Counci I Sends Five Delegates To Conference The A.S.B. council is now in the process of choosing five delegates to represent Palomar at the Spring State Conference.

The conference will be held at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles during the weekend of April23-25.

The general purpose of this conference is to increase the activities and efficiency of junior college student governments. Representatives from J.C.'s all over California will attend.

Last fall a conference was held at Asilomar, November 21-23. Seventy-four junior colleges from California were represented. Five delegates, Laurence Clarke, Phillip Giambrone, Steve Hinthorne, Bob Mullins and Patti Nystrom were sent from Palomar. The cost was $186, which came from the A.S.B. budget.

Steve Hinthorne, council president, says delegates gain a broadened outlook on all aspects of student government.

They bring back ideas for club activities and Inter-Club Council as well as for the student body in general. "One of the most valuable improvements gained from the conference," says Hinthorne, "was the adoption of more severe parliamentary procedure in our council meetings."

FACULTY-STUDENT RELATIONS

At each conference a closer inter-school contact is established. Schools are able to plan joint activities such as the Area I Hootenanny to be held March 20-21. Schools discuss mutual governmental problems and propose resolutions and recommendations. Examples of recommendations were those made to further faculty-student relationships and college-community relationships.

Steve Hinthorne appointed a committee to investigate the criteria for student delegates to the State Conference in Los Angeles. The commit(ee, composed of J o Ann Earls, Representative at Large; Phil Giambrone, Vice President; Darlene Butterworth, ASB Secretary; and Bob Mullins, Freshman Class President; will determine whether the choice of delegates will be for services rendered or position on couQcil.

In other action , the board voted a special resolution of commendation for the Palomar students who earned recognition on the Dean's list for the ir high grade average in the fall semester.

Student Election Possible Clue To November 3 Presidential Election In the March 11 and 12 general election, President Lyndon B. Johnson will be running against Senator Barry Goldwater for the United States Presidency.

Mr. Johnson was an easy victor over his opponents with 99 votes; Governor George C. Wallace received 15 and Attorney General Robert Kennedy received one write in vote as he was not put on the ballot. Senator Goldwater won the Republican nomination with 30 votes. Richard Nixon and Henry Cabot Lodge following closely with 28 and 24 votes - respectively.

TEACHERS PRAISED

The Governing Board last Tuesday unanimously recorded its opposition to the pending Assembly bill proposing to create county-wide school districting with all schools under the jurisdiction of a single county board.

The Palomar trustees expressed opposition especially to the principle of what they termed "centralization " of county school administration within a single board and loss to local districts channels to their local boards for public schools.

The board directed that a resolution setting out their objections to the proposed legislation be drafted for their signitures and forwarded to state lawmakers.

Johnson And Goldwater Candidates For Election

this honor list is exceptionally good for an enrollment as large as Palomar's" said Morse Olmstead, board chairman, "and not only the students, but the faculty and the student's parents should be commended for this achievement of high academic excellence.

BIDS CONSIDERED

The board will meet in adjourned session March 3 to consider bids on an estimated $100,000 in new equipment and furnishings for the new classroom and laboratory buildings soon to get under construction.

Bids for construction of these projects are to be opened March 17.

Out of the first portion of the bond sale for the project, in the amount of $1 ,600,000, the county treasurer and the college administration prepared a schedule of short-term investments in government securities of all but $80,000 of that amount. The board approved the investment and noted that the interest income from this action will be a factor in reducing tax rate and financing cost in connection with the $2,550,000 bond issue voted last October for the college building program.

Gun Pack in' Gri Is Catch Their Men After a long chase with a gun •Daisy Mae was heard to say, "Ha ha I got him. He didn't have a chance." To which Clem replied in self-defense, "I gave up running." This and a Southern drawl was the theme of the female dominated Sadie Hawkins Dance last Saturday night.

VITAL STATISTICS

During the evening "Marrin' Sam" was kept quite busy. He joined 50 couples in "unholy matrimony, in a true-to-life Dogpatch ceremonee. Amen."

Dogpatch's divorce rate is zero. Of the 50 couples married none of the men were able to get divorces , though some seemed to be trying.

The Student Union was decorated with hay bales, a soap-making kettle (unused) , various sized brown jugs, and a "County Seat."

BAND ENJOYS PLAYING

Music , provided by a combination of the Esquires and Blue Velvets alia s the "Coorsmen," though not Hillbilly style was enjoyed by all. A band member sa id that the band enjoyed playing for the dance becau se everyone was responsive and enjoyed themselves.

Mr. John M. Schwarz, a chaperone, had only one criticism of the dance, that was, " I feel like such a square sitting watching the dancers."

licans. Ellison implied that there had been a definite split between the liberal and conservative Republicans; liberals backing Nixon and conservatives backing Goldwater. This may prove to be a definite advantage for the Democratic party.

REPUBLICANS WEAKENED

VOTING DROPS

"If the liberal and middle of the road Republicans had pooled their votes for one candidate, he would have a good chance of defeating Mr. Johnson," said Jim Ellison, acting President of the Young Repub-

"There were 246 total votes cast in the nominating election as compared with 214 for the primary. Is the loss of these 32 votes an indication that the student body is losing interest in the election?" queried Roy A. Archer, political science instructor and advisor to the Young Democrats. "We hope the student body will take an active part in campaigning for one of the two nominated candidates. If we get a large turnout at the general election it is quite possible that Palomar College will get a great deal of national recognition for having given an indication as to how a contest between Senator Goldwater and Mr. Johnson might come out on a Nation wide basis," said Archer.

When asked if active campaigning had already started, Archer replied, "Both parties have started to· plan the campaigns for their candidates, but the Goldwater supporters will have to work very hard to defeat Mr. Johnson due to the large liberal Republican vote.

I urge anyone interested in working for a candidate to get in touch with the president or a member of that candidate's club."

Slave Sale Is Campus Custom Bob Stonehocker brought $3.25 as the highest priced slave sold at the annual slave sale. The sale kicked off Women's Week which ended last Saturday night at the Sadie Hawkins dance, when the slaves were given their freedom.

The slave sale, a campus tradition, is sponsored by Sigma Omicron. It drew a large crowd to the Student Union, though the bidding was much less than in previous years, according to one Sigma Omicron member.

Golf coach Dwight Bowman did the auctioning and managed to draw more laughs than money from the many students.

Besides Stonehocker, other slaves sold were; Hie Thompson, Bob Mullins, Bob Ringland, Chip Harrison, Steve Hancher, John Handly, Dino Giambrone, Ralph Vaughan, Rich Matthews, and J. C. Wesley. These slaves · are required to do the biddings of their owners during Women's week. This generally includes washing cars, carrying books, and running various errands.

Most of the girls usually go fairly light on the "punishment" they dish out, because they realize that the men will have their revenge in May during Men's week when the girls are sold as slaves. · The proceeds from the slave sale, totalling $10.38, was used to help pay for the band at the Sadie Hawkins dance.

The band, a combination of The Esquires and Blue Velvets, provided music for the dance.

library Receives Book Donation A large contribution was recently given to the Palomar Library by Mrs. Elenor M. Bradley, in memory of her husband, John H . Bradley, Professor of Geology at the University of Southern California .

The donation consisted of 826 books. The library in turn gave 165 of these books to the San Marcos High School. These were books of high school level.

A memorial plate has been put in each of these books in memory of the donor's husband.

FAITH LOST 11

Religious Language Not Understood Says Trotter 11

,

"Religious faith doesn't fit in the world today," said Dr. F. Thomas Trotter, Associate Professor of Religion and the Arts at the Southern California School of Theology at Claremont.

Dr. Trotter commented that people and religion like a novice horse rider, have difficulty in the early stages. "People don't know religion because they don't understand the language used in modern religion.

The use of religious language has changed ," stated Dr. Trotter.

People feel religious belief is faith and it doesn't matter as to meaning. Reformation of the church and the formation of ideas of the orthodox church excludes the ideas of others. Dr. Trotter said there should be an examining of thoughts and ideas of doctrines in the church for each period of history.

Exposition of knowledge has forced religion into a "compart-

ment" like many other fields of study stated Dr. Trotter. People narrow their thoughts to one field like religion and spend little time thinking about other areas of study.

People try to avoid religion by out-flanking the issue; others attack religion and still others feel that religion is a private matter and should be dealt wittl privately.

Dr. Trotter commented that religion is trying to take a step to change some faulty ideas. The Catholic religion has started to change some of their traditional beliefs as evidenced by the Ecumenical conference decisions.

"Existentialism is not a school of thought, but rather an accent to religion," said Dr. Trotter.

Existentialism is the study of the current ideas and theories expressed through an examination of the history of philosophical thought.

FRITTZ IN WONDERLAND

Yes, We Have One Banana.

By KENN CUTIER

Sometimes Frittz Schnipple is s_imply unbearable. Last week I asked him if he would like to "make it" down to the Area 1, Section 3790648 Hootenany. He told me to drop dead.

Somehow I got the impression that Frittz is definitely not for hootenanies. He explained to me that they are a total corruption of good folk music, horribly earmarked by hand clapping, foot tapping, and the "all join in and ruin the song" bit. It seems that Frittz has been notably influenced by the time that he spent among a congregation of pure folk singers somewhere back in the hills. This fastly diminishing breed of relatively unknown talent is overwhelmingly anti-hoot and non-commercial. Their essential substance comes from the basic purity of expression that they present in basement coffee houses on the road, before appreciative, not vociferous, audiences.

Frittz went on to say that among the jupior college folk singers that he has seen there are a few promising expressionists. Their presence is sadly marred, however, by "Mr. Hoot", that selfstyled, pseudo intellectual guitar picker who believes that he has something to give to folk music. His development undoubtedly 1 started in junior high school with the Ricky Nelson phase when Mum and Dad gave him his first guitar, an official Silvertone 1 from Sears and Roebuck. Today his status strumming gives him that "top banana" feeling, and while a few naive hooters (exRicky Nelson fans) think that he is "the most" he remains to pure folk music the proverbial sore thumb.

According to Frittz the most serious detriment to folk music is the TV hootenany. It invariably opens with Jake Finklittle, the All-American MC, before the cameras: "Howdy, howdy, howdy, boys and girls! Welcome to the hoot! This week we are coming to you from Wallawalla State College, enrollment 803. Tonight we have with us Joe and Bill, Bill and Tom, Tom, Joe and Bill, the New Tristy Gypsies, and (the everpresent) comedian Ralfie Flop.

We'ss be right back, gang, with lots of clappin' and tappin' right after a few words from路 each of our six sponsors." Even when the TV hoot manages to present good folk talent camera angles, kiddie participation, and the lack of the proper atmosphere destroys the experience.

The best folk music tradition of the past was one of group singing; the finest modern mode is one of individual expression.

When not misused both have much to offer. But in the true American fashion they have been hacked up, melted down, made into a compromise product, and then sold. It is conceivable that in the future we will have but one type of music, a combination of all the present forms . Won't that be grand? We can call it NOISE. And then we can all get together and have what-enanies.

DONNA ROSEN SAYS:

Social Enthusiasts Fight Lost Cause What does Palomar college have to offer its students? We the students of Palomar are offered a modern, new, school with bright and well equipped class rooms. The campus is moderately compact so that if you are not a person with inclinations toward physical fitness you don't have to take a mile walk to get from class room to , class room. The main asset of Palomar is the fact that one can attain a good education, one comparable, if not superior to most four year colleges, for a grand total of fifteen dollars peryear. . Many of our instructors hold PhD's. However, this does not imply that those that don't are inferior, as I personally feel that Palomar's instructors are tops in their varied fields.

RAPID REGISTRATION

The subject range is complete, and I doubt that many students feel that there is a specific lack of courses. Escecially when one considers considers that there are only about fifteen hundred students enrolled compared to San Diego State's enrollment of 17,000 students. Per capita we have a larger selection of courses.

Registration here is convenient and rapid. There is no comparing that of waiting in a mile long line for hours to select one course to that of having a ten minute conference with your counselor. In most cases one finds himself completely registered within a half hour. Also very few colleges offer consolation at registration ti tion at registration time.

STIMULATING LECTURES

The Humanities Lecture series is also something we should be very proud of. Practically once a week some outstanding educational figure speaks on some topic of interest. Two weeks ago a Nobel Prize winner spoke. It is not often that a school of a limited enrollment such as we have gets this privilege. Palomar offers its students a convenient and well standing education. These I believe are the qualities of Palomar. However, the downfall of the college is its futile attempts at an extracurricular activity program.

STUDENT COMMENTARY

Hydrogen-Filled Soap Bubbles Pancake Ice Cream Cones

By R. E. HALLET

The Chatauqua, one of the highlights of my boyhood, was a program designed to expose the community to education and culture in a painless manner by means of lectures and other refining forms of entertainment. The town in which I was raised had a park used exclusively for the purpose, and there was an annual session lasting for two weeks. The wellto-do of our community had summer cabins in the park and they got full advantage of the program. Others, less affluent, got their education and culture in homeopathic doses by camping out in 路rented tents for a few days. But the great majority of us could only come for a day or part of it, and while a bit of it no doubt did rub off upon us, it must be confessed that the serious side of the program was of little interest to us kids in short pants and the number of two-somes sauntering along the wooded paths was a pretty sure indication that there were other attractions.

THE MYSTERIES OF CHEMISTRY

It was at the Chautauqua that I was initiated into a few of the mysteries of chemistry, although the lecturer seemed to me to be more prestidigitator than scientist. We watched in bug-eyed wonder as he dropped a piece of potassium into a glass dish of water and saw it take off in a cloud of smoke with the erratic movements of a water strider. We saw a piece of phosphorus, which he had placed upon a dish and apparently forgotten, burst into flame for no reason at all, creating a small

panic among the audience.

He finished his lecture by separating water into its component gases by electrolysis, col- lecting the hydrogen and oxygen in separate flasks. We watched, breathless, as he exploded hydrogen-filled soap bubbles by touching them with a lighted taper and his climactic conclusion of touching an iron wire, inserted into the oxygen-filled flask, with the same taper. The wire literally exploded in a shower of sputtering sparks! It was a wonderful evening and I decided then and there that I would be a chemist instead of a locomotive engineer.

HAND-MADE ICE CREAM CONES

Here, too, I tasted my first ice cream cone, a thin pancake baked on the spot over a gasoline burner by a street vender. He shaped it hot over a wooden cone, filled it with ice cream and handed it to me and it was a race for me to gulp it down before the contents had melted and run out of the bottom of the con~.

And it was at Chautauqua that I saw my first movie with the figures of the actors jerking across the screen like victims of St. Vitus dance. I little knew that I was watching the birth pangs of a business that would take the public by storm. Who, in his wildest dreams, could have foreseen the impact that sound, color and three dimensions in the cinema would have upon our civilization? And how wild-eyed would one have to have been to foresee television and weather forecasts growing from the toy that amused us 60 years ago?

The Telescope Book Review

By FRANK ORLANDO, Editor

A NATION OF SHEEP, Published by Fawcett (50c paperback available at the bookstore) is primarily devoted to criticizing American Foreign Policy in the Far East.

William J. Lederer, co-author of THE UGLY AMERICAN, spent years in the far east serving as special assistant and publicinformation officer to the Commander-inChief, Pacific. Lederer goes to great pains to paint the blackest possible picture of American efforts in the far east. However, this is not the main point of A NATION OF SHEEP, Lederer feels that THE UGLY AMERICAN, showed how disastrous our high echelon blunders have been.

tyrannical regimes against the will of their subjects, according to Lederer.

Examples of how the "inscrutable" Asian governments have used Communists as a bogey-man to scare more money out of the US abound in the novel. He cites the small and turbulent country of Laos, which according to Lederer, received more aid per capita than any other country from "Uncle Sam, the great western sugar daddy". He gives first hand evidence to prove how Chiang Kai Shek faked a full scale naval battle to shake funds loose from the US. CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM

A NATION OF SHEEP is a critical book.

US MISINFORMED

Lederer devotes his book to the study of how the lack of, or false information has been catastrophic to the American image abroad. Laos, China, Formosa, Korea, Cambodia, Thailand, are used as classic examples of how the Foreign Aid of America has been wasted. In zeroing in on these countries, Lederer for all his research portrays all of their leaders as clever and unscrutable individuals. It seems difficult to believe that the policy makers in Washington could be as foolish as Lederer would have us believe. The leaders of far eastern countries are all scheming to extort billions of US dollars to perpetuate their inept or

but the American Press, the American Public, and the American Government. However, Lederer offers an alternate to catastrophy that is amazingly similar to President Kennedy's Peace Corps. The "Strategic Service Corps" that Lederer outlines 路 demands much more than the late President's Peace Corps. Lederer felt that if a program similar to his "Strategic Service Corps" were to be enacted , American prestige would skyrocket abroad. Pleas for more Peace Corps volunteers, by the underdeveloped nations have borne out Lederer's words.

Political Soapbox Editor's Note As a result of the YD-YR Mock Elections, The Telescope has allowed students to express their political views in the following column.

The possibility of Senator Barry Goldwater becoming President in 1964 is a very unpleasant thought. But there is one thing we could be thankful for if this does happen, that the year is not 1864.

In fact, there wouldn't have been much of a chance for a person of Goldwater's philosophy to have been elected that year . Senator Goldwater wouldn't have had too great of a chance of winning the vote of the southern states' rights that year, as he expects to do this year.

The election of Abraham Linc001 that year rather proves that if Senator Goldwater is the true spokesman for the Republican party, then the Republican party is no longer the party ofLinc001.

In order to win the war, Linc001 had to be the aggressor. He had to take a fum positive position on the principle of Federalism am sacraftce much to enforce it. If Senator Gddwater does not believe in using a states' nation& ~ard to desegregate a high school, he

surely would worry about using the states' militia, which then made up the great bulk of our army to put down a rebellion in the state.

Also during this time Senator Goldwater's theory "Send the marines," would not have worked at alL Only by diplomacy on the highest level were foreign countries kept from coming in to the war. We had to be careful not to provoke the French and English and we couldn't spare any marines to upset Maxim ill ian in Mexico.

In short, Senator Goldwater would have been as much out of date 100 years ago as he is today.

John Stuermer

Now that Palomar's political clubs are sponsoring mock elections, it is a good time to look at the platform of the nation's front-running Republican candidate, Senator Barry Goldwater. Limited space permits the mentioning of only a few of his bold stands.

Foreign Aid. Goldwater is for confining our aid to technical and military assistance to ''those nations that need it and are committed

Communism."

School Integration. He believes that it is "both wise and just for Negro children to attend the same schools as whites," but that under the Tenth Amendment this matter is left to the states.

NATO. Some people have mistakenly dubbed Goldwater an isolationist, and yet he continually advocates the closest relations with our Western ailies and full support of NATO. Poverty. Goldwater believes that those who want to work but cannot should be looked after by local agencies whenever possible. If local agencies cannot handle the problem, then the states should intervene. A last resort should be the Federal government.

If you are tired of American taxpayers' money being wasted on useless foreign-aid programs, if you believe that the Constitution is still of value today and not an outdated document written for an agrarian society, if you favor strengthening our ties with our Western allies, and if you would like to see the Federal government stop trying to wet-nurse its citizens from birth to death, 1 urge you to vote for Barry Goldwater.

FIRST DUAL MEET TODAY

Track Squad Handicapped

By Lack Of Personnel Palomar's track squad, seriously handicapped by a lack of personnel and depth in virtually every event, traveled to Riverside today for the first dual meet of the 1964 season.

Comet coach Joe Brennan, disappointed with a scant turnout of 30 athletes, remained pessimistic about success of this year's track campaign, but decid~d to hold his comments until after today's meet.

He revealed, however, that a lack of depth in field events and sprints would probably prove detrimental to the success of the team.

GOOD DISTANCE MEN

A strong point of the cindermen this year lies in th-e anticipated success of several talented distance men. Proven mile and two mile candidates are Steve Balderrama, Tony Gumbrell, Ted Hillman, Jesse Lomeli, and Sam Villa. Hopefuls for the 440 and half-mile are Bill Donahue, Peter Knoll, Gary Rinehart, and Tom Van Zandt.

According to Brennan, the hurdling trio of Gary Anderson, Greg Brown, and Leroy l!::vans should be a strong point in every meet. Brennan considers these boys the best in their specialty in the school's history. Brown, a county champ 1 from Ramona has been timed in 14.5 in the highs.

Rick Kurtz. Kurtz, a 6'1" high jumper, is also a broad jumper and hop, skip, and jump candidate. Other leading performers in the high and broad jump are Walt Laybourn and Dave Robertson.

Assigned sprinting chores for the Comets this year is Rich Lapham from San Dieguito.

Lapham¡ has been clocked in 10.3 for the century and 22.2 forthe220.

Rounding out the squad are weight men Dexter Winn and Frank Clibourne.

International Club Wins Tournament The International Club, captained by George Thomas, won interclub volleyball tournament Tuesday night in the dome in a close game with WRA. The final score was 15-13.

Tieing for 3rd place honors were Circle K and Newman Club.

"The purpose of the volleyball tournament was to promote coeducational activities on campus," stated WRA president Carolyn Danforth.

TROPHIES GIVEN

The first and second-place winners received trophies for their clubs_.

The scorekeeper, also a member of WRA, explained International Club's victory. " It would be fishy ir"WRA won, wouldn't it?"

and Bill Reed can duplicate or surpass their la st year's p e rformance for coach Rusty Myers this year, th e Comet ba s eball squad should go places in '64.

Vinland played third base for the Comets last year, while Reed played second. Due to their outstanding performances the Palomar nine placed second in league standings last year, one game behind Oceanside-Carlsbad College.

Much of the success of last year's team was attributed to the pair.

REED HIT 313

Vinland had a batting average of .280, while Reed batted a healthy .313.

Both players have joined the team as returning lettermen, and are expected to do even better this year.

"Vinland plays a good steady game of baseball all the time, both in the field and at bat," commented Coach Ru.s ty Myers.

Vinland will again play the third sack this year, hoping to better his fielding and batting average.

REED STEALS 20

Reed has many great assets, but perhaps his greatest is his speed. Last year he stole over 20 bases, and has gotten off to a flying start this year by already stealing three.

"Reed is always dangerous at the plate and on the bases," says Myers. "When he is up to bat there is always the threat he will beat out the little infield hit because of his speed."

Vinland graduated from Poway High School where he lettered in baseball and football. In football he lettered as a halfback.

VINLAND TO ATTEND REDLANDS

After graduating from Palomar, he plans to attend Redlands.

COMETS SCORE IN FIRST.

The Comets scored both their runs in the first. With two outs Bill Reed drew a walk and promptly stole second. He then went on to third when the pitcher committed an error, and scored when Mike Chase hit a single. Fred Reynoso followed Chase to the plate and slammed a double, enabling Chase to score.

The Comets never had another scoring opportunity, as they were put out in order in five of the remaining seven frames .

Mt. San Antonio's lone run came in the second when Mike Flammin hit a triple, and came home on a sacrifice.

THREE UP, THREE DOWN

Mt. San Antonio was also put out in order for five of the remaining seven innings, but in the ninth they came close to tying up the game. With one away Don Kritzer powered a single into center field, followed by Neil Tatem who flied out to left. The last man up to bat was Don Steele. Steele hit a fast grounder to the third baseman, who pulled the first baseman off base in his anxiety to throw the runner out. However Kritzer was nailed trying to go to third for the final out.

LOVERA STARTS

In the first game Dusty Lovera started the pitching duties, followed by Dennis Vanderhieden and Mike Cummings.

Mt. San Antonio started scoring right off the bat as they tallied four times in the top of the first. Three walks, three singles, and a double enabled Mt. San Antonio to score the runs.

In the second frame the aggressors were held scoreless, but in the third they scored four more times on two walks, a single, a double, and a triple.

In the fifth , two walks and a double pushed across another run for Mt. San Antonio, but then they were held scoreless until the eighth when they tallied their final two.

JOHNSON GOES ALL THE WAY

Dave Johnson went the full distance on the mound for Mt. San Antonio, giving up only two runs, three hits, and seven walks.

Carlsbad's 33-29 advantage quickly deteriorated as the Dons scored eight times before Carlsbad could find the hoop.

Dennis Le Masters started pitching chores for the Comets in the second game, and went all the way for the win. Besides giving up only one run, he allowed only two hits and one free pass.

Dick Kimisall pitched the whole game for Mt. San Antonio, giving up two hits, and walking none.
