Bonfire Contest Set "Anything you can do, we can do better!" will be the war cry of the women students as they compete with the men next Friday to see who can build the biggest bonfire. One of the activities of homecoming week has been altered a little. Instead of having just a bonfire and rally, Palomar will have two bonfires and a rally. The bonfires will be built Friday, November 8th, behind the F building. Fire building will start at 8:00, and anyone having lumber to contribute should be sure to bring it along. It will be a contest to see who can build the best blaze and who can do it fastest. The AMS versus AWS should encourage participation from both sides. After the bonfires are really blazing there will be a big pep rally climaxed by burning an Oceanside-Carlsbad College player in effigy.

Dr. Generales To Speak In 11Warless World 11 Series Dr. Minos Generales
Dr. Minos Generales, professor of Political Science at San Diego State, and head of the Institute of World Affairs held each summer on the San Diego campus, will appear in the Student Union Nov. 15, to speak on the general topic: "Can we achieve a warless world?" Dr. Generales will approach the subject from the political scientist's point of view. Dr. -Generales is the second speaker in the • Dr. Generales Humanities Lecture Series. Dr. T. Walter Wallbank professor of History at the University of Southern California commenced the lecture series by
ASB Council Post Debated By Judicial Committee "Should the chairman of the Cultural Activities and Assemblies Committee have a seat on Council or on the Faculty Assemblies Commiteee?" was the main question brought before the Judicial Committee at its meeting Tuesday. The ASB Constitution states that the Student Assemblies Committee is to be a standing committee. It also recognizes the existence of the Faculty Assemblies Committee. Chip Harrison, chairman of the student committee, stated that the duty of the committee would be to work in co-ordination with the faculty committee on lectures, hoots, and other ASB activities. NO FINAL SAY
Although the student committee does not have final say, Dean Wallace, Faculty Assemblies Committee representative, pointed out that any suggestions from them would be considered responsible and would be highly regarded. According to the ASB Con-
stitution, the presidents of AMS and AWS are to cooperate with the faculty committee; so it was decided that they should also serve on the student committee. After discussion, it was decided by unanimous vote that three parts of the constitution be revised. ARTICLES REVISED
speaking on the same general topic covered from a historical angle. ATTENDANCE HI!
Palomar's Dean of Instruction, Virgil L. Bergman, said of Dr. Wallbank's lecture: "He rereceived an excellent reception by the students that attended. My only disappointment is that more students didn't take advantage of a man of his stature being on campus." A world without war has been one of mankind's fondest dreams. Philosophers, politicians, and scholars have poured over the attainment of this goal. Pacifists have given overly idealistic answers, and cynics have given answers that might work .with a herd of sheep but not with humanity. TIMELY SUBJECT

Clubs Sponsor Queen Contest 4 BGmecoming Queen will be selected this Friday from seven candidates sponsored by various on-campus organizations and will reign during the Homecoming game and the dance scheduled for Saturday. Although each of the campus organizations has the right to sponsor a candidate, only seven did. The clubs and their respective candidates are: Phi Beta Lanibda, Kathy Fowler; Sigma Omicron, June Tsutsumi; Circle K, Linda -Opie; Tau Epsilon, Eliza beth Emmott; International Club, Cecilia Vargas; WRA, Carol Howell; and Wesley Club, Jenny Dallas. The ASB will vote Wednesday to select five semi-finalists. Runoffs will be held Friday to determine which will be Homecoming queen. The winner will be crowned during halftime ceremonies at Saturday's game with ASB president Larry Clarke making the presentation. The evening will be climaxed by the homecoming dance, "An Evening in Heaven" during which the queen and her court will be honored with a special dance.
cheering section. At 8:00 p.m. there will again be competition. Women Students will compete with the men to see who can build the largest bonfire. This contest will take place behind the 'F' building. Saturday will climax the week as Palomar meets OceansideCarlsbad college on the Vista field. The Homecoming Queen will be crowned during halftime ceremonies by ASB president Larry Clarke. Convertibles for the Queen and her Court will be donated by Peterson Ford in Encinitas, and by Homer Heller and Quality Oldsmobile in Escondido. DANCE TO BE HELD
The homecoming dance will be held in the Student Union following the game. The theme for the dance will be "An Evening in Heaven", and the attire will be dressy dress. Andrea Salmon, dance chairman, planned the dance with the aid of the Homecoming Committee co-chairmen, Sue Nelson and Karen Ruskin. There will also be a Queen's Dance to highlight the evening. CirCle K will help with the Homecoming by rallying the men students for the bonfire and by helping to set up the field for the halftime cere. monies.
Palomar Students In Radio Program Palomar College participated Monday night in KUDE radio's new "High School-College Highlights" program·. Through the collaboration of the Speech and Journalism Departments, campus activities will have another means of being communicated. The advantages of this media are· apparent in that people outside the college are given an opportunity to learn what activities are prominent on campus. The college broadcasts will be made every other Monday between 7 and 8 p.m. The next news broadcast will be November 11th.
COULD BE BETTER/I
Tidiness of Cafeteria Seen Improving Dr. McGeever appeared before the ASB Council last Monday to inform the council that is highly pleased with the progress made in cleaning up the cafeteria. "A definite improvement has been seen, although there is still room to improve," stated Dr. McGeever. He felt that the Judicial Committee has been very helpful. Dr. McGeever added that our student body has a moral obligation to this school, and their actions reflect on the students and the school itself."
The first is Article 2, Section 7b, which has been revised to read: "Cooperate with the Faculty Assemblies Committee and serve on the Cultural Activities and Assemblies Committee on planning of assemblies." This section pertains to the duties of the AMS and AWS presidents. The second part to be revised Phil Giambrone, chairman of was Article 4, Section la, which the Financial Committee, stated changes the name of the com- that the committee had come up mittee to the Cultural Activities with some possible suggestions and Assemblies Committee. for long range financial planThird to be revised was Ar- ning.

FINANCING TOLD
Karen Ruskin, co-chairman of the homecoming Committee, gave a rough financial report to the council. The band, decorations, the crown, flowers, and other items will total approximately $208.00. The ASB budget has allotted the committee $250. It was decided by vote of council that there will be no charge to ASB card holders for the Homecoming dance. Those without ASB cards will be charged a dollar stag or drag. An AMS council will be put into effect very soon, according to Terry Schwaner, AMS president. Activation of the AMS will include two representatives at large, a member of each of the men's service clubs, and a parliamentarian. SAFETY CAMPAIGN SET
Joe Lee, who was delegated to look into the safety program, reported to the council that there will be no competition with other schools. The program is being instituted "to prevent
an outrageous number of acci~ dents during the Thanksgiving and Christmas vacations" according to Joe Lee. The cam· paign will include posters, speeches, and pamphlets. A big intercollege hootenanny is being formulated for next semester. Each college involved is to put up $100 front money for publicity and to get things started, according to Larry Clarke, ASB president. ASB POST VACATED
Representative at large Karen Ruskin resigned her post on the council due to academic pressures. The resignation acceptance was sustained by council vote. Five delegates to be sent to Monterey were decided upon. Our top executives - Larry Clarke, president; Patti Nystrom, secretary; and Phil Giambrone, treasurer - will attend. The other two members will be Steve Hinthorne, sophomore class president; and Bob Mullins, freshman class president.

FRANK ORL~NDO SAYS
pangs of hunger ... and growing p'a ins by Tom Gable
HALLOWEEN NIGHT - Thousands of little, tiny merrimakers, cavorting through the brush and undergrowth, made things a little brighter and a little funnier tonight in the annual ritual of hobgoblins known as Halloween. Door to door they went, getting more scores than the Fuller Brush man and collecting more trash than a Goodwill truck. They wore every kind of costume imaginable, from hobo to Mickey· Mouse, and rang doorbells and shouted and yelled and had one hell of a good time. Even the mobs of pranksters that always make the rounds were relatively good. They only let the air out of three of my tires and only burned one dirty word in my lawn with bleach. Of course you know that they put a cherry bomb in my mailbox, but other than that, things were pretty quiet.
TIGHT WITH TOOTSIE ROLLS I sat and answered the front door for a while because my parents were out "Trick or Drinking" with some of the neighbors, which I will explain later, and was constantly amazed at the reactions from the little monsters when I gave them only two Tootsie rolls. Some of the tinier gremlins only sat there meekly by the door and mumbled derisive remarks through their masks. The reaction from some of the older kids actually bordered on the sublime. One actually had the nerve to ask me for a cigarette and, when I refused, kicked me in the shins. One of his cohorts hit me over the head with his trick or treat bag, a large trick or treat bag filled with candy, and then gave me a judo chop to the kidneys. Satisfied that they had done an adequate job, they fled into the night screaming filthy words.
JUNIOR MEMBER OF COSA NOSTRA "How would ya like your dog rubbed out?" asked one of the more forward youngsters when I refused to give him anything until he got out of my begonias. I think he was a Little League member ofCosa Nostra. "I'm warning ya buddy, gimme some candy or your wife and kids might not make it to church Sunday." I think he was a finger-man for the syndicate when he wasn't going to his third grade class. A little Joe Valachi no less. "Look," I said, "Get your fat little body out of my flowers and off the property before I stuff you in a pumpkin, put a wick in your mouth, and use you for a center piece on my dining room table." He left, post haste, only to return a few minutes later with his mob. "I'm back, ya fink, and I got my boys with me. Now give us all the goodies you got before we roll your car and burn your garage." AI Capone had been reincarnated.
LITTLE BROTHER IS A HERO About this time, my little brother (14-yearsold, five-foot-five, and weighing one-hundred and fifty pounds) came fn with some of his friends and quickly disposed of my tormentors. By now, from the distance, I could make out the forms and voices of my parents and SQme of the neighbors meandering up the street singing Christmas carols. They were just completing their own Halloween ritual known as "Trick or 1 Drinking" and were trying to find the right house so they could go to bed. "Trick or Drin'king" consists of going door to door with a highball glass in hand and collecting the various and sundry liquids offered by your friends and neighbors. These liquids usually run the gamut from Drambuie to Nigrito. One of our more exotic neighbors offers nothing but "Missionary's Downfalls", "Singapore Slings", and "Stingers". You can see why they were hav~ng trouble trying to find the house. Dad came in· and kept trying to -tell m-e -about how they had given Ex-Lax to some of the more unruly youngsters, but he would just begin his story when he would fall off the couch laughing. Mom sat there and laughed about how one of the neighbors had turned on his sprinklers while thirty or forty kids were carving up his lawn. The evening finally ended when the clock struck midnight, and I turned into a pumpkin. So did this story.
A Search for Education Never Ends Education is a drug. It has the power to completely enslave you in your acquisition of it. You want to find an answer to a question that you feel is important. You ask people for the answer, you read books that discuss this question, and somewhere in your search for the answer, you discover that there are other, more important questions that need answering. You also discover that the answer (if it's an honest one) is
not easy to find. You might find yourself- saying "Who cares?" and try to abandon your quest. But you find it's no good - you start to experience intellectual withdrawal pains. Of course you can always avoid the work and pain ·by accepting the first answer that presents itself - but again that'.s no good. When the holes start to appear in your conveniently former answer you know that another easy answer can never suffice for you.
Where do you stop? When do you draw the line and say "That's it - I've had all of the education I need." If like an addictive drug, you're really hooked on education, you don't stop. Your whole life is devoted to finding out things. You question, you read, you listen and you speak. In all ways, at all times you dig out facts, then digest them, and finally test them.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Rebuttals Bounce In On·''Kangaroo'' Editori-al To the Editor: Having read, discussed, and given thought to your article concerning the Kangaroo Kourt of Friday, October 25, I would like to submit a few comments. It was not the purpose of the Kourt to ruin students' lunches. An attempt was made to do something which might stimulate a little participation on the part of the Student Body. I feel that if only a few persons in the entire Student Union at that time participated and earnestly tried to encourage spirit the activity was worth while.
I regret that you weren't feeling well at the time, I regret that the activity was received with so little enthusiasm. But for the fact that an attempt was made to encourage participation, an attempt which was honestly carried out, I have no reservations. Sincerely, Terry D. Schwaner
***
To the Editor: I would like to make a clarification about the Kangaroo Court held on Sweatshirt Day. Many of the students were under the impression that the court was a sanctioned function of Circle K or the student government. While members of these organizations operated the court they were unauthorized to do so. The impromptu court was not authorized or conducted by the student government. Respectfully, Nick Kremer Representative at large
***
To--the Editor: This is a letter of clarification concerning the Kangaroo Court held on Sweatshirt Day. Many of the students thought that the court was a function of either the A.S.B. Government or the Circle K. I would like to clarify this, by saying that neither the A.S.B. Government nor the Circle K had authorized or conducted this court. Respectfully, TomLocido Representative at Large EDITORS NOTE: I am touched that you are so concerned with my health. But at the same time, I am astounded at your apparent disregard for the lawful procedures of Palomar's constitution. I refer specifically to the letters of Nick Kremer and Tom Lodico, representatives at large, in which they stated that you and/or the other members of the sweatshirt day's "Kangaroo Kourt" did not feel it necessary to clear your proposed "Kourt" with the student government.
I am also touched py your seemingly noble motivations in carrying out this miscarriage of comedy, but I do not feel that they excuse the gross lack of organization displayed throughout the "Kourt." I am surprised that you also did not see fit in your letter to give the stude11t body some assurance that you would not hereafter disregard the set procedures governing school functions, nor did you apologize for the lack of organization in the "honestly carried out" attempt to stimulate school spirit. I am surprised that you have "no reservations." - FRANK ORLANDO

ESSAYS FEATURED In the last issue of the Telescope, a student's essay was submitted by an English instructor. Reaction to this essay (Integration of the American Indian) has been such that the Student Commentary will become a regular feature of 'the Telescope. Students attending Palomar are invited to submit contributions for publication on the editorial page. Topics that will be discussed are left to the discretion of the author. The only thing that · will be insisted upon however, is that the contributions be well written and in good taste. Instructors in any subject are asked to keep a sharp eye out for students essays submitted in class. The Student Commentary is not to be confused with the Letters to the Editor.
All freshmen interested in the workings of government now have a chance to learn from the ground up." Petitions are avaitable in the ASB Activities Office this week for the freshmen class. The campaigns will be run during the week of November 11-15, and the elections will be held November 20. The rules for posters are available in the ASB office, and they must be followed or the posters will be removed.
***
Various remarks have been overheard in the student union concerning the ill-fated "Kangaroo Court" held on Sweatshirt Day. The court has been called everything from "a group of exhibitionists, feeding their egos at the expense of lunchtime peace" to "a farcical attempt to raise school spirit." Whatever the opinions, even the most thick-skinned of students will admit the school spirit is at a new low. It is up to the students to "make" Palomar, since we ARE Palomar. Without school spirit (and by school spirit I do not mean merely attendance at football games and dances) Palomar will degenerate into what some opponents of the junior college system have called it - a 'high school with ashtrays.' Anyone with constructive ideas on school spirit should contact a representative-atlarge, who will take your ideas to the student council. This is your school. In future years it will be what you have made it.

Palomar Athletic Squads Will Compete In New Conference By GLEN BAILEY
The final contest of the Comet's 63-64 athletic schedule will mark the end of a long and successful history in the South-Central Conference. OceansideCarlsbad, Antelope Valley, Santa Barbara, College of the Desert, and Imperial Valley will be conference opponents of the past, for in the future, Palomar will compete as a member of the newly formed Pacific Southwest Conference. ¡ LOCAL SETTING

Three Weeks Away
Mark your calendars for 8 p.m. Saturday night, and be at Vista High! That's when and where Palomar College will take on that gruesome villain of the coast, Oceanside-Carlsbad in a continuation of one oflocal football most torrid rivalries . As an added attraction, it will also be homecoming for the Comets. Beat 0-C In '62
As usual, Palomar will be an underdog to the perennially powerful Spartans but last year the Comets handed OceansideCarlsbad a sensational 12-6 setback on the coast college's own field. Coach Chris Pagakis's men, fresh from a 42-18 rout of the San Fernando State JayVee will be fired up for the Spartans. There will be more than prestige at stake, for a victory would give the red and gray at least a shot at second place in the South Central Conference standings. Rosenthal, Jenkins, Bell Score
Pagakis will base his offensive hopes on Rick Rosenthal, Bill Jenkins and Wayne Bell in an attempt to outscore the highly touted enemy. This talented trio accounted for 32 of Palomar's 42 points against San Fernando. Last Saturday at Vista, a greatly improved Palomar offense completely overwhelmed the visiting Matadors. The Comets raced to a 22-0 lead in the second quarter, withstood a fierce three touchdown rally by San Fernando, then ripped off 20 straight points to salt away the game. The Matador comeback had reduced the Palomar lead to 22-18 at halftime. 4-3 For Season
Jerry Shelton, Wayne Layton, Bell, Jenkins and Rosent hal were among the many standouts for Pagakis's outfit which now stands 4-3 for the campaign. The Palomar defense picked up a safety late in the contest to highlight an outstanding performance. Score by quarters: Palomar San Fernando

Bill Jenkins Sparks Palomar On Gridiron; Kansas Product By VINCE STREANO
The Palomar College Comets have found a new halfback star in the person of Bill Jenkins. Jenkins was formerly the team's number two quarterback, but lately coach Chris Pagakis thought he would do more for the team at halfback. With Jenkins playing halfback, the Comets have a double passing threat with he and Rick Rosenthal in the backfield at some time. Jenkins has played at the halfback slot for two games, and he has averaged over six yards per carry.
