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.

About 7 percent of the enrollment achieved the honor roll which requires a B grade average and a minimum of 44 grade points. "The seven percent figure for

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.
