Palomar marched from its own 48 to the Bronco 7 at the start of the second half on fine runs by Don Portis and Bob Rivas but Karl Geise was hit hard and fumbled on the seven. Geise, who became a father the morning of the game was injured on this play and left the game. The injury may keep him out of the Citrus game.

Palomar started into winning drive early in the fourth period. Leith raced 15 yards to the Cal. Poly 42, then 12 yards to the 3o. Leith came thru again as he raced around end to the 15. Portis raced thru the middle of the line to the 6 yard line.

The Bronco line stiffened and on fourth down Leith hit Kazarion in the end zone for the touchdown.

Tessary, the Comets new found kicking specialist, placed the ball between the upright and the Comets had a victory.

Altho the Comet offense did sputter at times, Leith, Portis and Rivas looked good running the ball.

On defense Palomar's great line held the Bronco's to a mere 52 yards. It is just too hard to pick an individual star out of that great line.

did blocking, running 20 yards to the Pirate 20, then passing 16 yards to Duane Beebe putting the ball on Palo Verde's 4. It took two plays until Karl Geise, finding an opening went over from the 2. The Commet's kick hit the cross bar, and the score stood 6-6.

The winning drive for Palo Verde came when a Portis pass was intercepted. Dan Vargas faded back from the 48 and threw a strike to end Al Canyoles for the touchdown.

"Fleetfooted Papa" Geise and "Sparkie Duck and Dive" Leith were the outstanding men in this

game.
