Power fo rlure floors team Mild catastrophe struck Palomar at 7:00 last night when a downed power line caused total blackout of the college and surrounding areas. After the power was out the emergency lights flashed on in the Student Union. The librarians gathered candles and continued c hecking out books. Mr.Cheyney conducted class by bunson burner, while Dr. Schettler concluded that electric lights shed little light on philosophy. In the gym, 50 San Marcos basketball players waited on the floor 20 minutes until the lilil:hts came on.
Christmas keg for soldiers The Young Democrats plan to collect money to send soldiers of Viet Nam a keg of beer for a Christmas present. The money will be sent to a platoon of the lst Cavalry Division. Jon Alex, a former Palomar student is assigned to "B" Co . . 15th T.C. Bn. of the lst Cavalry Division. The money will be collected and sent to Alex to buy the beer. The Young Democrats hope that other groups on this and other campuses will follow this idea. Representatives of the Young Democrats said they feel this will be more appreciated than the informal and common greeting on a C:1ristmas card, because "anyone can sign his name on a card, but only those who are truly inte rested will be willing to contribute money to this meaningful gift."
Cards to Viet Nom "Sign a Christmas card for our soldiers in Viet Nam," implore the students in the student union building. The cards are being sent so all of the 30ldie rs in Viet Nam will have something f rom home on Christmas Day. Each of the Christmas cards is signed "From the studen_ts of Palomar College," withabriefmessage adde d from a student. \ All of the cards are donated by members of the Young Republicans and will be sent by the Young Republicans to Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. Brigham Young Univers ity is sponsoring a nation-wide drive for Christmas cards to be sent to our soldiers. The booth in the student union building will be open today and tomorrow. Any student who wishes to sign a card may choose the card he wants. The cards must be received by Brigham Young University by December l.

Student government conference deemed great success to unify the schools in Area 1. Making acquaintance with Area 1 schools will make it easier for us to plan the April Conference. Mike Umphres, who represents the Changing Student workshop feels that "it was really helpful to go and see the different views of other Junior College students. And as far as freedoms in the junior college are concerned Palomar stands out." •Most valuable information from this conference" adds Bob Hicks, representative ofthe Philosophy and Function of Student Government, "was reevaluating the real purpose of the student government." "'There was a broad interchange of ideas. Three hours were spent justifylng the student government. The solution struck upon was that the actual function of student government is to train students to become better citizens," concluded Hicks. Advisors spent their time visiting the various workshops that would be most beneficial.
"A g r e at success and a lot accomplished" was the general comment from those who attended the California Junior College Student Government Association State Convention November 18-20.

While attending the conference, the students stayed at the El Dorado Hotel along with 500 students and advisors from the different areas in the state.

I learned a lot from talking to other ASB Presidents. Next semester, in April, there will be another CJCSGA conference presented by Area 1 and this was a great opportunity

PresidenfsThanksgiving me5Sage President Frederick Huber has asked that his Thanksgiving Day message to the students be expressed in the words of Governor Wilbur Cross, Connecticut, 1936: State of Connecticut By His Excellency Wilbur L. Cross, Governor: a PROCLAMATION Time out of mind at this turn of the seasons when the hardy oak leaves rustle in the wind and the frost gives a tang to the air and the dusk falls early and the friendl¥ evening lengthens under the heel of Orion, it has seemed good to our people to join together in praising the Creator and Preserver, who has brought us by a way that we did not know to the end of another year. In observance of this custom, I sppoint Thursday, the twenty-sixth of November, as a day of PUBLIC THANKSGIVING For the blessings that have been our common lot and have placed our beloved State with the favored regions of earth-for all the creature comforts: the yeild of the soil that has fed us and the richer
yield from labor of every kind that has sustained our lives--and for all those things, as dear and breath to the body, that quicken man's faith in his manhood, that nourish and strengthen his spirit to do the great work still before him: for the brotherly work and act; for honor held above price; for steadfast search after truth; for libe rty and for fellow and so as freely enjoyed; and for the crowning glory and mercy of peace upon our land--that we may humbly take heart of these blessings as we gather once again with solemn and festive rites to keep our Harvest Home. · Given under my hand and seal of the State at the Capitol, in Hartford, this twelfth day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty-six and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and sixty-first.
