Science Buildings AI most ~om plete
Congressman Utt Explains Issues
Palomar To House Two New Telescopes And New Planetarium "Palomar's science department will be one of the best in California." This statement has been used by Charles A. Coutts, Chairman of the Business, Science and Technology Division; and by Kent Ehyood Backart, Head of the Chemistry Department, in describing the advances being made . possible by the completion of the new science building. The present Science Building houses Chemistry, Physics and Life Science. After the new building is completed Physics alone will occupy the old building and Chemistry, Life Science, Geology and Astronomy will occupy the new building. Life Science , . alone will have approximately eight times the room it has at present according to Coutts. From Almost Nothing Geology is now the 1ast of the sc·iences in the old barracks buildings located at the west end of the campus. Joseph H. Hydock, Head of the Earth Science Department, planned and built the rooms in which Geology is now located. Coutts describes Geology as having "almost nothing" at the present time. Live Animals Life Science will have approximately eight times the room it has now, according to Coutts. Harold E. Cheyney instructor in the Biological Sciences reported on some of the new facilities that will be available in the new Science Building. He reported that at the present time the Life Science Department has a marine aquarium and an electrocardiograph for the medical assistant program. The new building will also house a five by eight display window in which the Zoology Department will have various displays of live animals. Separate Labs Chemistry will now have· separate laboratories for quantitative analysis and organic chemistry. Some of the new equipment purchased last year which will now see full service in the new building is a spectro-photomograph and analytical balances of the Metier single pan dial type. Kent Elwood Backart, Head of the Chemistry Department, commented that he was very enthusiastic about the advances of the Science Department made possible by the new building and the tremendous assets the facilities will give students. Two Telescopes Astronomy will receive the most benefits from the new building. Coutts reported that up -till now Astronomy has had no rooms of its own. With the new building Astronomy will get its own rooms, a planetarium and two telescopes. 1

Cast For First Play Selected
.. CONGRESSMAN James B. Utt signs an
autograph after speaking on the campus last Friday. Speaking of a breakdown in internal security, he emphasized the lack of investigation of Shilagh Rigamiden and Steve employees in federal positions.
Lewis have been cast in the lead roles for the -"Male Animal", a satirical play to be produced at Palomar. The play will run for two week-ends in mid-November in the Arena Theater. NO UNDERSTUDIES Other cast members will be Christy Howell, Ben McCracken, James D. Ryan, Paul Marvel , James Coker, Andrea Salmon, Suzanne Kammerer, Tom Wilbur, Cory Lent, Jack Mancilia, and Glen Bailey. According to Frank White, drama instructor, there will be no understudies for the play. Instead he will have a female assistant director, who will be expected to know all the female roles. If an actress becomes ill, she will take over that part for the performance. If a male member of the cast is unable to perform, White will play the role. CLOSE CONTACT White will direct using methods originated in movies and television production. He ' feels that although these techniques may present technical difficulties, they will estab, !ish close emotional contact with the audience. According to White, students who participate in the production as members of the cast, publicity workers or backstage crew may receive one unit.ofcredit if they desire. "The Male Animal" is an original play by James Thurber and Elliott Nugent. It was first produced on Broadway in 1940 starring Nugent. It· was later made into a movie with Henry Fonda. ENGLISH PROFESSOR The play is about an English professor at a Midwestern College who becomes the focus of controversy after the dismissa! of three professors accused of "Red" sympathies. The situation is complicated when the school becomes involved with football fanati( Continued on page 3)
·Publicity Committee To Police All Publicity Any Questionable Publicity Will Be Reported To The Committee It was announced at a Publicity Committee meeting on October 13 that the Committee will now police all on-campus student publicity. The decision was reached by Dr. Fred Huber, president of the college, after student representatives requested that the Publicity Committee be given the responsibility. If any administrator, faculty member, or student finds objectionable publicity on campus, they report it to the Committee. If the Committee decides that it is objectionable, the Publicity Chairman is then given the power to re• move it. · ..'I AGAINST REGULATIONS Barbara Partridge, publicity committee chairman, also announced that it is against publicity regulations to fasten any item to the white acoustic tile in the Student Union or student c!'assrooms. However, publicity may be placed on plaster walls, smooth overhangs, and windows in the Student Union. Material may also be put on any of the bulletin boards located around campus. MAIN CAMPUS Terry Dunbar, a committee member, was appointed to take charge of the large bulletin board for October. The board is located at the begin-
11
ning of the main campus driveway, and contains announcements that are pertinent to the entire student body. The committee is composed of representatives from the various organizations on campus. This includes the clubs, special Associated Student committees, and the Political parties. By having a representative attend the committee meetings, the organization is entitled to use Associated Student paper and paints for club activities. Concerning the attendance of t he representative s, Barbara said, "Attendance the past few meetings has been scarce. It would be easier for more organizations to get the publicity they need for activities if their representatives would attend."

Crime, Corruption, And Counci I To Are Main Take Action Communism 11 1 lssueS of Utt Campaign On Drinking "Crime, corruption, and S communism are the
Last Tuesday the Administrative Council held a meeting. The purpose was to determine what action should be taken as a result of the performance of a small number of the student body displayed Saturday, October 10, at the after-game dance. CROWDED AGENDA Mr. Malik, Dean of Student Activities, brought forth the suggestion that the next two after-game dances be cancelled. However, due to the crowded agenda, and the fact that the council would not be able to meet until Tuesday, Mr. Malik withdrew his suggestion. COMPLEX PROBLEM The decision to dismiss any more dances, was too important and complex a problem to reach a hasty decision. Since the council would not reconvene until this Tuesday, the council gave Don Hon, Freshmen Class President, permission to have the Freshmen sponsored dance as scheduled on Saturday, October 24. The council felt that four days notice would not allow enough time to prepare an adequate dance. SOME POLICY A suggestion was presented, that some policy be inacted to deal with any similar incidents occuring in the future. Dr. McGeever, Dean of Student Personnel, stated, "I am extremely disappointed in those few individuals, who so endangered the privileges of all the other students at Palomar. I feel that this is a situation which the students themselves should handle. My sympathy remains with that majority of the student body who still conduct themselves as adults and future leaders of a great country." NO ACTION As yet, no action one way or the other has been taken by the administrative council. Probably the results of todays' meeting will bring forth the answer as to whether or not Palomar students will continue to have after-game dances.
Peace Corps Center Now At Palomar
Any and all Palomar College students who have been thinking of applying to the Peace Corps, will be interested to learn that Palomar College is soon to be a testing center for applicants. ' Further announcements will soon appear in the Telescope, but the tests are to be administered in November, February and May. TEDIOUS PROCESS Qualifying for the Peace Corps is a long and tedious process. The Heads of the Peace Corps, are extremely careful in theil· choosing of an applicant. Those young men and women who are privileged enough to qualify for Peace Corps work, are distributed to many ahd quite varied areas of the world. Peace Corps work is an experience that will never be forgotten by anyone who has participated in the program.

main issues in this campaign," said Congressman James B. Utt as he spoke to about 250 persons at Palomar College on October 16. Speaking of a breakdown in internal security, he emphasized the lack of investigation of employees in federal positions. He also criticized the burning of State Department security files. MORAL CODES Worried about the expan· sion of Communist encirclement, Mr. Utt stated that there are "no good Communists. They are all atheists without moral codes." And for this rea· son, he opposed foreign aid to Tito and Sukarno. Utt stated that the aid for Sukarno was used to "purchase planes and girl friends." GREAT SOCIETY SP,eaking of President Lyn-
Sweat Shirt Day Planned
For Friday Friday is Sweatshirt Day. Friday students are asked to wear the Red and Gray Rooters Sweatshirts. The Executive Council of the Associated Student Body proposed the Sweatshirt Day to encourage participation in the Pep Rally Friday before the first league football game. DRESS CODE The Red and Gray sweatshirts are available in the Bookstore and it is requested that students wear one if possible at Fridays rally. The school dress code will be relaxed that day to permit girls to wear Capris with their sweatshirts. MESA COLLEGE The football game will be Saturday evening against Mesa College at the Escondido High School football field. The game will be followed by an After-game Dance in the Student Union. A member of the football team commented that this first league game is the most important to establish our team as a winner after the early season losses.
don Johnson's Great Society, Mr. Utt commented that members of such a society would eventually belong to the mediocrity of the masses. Tracing the development of the Great Society, he said that it originated in 1850 in opposition to the industrial society and became a Fabian socialist organization. EXECUTIVE BRANCH On the issue of corruption, Mr. Utt said that there "is a moral breakdown today . People can vote against it or vote for it." Attacking the Bobby Baker case, he criticized the chairman for holding back further investigation until after the election, and asserted that there are conflicts of interest in Congress as well as the Executive branch. NUCLEAR WEAPONS Supporting Senator Goldwater's views, he said that he alsoJs opposed to the test ban treaty without inspection. Congressman Utt agreed that it is wrong to not give military commanders the right to use nuclear weapons. "President Johnson seems to be more interested in political security than military security in this matter," said Mr. Utt. "We would have been destroyed before he knew that Russia attacked us when he campaigned last week." AMERICAN WAY Also on the election, he said that President Johnson and Senator Salinger are "afraid to mention Communism in a derogatory statement." At this time, he also commented that there were "no pickets here who dislike Communists." Answering several of the pickets that greeted him, Congressman Utt said, "I'd sell T.V.A. ' to local interests. Capitalism is the American way of life." "I support the John Birch Society completely. It is a patriotic organization that attracts a membership of fine dedicated Americans.

The Telescope Book Review By Cris Hoffman THE FEMININE MYSTIQUE, by Betty Friedan. Published by Dell. (75c paperback available at the bookstore) "Gradually, without seeing it clearly for quite a while, I came to realize that something is very wrong with the way American women are trying to live their lives." This "problem that has no name" Betty Friedman has labeled "The Feminine Mystique." She attempts to perpetrate the "mystique" and certainly has brought to light a real problem of the American woman, pointing out that it has nurtured under various guises for decades. PUBLISHED WRITINGS Betty Friedman is herself a psychologist having graduated summa cum laude from Smith College. She is married and the mother of three children. Periodicals such as Harper's, Good Housekeeping, McCall's and Reader's Digest have published her writings. TRAP LAVED Mrs. Friedman has uncovered the grotesque trap layed for the American woman. Women's magazines and writers have created the image that tells women what they should be; they have mapped out the "typical housewife" and insisted that woman fit into this picture; she should be happy and satisfied with her husband and fam ily. They tell today's "educated housewife" that she must be fem inine at all costs. In an effort to aid her in this quest (and keep her that way), editors of women's magazines eliminate any articles, stories or news items concerning the nation, the world, ideas, is· sues, art and science, but feed the American woman a steady diet of heroine housewives, child care problems and how to hold your husband advice. In trying to conform to this predesigned image woman encounters the "Feminine Mystiq ue." Women have been so crippled by this influx of "femininity" that they can identify with any story of victims of blind· ness, deafness, physical maiming, cerebral palsy, paralysis, cancer, or approaching death but not with a story of an ad· venturous woman or a happy career girl. These editors will not even accept stories that would break this established pattern. LIFE PLAN Calling upon women themselves, Betty Friedman has compiled innumerable evidences to confirm the existance of the "mystique" and statements from editors, psychologists, and psychoanalists telling of their contacts with this problem. Mrs. Friedman offers a "new life plan" suggesting that woman find an identity for herself before she has identified wholly as wife and mother for fifteen or twenty years so she is not left in an "empty nest" looking forward only to death.
A LONG WAY FROM HOME
''It Rained On Me As I Walked To Sdka'' Today I had a very pleasant hike to Saka School. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Lately it has been very wet for a change, that is, rainy. So the roof was very muddy. You can't imagine what it is like here on a new road after a rain. I think though, that your wildest imagination would not be wild en ough. The thick, sticky, fudgy, and slurpy mud everywhere on this wide spance of the rough new road made walking to me a pleasure. I was barefooted. The cool mud felt wonderful to the bottoms of my little tootsies. (Well my writing is interrupted because a teacher has just come to teach me !ban. Study t ime.) MUCH FUN Today is Tuesday. I was telling you how much fun I had walking yesterday. The hike is five miles up and five miles back, of course. Two and a half hours of yesterday's working time were spent traveling. When I got to the school, the only two teac hers were packing up ·t heir things and on their way home. One teacher is the 4-H Club leader, but he could not care less about 4-H and he cares even less about teaching. There are maybe 90 students at this school ages between 7 and 12. The amount of English that is spoken is nil, even though they are supposed to be learning that language. So both teachers left us usual, and I was there to teach a few eager girls some sewing. BLEAK DAY Yesterday was a bleak day. Rainy, wet. It rained on me as I was walking out to Saka, it rained while I was there, and it rained coming home.

source was a newsletter edited by the Congressman. In January 1962, in the Congressional Record, he asserted that a "secret agreement between Alger Hiss and Molotov" assured that the head of the U.N.

The fact is that under the U.N. rules, the chairI man of the Military Staff Command rotates once a month between the United States, Great Britain, France, Nationalist China and the Soviet Union.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
School Spirit Revival By Barbara Emmott
The first issue of the Teiescope this year had an article on the front page about apathy. This is a problem that was constantly discussed last year, as sophomores will remember. In fact, many felt that the people concerned about apathy were unnecessarily belaboring the point. Naturally after recalling the miserable turll'Out .at the student elections last yefu: (usually about ten percent), the lack of school spirit and the poor attendance at school and .athletic events, it is understandable that the same thing would be anticipated this
year. Worriers, put your minds at rest. School spirit this year is experiencing a revival that no one is commending. The outstanding example is the rooters buses to the L.A. Harbor and Palm Springs football games. These buses were very well received by the students, and we feel that this example of interest deserves noting. Entirely too much has been said about apathy on this campus, and very little on the spirit that does appear. Let's stop wailing about the evil and start praising the good!
<>;intendment Is Confusing By Nancy Stinson
The California Real Estate Association <r~presenting only a minority of Jht; ' stat'~~·s teal·· estate agents) is pronwtin,g fill initiative ·constitutional amehdtn~nt, Proposition 14, to ·• conipletE~ly'.riullify the right of all to · accju{te property by adding ·section :, 26 to A~icle I tp read: . . "Neith~r the state nor any subdivision ot 'ag"ency .thereof shall deny, limit'•or ' abridge; directly or indirectl~, the 'riglit of any person who is willing ~r desires to sell, lease or rent any p:a'r t· o·r all of hi:S real property, t'o .d.e·c fine to sell, lease or rent · such.' prop~ity to such person or persons as· he, in his absolute discretion1 choOses." ·. The \vordtng :~r this amendment is confusfng . dild . the' wo'r d "absolute" is so ·vag'ue'. that it had the Bar Association of San Diego in a quandary. If Proposition 14 passes many cases will have to be taken to c.ourt and it will have to be settled in the Supreme Court. In California ·there is no such thing as completely unrestricted real estate. Spanish Land . Grants, Mexican Land . Grants, and American Land Grants are in effect and there are many different types of laws that restrict the _property owners such as thezoninglawsandagriculturallaws. We have other laws preventing us from having absolute control over other obje~ts and capabilities we own. The state doesn't give us absolute control over the cars we own because . :,multitudes . ·. of people would be

killed by speeding drivers and collisions caused by the absence of stop signs and stop lights. One of the capabilities we don't have control over is our emotions. If a person gets mad at one of his friends he can't murder him. A person who is poor isn't allowed to rob a store to obtain money without punishment because there are laws preventing him from committing crimes. These last two are moral crimes · just as segregation because of rac.e, · creed, or national origin is a moral crime. The right to acquire property is even more basic than the right to dispose of property. This right has been protected since 1849 when the California Constitution was adopted. In Section I, Article 1 it states: "All men are by nature free and independent and have certain inalienable rights, among which are those of acquiring, possessing and protecting property; and pursuing safety and happiness." This portion of the Constitution is quite clear and it has never protected any "right" to decline or refuse to sell or lease property that one has already offered to sell or lease just because of the prospective pur chaser's race or religion. Yet, thousands of California's minority citizens find their choice in buying or renting property limited, not by their bank accounts, but by their color or ethnic background.

ing maturity of interests on the part of Palomar students, which is very encouraging and highly commendable. I should like to call attention, however, to one paragraph which is confusing (at least to me), in that it seems to suggest that a vote for Prop. 14 would be a vote for equal rights. This is just exactly opposite to the facts. If I may quote from "An Analysis of Proposition 14", by Howard W. Lewis (a direction ofCREA), p. 4: "Proposition 14, if passed, wou ld not repeal the Rumford Act. If passed, it would not totally nullify any statute. Statute nullification is not its main purpose." And on page 5: "If Prop. 14 were to pass (and were not declared unconstitutional by our courts), it would change our laws and our government in at least four ways. It would: (1) Exempt apartment owners and tract developers from the Unruh Act of 1959, (2) Exempt apartment owners, tract developers, and those who both own and OC· cupy government assisted housing from the Rumford Act of 1963, (3) Prevent the passage of other city, county, or state laws that might require a property owner to be fair when renting or selling his property,
selling." We now have, in California, legislation which operates to protect the rights of all citizens equally. Proposition 14 would change the situation by changing the State Constitution. It would give certain interested groups the legal privilege to discriminate on racial or religious grounds. Lewis concludes, on page 16: "This is the real purpose of Proposition 14, and why it is so attractive: to rewrite our moral ideals so we won't have to change our social practice!" William L.

The Circle K Club of Palomar College held meetings Monday and Wednesday oflast week, for the purpose of bringing in new members and the selection of a candidate for homecoming queen. Wednesday, the members of Circle K voted Ann Purtee, a "purty" 18-year-old freshman from Poway as their candidate for Palomar's 1964 homecoming queen. The local service club has nine prospective new members out of a possible 15 openings. Petitions for membership are still available in the Student Activities -office, and applications will be accepted for about one more week. The nine prospective new members include, Glenn Bailey, Jim Miller, Jesse Lomeli, Alfonso Agraz, Tom Wilber, Bill Byer, · Kim Brown, Burt Brown and Craig Baker. According to Circle K president Ralph Vaughan, "Circle K's purposes are multi-fold and varied." He continued by emphasizing that, "Our main objective is to be of service to campus and com-
munity wherever and whenever and we can. The club sponsors benefits and activities, and all profits received from these events are put to work on other projects. We also try to unify the Kiwanis Clubs of Vista, Escondido, Fallbr ook and San Dieguito so they will work together for the betterment of their local high school Key Clubs." The only qualification for membership is that you be male and have a 2.0 grade average. Some of Circle K's activities for this year include, a blood donation drive, a steak fry for the Disabled Children's Ward at the Los Angeles Veterans Hospital, sponsorship of Brownie Troop #737 in Escondido, transportation for voters in the November election, a car wash, dances and film series. The Circle K meetings are held every Monday at 11:00 in R-4. Prospective members should attend the meetings or contact Vaughan.
YMCA Club Offered To Palomar Students A Campus "Y" Club may be in the offing, if students show sufficient interest. "Many Palomar students have participated in "Y" programs at one time or another." They would undoubtedly form the nucleus of the club," said John Weeks, executive secretary of the Palomar branch of the Young Men's Christian Association. The membership would be coeducational and its activities tailored to serve the needs of the college, especially with respect to the community. Proposed programs could include projects such as repairing toys for needy children, or sponsoring a foreign orphan child. Discussion groups might explore philosophical ideas, or the club could be primarily recreation oriented. "There are many possibilities," offered Weeks. "For instance, we could spearhead a drive to get out the vote in the coming elections. A meeting will be

held to discuss these possibilities Thursday, October 22nd at 11 a.m. in room F-23. This will be the first attempt to include young adults in the local YMCA program. The program previously has been designed for boys in the six to nine year old age group. The YMCA first came to this area in 1961, establishing headquarters in a five room house located at 326 Broadway in Escondido. It is a membership organization of international scope originally founded by George Williams in London, England. Its function was to provide recreational outlets to the much exploited industrial worker. At its inception, it was more religiously oriented than today, but Christian principles still underline all activi'ty. From England it spread to the United States via Boston Massachusetts and was established in California in 1880.

Palomar College will make its Pacific Southwest Conference debut this Saturday night on Escondido High School's Memorial Field. Game time is 8:00p.m. Mesa stands 1-1 in the conference losing to San Diego City College last week 24-8. The other league encounter was a 26-0 victory over Grossmont J.C.

COMETS NOW 1-3
Palomar has a season's record of 1-3. Last week the Comets moved the ball well against a weak team. The first three losses weren't important as far as the score was concerned. Palomar never figured to have a chance against San Bernardino, Harbor, or Phoenix. The object was to pick up experience by facing one of the toughest pre-conranged. Now comes the test for the Comets.
Palomar has tackled one opponent that Mesa has faced. Both teams have been beaten by the powerful San Bernardino Indians. The Comets were passed over 22-7 while Mesa was trompled 48-8, although comparing scores doesn't indicate anything significant. Mesa has proved themselves in other encounters.

The Comets should be in good physical shape for Mesa. Everyone is expected to be ready for action. The loss of Dan Starr for the remainder of the season beacuse of an injury was a disappointing blow for the Comets.

hould Pre-Season Play Be Rough? By VINCE STREANO Sports Editor
Many students around campus have been wondering just why the Comets had such tough pre-season rivals as Los Angeles Harbor and Phoenix City College. Both of these teams are ranked among the top five junior colleges in the nation with enrollments six and seven times that of Palomar. As for the L. A. Harbor game, this is a regular preseason outing for the Comets, and the Comets had a two year contract with them. "When the contract was made I didn't know the Harbor team was goi ng to develop into such a tou gh club," stated head coach Chris Pagakis. Last year the Harbor team defeated the Comets 32-7, while this year they beat them42-6. The Phoenix game was a last minute arrangement. Ventura, the team Palomar scheduled to play backed out, and Phoenix seemed to be the only team left to play. After the final gun had sound ed, the scoreboard showed Phoenix with 47 and Palomar with nothing. Many students feel that instead of arranging the game with Phoenix, it might have been better if the team
got in an extra week of practice. There are also the ones that feel that these tough pre-season games will get the Comets in shape for the rough league schedule ahead of them. There are many ways one can look at the question of such rough pre-season games. First of all when you play a tea{ll that out-weighs you by 15 or 20 pounds suc h as Harbor and Phoenix outweighed the Comets, you are more susceptible to injury. Also when you get beaten so soundly, the loss not only hurts the morale of the players, but also of the fans that watch the games. On the other hand, one might argue that if you play rough pre-season games, by the time you get to the regular season the conference teams will seem easy in comparison. 1t is the opinion of this reporter however, that next year the Palomar squad might find some easier pre-season rivals so that by the time the season rolls around the Comets will not only have built up their team physically, but also the morale of the team members and the sports fans watching the game.

Woman 1 s Hockey Team Prepares For First Game The women's hockey team is scheduled for a meet with San Diego State Thursday at 4 p.m. on the Palomar field. The team has been practicing for weeks in preparation for this first game in the inter-collegiate team sports program. Hockey coach, Mildred Ayers, commented that the women are ready to play and their spirit is right, despite the fact that two of the players are out with injuries. Chances are, t he women on the Palomar team will be a little surprised at the confusion that reigns on the hockey field when the game is in full swing, due to the fact that there are only enough players to make up one team. Conseq uently, they haven't had ·much practice under the conditions of a real game with unknown competitors. All the team members are in hopes they will come out with a victory and encourage everyone who is interested to come out and watch the game and lend a little moral support "We have a good team and this is only the starting point in the series of games we will participate in this fall with other colleges. We will gain experience with each meet and confidence with every victory," said one of the members of the team.
Recreation Night Planned The Women's Recreational Association is sponsoring a recreation night from 6:30 to 8:30 in the dome next Tuesday. According to Monica Kadja, newly elected President of WRA, the gym will be arranged to accommodate games of volleyball, badminton, basketball, gymnastics and possibly a trampoline. The recreation night is open to come and join in the fun and games. Team will be divided up once there are enough

Nancy Sass, Vice-President of WRA, said , "We had a recreation night last year and it was fairly successful." The purpose of the recreation night is to get more people interested in women's sports and to provide a greater un· derstanding of the basic fundamentals and rules of the sports that are available at Pa lomar.
This year there are three Physical Education classes in organized weight training programs. The classes which are coached by Chris Pagakis and Cecil McGehee range from 20 to 30 participants. The weight training classes study a physical fitness program. They have to examine the anatomy of the human body. Even a proper diet is discussed. The isometric body-building system is also introduced and used in this program. Many students utilize the facilities on their own time. Although the coaches like to have the weight-lifting super· vised, the walk in trade is welcome. Students with physical defects are making use of this physical fitness program, trying to over come disabilities. WEIGHT LIFTING HELPFUL
Athletes competing in different sports at Palomar find weight lifting extremely helpful to them. Many work out with weights during the offseason. Injured athletes are assisted by the trainer, using weights to help recover more readily. Each year the coaching staff plans to acquire additional equipment. Coach McGehee said that next year they will have another room to work in. He described the program as progressing very well and containing lots of interest. Palomar has two Olympic sets of weights, both over 400 pounds. New this year is a bar bell of fixed weights going up to 220 pounds. The we ight lifting room contains four isometric stations to work out on. A new piece of equipment ordered this year is a leg extension exerciser.

However, the bright young man is a fine athlete with a fine attitude, and can undoubtedly be counted on for some fine ball playing for the Comets in games to come.

Roach has not seen much action so far this season, but with his rough play and fine running a bility, it is a certainty that he will have a chance to display his talents later in the season. FRED SCHAPER is a 240p\)und tackle. The freshman played football for the first time in his life last year at Vista High, and was the top heavy-weight wrestler on the Panther grappling team. When he learns his way around a football field, he will be a fine performer. VAL MURILLO is a small, but effective halfback. He has great speed and balance, but lacks the experience he n eeds.

MIKE PAINE is a d edicated and hard-working 165-pound guard. He has excellent potential, and as soon as he gains the weight he so badly needs, he will be an excellent lineman for the Comets. JAY SAUER is another undersized lineman that fights against seemingly impossible odds. Sauer weighs 175 pounds dripping wet, and last year was the first year he had played football.

Every ballcarrier on the roster got into the act as elevComets combined to compile 458 yards over, around, and through the Roadrunners in their first victory in four starts. Vic Baltrunas, substituting for injured Dan Starr, was Palomar's leading ground gainer. He carried 17 times for 140 yards and three touchdowns. Head coach Chris Pagakis, though happy with his team's performance, was not as optomistic as might be expected following the lop-sided win in which his charges racked up twelve touchdowns (three were called back). "My boys did a fine job," he said, "But this game wasn't a real test of our ability. The real test will be next week when we meet a truly fine Mesa squad." Pagakis singled out John Hall and Bob Dawson for their rugged play on defense, and Baltrunas, Dick Castro, Bob Moore, Dave Johnston and Gary Rhinehart for their offense play. Palomar suffered an early and only jolt in the opening seconds as the Roadrunners recovered an onside kick. On the second play for scrimmage, COD quarterback Gary Heffelfinger lofted a 40-yard pass to end Jim Feickert in the Palomar endzone. The conversion sailed and the Roadrunners led 6-0 with one minute gone. The Comets j umped back on the ensuing kickoff. Long runs by Baltrunas, Ken Broach, and Dave Johnston brought t he ball to the Roadrunner 23. Broach rambled in to paydirt on the next play. The conversion failed; the first of .nine to do so. Palomar's second touchdown of the first quarter was set up when a COD pass was deflected to Bill Jaroncyk deep in Roadrunner territory. Baltrunas carried over on the next play. Fullback Ray Huett scored the only TD of the second quarter he capped a 45-yard Palomar drive with an eight-yard sprint. Palomar led 18-6 at the half. The Comets opened a wild t hird quarter with a touchdown the first time they got the ball. Broach and Baltrunas carried over from the eight. After a brief exchange, Palomar once again had possession on their own 30. Baltrunas was in the clear and Palomar moved to t he Roadrunner 40, and Bob Moore raced 38 yards for a TD. Late in the quarter, Jaroncyk intercepted a Heffelfinger ball and returned the pig skin to the Roadrunners' 33. Baltrunas carried over for the score. Moments later Dave Johnston rambled into the action late in the quarter when he scored twice in a row, however the first TD was nullified by a penalty. On the next play, he carried for the score. The sc ore was 48-6. The Comet's last touchdown was scored \ate in the fourth quarter by Gary Rhinehart.
Grossmont Beats Comet Harriers Palomar's cross country runners, though improving considerably with each outing, are find ing the superb talent of the bigger San Diego schools increasingly d ifficult to handle. The Comet harriers were beaten 14-50 last Friday by a long-winded Grossmont squad to give them a 0-win, 3loss record. Grossmont's Don Lamorandier was the individual winner of the two-way meet. Lamorandier, a 4:12 miler, jumped fa r in front of the pack a s he traveled· the 3.8 mile course in a blazing 21:21. Top five finishers fo r Palomar were: Jesse Lomelli, 6th (25:19); Denton Wells, 8th (26:03); Tony Gumbrelle, 9th (26:18); Mike Bull, lOth (26 :21); 1.. a nd Wayne Herman, 11th (27:11). Bull, the Comet's top runner in earlier compe tition, participated in Friday's meet though he is still recovering from a severe ankle injury. With the win over Palomar, Grossmont's league record is now 2-0, identical to that of Mesa College. Mesa, headed by Olympic prospect Bob Huse, is rated first in the confer ence.
