Mosk Criticizes Students
Editor's note: Starting with this issue. the Telescope will publish a series of articles which we feel are of importance to the student body. Our first article concerns remarks of two state officials, Attorney General Stanley Mosk and State College Chancellor Dr. Buell G. Gallagher.
At a recent speech in San Jose, Attorney General Stanley Mosk criticized college students as not being politically active. " It's a shame that more new ideas and actions don 't come from our colleges ," Mosk said. Un iversities are closed in Latin America when there is political unrest, he said, because the government knows that new ideas and sometimes disturbances begin there.
"There may be too much protection of college students and too many limitations of freedom in the United States," Mosk said. He called this a " minu s point" for the U.S. GALLAGHER COMMENTS ON PRESS
The new State College Chancellor has issued a statement su mmarizing his views of the role of the college newspaper. "A respons ible undergraduate press can be the conscience of the college community, but moral responsibility must rest in freedom . Censorship of news policy or editoria l opinion is inadm issable because it destroys a fundamental tool of the democratic ed ucation process; freed om of discussion and debate. " D1. Gallagher said that during hi s tenure as president of City College of New York he "safe-
guard ed t he he ritage of press freed om . . . " He added : I shall continue to fight for the right of our undergradu a te journalists to say what they think and feel , especially when I di sagree with what they have to say. "College newspaper editors should have the privilege of deciding what will and what will not be published. I, for one, would not ha ve it any other way. "However, the privilege carries with it the obligation on the part of stud ent editors to subj ect themselves and their publi cations to the critical scrutiny of the college community. They mu st recognize the rights of others to criticize the undergraduate press. Freedom of the press and freedom to criticize are symbiotic.

Palomar Girl Leaves For Las Vegas Engagement Stunning brunette April Tatro has signed a contract to tour U. S. night spots for one year with the Mazon & Abbot musical show group. Engagements include an appearance at the Riviera in La Vegas and one at the Ri verside in Reno, Nevada.
Tatro modeled for picture that won first place in Climax Magazine's, My Favorite Girl Contest. Miss Tatro has launched a professional career and will soon appear as a dancer in La s Vegas.
APRIL
ELECTION Clayton Sketoe, new pub· licity director at Palomar has announced that an election will be held December 2 for the purpose of ratify. ing the revised constitutions for the Freshman and Soph· omore classes.
NEW PUBLICITY Michele Church 's resig· nation from the post of publicity director was announced Monday by ASB President John Diepersloot. The appointment of Clayton Sketoe to the vacant position was unanimously approved by the student council. Diepersloot will not appoint a new representative at large , a position previously held by Sketoe.
A freshman here last year, April visited friends on campus last week after culminating a four-week debut into professional show business. She had photographs to show of herself on the stage of a large Boston night club, Blinsterub's Village, where she had danced a solo twice nightly. She also carried with her a copy of the December issue of Climax magazine (which is on the news stands now) in which a photograph of her (see photo above) is featured . Arpil, whose home-town s incerity has not been altered by her experience, was quite excited abo ut her visit to Boston , and abo ut her plans , when she was interviewed last week. "Last summer I decided I was at the right age to do someling with my dancing," she said. "So I auditioned at severa l places." She was offered a job dancing in the Horse Shoe Inn at Disneyland and another job dancing at Blinsterub's Village for Morro Landis Productions. She said the trip to Boston had been good for her. " I had no one to lean on. I had to depend on myself. " It's really been a college education ," she sai d. "I learned something fro m everyone I met. " April decided not to renew her contract with the Landis productions because she felt she was not accompli"shing anything. " I had no time to learn new tricks," she said. "And the wo rk there was no challenge at all. " April's new contract with Mazon & Abbot includes a strenuous pre-tour rehearsal schedul e in Hollywood . "We wi ll be rehearsing eight hours a day," she said . April said she does not intend to make a career of professiona l dancing. " I'd like to teach handicapped children to dance," she said. "But first I must learn all I can about dancing. I want to find out what other dancers are doing, and the only way to do that is to work professionally."
PC To Host Language Field Day Palomar College will host a fore ign language fie ld day next spring, anno unc e d Dr. Daniel J . Pratola , president of the orthern San Diego Chapter of the American Association of Teachers of Spanjsh and Portuguese. At a meeting of the cha pter la st week, members voted to hold the event here and to sponsor a KOWN radio program starting in J a nuary and featuring language students. "The turnout of representatives indicates the enthusiasm of North County Spanish teache rs to establish the special position of Spanish as a foreign language in this area," said Dr. Pratola. He said that Spanish teachers should take the lead in establishing the language here because the country as a whole is stressing the importance of foreign language as vital to national pre stige and security. Me mbers of the AATSP chapter who attended the meeting last week were: Bernice Brand, Alfred Figueroa , Ann Levsen and John Schmitt of Esco ndido High School; Wil liam Mange r, Poway High School; Evelyn Boyl e, San Marco s High School; Roc h Kelly , Vista High School ; Lloyd Downing, Grant Junior High School in Escondido; Don Medford , La Vergne Sullivan , and Joa n Turnbull from Ocean s ide High Schoo l; Sister Mary Benedict a nd Sister Mary Da vi d .of the Acade my of Little Flowers in San Lui s Rey; and Marilyn Crist, AATSP member who has just returned from Mexico where she was taking an advanced Spanish course.

Prough Visits Gov s Confab 1
How the yo ung person can serve his community was the theme of Governor Edmund G. "Pat" Brown 's conference on education, held in Long Beac h Monday and Tuesday. Don Prough, Palomar student, attended the conference along with 1300 other high sc hool and college stud e nts from t he state. "Our country can never progress unless we tap the resources of our young people," were the governor's words as he spoke to the students. The conference, which lasted two days , was designed primarily to show the students the value of education and the part which proper education can play in the contributions of a young person to his community. Th e co nfe renc e was planned by the stud ents completely without adult hel p.
"Undergraduate editors must learn to draw a distinction between legitimate criticism and efforts to suppress e ditorial freedom through censorship. Achieving this type of perspective is one of the marks of journalistic maturity. "
5 Delegates Attending Conference Five Palomar stud e nts left yesterday for Fresno City College campus where they will attend a student government confe rence. The conference will be divided into five workshops and is designed to offer a n opportunity for student leaders to exchange ideas on the va rious aspects of student government. the five workshops will be student government, campus communications , fin a nce , current problems, and campus organization. Palomar's representatives to these workshops a re John Die persloot, Bob Anthony, June Picchiottino , Jesse Lomeli and J oost Van Reese. The conference will last three days and is to be attended by representatives from every junior college in the state. The program is slated to be much 1ike the Cuyamaca retreat held by Palomar school leaders earlier this year.
Soph Officers Audition Band Buster Carlson's dance band will play at the Christma formal December 18, Sophomore Class Vice-President Mike Mueller announced. The dance will be from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. , and bids may be purcha sed for $1 with an ASB card. Without a card th e cost is $2 , sa id Mueller. The 10-man band and female vocalist were auditioned recently by Mueller and Sophomore Class President J essi Lomeli . " Misty" is the tentative theme for the dance.
Miss Jeanne Alford spoke here in one of the humanity series lectures Wednesday. She emphasized the importance of the woman's role in the future scientific and technical development of the United States. Women should consider entering technical fields, including astronautics, she urged.

Foreign languages Flourish In New Lab From one ta pe recorder in 1953 to one of the most complete foreign language laboratories in California in 1961. That's the story in the language department of Palomar College during the past eight years. Adolph Heyne , chairman of the foreign language department, said present equip ment makes some of the former techniq ues seem a lm ost archa ic. The labo ratory is housed in one of the newly-constructed buildings on the north side of the campus. Sound equipment used in the laboratory was made by RCA and was installed at a cost of about $25,000. Half of the cost was paid by the National Defense Education Act. The main room of the laboratory is the size of an average classroom . Thirty-six stalls are separated by panels, each stall containing a set of earphones , a tape record e r , and a microphone. Adjacent to the main room are nin e booth s wh ich are used for stud e nts' indi vidual stud y fr om maste r ta pes. Th ese booth s may al so be hooked into t he main-room sys te m, gi ving t he laboratory a total capacity of 45 stud e nts. Two sma ll rooms are available for groups of students who wish to listen to tapes on portabl e tape recorders. The department has 11 of these recorders, each adapted to accommodate four sets of earphones. Next to the group study rooms, there are three booths used for listening to phonograph records. In the same building as the laboratory are two classrooms used in the conventional manner to teach foreign languages. These rooms are wired to accommodate , in the future , the same equipment found in the main room of the laboratory. Master tapes in the languages taught at Palomar are often p rovided by the publishers of the textbooks and correspond with the lessons in the books. Instructors suppl ement these tapes with t hose of their own made in the recording room of t he labo ratory. About 250 tapes are now available in German , Spanish, French and Russian.

voices, the instructors have been transferring phonograph records to tape in order to preserve their quality. A shortwave radio in the room is to be used to record foreign programs for later use. Facilities in the laboratory are in use during day classes and evening classes. Instructors in the languages are Adolph Heyne, German; Dr. Daniel Pratola, Spanish; Jay J ohnson, French; William Bedford, Russian; and Peter Chacon , conversatio nal Spanish. The principal purpose of the laboratory is to supplement the regular classroom study of the student. Each student is required to spend four hours in class and one hour in the laboratory each week. Additional time in the laboratory is encouraged by the instructors. "In regular classroom procedure, the student does not re ceive ample chance to recite," said Mr. Heyne, "While he is in the laboratory, however, he is given a chance to recite and also to review his own mistakes."
Tourney Today For H S Orators The annual Palomar College Novice Speec h Tournament will be held today and Saturday with about 300 students from 24 high schools competing in one of the largest contests of its kind in California. Virgil L. Bergman, dean of instruction and instructor in debate at Palomar College, said college classes will be dismissed at 12 noon today so that all classrooms can be u sed by the contestants. Individual events will include extemporaneous speaking, impromptu speaking, original oratory, oratorical interpretation , and dramatic interpretation. Award medals will be given in the indi vidual events in the first, second , and third places, and a fourth-place ribbon will be awarded. In addition, a Sweepstakes cup will go to the first-place winning school. Round 1 of debate will begin at 1 p.m. today. The debate topic will be, "Resolved : That the Federal Government s hould equalize educational opportunity by means of grants to the states for public elementary and secondary education." All teams will debate both sides of the resolution. Each school may enter four debate teams. Following a dinner from 6 to 7 p.m., semi-finals will start at 7:15p.m. and finals at 8:30 p.m. Victo r Heyden, director of forensics and instructor in speec h and Palme r Kremer, instructor in speech , will assist Dean Bergman in arrangements for the tourn a me nt.

About That Other Newspaper:
ANALYSIS Diminishing Enthusiasm Dear Editor:
Editor
of the 11 School Spirit 11
To Editor
Funny thing happened the other day. Saw another newspaper on campus. It's called the School Spirit. Get that? The School Spirit. How extremely bourgois middle class can we get? Next issue we expect The School Spirit will label Telescope editors as lefthanded. Obviously the bourgois editor-publisher is competing with us to "see who can get the most response from students." (Incidently he is also associated with the Telescope in the role of photographer and his name is Ray Tiedje. Anyway we enjoyed his analysis of the last Telescope. He raves incoherently, which is the best way to rave of course. He insinuates rather cleverly that the Telescope staff is a wishy-washy bunch by challenging us to spend five minutes on the football field in order to find out how really important the game is. At his suggestion The Telescope spent a lunch hour this week in the far end zone eating our regular diet of milktoast (we all have ulcers from deadlines, you understand). We did find that football has kept the grass down well but then the grass isn't too dangerous either. See, we just didn't understand you Ray; what was it you were trying to say? We do find that you do a good job of writting with your glands. Possibly if you could share your secret we all wouldn't have to tax our minds so much. One thing we really liked was his patriotic bit about our (the US) having to stand alone in the fight for freedom. It's kind of odd though that in the same article he would say that a girl doesn't have any right to express her opinion. To set the record straight we will now clarify the Telescope's stand. In the first place we print all letters we receive. We don't censor one opinion if it disagrees with ours nor print only letters with which we agree. If EditorPublisher Tiedje would read our masthead he would see that our opinion page is just that. We feel that the students are entitled to know the opinions held by their fellows. We will continue publishing opinions held by the students whether Ed. - Pub. Tiedje likes it or not. We don't believe it is our function to hide things from the student body in order for that body to remain complacent, smooth-running and efficient. We also feel students have the right to experience school spirit from any source they choose, whether it be athletics, academics or just plain antics. We feel they have the right not to experience school spirit if they so choose. We're an anti-railroad newspaper. We express our loyalty to the student body by presenting the variety of opinions held by its members. The Telescope realizes the courageousness of Ed.- Pub. Tiedje who has found the means of echoing his tirades from the shoulders of the majority but we still hope he can recognize our meager efforts which, though may oppose the feelings of the administration, student council and Ed.-Pub. Tiedje, are presented with the welfare of the student body in mind. If Ed.-Pub. Tiedje would take advice concerning hi~ new editorial venture, the old established institution of the Telescope would recommend that he fire his editor and rehire him as a copy boy. FOR SALE

The following will be reproductions of Editor-Publisher Raymond G. Tiedje's School Spirit and accompanying comments of the Telescope. WHAT IS FOOTBALL? It's obvious that the writers of the articles on page two (of the last issue of the Telescope) are competing against each other to see who can get the most response from the students. The editor asks the question , "How important is football?" It appears that he knows nothing about the subject. Football , as well as other sports, the debate team, etc. , hold the student body together. Maybe a few of these editors shou ld get out on the field for about five minutes. Then they'd find out how important football really is. HASSMAN HAILED Now let's continue to the extreme right of the page and read so mething with a few facts in it. Here's a fellow student who searched back into the past football game statistics and used that thing on his shoulders to tell the students WHY the team is weak and not criticize its weaknesses. Jerry Hassman is so right when he says "Yell for all you are worth in that final quarter." We need rooters in the stands at a football game just as . the TELESCOPE need s students for readers. However, at t he present time, in the final analysis, I think the former is more important. FREUD OR FRAUD? Final consideration will be directed to the article, "Freud View Of Football." First of all the headline is misleading because it isn't Freuds view but Thomas Hornsby Forril's view on Football. No two minds are the same and who is this character to say that Freud 's view might have been the same as his. Freud was a Psyco-analysis and not a cheerleader. Even though he died only 22 years ago, I doubt if he had ever attended a football game. Now as far as the "semi-nude" virgins are concerned , I th'nk that even the editor of this story would rise from his seat, shout frenzied poetry, and chant ecstatic anthems. Editor's note: The headline in the Telescope read "freudian View of Football." We would hope that Mr. Tiedje would not misrepresent the case in order to write a biased article. Any student of Freud may apply his principles. Mr. Tiedje could use bone head English and psychology courses.
DEAR LOU Now move your eyes about three inches to the right. "Dear Mr. Newman: "Why Homecoming? " I don't feel that this girl had any right elaborating on the subject she knows nothing about. In her opening paragraph she writes, "It is a mystery to me why we celebrate the return of a losing football team that has been gone for less than 24 hours. " I think everything is a mystery to her. First of all we are not welcoming our football players but our alumni. Also I think that if she had taken the time to write a good article she would have found out that the football team had been gone for about 26 hours and not less than twenty-four. In paragraph three I think the correct noun in place of hot-dog is sauerkraut or spinach. After all, I know a lot of people who happen to like hot-dogs. The election of a false aristocracy and the building of a monumental float only shows female jealousy. And in regard to the Bonfire, if it weren't for those primitive tribes we may not
I ex pect ninety-odd percent of the Associated Students to disagree with the statement that follows, but please read through it with an open mind. We , a great portion of the Associated Students and myself, are losing our enthusiasm, our drive, our foresight, our potential, and our beliefs; and we feel that there is no purpose to mid-term exams, classes, or education (wi th the exception of sex). We do , however, dream about a carefree and romantic life on some South Sea island where our greatest exhaustion would be surfing or tipping up a Pineapple Collins. We think how easy it would be
Students Criticize Comments Of Ray Tiedie Dear Ray: One of your statements seems to us too sweeping and generalizing (in your answer to Lou Rabe's letter) , "Students in other countries are devoting their " Raa-Raa, do-or-die" cheers to the promotion of communism" while the U.S. has "to stand up alone in the fight for freedom ". Maybe some students in some countries cheer for communism , but you fail to realize that there are some people in the U.S. that also favor Communism. Do you think it is worse to cheer for world-spread ideals, if one believes in them, than to cheer for your own, dear football team? Do you really think that the U.S. is the only country standing up in the fight for freedom? You may not agree with other people's opinions, but you should respect them. Why do we " foreign students" have to cheer for the U.S.? Can Americans understand feelings only when they are expressed by an organized crowd? Do they believe that, if a foreign student does not attend a pep assembly or a football game, he is not fighting for freedom? Have you ever thought of the reasons for our coming to the U.S.? It is to know your country and your people; to share our experiences, both good and bad , upon returning home; to enlarge world understanding and friendshiP. We do not know if you really believe what you wrote or if you just did it to impress the readers. In both cases think a little longer before "elaborating on a subject you know nothing about" If you have time, please talk to some of the foreign students, and you will realize that we are not the only ones who have to learn during our stay in this country.
BARBARA MISELLI ANTJE DE WILDE GEORGE THOMAS have had the hammer or hatchet to build the float with. In the next paragraph we find out that the Coronation Banquet disturbed the neighboring classes. Nobody came up to me during the Banquet and told me that the noise should be cut down. Even if it did disturb these adult classes, maybe it will be a reminder for these adults to vote in favor of the next Palomar College bond issue. If they do they'll be able to acquire a class-room up in the mountains somewhere. Moving on, it seems to me that students in other countries are devoting their "Raa-Raa, door-die" cheers to the promotion of Communism. If they'd cheer a little for the U.S. we may not have to stand up alone in the fight for freedom. In her closing sentence she says that she's not pleading for the abolishment of all these "soul-inspiring" functions. Maybe if she would have bought a Homecoming Button from the club that sponsored this project, an additional scholarship might be available next summe r for a high school student.
to forget about our worries and sail off to this paradi se. Stop right here and examine the way you feel. Do your feelings correspond with these stated? If so, let's do a little detective . work. In September of 1961 you were anxious for school to begin, weren't you? You were enthusiastic about getting good grades and a good education, weren't you? Where has all this enthusiasm gone? If we look closely, it hasn't disappeared . Ithas just been covere<1 up. Someone will say: "I didn 't like that test that so-and-so gave," or something of this nature. And so begins a chain of antienthusiastic events. We know the results. We are feeling them! So to quote an old saying, "Let's burn our bridges behind us," and let's be enthusiastic!

Tiedie Called Narrow-Minded Dear Editor: We would like to commend Mr. Tiedje for showing the student body the effects of narrowminded editorial policy by publishing an example himself.

An Open Letter To Lou Rabe Dear Lou: After reading your "Letter to the Editor" in the last issue of the Telescope, it is obvious that I owe you an apology. Please forgive me for annoying you the morning I asked you to purchase one of those "35 cent Homecoming buttons. " How carefully you concealed your annoyance and how graciously you resisted my "superficial" display of school spirit. You didn't realize, did you, how "sold" I was on the Circle K idea to sponsor what they felt was a unifying, rather than a profitable activity on campus. From the contents of your letter, Lou, I suspect that you missed completely the whole, wonderful spirit that permeates a college campus during Homecoming Week. The idea did not originate at Palomar. You have only to glance at any city newspapers these days to see that Homecoming has become a national institution. We are Palomar represent the activity on a small scale compared to the universities of higher intellectual repute across the country. A week before Homecoming, more than 30 men and women students congregated in the garage of our home to begin work on the float that appeared for a brief half hour on the football field. That night they put over 7,000 white paper napkins in chicken wire, and they had a wonderful time doing it. If you had been among them, you would have understood the motives that prompted their actions, and you would have experienced the feeling of togetherness that such an activity can create. This is "school spirit" in action!
Why don't you attend the Pep Rally today? It still isn 't too late to learn the school songs and cheers. Go to the game tomorrow night and yell and sing with the rest of the rooters. Then , get in the "swing of things" at the post-game dance. Who knows, there may still be a little "crepe paper romance" left over, and if there is , it may reach out and touch your heart.
