Ideals Needed States Rust

Are present religious or· ganizations geared to provide the harmony necessary for a warless world? This was the question answered by Dr. Wil· liam C. Rust, president of California Western University, in last Friday's Humanities Lecture.

Dr. Rust was the last lecturer scheduled for this year, rounding out the discussion of the topic "A Warless World" with his views on "The Place of Religion in a Warless World".

SOMETHING OF VALUE

"We need to find ," Dr. Rust explained, "something in our society of value without first being taught what want is by the ravages of war."

"We do not need a world religion," Dr. Rust said emphatically, "We need to learn the values, and practice the values of our present religions." He described different religions as not being better or worse than one another. The individual should seek a religion that is meaningful and then practice its precepts.

In closing Dr. Rust said, "A warless world must be built in the family at horne , not at school, at college or in the community." "The order of development for a world without war will be from the family to the community, to the country, to the world.

Shown above are members as they plan the Intramural Speech Tournament. The contest is scheduled May 14, in B-2. Left to right are: Cheryl Plank, J . C. Wesley, Becky Baker, standing: Nick Kramer, Pat Ford and Leo Burns.

ASB Council Responsible For Apathy Says Giambrone

By Phil Giambrone, ASB Council Vice President

How can the students be held responsible for the apathy shown at Palomar College? It is primarily the responsibility of those elected to represent the students, the ASB Council, who are to instigate school spirit and interest in campus activities. It is they who are directly responsible to the students. It is NOT the students' responsibility to bring enthusiasm to the council members so that they can carry out their jobs.

Having served under two presidents at PJC, I have witnessed both Larry Clark and Steve Hinthorne, the past and present ASB presidents, go out to find council members so that a quorum could be obtained ! Can we, therefore, as members of council be justified in placing the blame upon anyone else?

Palomar, indeed, did have school spirit for the first two or three months of the school year. Why? Because there were activitied directed to the interest of the students. Accepting part of the blame, what activities have the students had in the past two months?

Palomar has a terrific band and chorus; why not utilize them for assemblies?

I not only encourage students to run for ASB offices in the corning elections, but to run, not because they feel the school needs them to fill an unopposed office, but because they want to serve their school and to help Palomar obtain the school spirit it once had.

In conclusion, we may not at first achieve school spirit, eliminate the apathy that is so prevalent, nor at once will there be an overflow of students running for ASB offices, but let us begin now.

As a Chinese proverb states, it is the striving for rather than the attainment of a goal that constitutes the essence oflife.

The blazers, which were purchased from a company dealing exclusively in clothing supplies for schools. are a navY-blue wool and were purchased at a cost of twenty dollars each. Bob Mullins, freshman class president, headed the committee to investigate the blazers issue, and he reported the final action to council at the meeting held last Wednesday, April29.

Speech Tourney Slated; Student Body Competes

OBTAIN ANNOUNCEMENT

" Extremism can lead a Nation to utter destruction," stated Dr. Kenneth W. Grisingher, Political Science Instructor. On May 15 at 10:00 a.m. in the Student Union Dr. Grisingher will present his views on this subject in a speech entitled, "The Dangers Of Extremism."

Dr. Grisingher has a firm background in the science of politics. His PhD, in Political Science, was obtained at the Claremont Graduate School in

CRUSADES

He led off by stating that at the present time religions are practiced for themselves alone, which tends to cause more wars, (of the crusade type) than they stop. Rust believes that religious ideals and not religion itself is what is needed for the development of a truly warless world.

Describing the United States, Dr. Rust commented, "Though we have the best standard of living in the world, and no one here is in real want, one out of ten people in this country need psychiatric care and four out of ten are fed up with life and are 'scared of living and afraid of dying'. " He stated that our problem is that we know the mechanics of life (from science) but that we don't know the MEANING of life. Dr. Rust even said, "Some people think of religion as insurance to make sure they go to heaven, IF, there is an after life; of which most are not sure."

Grisingher Sees Civil Rights As Test; Asks Students To Look At Modern Politics

The council meeting, normally scheduled for Monday at 11:00, was postponed until Wednesday because the council president, Steve Hinthorne, could not get the necessary quorum. A quorum requires ten voting members of council to be present.

Telescope news stands were

discussed by council at which time Glenn McGeehee, committee chairman and Circle K representative, made a report to the members. News stands are available from a company in Hollywood. They are wire racks approximately 2%' high, and they will cost the ASB $2.55 apiece if six or more are purchased. McGeehee will present more information at the next session.

STRAW VOTE

Co.uncil took a straw vote at the last meeting to determine whether the college should have a spring formal or not. The majority voted "no" with only two members in favor. The formal was again discussed at thi meeting. Council decided that the idea should be more fully discussed with the student body.

A committee was appointed to look into the feasibility of having a formal dance at this late date. Phil Giambrone, ASB vicepresident, was appointed to chair the committee, and members are Diane Lichtenberger, Bob Mullins, and Cecilia Vargas.

Materialistic Ideals Necessary 1 For Every Man s Existence

By YVONNE SCHNEPH

By Kenn Cutter

Spring is attempting to come to Palomar, if indeed it can be said that Spring ever really comes to this part of Southern California. Many people seem to think that Spring is a particular season; rather, it is a kind of feeling, a casual mood, which is conducive to great poetry (love sonnets), great inventions (love innovations), and· _g reat sociological advances (love). Most of all, Spring is beauty. Since Frittz and I have too often been accused of pessimism, sarcasm, cynicism, and passivism (among other things), and since we are not authoritarian enough to deliver the overworked birds, bees, and caterpillars lecture, we would like to present a simple springtime offering on the picturesque beauty of this campus. Yes, we know its hard to believe, but bear through.

IT

The first object of visual attention here at Palomar is, of course, the "dome." One can't help but be immediately overwhelmed by this ·massive geometric something. Frittz sometimes wonders if it isn't just a status symbol of a sort. After all, even in this modern era you just don't find "domes" on every streetcorner. I wasn't sure if it had any real aesthetic value until I did some research. One person I came in contact with, a gentleman named Brennan, believes the "dome" is one of the most beautiful structures ever ere.cted. It seems that the Palomar basketball team over the years has been virtually indestructible when playing on the hardwood court therewithin. After psychiatric treatment opposing teams have resulted to spending their time thinking up AngloSaxon idioms to describe Palomar's colossus, which on a very bright day (when you stand on your head) looks a little like a Burt Lancaster smile, with braces.

IVY COVERED WALLS

While the. real buildings here aren't Gothic, or Colonial, or WPA - like so many other institutions of nigher learning across the country - there is much to be said regarding their utility and beauty, all of which escapes me at the moment. However, there are very few steps to climb on campus, and there are no hallowed halls of learning in which one might become hopelessly lost.

There is, most assuredly, a type of growth on the east end of the Science Building which resembles ivy, giving that structure a kind of academic, button-down texture and distinctiveness.

GREEN, GREEN

One of the most inspiring assets of PJC is that there is an abundance of grass - the front lawn. Most of it has recovered quite well from the last perforation and fertilization purge, which was necessary , and now the grass is becoming very thick and luxurious. Someday, if some of the students will quit laughing at them, there will be many great shade trees to add dignity to the campus. It is too bad, though, that progress is destroying the most beautiful raw wasteland I have ever seen ~ the Western Gobi which formerly flourished between the Science and Business buildings. Ah, Wilderness!

OLDTOWN

Frittz's favorite area on campus is that condemned section at the outer reaches west of the Administration Building. Although rather desolate, this area - Frittz refers to it affectionately as "Old Town" - is the ultimate rustic enchantment that is Palomar. Mr. Schnipple relates that being down there in Old Town makes one realize what this lovely little valley must have been like many years ago when the forefathers came west digging for gold, or turnips, or whatever. He wishes it could all be preserved, but there's progress to be made and, besides, the Orkin man has already come out. He took one look at Old Town and started crying. And Frittz cried too.

KATHY HEDICKE SAYS:

Mistakes, Confusion Leave Allin Delusion Last week's Telescope (April stated that commencement exercises will be held June 30.

This is the wrong date.

The culprit, who made this error, has been put on the stocks in front oftheJournalism Building. He will be on public display from 9-4. Any student may come, at his own discretion, to jeer, ridicule, or laugh at him. If this does not satisfy your revenge, you may picket at the risk of having your shins kicked.

CONFUSED

We are sure many people have embarrassingly confused the dates and times of very important events and occasions. Confusion can easily be accomplished on a newspaper, since the process of putting out a

paper must go through so many channels.

One piece of copy, after being checked by the original writer, first goes to the editor for his approval, and then to the copy readers for a double check, and lastly to the printers, where it is again checked by several proof readers.

ONLY A MISTAKE

Actually we are luckY it was 'only' a mistaken date. Many times, entire sentences, paragraphs, and sometimes even complete stories are accidently dropped all together. So, the actual date for commencement is JUNE 13.

EditoN Note: Commencement exercises will be held June 13, not June 30, as was stated

in last week's issue.

The Telescope is the official publication of the Associated Students of Palomar

College, San Marcos, California. Telephones: 744-1150 (Escondido area) and 727·7529 (Vista area). The paper is produced by students and published Mondays during the school year.

In today's world, man is too busy to read or think. He hasn't the time to spend several hours a day reading great pieces or merely tbinking about, his place in life or society, or about anything that interests him. His life is crowded with one main thought - materialistic values.

Why does man put materialism above idealism?

Unfortunately, materialistic items are necessary. Man is an animal and must eat to live.

He must spend so much of his life earning a . living for himself and his family that he doesn't have the opportunity to THINK or contemplate life. This is truly an unfortunate · situation.

And, many men who are caught with a certain random thought or inspiration lose them because they haven't the time, energy, or interest to pursue them any further. Or, perhaps they haven't the nerve or ability to express them.

I have established that materialism crowds out ideals because materialistic items are necessary for existence, but how many of the men who have attained materialistic satisfac-

tion to the point where they have extra time and can afford to think? I don't believe there are many. When a man reaches this point other mattei;s occupy his thoughts. He is caught up in society and business with little thought to true thinking. His world is one in which materialism is prominent. A parallel may be drawn here. As soon as a man obtains enough money to be considered wealthy he purchases a large house, which usually includes a library. He buys books to fill the shelves, but what happens to these books? Are they ever read or are they merely another ornament for the maid to dust on her daily dusting trip? In other words, a man in a position to think, doesn't. He does not take advantage of his opportunity. While the man who would truly love to think, read, and form philosophies must be burdened with making a living for his existence.

This discussion only touches the surface of an existing situation. It has been recognized, but every person has to make a choice or decide for himself his views and actions on the matter.

"There would be meat that had tumbled out on the floor, in the dirt and sawdust, where the workers had tramped and spit uncountable billions of consumption germs. There would be meat stored in giant piles in rooms; and the water from leakY roofs would drip over it, and thousands of rats would race on it. It was too dark to see well in these storage places, but a man could run his hand over these piles of meat and sweep off handfuls of dried dung of rats.

PUBLIC AROUSED

This is one of the gruesome scenes from the novel by Upton Sinclair: THE JUNGLE. Sinclair bluntly and daringly revealed the impoverished, diseased, and despairing conditions of the Chicago stockYards and factory life of 1904. His book, published in 1906, was responsible for instigating an investigation of the meatpacking industry by the U.S. government. The American public was so aroused by this shocking novel that the Pure Food and Drug Act was one of the eventual outcomes of their indignation.

SLAV IMMIGRANT

The story is of a Slav immigrant who came to America with his family, hoping to find a comfortable existence.

In a struggle for survival his wife is forced to work in a packing plant and the hard work causes her death in childbirth. The old men in the family prove useless among the young and able bodied, and so are left to starve. The women are - forced to turn to prostitution to live. The infant son is drowned in one of the stinking green pools of water around his wretched shack.

HOPE IN SOCIALISM

The novel is filled with quiet, unceasing desperation. The filth, the stench, the cruelty of life in the Chicago stockYards is realistically portrayed. The Slav, after losing his home, family, and reason to live, attends a Socialist rally and the book ends with his finding hope through Socialism.

STUDENT COMMENTARY

Medicine And Surgery Emerge From Twilight Zone Of Magic

By R. E. Hallet It may be said with some truth that medicine

and surgery have emerged from the twilight zone of incantation and magic in the past century into that of a science, although every step forward poses many more problems to be solved. During the Civil War men died like flies from their wounds due to septicimia.

Although Lister was demonstrating that aseptic conditions in the hospital would cut the rate of mortality in surgery incredibly, his fantastic claims were either ignored or vigorously denied by his fellow practitioners, in general.

"BEASTIES"

Two centuries before, Leeuwenhoek had discovered and published the fact that innumerable microscopoc "beasties" inhabited the air we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink, but it had not occured to Lister that there might be any connection between these "beasties" and the rate of mortality which he was lowering by means of his aseptic treatment. It remained for Pasteur to isolate the germ of anthrax and to prove that its entry into living tissue could trigger the disease. Later he was to demonstrate that an injected serum of the weakened microbes causing rabies could be an effective defense against the disease.

VALE OF TEARS

When I arrived in this vale of tears these discoveries were still being hotly debated pro and con. The stethoscope was the only diagnostic tool in general use, the doctors making an educated guess based upon what it divulged.

Few had realized that the microscope could be a potent weapon in diagnosis. At the age of ten one of my little toes was amputated because of a growth of unknown nature and I was on crutches for a long six months because septicemia developed due to neglect of the most rudimentary asepsis.

At that time an operation for appendicitis, (known .to lay circles only as inflamation of the bowel), was a last resort, the patient being given little chance to suryive. Many years were to pass before the operation became routine and a fashionable foible of high society. Tuber-

culosis was considered incurable. Children were purposely exposed to chicken pox, mumps and measles, considered innocuous and unavoidable maladies of childhood, which were best finished with as soon as possible.

Brights disease was fatal and an epidemic of small pox could exterminate entire villages. lt was thought that an epidemic of yellow fever had to run its course and only the few who had miraculously recovered from the disease dared approach and care for the living or dead victims of it.

SLOW PROGRESS

Until World War 1 the few men and women of science dedicated to research made slow progress. Then their store of knowledge began to snowball. Although each new bit of know-how posed many other problems, they also provided some of the knowledge necessary for their solution. That growth in knowledge has continued to accelerate until now a doctor must specialize in some field because no brain can file away enough knowledge for a general practice. And even then the specialist must take frequent refresher courses if the march of medical progress is not to leave him hopelessly behind.

MIRACLE MAN

The medicine man of yesterday is the miracle man of today. He can remove a brain tumor, open and repair a heart, remove a lung, replace weakened arteries with indestructible plastic tubing or graft a kidney - impossible operations a few years ago - and have the patient on his feet in less time than it took me to discard my crutches after the amputation of a toe half a century ago. With his new electronic and chemical diagnostic aids he can often pinpoint an incipient malady before the symptoms would have been in evidence to the practitioner of fifty years ago. A single dose of the proper antibiotic will often cure what was incurable at that time. He has made progress against every ill except the common cold which stymies him. A patient with this ailment will probably need a fortnight to rid himself of it without treatment, if he goes to his doctor it may take two weeks.

Grade Points

By Computer In order to get a student's grade point average it is necessary to multiply the units for a given course by the grade received and then divide this total by the total number of units attempted. The great expense of a computer is prohibitive for a school of this size and as it takes a computer to perform division, all previous grade point averages were calculated by hand. This took about two weeks. With a new approach the grade point averages for two or three thousand students can be calculated and printed in about five hours.

IBM MACHINE

Palomar College has recently published a pamphlet on how grade point averages are derived from an IBM machine which cannot divide. James R. Sprague Jr., until this semester, was the IBM operator and a student here . It was Jim Sprague who researched the problem and found the way by which grade point averages could . be extracted from the IBM apparatus we now have.

RIGHT COMBINATION

What Sprague did was to caluclate all the possible combinations of units and grades received and punch these into IBM cards. The machine picks the right combination of units attempted and grade received and selects the appropriate grade point average. If the student has received a grade point average below the 1.49 limit the machine will print a row of asterisks. Dean Burton, Dean of student admissions and records was very pleased with Jim Sprague's achievement and said, "I believe this sort of accomplishment deserves recognition."

MATH MAJOR

Jim Sprague learned all of his IBM work here at Palomar.

He is now enrolled at San Diego State as a math major. He plans to go into IBM programing when he graduates.

YR s Suffer 1

Suffering under a very poor turnout the YR's couldn't hold an extremely active meeting.

Only a couple of the ten members showed up, this was denoted to the assembly schedule. At the present only 5 of the ten members have paid their dues for the semester.

Fashion Show Last Friday Big Success Attractive fashions, appropriate for all occasions, were modeled with much enthusiasm by 25 students and five faculty members last Friday in the Student Union. The title for the annual mother-daughter fashion show was, "The American Look for 1964".

Outfits modeled ranged from sports wear, casual suits, date dresses, tea time sets, and formals. The highlight of the show was the wedding scene.

The wedding dress was floorlength, short-sleeved, and flower-embroidered ; with the bridesmaids wearing lavender, slightly-gathered, and floorlength dresses.

Stores participating were Arlons, Vista; Jane's, Fallbrook; Regina's and Afton's, Encinitas; and Walker-Scott, Escondido.

SPONSOR

The sponsor is Associated Women Students and the coordinators were Julie Leyuer, Vicky Sanders and Paula Treadway. Miss Sanders was the commentator.

Dr. Bronner Set To Talk Dr. Emil Bronner, who stood before a large turnout of people at the John Rousselot lecture, and said, "I was in a communist concentration camp for six weeks," will be sponsored to speak Wednesday, in F-5 at 11:00, by Roy A. Archer, Political Science Instructor.

Archer is the advisor for the Young Democrats. The Y.D.'s have sponsored many speakers this semester, including Theodore Kilman, Journalism Instructor, who spoke on, "The Responsibility of the College Newspaper"; Paul Carpenter, candidate for the 35th Congressional district for the United States Congress, "Responsibility in Government"; John Rousselot, Western Director of the John Birch Society, "Aims and Principles of the John Birch Society; Mrs. Jonas Salk, wife of Dr. Jonas Salk, developer of the Salk Polio vaccine, "The Need for Legislation To Present Discrimination"; and Assemblyman Hale Ashcraft, who spoke on "Problems of the California Legislature".

SPELLING BEE

COUNCIL PROFILES

Council Needs Even Division Of Work Between Members

By LORNA FLEMING

Phil Giambrone is the vice president of the ASB. The students elected him to serve in this capacity, perhaps they would like to know what he has done. The following is an interview with Phil which took place last week.

QUESTION: How do you interpret the duties of the vice presidency?

GIAMBRONE: "The vice president assumes the responsibilities of the president when he is absent. (By the way, Steve Hinthorne, president, has been so efficient that I haven't yet served as 'president'). The vice president also serves as the head of the ICC." QUESTION: Why did you run for the office?

GIAMBRONE: "Most of all I wanted to promote school spirit, and through the ICC I thought I could better coordinate and integrate activities here on campus."

QUESTION: Was this your only objective?

GIAMBRONE: "No, I felt there should be a stronger relationship between faculty and students. I thought I could be a valuable part of the mechanics of the student government and thus promote my goals."

QUESTION: What were your first reactions to the council after you were elected?

GIAMBRONE: "The attitude of those participating in student council at the beginning of the year was tremendous. If this could have been carried throughout the year, Palomar would have had one of the most forceful councils it has ever had."

QUESTION: What happened?

GIAMBRONE: You can't put the blame directly on the students OR the council. But I guess you can't blame the students, it's up to the executive council."

QUESTION: Do you feel you fulfilled your first goal, to increase school spirit?

of the participant. Presentation may be from memory, manuscript, or extemporaneously with or without notes.

Speeches will be judged on content, delivery and organization. Oral interpretation of literature is the presentation of a manuscript, five to seven minutes in length, of one or more works of prose and/or poetry of suitable literary quality. This is not an exercise in acting, but in communicating the meaning of the author to the audience.

The schedule is as follows: 2:30 Orientation for all participants in room B-2, 2:45 First Round, 3:45 Second Round, 5:00 Final Round, and 6:00 Dinner.

The contestants are invited to be the guests of Phi Rho Pi at dinner, in the college cafeteria, following the completion of the final round. Announcement of winners will be made at that time.

GIAMBRONE: "No." QUESTION: What have been your main accomplishments this year?

GIAMBRONE: "As chairman of the ICC I have helped the students to realize that it is necessary to reserve a time for activities well in advance in order for it to be well organized. I chaired a workshop at the Area I Conference in San Diego.

QUESTION: Has your service in this office been a rewarding experience?

GIAMBRONE: "Yes, one of the most rewarding I have ever had the pleasure and the honor of attempting to fulfill."

Although Phil didn't fulfill his primary goals, he has been one of the hardest workers on the council. This is undoubtedly true however the very fact that he spends so much time cleaning up after dances and running errands, points out what is perhaps one of the major defects of the whole operation. ·The executive officers of the ASB are meant to serve in an administrative capacity. When they spend a countless amount of time and effort THEMSELVES carrying out the burdensome tasks which SHOULD be evenly distributed among other council members, it is very easy to lose sight of objectives and goals.

When asked if he thought the council was a success, Phil Giambrone said that it was 'to a degree' ... the degree being that they DID fulfill responsibilities but no more.

Comets Near SCC Crovvn Myers Retires From Baseball After Eleven Years As Comet Coach

By VINCE STREANO

After eleven years of coaching Palomar College baseball teams, Ward "Rusty" Myers will retire from baseball coaching at the end of the current season.

Myers will still keep his job as director of athletics, and might coach the golf team next year.

"I was doing just too many things," said coach Myers. "I wasn't able to give the baseball team as much time as I would like to have given it. But even though I am giving up coaching, baseball will always be a part of my life."

SIGNS WITH YANKEES

During Myers' college days at Dakota Wesleyan he played football, basketball, and baseball. He wanted to play profess ional baseball, and finally got the chance when the New York Yankees signed him up as a pitcher. But then disaster struck the college graduate as the winter he was to join the club he injured his arm pitching "RUSTY" MYERS snow balls.

In Myers' eleven years of coaching baseball, his teams have dropped below third only once, coming in second five times and first twice. Currently the baseball team is driving for its third championship under Myers, as they are now tied for first with Antelope Valley.

Next year Cecil McGehee will take over the helm of the baseball squad. McGehee is now assistant coach of the Palomar nine, and head tennis coach. ' 31st YEAR OF COACHING

For Rusty Myers this is the 31st year of his coaching career. Myers started coaching in

1931 in a little Indian reservation in South Dakota.

In 1934 he moved to a small high school in the same state. Although the school had only five boys, their basketball team was second in the county and won the consolation prize in the regionals. The track team won the county championship; then went on to win the district meet and place third in the State.

NEVER GAVE UP

"Those five boys never gave up ," said Myers.

From 1935-36 Myers coached at the South Dakota State Training School where he had an outstanding football squad, losing only their last game, and from 1936-40 he taught at Rapid City, South Dakota and went to the University of Colorado during the summer to get his Master's degree.

After he obtained his Master's he moved to California where he coached at Antelope Valley until 1943. From 1943-46 he was in the Navy, and from '46 until '50 he was back at Antelope Valley.

In 1950 Myers was called back into the Navy for the Korean War. After the war he came to Palomar as a coach.

COACHED GREAT PLAYERS

During his career he coached such great baseball players as Gene Baker, shortstop for the Chicago Cubs; Bill Scalzie, shortstop for the New York Giants; and Gene Pfeffer, out-fielder for the New York Yankees.

Since this is Myers' last year as baseball coach the team is trying to make it a successful one. During the first part of the season the club got off to a bad start, spliting most of their double headers, and losing both ends to Oceanside-Carlsbad. But last week the Comets defeated the first place Imperial Valley team twice, and this week they dropped Oceanside-Carlsbad in two games, vaulting into a first place tie with Antelope Valley with only a double header against Santa Barbara left in season play.

"This team has made the greatest comeback of any team I've ever coached," said Myers. " Everyone counted them out except the players themselves.

PLACE SECOND AGAIN

Tracksters Send Seven To State Tournament Palomar's trackmen failed in their bid to break a long string of second-place finishes, but scored an impressive and decisive victory in individual achievement during a five-way track and field event Saturday at the Antelope Valley oval. The locals, leading the eventual meet champions, Antelope Valley, with two events remaining, were blanked in both to be edged 60-551h.

The Comets highlighted the morning's activities by breaking three existing Palomar track records and qualifing seven athletes for the Junior College Track and Field Preliminaries at Long Beach, May 13.

Golf Squad Defeats State Champions The Palomar golf squad finished a very impressive season Saturday by defeating last year's state champions, El Camino, 22-10.

The Comets compiled a 19-9 season's record, defeating every team in the league except Santa Barbara, which they didn't play.

TUNSTALL FIRES 76

Rick Tunstall led the Comets against El Camino, shooting a 76 and taking all eight match points.

Roger Graves was next in Palomar scoring, firing a 79 and winning seven out of eight match points.

Bill Jenkins shot an 80 to win seven of eight points, while Mike Cisneros fired an 83, but lost 8-0.

This win was sweet revenge for the Comets as they had been beaten by El Camino twice before during the year.

"We had real rough competition this year," said coach Bob Bowman, "and I think the team did an outstanding job."

Lovera blanked the Spartans for eight innings, until Frank Chambliss, Oceanside's power hitter, slammed a homer deep over the center field fence in the ninth to ruin Lovera's shutout.

COMETS GET SEVEN HITS

Lovera gave up only four hits in the contest, while Gene Thedorff, the Spartan hurler, relinquished seven.

The Comets scored a run each in the second, third, fourth , and fifth frame3 for their scoring.

In the second, singles by Fred Reynoso, Bill Ensor, Bill Jack, and Dusty Lovera scored the

Individuals Honored At Banquet Athletes will get individual recognition for their participation in various sports events at the annual All Sports Banquet held May 20 in the Cafeteria.

was produced by four walks.

In the fourth inning Lovera slammed his home-run, and in the fifth a single by Bob Crenshaw and a double by Mike Chase scored the Comets' last run.

COMETS BLANKED FOR THREE

In the last three frames the Comets were blanked as they couldn't get a man on base, but they had already done the damage to the Spartan club.

The Spartan's biggest threat of the game was in the seventh.

The second man up got on base on an error, and the next batter, Chambliss, singled him to third, and promptly - stole second to put runners on second and third with only one away. However, Lovera then got tough and fanned the next batter, and got the following one to ground out to the third baseman to end the inning.

Lovera was only one out away from getting a shut-out in the ninth when Chambliss hit his homer for the Spartans' only run.

For Lovera, a relief pitcher, this was his first start of the season, and he did an excellent job as he fanned eleven for his nine innings of work.

PJC EDGES PAST 0-C JC

In the second game it was a pitching duel between Palomar's Dave LeMasters and Oceanside's Gene Thedorff.

The Comets finally scored their only run of the game in the bottom of the sixth on singles by Crenshaw and Vinland, and a wild pitch.

LeMasters did an outstanding job of holding his opponents scoreless as he didn't allow an Oceanside base runner to advance past second. He gave up only three hits, while fanning four batters.

In the top of the seventh Oceanside's Terry Scott gave the home crowd a scare as he slammed a ball deep to center field with two away. Bill Ensor sprinted after the ball, and made a diving one-handed catch to end the game.
