Discuss Common Problems Several students on campus have discussed the idea of a club that would bring together prospective teachers and give them a chance to discuss common problems a nd hear speakers on subj ects pertaining to the field. This club will be designed for those preparing themselves to te ach in college, however, there will be no restrictions on the field in which
to get acquainted with some of the scholarly journals used by college teachers; to do research and make reports (on a voluntary basis) on current problems and possibilities in graduate schools and in various types of college teaching; and possibly to do some work, either volunteer or paid, in helping Palomar instructors by acting occasionally as a substitute teacher in a course, by grading papers, and by doing some practice teaching under the supervision of an instructor."
Grade Point Average Is Increased Beginning September 1, the minimum grade point average at Palomar College will be· raised to 2.0 according to Dr. John McGeever, dean of student personnel. Unless the student receives a 2.0 he will be placed on academic probation for one semester. If at the end of the semester, he has maintained a 2.0 he will be removed from probation. If he has not attained the grade point average, he will be suspended from day classes. The decision to raise the G.P.A. from 1.5 was made by the administration with theconsent of the faculty. Among the reasons for the change in standards according to Dr. McGeever is "to achieve unity with the other junior· colleges in our conference. All the colleges will be operating at the same level." 0-0JC Will Change Previously Oceanside-Carlsbad and Palomar were the only junior colleges in the' , area with an average of 1.5. "Oceanside will also be changing its standards," said Dr. McGeever. "About 96% of the colleges in the state have an average of2.0." Can't Hold Office During the time that the student is on probation, he will not be allowed to hold office in student body governments. "The third reason for the change is the expansion in curricula," Dr. McGeever stated. "As the curriculum expands classes are being added for students other than academic majors. This, in turn, enables us to raise our standards." He also emphasized that the raise was not to penalize students, but to raise academic standards and to encourage the student to produce more.

Well As Engineers
Engineers who start the ir higher education in a junior college are as successful in the ir professional careers as their colleagues who take all their undergraduate studies at the Un iver sity of California. The conclusion is b ased on a detailed survey of 1,050 UC alumni who graduated from the engineering d e partments at Berkeley and UCLA between 1947 and 1961. Of this number, 47 percent were complete University products, 40 percent had transferred to the University a fter completing their first two years at a junior college, and 13 percent had enrolled at the University after starting at another fouryear institution. The survey, headed by UCLA professor Harry W. Case, as part of the e ngineering department's Edu cational Development P rogram, drew some specific comparisons between the complete University products, dubbed "natives," and the junior college (JC) transfers: Income : The natives have a slight edge, with 60 pe rcent reporting 1961 incomes of $10,000 or more, compared to 54 percent for the J C transfe rs. Supervisory Responsibility: More JC transfers (51 percent) supervise at least one technical person than do the natives (43 percent). Professional Activities: Af-
ter they earn their degrees and start on the job, J C transfers take a somewhat gr eater part in all phases of professional life. Patents: J C transfers applied for more patents than the natives (18 percent vs. 14 percent), but a n e qual proportion (6 percent) in both groups have actually been gra nted one or more patents.

Campaign
Proposed
Palomar zqology major Barbara Partridge has been selected by the College of Idaho to go on its 7th Field Biology Expedition to Mexico. Students from all over the United States will gather at Caldwell, Idaho, next J une 10 a nd begin a 64-d ay science seminar a nd camping trip that will study the American Southwest and Mexico. Twenty-two students, eleven men a nd eleven women, were chosen from numerous applicants from ma ny colleges in the Uni ted States. "Applicants are screened very carefully," said Dennis Bostic, Palomar zoology instructor. "It's qu ite a feathe r in our cap for Barbara to be chosen." Background Work During the semester previous to the trip, applicants must do background work in the biological . sc iences. On the road, the program is one of concentrated study and research. Students must make individ ual plant, insect, a nd geological specimen collections a nd compile ecological profiles Students will receive 8 units of credit for their work. If they are working for upper division cr edit they must complete individual projects. Barbara is thinking of doing research on petroglyphs and pictographs (Indian rock incisions a nd pai ntings) with comparisons of the graphs in the Southwest and in Mexico. La b work is done on the trip and quizzes are given; the final exam is scheduled for Zion National Park in Utah. Seven States The group will camp in na·
tiona! parks in the U nited States. They will start off a t Ca ldw e ll, Idaho, travel through Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona, across the border at Nogales, and go al ong the west coast of Mexico. They will pass through Mazatlan, Guadalaj ara, Vera Cru z, and Mexico City, and reenter the United States at Peidras Negras in Texas. On the way back they will take the trail from the south r im of the Grand Canyon to the north rim, a nd proceed back to Caldwell. Students living near the College of Idaho are already attending meetings in Caldwell, studying Spanish, biology, and related subjects. Teachers and assistants will accompany the grou p, acting as instructors and interpreters as well as doing their own research. Students in the past have included graduate students, teachers working fo r advanced degrees, and foreign exchange students from other countries. Every Two Years The expeditions are held every two years, the first one was the idea of a College of Idaho class in comparative anatomy, taught by Dr. Lyle Stanford. Palomar b iology instructor Fred Elliott was a senior and a member of the class at that time . He retu rned to Mexico i n 1955 as a graduate stud ent, in 1957 as an assistant, a nd in 1961 as coexpedition leader with Dr. Robert Bratz, who is now dir ector of the trip. Mr. Elliott's daughter Nancy, who attended Palomar, was chosen to go on the expedition in 1961.

Comet Baseball Team
Earns Pair Of Wins

The Comet baseball team opened its 1965 season on a happy note Friday and Saturday afternoons, by trouncing the Oceanside-Carlsbad nine 7-6 and 7-4 on the local diamond. The two games were just scrimmages for the Comets. They operi regular season competition this afternoon when they meet powerhouse Riverside on the Palomar baseball field. Palomar scored two runs in the sixth inning Friday to drop the Spartans 7-6, and then the Comets took advantage of four unearned runs and a four-bagger by Rod Nicol to win Saturday, 7-4. Southpaw John Ensor was the standout for the Comets in their opening win. Ensor came into the game in the fifth inning in relief of starter Dave LeMasters and stopped the Spartans on one hit the remainder of the game. Ensor fanned 10 men in the five innings he worked while walking three. Jack Rouse singled for the only hit off Ensor. The Spartans had a 6-2 lead at the end of four innings but couldn't hold it against the Palomar nine. Mike Wexler led the Comets at the plate with three doubles while Ensor and Jerry Lackey each had a pair of singles. Dan Koenigsberger turned in a good relief performance for the Spartans going the final three innings. Koenigsberger gave up three hits, a walk and struck out two in his three inning stint. However he was tagged with the loss due to a pair of unearned runs given away when a double play ball was thrown away. In the second game the Spartans took an early 3-1 lead but once again threw the game away. Rod Nicol powered a three run home run in the sixth inning to give the Comets their margin of victory. Gary McCartney ripped a two run double to give 0-C its early lead, but the Spartan defense allowed four unearned runs before Nicol unloaded his blast. Wexler again had a pair of hits for Palomar and Denny Williams had a single and a triple.

......... LETTERS TO THE EDITOR .. ......... Dear Editor: I am writing this letter in response to last week's guest editorial by Larry Smith criti· cizing the Young Democrats because they would not debate "the issues" with the Young Republicans. The point that I wish to take issue with does not concern the debates themself, it concerns the right to debate. It may be that Mr. Smith and I have two different concepts of what constitutes freedom. To me freedom of speech is not only the right to express ideas and to debate the issues, it is also the right not to debate. If Mr. Smith is placing limitations on freedom and using the word in some restricted sense then what I have to say may be pointed in the wrong direc· tion, but if he believes that freedom is the state of being free and acting freely he has unjustly condemned the YD's. In his editorial Mr. Smith is saying (whether he meant to or not) that since the YD's favor freedom of ideas and freedom of expression they are compelled to debate "the issues" with whomever challenges them. If they d(,J not, then, they are irresponsible hipocrites mouthing "empty words." But actually in refusing to debate, the YD's have affirmed their right to freedom of speech and debate. I may be harboring the wrong idea about freedom, but it seems that Mr. Smith has overlooked the most basic objective of free speech - the right to express those beliefs and opinions and ideas which you feel need to be expressed. This in no way obligates one to express his beliefs and opin·

ions and ideas on all sub· jects. I realize that the question of freedom is one that is often discussed but seldom resolved and I have no intention of trying to convert Mr. Smith to any particular belief. My point is that his ac. cusations condemning the YDs as irresponsible hypocrites mouthing "empty words" seems to be based more on prejudice and bias than on logic and reason. J.C. Wesley Dear Mr. Gross: It seems that you have a slight problem finding things to write about. Your "Problem of Honesty" editorial was not of the quality that should be found in a college paper the caliber of the Telescope. Perhaps you should read over your article and see how juvinile your accusations really are. I don't know how stupid you think your reading public is, but I am sure that they couldn't have taken your editorial seriously. But I have to admit, you have a beautiful step by step approach on how to steal without really trying. I never would have been so ingenious, and I am sure that you have stimulated others on how to be "little crooks." Have you ever tried writing with an optimistic attitude? There is an apparent trend in your articles to constantly tear things apart. I am sure that you have heard that most people tend to find the things they look for the hardest. With a little optimistic looking, you might surprise yourself and find that the students, faculty, and Palomar campus are not half as bad as you make them out.
Hopefully you will be more "honest" to yourself and your public by not making up a situation and then blowing it up to issue size. I'm sure that if the problem of stealing was over throwing our campus, the administration would step in to correct it. So before you write another editorial on honesty, maybe you had better appraise your own thoughts first. Marti Dobesh Mr. Editor, On Monday, February 8th I attended a lecture sponsored by the Wesley Club entitled "Civil Rights in Mississippi." The speaker, Mr. Tom Lasewell, of this area, had been in Mississippi on two or three occasions, for various voter registration drives, sponsored by the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee. It has been said that a little knotvledge is a dangerous thing. Never was this illustrated so well to me as at this lecture. I have great respect for Mr. Lasewell, whom I spoke with at great length during and after his talk, but am appalled at his apparent lack of comprehension of the complete problem. To be sure he has experienced for brief intervals the racial strife in Mississippi, but as an outsider. I have lived in Mississippi for ten years which should qualify me in some respect to see its problems in a somewhat brighter light. I will not attempt to discuss Civil Rights in the state in depth, for one could write volumes on the subject. Nor will I attempt to defend the blatant injustices heaped on the Negro community in the state. James Coker

Forensic Team Featured At Patrons Meet The Palomar College debate team will be featured on the program for the meeting of the Patrons of Palomar Feb. 16, at 7:30 p.m., in the Student Union building, Mrs. Grace Burns of Escondido, Patrons president, announced. The debate subject will be: "Resolved that the federal government should establish a national program of public work for the unemployed." The debate subject is the one chosen for the 1964-t!5 national inter-collegiate debate topic, according to Ron Tabor, college director of forensics. The team is composed of Karen Runyon and Diane Clark, both of Vista, and Vicki Merdith and Louise Christopher, both of Escondido. "It has been two years or more since this outstanding student · 'activity has been demonstrated for a Patrons meeting," said Mrs. Burns, "and we feel that parents and community citizens by their attendance can greatly encourage these young people as they prepare for national competition." San Marcos and Coast area members will serve coffee and act as hostesses for the evening. The committee chairmen are Mrs. Mary Connors, San Marcos, and Mrs. James E. Horr, Del Mar.

Cagers Play Excellent Game And Still Lose The Palomar College cage team seemed to be ready to shake its slump Friday night, but the Comets picked the wrong team to do it against. The locals met rough Grossmont College in the dome and despite a sterling effort, were eyelashed by the Griffins, 60-57. With 6:06 left in the contest, Palomar was holdi'ng a 55-50 lead, but Chris Stanley, playing a magnificent game and scoring 17 points, collected his fifth foul and left the game. The , loss of Stanley and Grossmont's reserve power be· gan to pay off as the Griffins reduced the margin. With 51 seconds left and the Griffins holding a 59-55 lead, Palomar began to hit its stride and cut the gap to 59-57. Going into the closing seconds the Comets again regained possession of the pelota only to have Bob Lundgren block a shot. Two charity
tosses by the Griffins Ron Schwab provided the difference. Jim Gray, 6-6 Comet center broke out of a mild slump as he potted 17 points and did an excellent joQ in holding Lundgren, Grossmont's highscoring center, to seven points. Each team made 22 field goals, so Grossmont won the game on the free throw line as seven more fouls were called against the Comets and Grossmont converted a ·g ood share of them. PALOMAR VS.

"As part of the master plan, the junior colleges are going : to be responsible for virtually I all the lower division training of college students. Palomar is presenting the full gamut of math and engineering for the engineering transfer, a program almost identical, if not better, than that of San Diego State," said William Bedford, engineering department head. Bedford informed me that the three young men nearby were engineers. He explained that engineers, in the real sense of the work, are interested in the calculation, evaluation and theory of the machines while engineering technicians are the ones who operate the machine and are concerned with the mechanical aspect of the equipment. Tour Of Machines With this in mind, we pro· ceeded to the milling machine which shapes pieces of metal by shaving or slicing. This machine is used in the industrial technician's pro· gram and for making test specimens for use in the ex, periments carried on by the lab class. Next, Bedford introduces the "hardness tester" and demonstrated it by placing a bar of steel in the machine and increasing the pressure on it until it is penetrated by a bullet-shaped device; the pressure is thP.n released and the metal allowed to spring back as much as it will. The resultant reading tells the person operating the machine exactly how far the device penetrated the metal under a certain amount of pressure. As we approached two large gasoline engines, Bedford explained what they are used for. He said that the engines are used to give the student experience in conducting an experiment concerning the intake and output of the engines without really looking into the engines. Black Box "For instance, just imagine the engine is a black box," instructed B~dfoJ:d. "Into the box goes gasoline and a little oil. And out of the box come heat, power, both mechanical and electrical, noise, vibration and exhaust. We want to know how much the gasoline costs and how much power we get." He went on to point out how exhaust contains unburned hydrocarbons which, when they reach the ozone layer of the atmosphere, become smog; how, · if the wrong octane gas is used for a high or low powered engine, the result is less power, more vibration and noise. With a better understanding of how the engineer solves problems without even looking into the black box, we went on to another machine. What appeared to be an oversized pendulum turned out to be a toughness tester which records the amount of force required to break ·the speciman. Torture Machine Then we came to what looked like an ancient torture machine. It is called the universal testing machine. It really could be used for torture because it tests the strength of a speciman by either squeezing it or pulling it. The machine is hydraulically powered and can exert a force of 60,000 pounds. Bedford squeezed a block of wood down to half its original size as a demonstration of the machine on its low power setting. This machine is useful in that it enables the operator of the mach ine to calculate the strength of a speciman in terms of force per unit size.
Such a test could be applied to different types of steel to see which one is strong enough to support a bridge or dam. What should we run into next but an ice-cream cart! It seems the conveyance is ideally suited to house the calorimeter wh ich is being built under the National Science Foundation . :Program. Bedford is directing the project and the students are making it and doing the research for the project. A centrifuge machine is used to measure rotational speed with several different measuring devices and then the students compare the accuracy of the devices used with a known rotat ionai speed. Analog computers, surveying instruments, potentiometers, and an electronic strain indicator followed in the tour and at the conclusion of this, Bedford proudly stated that Palomar is among the best equipped of California junior colleges. This is partly due to the extensive aid given by the National Defense Educational Act which matches tax budgeted funds for equipment equally. Working Engineer Bedford keeps in contact with the professional field and does some engineering work under contract. He recently took the examination for professional engineering registration which lasted eight hours. With a Bachelor's degree in psychology from Stanford, educational training at the University of California, a Bachelor's degree in che mical engineering from the University of California and a specialism in the Russian la nguage, .Bedford is a many faceted personality. TEACHES RUSSIAN
After the service and a year and a half as research engineer for the California Research Corporation in conjunction with Standard Oil of California, Bedford began teaching at Palomar in lS(J;. He taught a couple of Jl'gbt courses in conversational Russian here as well as his courses in engineering. Right now he is doing a translation of a Russian chemical report for the Ryan Aeronaut ical Corporation. Bedford says it is hard work and very time consuming, but he does it because, "It's fun ."
Campaign (continued from page 1) . help remind the rest of the students of the importance of keeping the cafeteria and snack bar clean. Here are some suggestions: 1. Before leaving the snack bar take your cups up to the window and throw papers in the waste basket. 2. Stack everything on your tray before leaving the cafeteria. 3. Don't put ashes and pap· ers in glasses and food. 4. Keep cha irs out of the aisles.
