Johnson Wins Mock Elections Lodge And Goldwater Place President Lyndon B. Johnson won the Mock Elections held last week by a 60% margin over his nearest rivals, Senator Barry Goldwater and Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge. Of the 265 students participating in the elections, 154 voted for Mr. Johnson while Goldwater and Lodge received 42 votes each. Nine other candidates divided the remaining 20 votes. Although Goldwater was the official Republican nominee on campus. Lodge received as many votes; this in spite of the fact that there was no space for write-ins on the ballot and there was no organized "draft Lodge" movement for this election. Only 15% of the eligible students voted in the election last Wednesday and Thursday. All full-time students at Palomar were eligible to register. Registration was possible at all three elections, and all that was required was that the student show his ASB card, sign his name and indicate the party of his choice. The polls, which were situated in front of the Student Union, were manned by members of the Young Republicans and Young Democrats, cosponsors of the Mock Elections. Students should have voted between the hours of 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. simply by showing their AS B cards or signing the paper provided. Tabulation of the votes was by members of the two political clubs. Nominations for the Primary Ballot were held on February 13 and 14. The ballots provided a choice between Republican and Democrat candidates and space was provided for writeins. To be placed on the Primary ballot a candidate needed 5% of the total votes cast for his party. Two hundred thirty-four students voted in the first election and nominated the following for the Primary ballot: Barry Goldwater, Richard Nixon, Governor George Romney, Henry Cabot Lodge, President Johnson and Governor George C. Wallace. On February 26 and 27 the Primary Elections were held. Two hundred fourteen students were _given ballots for the party of their choice and nominated Senator Goldwate r to run for the Republican party on campus, and Mr. Johnson for the Democrats. Organizations were formed to support the two top contenders for the Presidency of the United States. Publicity consisted mainly of posters, letters to the editors and
verbal campaigning among the students. Both organizations requested th¡e band, led by Burrill G. Monk performing in front of the polls to create more interest in the voting. One of the candidates was hung in effigy above the polling place. The purpose of the Mock Elections, according to the two clubs, was to help develop a sense of political awareness among the students, to acquaint them with the political ideas and personalities that would make news in the coming national election, and to pro- I vide an indication of who the students would support.

Pickets Draw Praise From Instructors "Hello my fellow picketers," was the opening comment by John Rousselot, Western Director of the John Birch Society. The comment was directed to three student picketers seated in the first row. "I felt that I was being used as a point of ridicule. It didn 't bother me beyond the momentary embarrassment of being pointed out. But I was glad to be there, standing up for what I believe, or sitting as the case may be," commented Sharon Cramer, one of the student picketers. COMPOSURE KEPT When asked what he thought of the pickets, Richard F . Norlin, English Instructor, replied, "The picketing, as it was done, was not objectionable, and the students seemed to be _q uite reserved. I hope that more controversial speakers will appear on our campus. In the future I hope there will be a better speaking area supplied with more seating capacity. The questioning could be handled better by having a panel with a list of pertinent questions. In my opinion this speaker pointed out the way the John Birch Society thinks and acts." Dr. John D. Shettler, Assistant Superintendent stated that "T he pickets were a typical American process of students expressing their feelings on a controversial subject. I have prided myself on a knowledge of history, and I have never realized that Thomas Jefferson was a conservative as Rousselot stated. After all Jefferson wrote a document declaring 13 colonies independent from the (Continued on page 2)
John Rousselot, Western Director of the John Birch Society spoke to a capacity audience in G2 and G3 last Friday. Rousselot seemed undisturbed by the pickets that demonstrated prior to his speech. Stopping to shake the hands and introduce himself to the picketors, Rousselot made it clear that he did not object to their opinion. PRESS DISTORTION "We (the John Birch Society) do not claim that all of our opponents are communists," said Rousselot. He claimed that statements to the contrary attributed to the Society were the result of a deliberate distortion by the various communication facilities of the United States. Rousselot, a former congressman from the Los Angeles Area 22 district, served on the House Foreign Relations and Education Committees. The blue-eyed Rousselot commented that entrance into the Society requires
By FRANK ORLANDO men of "good will , good conscience, and strong religious orientation. Being Anti-Communist is not sufficient." He stated that general aims of the Society are : to combat the evil forces in the country, to try to pull the nation out of a dangerous trend toward collectivism, and to attempt to restore the morality of our western civilization. SOCIETY NOT UNDERSTOOD "Our members work for less government and outlining the threats to our western civilization, "the former congressman stated. Rousselot claimed that "a lack of understanding," by the general public is responsible for the general unpopularity of the organization. The defeat of the international Communist movement overshadows every issue before the American people," Rousselot said. He listed ten specific actions that the Birch Society is taking to defeat communism. The first goal is "the dissemination of books, leaflets, and pamph-
Ticket Sale Extended for Hoot; Conference Delegates Selected Ticket sales for the Area I Hoot have been very slow, according to Pat Jernigan, head of the ticket sales committee. Because of slow sales, the final deadline for sales has been extended into March. The council has decided to purchase tickets for all students working as parking attendants at the Hoot. A table for the sales will be set up in the Student Union to promote the sale of tickets. GOVERNMENT CONFERENCE . Last Saturday night Karen Griffith, Ed Gurren , and Randall Keith reprc>sented Palomar on the T.V. Channel 8 Sundown Show. Keith and Gurren sang Black Is The Color Of My True Loves Hair. The Hoot Queen was selected at this time. I The five delegates from council to attend the state government conference are: Steve Hinthorne, ASB president, Phil Giambrone, ASB vice president, Pat Jernigan, ASB treasurer,
Darlene Butterworth, secretary, and Bob Mullins, sophomore class president. The delegates were chosen by secret ballot in the last council meeting. "PROJECT AMIGOS" Phil Giambrone asked for ASB approval on "Project Amigos." Students from the campus will go into Mexico on holidays and weekends to teach and help underprivileged families in the area. Students will take their own water, food, and equipment. There are no sleeping facilities there, and students must make their own arrangements if they wish to work more than one day. Coming assemblies include the Mt. Sac Men's Glee Club, which will appear May 8, and the PJC band and chorus, which will perform, tentatively, on May22.
lets pertaining to Americanism." Secondly, "to increase publicity for the John Birch Society." This will in Rousselot's opinion, clear up the "distortion", and "misunderstandings" that the people of the nation are subjected to. ENLARGE NEWS COVERAGE Thirdly, enlarging the news of vital issues through the mass media. Fourth, to use the "weapon" of letter writing. Rousselot did not elaborate. Fifth, to organize petition committees. Sixth, to expose pro-Communist sympathizers. Again Rousselot did not elaborate. Seventh, to make it difficult for pro-communist speakers to indoctrinate "uninformed" audiences. Eighth, making "patriotic" speaker available. Ninth to encourage and give hope to anti-Communist refugees. The final point Rousselot quoted was a political education of the public informing them of the platforms of all of the political parties.

How 11 Right is John Rousselot?
1
lt s Circus Time Again By KENN CUTTER
Nineteen Sixty-Four, what a wonderful year, And it's only two weeks old. The Leap Year spirit is bringing out the best in the American female; there is plenty of activity on the world scenewar games everywhere-while on the home front wholesale committee investigations of all our old favorites are in vogue; the Russians are happier and healthier with tons of free wheat to spare; and, of course, 1964 is an election year. Hip, hip, hooray. The circus is coming to town. ELECTION FEVER
Election year fever couldn't be more evident anywhere than here at the local alma mater. After the display that was put on last Wednesday who has any doubts? Another one like it will certainly gain much " national recognition" in Children's Digest. Therefore, considering all the enthusiastic hoopla and the mudslinging, not to mention that cute little lynching, it is my feeling that the upcoming Presidential Election will be decided right here at PJC with the YDs and the YRs fighting it out, idiotic poster for idiotic poster, right down to the last second. Frittz Schnipple, however, disagrees with me. He feels that the election will still be decided by the adult electorate of this nation. CANDIDATES BICKER
Last week the New Hampshire Primary started all the' machinery in motion. So now as the contestants are off and running the race begins to take shape: Sen. Barry Goldwater is as outspoken as ever, throwing political tact to the wind in favor of expressing his beliefs, all ofthem, bluntly; Gov. Nelson Rockefeller continues to say nothing, as usual, as he challenges all comers to "face the issues"; Henry Cabot Lodge has been trying to remain faithful to his employer; Richard M. Nixon (with dry eyes) is not running but he will accept a draft to back up .anybody; capable men like Scranton and Romney lack support; LBJ and RFK are bickering over who's who where. VIEW OBJECTIVELY
I think what Frittz advocates is that young people should be responsible enough to view objectively all sides ·of political questions; that they should study all candidates and issues meticulously; that they should be adult enough to respect the rights of even those of the radical extremes; that they should be particularly cautious of falling prey to those back coun!ry, "you all are my kind of people," low-brow politicians who present only those appealing platform planks; and that they should become their own political consultants. When these goals are realized, politics, the blood of our nation, will become the respected profession that it should be, an honorable fluid of society. If young people do not aspire to these goals, if they allow themselves to be led, to be duped into believing that because they are of a certain age the voting .priv. ilege should be theirs we may as well give this country back to the Injuns, or the cowboys, or to whoever started the spontaneous lynching.
KATHY HE DICKE SAYS:
Last Friday the Student Body was entertained by the verbal antics of John Rousselot, Western Director of the John Birch Society. I use the word entertained, because I'm not sure whether Rousselot appeared on campus as a political speaker, or as a home-spun Lenny Bruce. Rousselot drew chuckles and laughter from his audience when he questioned an English instructor's ability to read the dictionary, and insulted the intelligence of the entire audience with his meaningless generalities. Those frightened and bewildered pickets who found themselves the center of attention prior to Rousselot's arrival, were the target of verbal barbs thrown by him throughout his lecture. The pickets who were honored by having their hand shook by the great man would be well advised to check their backs for daggers. FLAT STATEMENT
Rousselot made the flat statement that the Birch Society does not claim all of their opponents are communists. I feel safe therefore, in declaring myself an opponent of the John Birch Society. I, like the Society am also an opponent of the communists. I do not like the way communists spread their malicious lies through leaflets, pamphlets, and books. Nor do I like their editorializ-
DROPPED SIGNS
Half way through the picketing a couple of people threw down their signs and walked off. Perhaps these people had decided that they were picketing for selfish glory or maybe they decided that it really wasn't their ·own decision and they really didn't want to be picketing anyway. How many decided picket because the idea sounded "neat."
fame, honor, and pleasure. Although the picketing of John Rousselof was done in moderate "good taste," I question myself as to why the Young Republicans and Democrats invited him to speak? AROUSE INTEREST?
One member of the YD's said, "We are picketing the policies for which he represents and also his presence on the campus." If they were against his presence on the campus I again ask why did they invite him to speak? Was it purely to arouse interest? Forget it, no one gets aroused anymore. HOOT ECHO
MOCK ELECTIONS . Yes , that's a good one. That certainly should have aroused a lot of people, but it didn't. HOOT, HOOT, HOOT. That used to be a very effective one. Years ago people got aroused all the time on HOOT, HOOT, HOOT. The HOOT echo can still be heard, SELFISH GOALS but that's only because it's the It's a shame that we, at times, thing to do. Do you think we've lose our honesty, our searchturned apathetic? Apathy is ing curiosity, our drive of the such a BAD word.

This story is related to the reader by a fifteen year old boy, Josh Cydney. Essentially he is telling the escapades that one becomes involved in when one has a movie star for a mother. Instead of referring to the characters in
the book as a select society, calling them a menagerie mob would be a great deal more appropriate. OFFBEAT WRITER
"There's Merwin who resembles some kind of tropical bird, a cockatoo or a cockateel, l'm not sure which. He's only five foot eight and very thin and fragile, he's a terrific dresser, sort of dresses in Fred Astaire style. Everything has an English-Italian look and he wears a lot of ascots and ties and such. He's really effeminate, but somehow it doesn't bother people because he is more of an observer than a commentator." Professionally speaking Merwin is an 'OFFBEAT" writer. There is Jay Savage, a little chubby guy who always wears all the wrong clothes at all the wrong times. As Rita Cydneys' agent he never managed to get her the part, however anyone would consider giving him an "A" for effort. "He had this terrible complex about people questioning him about changing his name." This same theory was advocated by J . D. Salinger consequently, since immitation is the greatest form of flattery , Jim Kirkwood has bestowed J. D. Salinger a great compliment when he wrote this book.

JUDGE VALUES
Dr.Schettler went on to say, "The conduct of the students was excellent. They acted and conducted themselves like individual s seeking factual information about the John Birch Society. College students should have an opportunity to listen to a speaker from all controversial organizations, for only through listening to a speaker can one see, and judge the true values of a controversial organization." There was only one incident occurring to mar the entire event. This occurred when a member of the student picketers was kicked in the shins by an elderly lady who commented, "You're for the United Nations."

I cannot stand the way Communists slander their opponents under the pretense of exposing immorality. I abhor the suppression of any speaker with conflicting ideas. I am shocked at the disregard Communists have for the people they govern (in that they consider their subjects to be ignorant and uninformed sheep) I am also shocked in learning the "Communist" practice of giving aid to malcontents that have been ejected from their homeland. Last of all, I despair at the "political education" that is in reality brainwashing, that the Russian people are subjected to. These are some of the reasons I am an opponent of the international Communist movement ... and most of the reasons why I am an opponent of the John Birch Society.

Once upon a time a psychiatrist had twin sons age eight. One was an incurable optimist and the other an incurable pessimist. Their father became alarmed and decided to try an experiment. Christmas Eve he filled the pessimist's room with everything a boy could wish for: and filled the optimist's room with horse manure. Early the next morning he went to observe their reactions. The pessimist sat among the toys, books, clothes, sporting goods-just sat there- eyeing the presents suspiciously, trying to figure out what the catch was. His father sighed and walked toward the other boy's room. When he peeked in the door he saw him standing waist high in the middle of all the manure, shoveling it up in the air over his shoulder and laughing. "Son, the father said, "What is the matter with you, what are you so happy about?" The boy turned, still laughing and replied, "With all this horse manuTe, THERE MUST BE A By JIM KIRKWOOD
I wonder how many people on the picket line for John Rousselot decided to picket on the grounds of what their emotions told them, instead of what their reasoning should have told them? How many student's decision to picket was made by someone else? We all esteem as precious, the right to think for ourselves. But as things become more complex we permit more and more of our thinking t{) be done for us by others.

Rousselot emphasized "We do not intend to become a political party." The Society's western director claimed that the membership of the Society is made up of "50 percent Republicans and 50 percent Democrats." Rousselot stated that the Birch movement is gaining ground. "In California we have tripled the membership of the society in the last year." "We are waking up Americans.

Convention March 6, 7, 8 By ELIZABETH EMMOTT
"It's not just P.E. majors that face the problem of a 'Masculine label'. Any professional women in a man's field must take on this burden. She must have the character to overcome this problem," comments Carolyn Danforth, WRA delegate to the PSRARFCW Convention, held March 6, 7 and 8 at Asilomar, Pacific Grove. The stereotype of the P.E. major was a topic discussed at the conference and was the tlieme of a talk by Dr. Leona Hobrook, one of the three speakers. Dr. Hobrook is head of the P.E. Department at Brigham Young University. Her speech was "the best I've ever heard on the subject," according to Carolyn Brady, delegate. PJC SENDS FOUR DELEGATES
Attending the convention were Carol Howell, Monica Kadja, Ethel Calderwood, advisor, and Donna Reiser, advisor. Delegates from California, Arizona, Nevada, and Hawaii were present. During discussion groups and casual conversations, the Palomar representatives met many girls in· terested in WRA. "One of the most valuable aspects of the convention was getting ideas from girls at four year colleges and learning what all the dif· ferent schools are like," commented Carolyn Brady. Tommi Angell, participant in the Olympics and Pan American Games, and Dr. Jessica Nixon from San Jose State were the other speakers. Miss Angell spoke on her experiences in competitive sports. Dr. Dixon's topic, "It's Child's Play," related childhood physical education to adult life. CO-EDS ACTIVE DURING SEMESTER
Palomar co-eds have been active during . spring semester with tennis, hockey and bad· mfnton. The interscholastic tennis team remains undefeated with wins over Orange Coast 4-1 and Compton J.C. 5-0. Members of this successful team are Bonnie
Mcintyre, 1st singles, Carol Yu· den, 2nd singles, and Karen Peterson, 3rd singles. Coach Donna Reiser rates Bonnie as the outstanding player and Karen as the most improved. In doubles, Carolyn Brady and Bobbi Wheatly made up the first team and Bonnie Bekhardt and Mrs. Anthony are the sec·ond team. Only Bonnie and Bob· bi have played for Palomar before. HOCKEY SEASON CLOSES
The girls hockey team has not fared as well as the tennis team losing their first game, Febru: ary 26, to Orange Coast Junior College, 3-0. The team consists of Jackie Henderson, Tony Robinson, Linda Mogle, Linda Ha· gon, Monica Kadja, JanJohnson, JoAnn Kelly, Paula App-le, Kathrine Keithely, Sherry Smith, Nancy Sass, Dolly Villallobas and Michele McCarthy. A unique hockey game was played last Wednesday when the scheduled match with Long Beach was cancelled. Miss Ethel Calderwood, hockey coach, drummed up a game be· tween the varsity and other Palomar co-eds and alumnae. An injury to Nancy Saas, one of the strongest players on the interscholastic team, weakened them and led to a 7·3 loss. Nancy was forced to leave the game with a knocked out tooth. EL CAMINO TOURNAMENT
The hockey season draws to a close with the El Camino double-elimination tournament this week. Yesterday Palomar played Mount San Antonio there. The play-offs of the tournament will be held tomorrow. The WRA badminton team won a decisive victory over Grossmont Junior College Feb· ruary 27, winning all matches. They will meet their next opponent in an away tournament, held today or Thursday. The badminton players are Shereen Smith and Glenna Bradley, singles, Jan Johnson and Toni Robinson, doubles, and Carol Howell and Elizabeth Von Gausig, doubles.
The Palomar Comet tracksters, still bothered by an acute lack-of-personnel problem, battled their way to a decisive victory last Tuesday in a three-way meet. The Comets, competing on home ground for the first time this season, ran over Imperial Valley and Grossmont in the non-league encounter, 99%Brown and Randy Lamar won 38%-84%. Palomar registered 10 firsts in coasting to the easy decision as two Comets posted double victories. Rich Lapham, repeating his performance of the two previous meets, p icked up wins in the 100 and 220 yard sprints. Lapham was clocked in 103 in the hundred, three-tenths of a second off his season's best. However, the Comet speedster came back in the midst of a three way tie for first to capture the 220 in a fine 22.3 showing. ANDERSON NEARLY BREAKS RECORD
Gary Anderson, another repeater in the two victory category, nearly broke a school record as he picked up his first win in the 120 high hurdles. Anderson's time (15.6), was only one-tenth of a second off Mike Peters' existing standard. The ace hurdler's second victory came in the 330 yard intermediate hurdles. This time (406) four seconds under his previous best, established a new . Palomar record. Other winners for the Comets were Dan Robinson in the triple jump (40'.2"), Walt Laybourn in the high jump (40' - 2"), Dexter Winn in the shot put (43' - ¥2''), Fred Freidland in the pole vault (11'), and the 440 and mile relay squads.

In the second the Comets added three more to their tally, this time on doubles by Jerry Vinland , Bill Reed, and Mike Chase. SCORE TWO IN FOURTH
In the third the Comets were turned away empty-handed , but in the fourth they scored two times on a single by Mike Chase and three walks. Palomar rounded out their scoring in the sixth and seventh frames. In the sixth the Comets pushed across only one. but it was a big one as Chase slammed a triple for his third hit of the game and came home on a sacrifice by Fred Reynoso. The seventh inning was the Comets' biggest as they tallied five times on singles by Dick Castro, Chase, a double by Reed, and a triple by Reynoso. Bob Alvarado, the Arab hurler, walked two in that inning to help the Comet cause. COMETSLOSESECONDGAME

Tennis Team Upsets AV
The second contest didn't go as well for Palomar, as they could put together only four hits, and couldn't score any runs. Dan Macias pitched for Imperial Valley and did a fine job striking out seven and walking only one for the shut-out. The Comets had a scoring opportunity in the first inning when Reed slammed a triple with two away, but the following batter flied out to end the inning. The Comets held Imperial Valley the first two innings before they scored two in the fourth. Singles by the first two batters and an error was all the Arabs needed to break the scoreless tie.
The Palomar racquet squad upset a strong Antelope Valley team last Saturday in the Comets' first league match. David Vaughan continued to play excellent ball as he won both his singles and doubles matches. Since some of the Comet tennis men were missing due to previous engagements, Ken Renick was moved up to the number one doubles spot, playing with Vaughan.
In the fourth the Arabs were scoreless, but in the fifth they brought home five to round out their scoring. Two doubles, two singles, and two errors scored the Arabs' last five tallies. In the last two frames of the game Imperial Valley was shut out, but the damage was already done. Dusty Lovera started the game for Palomar, being replaced by Dennis Vanderheiden in the sixth.
JOE BRENNAN IMPRESSED
Coach Joe Brennan was "pretty well impressed" with the over-all showing of his team. However, he revealed that he was "disappointed with the efforts of the boys in the middle and longer distances." The best the Comets could muster in these events were Donahue's 3rd in the 440, Lipps' second in the 880, and two third-place finishes by Mike Gumbrell in the mile and two-mile.
