Constitution Exhumed Council Asks Autopsy Palomar's Student Council is planning to review the Associated Student Body Constitution. ASB President John Diepersloot has appointed members to a review committee. the subject of review has been on the ASB council agenda the last two meetings but no report has been made as yet. The new interest in the Constitution has resulted from some questions raised by Student Council members concerning several sections of the document. Editorial comment in the last issue of the Telescope suggested possible discrepancies in the legislative and judicial provisions of the Constitution. According to a Student Council report, the section of the constitution concerned with ASB identification card privileges and a clause requiring student candidates to complete a leadership class before running for office will be reviewed. "The greatest problem with the Constitution is its inadaquacy to supply a foundation for legislative action by the Student Council," said Bob Newman, council member and editor of the Telescope. "The council is actually a legislative rather than an executive body and should be able to act positively when certain laws are necessary for the effective function of the government."

A publicity committee, headed by Publicity Director Michele Church, is drawing up a publicity code that may, if the Constitution is revised, be accepted into the By Laws. If a revision is deemed necessary, the Student Council will reinact procedure followed by last semester's council which revised the constitution to its present form.

Dedicated Personnel "You don't have to be a Ph.D. to join the Peace Corps but we certainly can't use any nitwits either," Peace Corps representative Miss Annie Gutierrez told political science classes here last Friday. Miss gutierrez, who has built latrines in Mexico and mud stoves in El Salvador, while working on American Friends Service and State Department projects, is touring Southern
California trying to clarify the purpose of the Corps. "The Corps does not offer an opportunity to see Africa, record folk songs, or write a book, " she said. "I am not recruiting Peace Corps trainees," she emphasized. " I encourage students to finish their college education before thinking of joining the Corps."

Communism Courses Courses in communism will be taught in California public schools starting in the Fall of 1962, Dr. Richard M. Clows, chief of the Division of instruction of the Department of Education said recently. Two committees will be formed for the purpose of formulating texts for the courses.
Training for the Corps includes a 6-hour test to determine if the applicant is intellectually and psychologically prepared for the program, Miss Gutierrez said. Foreign languages, a well developed skill, and dedication are prime requirements. Three-phase training includes intensive programs in the U. S., Puerto Rico and the country assigned. "The applicant may have to learn Swahili or Hindu in short order," she said. Once assigned, the Peace Corps representative recei ves a $75 a month allowance and after completion of service receives $1800. "We don't want you to take your own money. We want you to live like the natives, at their level and standard," Miss Gutierrez said. "It might get a little rough; you may have to sleep on a dirt floor in a sleeping bag, but people that will are the ones we want."
Palomar sophomore Dale Denton was the recipient last week of a $400 loan from the school's National Defense Education fund. The $400 is the maximum given from a fund of $3,600 supplied yearly, one ninth of which is given by the ASB. Last year there were 12 applicants for NDEA loans and nine were granted the maximum amount. Deanne Durling, also a sophomore, will study agriculture next fall at the University of California at Davis on a $1,000 scholarship. The money will come from the Andrew Schmitt Scholarship Foundation of the Vista Rotary Club. Members of the foundation board unanimously agreed with Dr. John W. Dunn , when he recommended that Miss Durling's application be accepted.

In 1957 she won the Air Force's National Citation of Honor Award for "Outstanding Contribution to World Peace and National Security through Air Age Education." Supreme Court Judge Robert Gardner opened the lecture series October 18 with an address concerned with politi· cal extremism. The judge, from Orange County, criticized minority groups which believe their concepts and doctrines are the only possible Democratic ones. These groups, said judge Gardner, are inclined to label as •·communistic" or "fascistic" any ideas not agreeing with their own. "Such extremism plays into the hand s of the enemy and is inexcusable from that standpoint," he said. Communist tactic, as the judge paraphrased J. Edgar Hoover, is to divide Americans by creating fear and suspic ion. Judge Gardner said that the confusion and fear resulting (Continued on pa e 4)

Students Queried On Apartment Housing A poll to determine interest in low-cost housing adjacent to the campus is being conducted by the Telescope. A group of outside investors are considering building furnished apartments and rooming houses for college students. The project is a private venture and would not be under the jurisdiction or supervision of the college. Current plans call for apartments which will accommodate two people having all housekeeping facilities at a cost of $25 per month. Rooming house fees would be $20 per month. Results of the poll will be made known to the investment group which has indicated its interest in the students' opinion of the project.
