Workday Event Plans Changedi Set For Dec. 2 Contrary to previous years, Workday at Palomar will be held this year in the fall. First scheduled for October 26, Workday has now been set for December 2. The ann ual affair has been held in the latter part of the second semester. But due to a request from the Knights and the A.W.S. to have it earlier in the year, it has been scheduled for this semester. The request was based on the fact that the condition of the "P" is bad and it was hoped that it could have been limed before Homecoming. Plans were underway to unite freshman initiation with Workday. However, initiation has been canceled this year. The method for CO'nditioning the "P" is still tentative. "Moving 'Workday' up is a good move anyway,'' stated Rich Miller, Palomar student body president; "it is an inactivity designed to increase school spirit, and it should, therefore, be held , during the first part of the year."
