Four Editors Appointed Orlando Heads Telescope Frank Orlando. Vincent Streano, Diane Lichtenberger, and Mrs. Esther Whitt have been appointed to head the various student publications of Palomar. The new editors were appointed during a meeting of the Publications Board last week. Orlando, who occupied the post of Managing Editor last semester was voted in by the Board. When asked what his main objective will be as Editor in Chief of the Telescope he said, "I want to try to attack the problem df apathy on this campus. I say try, because it's hard to attack an enemy as elusive as apathy. A great many Junior Colleges are faced with this problem year after year. The student publications try to arouse interest in the school by printing a few editorials condemning the student body for their passive attitude. The only thing that the student publications ever accomplish with this strategy is the anomosity of the student body who, sick of lectures, quit reading the paper." Vincent Streano became the Sports Editor after being unanimously voted in by the Board. Streano worked as the assistant sports editor under Charles Hoadley during .the fall semester. A change from the usual procedure resulted in the division of the editorship of the student magazine, Focus, into two asso-

Dunn spoke to the members on their responsibilities to the student body.

Thirty delegates, including all council members, are to attend from Area I school.

Political Clubs To Hold Primary Mock Elections All Full-Time Students At Palomar College Are Invited To Participate All full time students of Palomar will have a chance to cast a vote for the candidate of their choice in the mock elections to be conducted by the Young Democrats and the Young Republicans starting with a general primary February 13 and 15. The campus political clubs hope that this mock Presidential election will help to develop a sense of political awareness among the student body. The election will acquaint the students with the political ideas and the personalities that will make n_e ws in the coming national elections. Both groups are asking for some indications as to which presidential candidates the students will support. The mock election Will be broken down into three major steps. The first step will entail nominating candidates for the primary election. The ballot to be used in the determination of each party's primary candidates (see page three). Students will vote for their choice in the Student Union Thursday and Friday. The polls will be open from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. The Young Democrats and Young Republicans will collect the ballots and tabulate the results which will be made public upon completion. The students can then form organized groups in support of the various candidates nominated. These groups can actively support their candidates with speeches, campaign material, and any other legal means available. To be nominated and placed on their party's primary ballot, the candidates must receive 5% of the total votes cast in their respective parties in the first vote. Additional unmarked ballots are to be made available by the two clubs. When a person registers, he must give his name and party affiliation. Another reason for requiring the name and ASB card of the student is to prevent ballot stuffing. The result of the Nomination Election will appear in the February 18 issue of Telescope. The clubs hope that there will be

Intellectual Theme Stated As Aim Of Newman Club

Lincoln 1 S Education A Constant Symbol Of American Energies Finding the self-educated self-made man in the United States today is limited to Who's Who and History books. This man is a man of the past and is destined to stay there. One hundred fifty years ago tomorrow, our most famous selfmade man was born - Abraham Lincoln. The story of Lincoln's humble birth, his self-education and rise to the unquestioned leadership of the union is an epic of the self-made man. This country honors him as it honors few of its political leaders. But the era of the self-made man is gone. It has passed. No matter how the imagination might work, today is here. And

By Karl Johnson

today the conditions are not right for the self-made man to evolve. AVAILABILITY OF EDUCATION

The poorest public education available in the United States today is better than any Lincoln might have expected to receive. Today public schools are universally available to the average student. For Lincoln there were no public schools. While Lincoln had to work for books, there are now more books than we could hope to read. The present-day student's time is his own, but Lincoln had to work to survive. Our education is served to us, Lincoln had to seek his. The self-educated self-made 1.

man has been and is a symbol of the United States and the type of country it is. The quality of the educational system of today has surpassed the image of the self-made man as the indicator of our country's progress. The self-made man may be the product of his time, but it is the man not the time that made him. Lincoln was strong both mentally and physically; he worked for what he got. As success took a strong man to do what Lincoln did, it takes a strong man now. Even though the path is easier with free education and almost unlimited opportunities open to anyone willing to take advantage of them, few have risen to the heights of Abraham Lincoln.

Teclaw, Recording Secretary, Joanne LaCarrubba, Corresponding Secretary, and Glenn Baily, Treasurer. Nick Kremer took over the meeting at that time and introduced Father Patrick O'Connor OFM, who is a teacher at San Luis Rey College. Fr. Patrick, who is also the sponsor of the Newman At Palomar, then gave a short talk about the club. He stated that during the Newman Club Convention at Idyllwild this last fall, the statistics showed that Newman At Palomar had one of the highest attendance rates of all tl:te iuiJior colleges in California. He further stated that, "The Newman At Palomar is a religious and intellectual club designed to provide stimulating rather than social activities." This semester they have a highly qualifie.Ji speaker for each meeting to speak on assorted topics of interest to all college students. The next one will be on "A New Look At Philosophy" by Fr. Geoffrey Bridges, Ph.D., who is the Chairman of the Philosophy Department of San Luis Rey College. Sp<>cial events, such as an (Continued to page 4)
