Two Democrats To Present Parties Political Viewpoints

Voting Public Should Know Groups of Both Factions

Two political speakers will be featured in the next two weeks. George Hood, Democratic candidate for the 80th district who is opposing Hale Ashcraft for the district legislative seat. Hood is scheduled to speak on May 18 in F-11 at 11:00. Following on May 26 Alan Cranston will be on campus at 9:00. Cranston is running against Pierre Salinger in the June primary.

What is the place of extremism in the United States politics? Dr. Kenneth W. Grising-

ELECT A DEMOCRAT

Hood will be speaking on, "Why the 80th district should elect a democrat to the California Legislature." Hood will be running against Ashcraft who appeared on campus three weeks ago and spoke on the topic "Problems in the California Legislature." Cranston, who is now the State Controller of California, believes that water, jobs, and civil rights are three important issues facing the U.S. Senate, and even more so California, at the present time. Cranston has been given full support by California Governor Edmond G. Brown. POLITICAL SPEAKERS

During the semester the Young Democrats have presented many well known political speakers and have presented students with an egellent cross section view of current controvercies within

WHY GOVERNMENT? 11

ls An A.S.B. Card Worth Fifteen

Dollars A Year? 11 Asks Hinthorne By STEVE HINTHORNE, ASB President

Why have student government? Why have A.S.B. elections? What do those people in that little office do on Monday mornings? Is it worth fifteen dollars a year to go to football, and basketball games , dances and hoots? Why aren't there more events in the spring semester like there are in the fall? These questions I'm sure are being asked. They are always asked and all I can say is, find out for yourselves. Student Government is essential, in my opinion, to upgrade a junior college from just a "high school with ash trays." Student functions could be put on by the administration who are out of contact with the individual student. Is this what you want? If not, all I can say is to get off your . . . . and get to work to get what YOU want. Since student government does function, only you can make it function the way you want it to. STUDENT INTEREST

All of you reading this article must have some interest in student affairs or you wouldn't have picked up the STUDENT paper. Don't be ashamed. All I can say or do will

not make you run for an A.S.B. office. You, yourself, must make the effort. A lot of you go surfing almost every day, why not form a surf club on campus? A lot of you like to play cards, there is a bridge club that went to work, taiked to the administration, wrote a formal constitution, and now is functioning. WHO CARES?

Anything is possible if you work at it. It sounds as though I'm preaching. Everyone knows these things. It's been said a hundred times before by A.S.B. Presidents or Vice Presidents. What makes them say it? ... I'm leaving Palomar next semester as almost all A.S.B. Presidents do. Why do we care what happens to you people that have to come back? Maybe you'll think about it and wonder if Student Government really is worth it. Oh . .. I almost forgot, all editoria ~ s at th is time of year tell you guys and gals to vote, run for an office, but most of all CARE!!

EDITOR'S NOTE: Front page editorials have been allowed in the last two issues in an attempt to arouse student interest in the up-coming student elections.

her, of the Political Science Department, will discuss this aspect of American politics this Friday at 11 :00 in the Student Union. Dr. Grisingher states, "It is important that the voting public know the extremist groups of both factions and how they fit into the political scene. A recent explanation of the extreme right was presented by Mr. John Rousselot, Western Director of the John Birch Society, in a talk before students March 13. Frank Orlando in commenting upon Rousselot's talk drew a comparison between the methods used by the Birch Society to "educate people about Communism", and the methods of the Communist "educators". Dr. Grisingher believes that the extremist elements in the Civil Rights dispute will be the test as to whether extremism will be held in bounds or whether it will become uncontroled. He also states that "Negro extremists may harm the movement toward Negro Civil Rights." In summing up his opinion of extremism Dr. Grisingher said prior to his speech, "Extremism can lead a nation to utter destruction." The Young Democrats Club is sponsoring the speech to give the students a clearer picture of extremism .
