Summer Work Seekers Sought According to the Student Personnel office, there are jobs available at this time. With the advent of Spring more calls for part-time jobs suitable for students are expected . The jobs cover various occupations from baby sitting to manual labor. "We suggest that you reaffirm your application in the Student Personnel Office, if you are still desirou s of work," stated Mrs. Norrine G. Gearheart, Counseling Secretary. Mrs. Gearheart gets several calls each da y from people wishing to hire college students. All ap plications are kept in a file for quick reference, but about half the students that now have jobs have not come in to take their application out of the file ; this is not only a burden on the reference system, but it may hinder the hiring of an individual well suited for work.

Campus Beautification Proiects Campus art's newest addition is a large modern relief located in the patio behind the business office. The modern relief has a central sun figure flanked by small modern clay forms. The sun and the surrounding figures are made of unglazed , fired clay. All the pieces are mounted on steel reinforcing rod in a frame of rough redwood. The sun was made in four separate pieces, and colored by crushed glass which fused to the clay during the firing process. The modern relief was constructed by two students enrolled in John E. Barlow's Special Projects Course. These students, Tonia Gale and Barbara Gross; spent 50 hours in constructing the relief said afterwards, "It was a lot of fun making it." "THE DRUNKEN SUN"

Father Valentine Heley is the Rector of San Luis Rey College and the Chairman of the School's History Department. Jeremy Brett who does a good Harold E. Cheyney, biology instructor and advisor for the Newman Club, commented that "So much has been written about the play, "The Deputy", that I am hoping Father Valentine will present the students with a clarified view about it. " DRAMA IN VERSE

Rolf Hochhuth, the author, was about 12 when he left Europe and the ravages of the Second World War. " The Deputy" is "The famous drama in ve rse ... examines in some detail the relations between the Vatican and the Third Reich during the Second World War," states The New Yorker magazine's drama critic. "The play has been abbreviated from five to two acts but most of its important parts are still included . The cast is headed by

Hochhuth seems to be of the opinion that Pope Pius XII didn't help the Jewish during their period of suffering and death as much as he could have if he had wanted to. When the play opened in New York it was picketed by Catholics, Jews, and Nazis at the same time although the picketers were not picketing as a unified group protest. March 22 the Newman Club held a retreat at St. Charles' Priory, Bennet Hill in Oceanside. 50 people attended it and about 17 of them were Palomar stude,nts. One student stated that the slides were shown were most interesting.

Speech Team To Compe~e In Oklahoma This week seven members of the speech and debate squad are in Wilberton, Oklahoma, attending the National Phi Ro Pi speech champ ionships. The squad left last Saturday afternoon for the tournament which begins Wednesday and will last until late Saturday. The team is expected back sometime next Monday. The seven members, Cheryl Plank, Becky Baker, Leo Burns, Pat Ford , Nick Kremer, Ran dy Young and J. C. Wesley, will be competi ng in the same events they won awards in at the State Championships in Baker sfield the weekend before Easter vacation. At the State Tournament Plank won second in women's original oratory and fourth in women's oral interpretation of literature, while getting an excellent certificate in men's debate with Wesley. Young won a third in extemporaneous speaking and received a certificate in original oratory. Kremer also won an excellent award in oratory. Wesley, besides winning an award in debate with Plank, also get a fourth place in extemporaneous speaking. With these awards from the State tournament and a year's work behind them the squad carries Palomar's hopes at the National Championships. We will be one of the only Califor. nia Junior Colleges represented at the tournament according to Director of Forensics Ron Tabor. There will probably be about a half a dozen California schools including both the Cerritos and San Bernardino squads which finished first and second in sweepstakes points at the State tournament.

The College Hoot was a well planned , successful program. This seems to be the confirmed opinion of those who attended the Area I hootenanny on March 20-21, in San Diego. Of an expected 8,000 people, an estimated 3 to 4,000 were in attendance. This lag of participation can be accounted for in part by the bad weather Friday night. The first half of the program feature d the amateur singers representing each of the 8 Area I colleges. The second half featured professional gro u ps, "The Wayfarers" and "The Womenfolk". From the eight candid ates, Niki Preston of San Diego Mesa Coll ege was chose n as Hoot queen. The judgi ngs took place on the Frank Herman Sund own show.
