Voting privileges removed AMS and AWS presidents who were previously thought members of the ASB Council, yesterday had their voting priviliges taken away. This action was a result of an inquiry made by the Judicial Committee headed by Bob Hicks, which found that there is no provision in the constitution for these 2 offices to have voting powers on Council. It was moved that the constitution be amended to give these two officers the vote and the amendment passed the council 8 in favor, 3 against, and 2 abstaining. The proposed amendment will come before the students at the next ASB election. see editorial

GOODBYE CAR
''In honored and loving memory of those who gave their lives in defense of our country, " is the inscription on the memorial plaque that was dedicated . Wednesday. The dedication was part of the opening ceremonies of the Seventh Annual Palomar Invitational Basketball Tournament. The tournament was dedicated to Lietenant James Mitchell, U.S. M. C., whose name is the fira one inscribed on the plaque . The 26" x 16" black granite plaque was placed on the portion of the low brick wall below the flag pole which faces the library. The Unied States Marine Corps Colorguard from Camp Pendleton began the ceremony as they snappily marched from the library to the vicinity of the flagpole. After a few brief remarks in the opening ceremony, Glen E. Bailey, A.S.B. president, dedicated the plaque in the name of the students. "The war in Viet Nam has grown in the last . few weeks to proportions exceeding that of the war in Korea and chances are Jim Mitchell will not be the only member of this relatively young institution to make the greatest of ·all sacrifices," pointed out Bailey. "James Mitchell's name, andanyother which might eventually be engraged, shall be enshrined forever in the hearts of Palomar students, in the heart of their campus." Virgil L. Bergman, dean of instruction, dedicated the plaque in the name of the college. Following the presentation of the Colors, taps was solemnly played by Phil Sands, the Star Spangled Banner ended tre ceremony. The plaque was made by the Pyramid Granite Company with all of the arrangements made by Charles Hoadley, AMS president and chairman of the ASB plaque committee.

''The college does not wish to give citations to students, "insisted Burton, "but there are a few students 'who insist upon speeding or parking illegally. 98% of the students do cooperate with the regulations, but in order to protect them, citations must be given to those who break the rules."
Toys for Tots are being collected by Circle K as part of a county-wide effort sponsored by the Marine Corps to provide needy children across the United States with toys at Christmas. The collection i s taking place from December 1 through 17. Members of Circle K placed boxes in the student union for the deposit of toys. Each night Circle K members take home the toys that have been donated, and then every two weeks Kim Brown, president$, '·and Ralph Va\lghan take the toys to the Marine Corps depot in San Diego.

THE EDITOR AND THE NEWS by CRISTA GILLETTE
With the semester more than half over and elections coming up again after the Christmas holidays, perhaps it is a good time to review some of the action taken by ASB Council this semester. Probably the most important issue to come before this body was the proposed constitutional reVlstons. Copies of these revisions, made by the Judicial Committee, were given to the members of Council two weeks prior to the meeting concerning the question. At that meeting the r evisions were passed unanimously, without any discussion whatever. It is well within the realm of possibility that many Council members did not even read the proposed revisions . According to the judicial cnairman, the major accomplishment of the ASB this semester was the replenishing of the blood supply for the blood bank, an institution set up last semester. Perhaps the forthcoming elections will provide a little of that new blood for the ASB council. Inefficiency and lack of organization could have something to do with the present state of affairs. It is a frequent occurrence to see the president hurriedly scribbling the agenda for that day's council meeting seconds before it is to be called to order, (an action I might add that is sometimes forgotten. An ASB meeting that ls not called to order can be little more than a discussion). Thi~ agenc;l.a i~ then mimeographed and handed to council members after the meeting has begun. To their dismay, many times this agenda contains only the headings, Committee Reports, Old Business, and New Business, and numbered blanks for members to fill in as the meeting progresses. Perhaps this can be termed 'functional organization,' but I've seen better organization in a wellkept doll house.
Among such triviaaswhetheror not to recommend that the chairs in seminar rooms be padded, but not with ASB funds, an:i discussing who gets to play chairman of the next leadership class meeting, a fe w things have come to light at these meetings . For instance, yesterday it was found that the AMS and AWS presidents who have been voting on Council all year are not constitutionally provided members of the ASB council. True to type, a motion was immediately made to amend the constitution to give these OJfficers a vote on the Council. It passed 8-3-2. The recent dedication of a memorial plaque by the student body to Lt. James Mitchell, was well handled by the AM::ipresident and now an ex-member of council. This seems like a good place to include that a majority of the action taken by Council this semester was initiated by the Judicial Committee. At times one would almost think the judiciary were keeping the Council alive. Attendance at these meetings is fairly good . Usually the only one absent is· a chairman of the publicity committee since action was taken against that group for infraction of four parts of the publicity code. It seems that members are attracted to Council meetings like children to a circus, arid some of the meetings approach just that. U ~uapy just prior to adjournment discussion is taken up as to what one is wearing to the Christmas Formal, and other such important matters .
One cannot accuse present ASB officers of incapability; however, their good intentions have been lost in the muddle and confusion of haphazard meetings and obscure parliamentary procedure. Perhaps more efficiency and organization will come with the rejuvenation of offices this spring.
See instructors before deficiencies BY DONNA MURDENT Did you receive a Deficiency Notice this semester? If you did perhaps it was because of your unwillingness to discuss your problems with your instructors. Many students do not attempt to see their instructors until they have received a low grade on a test or an assignment. The reason for the low grade could have been cleared up before the test, but students seem quite reluctant to talk to their instructors until a low grade stares them in the face. "When I'm getting good grades I don't figure I have to go see my teacher," commented Steve Heiderer. Lee Rosewall agreed by stating, "I usually wait until after · I get a low grade to consult him." Some students feel that they learn more by working out the problems themselves ratherthan consulting their instructors. Carol Wood admitted that, "Some instructors can be awfully helpful, but I prefer to learn it on my own. I think you can learn more that way." Many students mentioned dif-
ficulty in finding an instructors office and then finding a time when he was available . The Student Handbook contains a list of the faculty offices and each member of the faculty has a small card posted in his window or door announcing his office hours. Some students feel that the instructors are too sociable when they talk to their students and don't get down to the business of helping their students until it's too late. Pat Crocker f · _:.:; "a lot of teachers use their time talking socially to students so they don't have time to help them." These are just a few of the reasons why students do not go to see their instructors . I think two more important ones are shyness and fear that they will be bothering their instructors if they go see them. Whatever the reasons are I think that a lot of problems with homework and tests can beovercome if the students attempted to see their instructors more often before low grades appear.

ost Horizon" Reviewed by Donna Murdent
James Hilton's LOST HORIZON encourages the reader to use his imagination and believe in Shangri-La. Shangri-La is a lamasary in the unmapped and unexplored Kuan Lan mountains of Tibet. In this lamasary no one grows old. Four people are kidnapped and take.n to Shangri-La to remain there for the rest of their lives. Shangri-La seen through the eyes of these people can be either a fearful, desolate, place or a place of absolute peace. Mr. Conway who is theonlyoneofthe four who knows the true story of the lamasary finds peace there for a while. Mr. Barnard and Miss Brinklow come to accept their new lives although they do not know the true story of ShangriLa. Mr. Mallinson resists the peacefulness and wishes to escape.
Having recently returned from the C.J:c.s.G,A. Conference in Sacramento, I am all 'fired-up' in this area of re-evaluating the purpose and function of student government. This was the topic of the workshop which I attended, and it impressed me sufficiently to feel that I must present it to you. In establishing a criteria, the question is asked-WHY HAVE STUDENT GOVERNMENT? Primarily, the answer lies in the realization of those factors which are necessary to maintain a democratic society. That is, that the public must participate, and leaders must act in behalf of their constituents' interests . Both must continually sense and exercise their rights and responsiblities. Hence the underlying philosophy justifying 'student government' is, that on the one hand, its purpose is to teach responsible leadership, effective organization and social consiousness; and, on the other hand, that it provides a~1 opportunity for the student body to develop their responsibilities-constant awareness of, and participation in the democratic process . Having thus justifed the existence for student government, its function is found in the structural system. Namely, it should act as a recognized and responsible student voice. It should function as the intermediary between the student body and the faculty or the administration. Allocation of the A. 8. B. budget might be used as an example. The administration collects $15 from each student and redistributes it among the various departments, but the A.S.B. Executive Council retains the power to approve or disapprove the allocation. Another function of student government is to' effect the organization of activities which are of interest to all, i.e., the Humanities Lectures, formal dances and social functions, the Awards Banquet and the Blood Bank. None of these could be accomplished by a student body at-large without some central coordination. And so I am convinced (or reminded of my conviction) that student government is ideally justified. I also know that its functional purpose is legitimate . The answer to any question of its success depends upon each one of us.
No matter what the feelings of these people, they cannot leave Shangri-La. In LOST HORIZON Jfl.mes Hilton fuses the lure of unreality so completely with actual facts that the story is made believable. James Hilton has realized the wish of everyone to find a place of tranquility where all are devoted to the pursuit of wisdom. Some of James Hilton's books include GOOD-BYE, MR. CHIPS, RANDOM HARVEST ,and TIME AND TIME AGAIN. He received the Hawthornden Prize in 1934 for LOST HORIZON. LOST HORIZON is available in the book store for 60~.
Zoologists to travel • Ill Mexico San Felipe Desert in Baja California will be invaded this weekend by twelve zoology 1-A students on the first Zoology field trip the school has taken to Mexico. Dennis Bostic, zoology instructor, said that the purpose of the field trip is " ... to introduce the student to the field of ecology. Special emphasis in the collecting and preserving of Gulf fishes, small mammals, and reptiles, and to the adaptations of deserticulous and nocturnal life."
Scholarships now available
The students will have presented signed by their parents and have received their visas, fishing licences, and small pox shots by departure time. Bostic has prepared maps and special directions to make sure no one gets lost and has also prepared a special check list mention the essentials of the trip. permissi~n
A new scholarship will go to a woman student who has been out of school but is returning and needs financial assistance. The Vista Business and Professional Women donated $50 to be awarded for the spring semester. The recipient of the award must be available to meet with the VBPW during their meetings. The scholarship will also be available next fall. MEMORIAL FUND The Margaret Rutherford Memorial fund, established by a Vista family, is also now available. It is awarded to bus-
iness administration majors and given on the basis of scholarship and need. SAWDAY GRANT A general grant, the Catherine Arm. (Tim) Sawday Grant, is currently available to Palomar girls who needfinancial assistance. The grant is $100 each year but the counseling department tries to get as many girls interested in it as they can. The basic grant is $25 a semester. Students wishing to obtain further information about the scholarships or to file applications may consult Del Porter in A-64.
Bostic commented that about 9 0% of the students have never been farther south than Tijuana and that the trip will really be a new experience for them. The group is going well outfitted. They will be doing everything from collecting mammals, bird watching, catching fist, to scuba diving for marine vertebrates.
LETTERS TO THE EDilOR Dear Editor: I applaud the Y.D's for their thoughtfulness in providing a portion of the soldiers of Viet Nam with a meaningful gift at Christmas. In my opinion the Y.D.'scouldhavechosen a more appropriate gift since Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ. Since the sending of Christmas cards is a national project and most every soldier will receive one, I fell this will be more appreciated than one ,keg of beer going to one platoon. I am sure that even though Jon Alex is an ex-student of Palomar College there are many more of our alurrmi in Viet Nam. This seems to be singling out one group of soldiers and giving them preference over all of the others. I think all of our soldiers deserve some token of our backing and faith in them. As . to the statement made by the Y.D.'s that Christmas cards are illformal and common, what is more informal and common than having a
beer with his buddies? By making money a qualification of feeling, the number of students able to participate is limited. In closing, due to the Christain definition of Christmas I can not join the Y.D. 's in hoping that this form of expression will spread to other campuses. Thomas E. Jenkins President of the Young Republicans
Dear Editor: Congratulations! You have attained a new low in triteness with your clever little report on the International Club's Folk Concert that was held on Saturday November 20th. You begin your article by stating that the production of the concert was pitiful but do not make it clear that this is only the opinion of the reporter and not the general opinion of those who attended. As chairman of the
concert I received nothing but compliments for our club on how enjoyable an evening it was. It was especially brought to my attention that the lighting used was very effective and created acoffeehouse atmosphere. I will graciously admit that the format was somewhat slow but we tried to make the evening as informal as possible. Yet as you say in your article the crowd warmed to the entertainers despite the "inept production." Another example of your trite method of writing the article is this statement and I quote: '' .. . Ran a played a Persian song about an old cow entitled 'Old Cow '. " Really! I Finally, the most shocking statement to me was that concert-goers would appreciate more prudish remarks inkeeping with the concert atmos~ere makes me wonder whatkindofminds you have. Believe it or not we are in college now and the entertainers were under the impression that
they were performing in front of a fairly sophisticated audience. If anyone besides yourselves were offended by remarks made that evening I have certainly not heard about it.
And just before I close I would like to know about the sentence:" The next concert the International Club presents will be more enjoyable withfaster pacing, skillful handling of Jights, and a microphone for vocalists." On what" grounCs do you base this statement or is it wishful thinking? I will not even bother to point out the errors you made in reporting since that seems to be a permanent fixture in the Telescope. I remain proud of Palomar but continually disgusted with the Telescope. Sheldon Walker ED. NOTE As the writer of the rather caustic review which you found distasteful, it looks like I owe you an apology. Misled by club publicity, I honestly
believed you intended to put on a concert of international folk music. It was only upon reading your letter of protest that I learned thepresentation was in reality intended to be a coffee-house review. This, of course, puts the effort in entirely different light, both figuratively and literally. With this information now available, you can be as!?ured that t:-!e top-notch talent you gat':.e r ed will lure me out to your next show. And this time I shall come armed with a thermos of coffee. However, I seriously doubt a quart of coffee will resolve all my problems. I will have to find out, for instance, if performer Clara Hart really does prefer a microphone, as she implied. And I would like to make sure she is coming back. If she is, I will even resign myself to the taste' less outhouse humor in which she and Grady Tuck, the otbe r coffee-house performer, had no part.

A· standing room only crowd packed into the Dome to view what might be the top JC team in the nation, Riverside was led by the Tournament's most valuable player, seven footer Larry Bunce, who scored 22 points. He controlled the boards, pulling down 21 rebounds. an outstanding effort against Hancock's 6-9 center DeWitt Menyard. Menyard was also an all tournament choice. Hancock came out of the dressing room hot and sped to an 8-3 lead. Riverside's brilliant coach Jerry Tarkinian called a time out and gave theTigers a speech that got them moving. At 14:52 in the first half Bunce made a foul shot to put Riverside in the lead Hancock, led by Menyard, fought hard to keep the Bulldogs in the game until Riverside guard Steve Barber drove past Hancock's Joe Henderson for a lay-in to give the Tigers the lead for keeps, 26-24 with 4:45 left in the half. Riverside took a 31-28 lead to the locker room with them at the half. The Bulldogs came out hot again and cut Riverside's lead to 33-32 but the Riverside depth became all too evident for Hancock.

Comets finish m
last .~ ~'
Wrestlers at Barstow By GLEN BAILEY Thanks mainly to coach Mac Wiebe and a handful of dedicated athletes, Palomar will again field a wrestling team after a three year absence. The Comets travel to Barstow on December 10, for a duel meet to open the 19 65 season. The first of seven home meets will pit Palomar again with Barstow on December 15 in the dome at 3 p.m. Coach Wiebe . and his matmen face a year of organization in rejuvenating the wrestling program at Palomar. Depth is always a problem for Comet coaches, and with only 15 men, Wieoe doesn't expect any miracles of his team. He does expect.
however, to see many fine indivudual performances throughout the three month season. Regardless of the sport's recent rebirth at Palomar, several former prep stars are seeking berths on the squad. Wiebe, in his first year on the Palomar coaching staff, is formerly from Mt. Miguel High, the powerhouse of San Diego County wrestling . Consequently he has for the most part, reports the new coach, the squad members have developed a healthy attitude towards Palomar's retUrn to intercollegiate competition . '"They all realize we have a rough schedule," he said, '"but they also know wrestling is
still an individual effort sport." In lower weight classes, the Comets draw a void in the 115 pound class, though Dave Anderson has expressed a tentative desire to compete. Dave Tibbetts, a former State Champion from Maine, weighs in at 123 and should give some support in that class. Ed Howard and Greg Baker at 130 and 137 respectively are graduates of Escondido High, where both were consistent winners. Heading the 145 pound class is Fallbrook's Tom Jones, 1965 Avocado League wrestling champ. Jim Cavan and Darrell Clubb dan's have as much experience as Jones, but both display a definite interest. Earl Callander from Orange Glen and
Bill Lehrke give a good deal of strength to the locals in the 152 pound class. Craig McDonald, a 160 pound Vista grad, was third in the CIFchampionships three years ago. Bill Bricker, also from Vista, is vying with McDonald for the position. Palomar has no candidate for the 167 pound class, and the nextweight belongs to Bob Wilson at 191 pounds from Vista. Southwestern is coach Wiebe's pick to win the Pacific Southwest Conference championship. Palomar is definitely the league underdog, but has the talent to surprise some schools. The Comets will need at least two years to build a program and reputation at Palomar. It can be done, and Mac Wiebe intends to do it.
Finishing last in its own Palomar Invitational Basketball Tournament isn't anything to be proud of, but the Comets have shown definate signs of improvement and should be ready for a two game set with Phoenix College in Arizona this weekend. Cris Stanley, a 6-2 sophomore forward who was an All-Pacific Southwest Conference pick last year, and 6-5 freshman center Ton Heckendorn have shown the most improvement during the ~t.ourney. The Comets lost all three tourney starts, 85-66 to Ventura on Wednesday, 85-67 to Coalinga on Thursday, and 79-65 to Mira Costa on Friday, making their season score 1-4. Stanley who rebounded well but didn't score much in the opening loss to Naval Training Center or the 81-67 win over Orange Coast on November 27, was the top scorer in the game with Ventura with 16 points. Against Coalinga it was again Stanley who paced the Palomar attack. Three Comets scored in double figures for the Comets, Stanley (14), forward LeRoy Putnam (16), and guard Bill Garrison (13) . Heckendorn, a graduate from Vista High School, netted 18 points against arch-rival Mira Costa. Palomar led early in the game, but fell behind 41-33 at halftime and never caught up. Tom Flemming paced the Spartans with 27 points. Comet basketball coach Joe Brennan has indicated that he will go with a starting lineup of Stanley and Putnam at forwards, Hecken-

Records broken Only one scoring record remains intack following last week's Sevinth An nual Palomar College Invitational Basketball Tournament. Six foot three inch Fullerton guard Walt Simon, who was last year's tournament Most Valuable Player and was an all tourney selection again this year, accounted for most of the marks. Simon scored 47 points in a 92-78loss to San Diego City College Thursday. Last year Simon was the leading junior college scorer in the nation. His other tourney marks are most points in four games (106 points last year) and most field goals (18-set in the SDCC game) . Three other records were broken. DeWitt Menyard, Hancock's 6-9 center pulled down 25 rebounds against San Diego City College, Ventura scored ll8 points against Fullerton, and 208 points were scored in the same contest.

big difference
Natural or Artifical?
people's
lives
By Kathy Phillips Is the weather nature or an artifice? I think people create prevailing weather conditions. The thing that intrigues me most is the inconsistent way in which people feel about the weather. We don't have too many drastic changes here in "sunny California", but when we do people are sure to talk about them. In fact it is the main topic of many conversations. Even though it seems trivial it is the starter of many relationships. Think back now to the time you met your boyfriend, girlfriend or just plain friend. Did you not crack the ice by saying "Sure is nice today" or "I love the rain"? For a second thought see if you can recall just one day you didn't make some reference to the weather. Nevertheless weather gives people something to talk, worry and complain about. Does fickle weather cause fickle people or fickle people cause fickle weather? We shall concern ourselves with our two drastic weather changes in this area--the Santa Ana winds and the rainy season. Interrupting our chilly September and October months, the Santa Ana winds fill us with warmth. The first day we happily and easily recall our summer past. During the early part of the day I hear people saying "What a beautiful day", Finally we are getting some nice weather" or "I think I '11 soak up some rays since it is so warm." As the day wears on and people drag back and forth weather-beaten, in dripping clothes and beaded foreheads, their attitude changes. "Sure is hot isn't it." "Yes, it sure is." "I wish it would rain, I hate being this hot. I'd rather have cold weather than hot." Two weeks later .... From a nearby window I could see two of my friends standing at the far end of the corridor chatting away. They were really going at it; both talking at the same time. What could be so interesting? Curosity being my second nature, I trotted down the corridor and confronted them. "Hi." "Chat, clatter, chat", they replied. Oh, so that's it. Their teeth were clattering so bad they sounded like a pair of castanets. I stood there observing people hurrying from shelterto shelter, skidding along the mud and trying to step between rain drops. My eyes spotted a curious sight; I forgot the wetness of the rain and walked to the corner of the English department. Some janitors were busily trying to stop the Niagra Falls that

was being created right before my eyes. "Hi" , called a voice from behind me. I turned around and saw a familar face. He stood shivering, blue and wondering why he was standing out in the rain (or maybe why I was standing out in the rain) . "What are you doing?" he questioned. "I'm watching them fix a roof in the leak." "Don't you mean fix the leak in the roof?" "No". He shrugged his shoulders. "Oh. Sure is cold isn't it." "Yes, it sure is." •r wish the sun would shine. I hate being this cold. I'd rather have hot weather than cold." Everywhere you go you will hear about the weather and don't think you can ignore it. People need weather. Songwriters write songs about weather; poets write poems about it; and scientists spend endless time explaining it so they can give accurate weather reports. I myself don't get dressed in the morning until I hear the daily forecasts on three different radio stations.
What would happen if a storm suddenly dropped eight inches of rain on an unprepared area where the average rainfall is only ten inches a year? It happened here two weeks ago. In the Science Complex the classrooms along the north side flooded, not drasticly, but several inches of water seeped into the astronomy lab. Students in the north lecture arena also got their feet wet. The parking lot between the business and math buildings was a sea of mud. A good Samaritan with a fourwheel drive truck towed almost a dozen cars to the safety of pavement. Between the men's locker room and the student union the parking lot became so sloppy that it had to be closed for two weeks. After a week in the sun the maintinance department worked for two days with a skip- loder to fill in the big holes around campus. Monday, November 22, was the worst day. Besides mud bound cars, the westbound lane of Highway 78 in front of the college was flooded and traffic was slowed to a crawl. The Dome bver the gym leaked, but the Dome always leaks. The metal pre-fab sections that make up the Dome expand and contract depending on the temperature. The constant expansion and contraction breaks the caulking seals loose. Feminine coiffures dropped into stringy mops after one or two dashes from class to class. In composition class rain soaked papers became the rule of the day. The electricity went off at seven o'clock just as evening classes were beginning. The two hour power failure didn't disrupt educational processes too much, as instructors concluded that electricity shed little light on learning. The croos country team decided that nobody could run four miles in a cloud burst and didn't · 'gb ·to tM· Southern California Finals. The officals at Mt. SAC held another view and ran the meet according to plan. The rain stopped and the sun came out. Plants that hadn't drowndd started to grow. The bales of hay that pat the pole vault pit grew a tall, green flat top. After the mud had dried and the sun burnt hillsides around the campus started to turn green, Palomar seemed to recollect, • A little rain never hurt anybody."
Father Patrick underlines 4 areas of change

The Catholic and Protestant Churches came into the 20th century without a theology for the problems of modern life, Father Partick O'Connor told the Newman Club Monday. This included family, politics, nuclear warfare, birth control and pacifism, according to Father Patrick. The church, he said, must move ahead to answer these perplexing problems of modern man. "T~e Catholic church must change," said Father Partick because of ( 1) presentness and "futureness", (2) dynamic emphasis, (3) relevance, and (4) the new ecumenical dimension in theology. Underlining these four areas of change, Father Patrick discussed the 16 decrees the Vatican Council will decide upon by December 7. The pendulum of theology swings to extremes of emphasis on living for the present life and for eternal life, he said. The Catholic church is now.swinging toward a greater involvement with people and what they are doing in the present rather than an extreme emphasis on eternalUfe,Father Patrick said. , The modern emphasis will be on the church taking a more active interest in human beings, because the church is the people. The last factor Father Patrick mentioned as necessitating change in the Catholic church is the emphasis given ecumenism in modern theology. Growpressures for c hurch mergers, and the strengthening desire to seek unity through .dialogue, has been one of the major concerns of Vatican II, Father Patrick

DRAMA IN ACTION
John Proctor (Darrel Doliber) roars down Elizabeth Proctor (Ethel Doliher) for suspecting a liason between he and Abigail Williams (Sandy Toth).
Interview with
Dr. Gordon
I
By Beverly ' Vhite
In an effort to gain an historical viewpoint on the upcoming Palomar drama department production of "The Crucible," Dr. Joseph Gordon, history instructor, was asked about his impression of the period. 11 'I am my brother's keeper' carried to the very extreme was a part of the Puritan·'s belief," stated Dr. Gordon, referring to the philosophy in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. Puritan John Proctor differs from the other people in that to prove that he was of the predestined elect, he did not seek out and report other people's sins which most Puritans felt obliged to do in 1692, according to Dr. Gordon. 11 A Puritan would constantly try to conduot himself in a manner that would convince other Puritans that he was of the elect while at the same time try to detect in others evidences that they
Job Placement By Kathy Phillips Enter the administration building, walk down the long c o r r i do r past Dean Burton's office and take a left. Occupying the far left corner is a small room with a temporary paper sign placed above the door that reads "Placement". It's the Job Placement Service; operating at Palomar since October 12. Louise Diener is in charge of this service and is available in her office Tuesday and Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. until further notice. "Thirty per cent of the students that have contacted me," commented Miss Diener, "have been placed in part-time jobs." The service is available for currently enrolled students and graduates of Palomar. This applies to day, night and part time students. The service is an excellent opportunity for students who need and want jobs either now or when they finish Palomar, said Miss Diener.
\ "If I'm to be of any help," she cont-
inued, "I encourage students to come to my office and fill out a student application form. It is only by meeting and talking with the students and finding out their interests that I can place them in a .iob that is connected with their skills." Although there is no guarantee that everyone will get a job, the Job Placement Service is a worthwhile assistance. Another part of the service includes the posting of jobs that are available in this area on the white bulletin board located at the corner of the bookstore. The 1966 Summer Employment Guide is a new book which sells for $2.95 The guide is the largest selling summer employment directory in the nation and includes a wide variety of jobs. To obtain thi~- guide, students can write to B. J. Smith, Circulation Manager, 1750 Pennsylvania Avenue, N. W., Washington, D. C. 20006. Payment must accompany individual orde rs .
looked for the devil in the form of witches and were determined to expel them from this life. ''The Puritans believed God lived literally in the bodies of the elect and the devil lived literally in the bodies of the damned. When a person, claiming to be of the elect, destroyed one of the damned it was not, so he told himself, a conflict between two mortals, but rather it was God working through the elect, destroying the devil who happened to occupy the damned," said Dr. Gordon. · This justified the merciless handings o{ so-called witches relived in the pla:y said to be Miller's most masterful drama. Miller researched the files of history and typified, in his drama, actual accounts of the hysteria and tragedy in Salem. In Puritan society, young girts were allowed only to walkwith their hands folded and their heads bowed. When they received righteous attention by calling honest men and saintly women witches, they were "jangling the keys of the kingdom.'' "Vengeance walks the streets of Salem,'' Proctor protests to the law. The action of these young girls, in part, at least, was a protest against the puritanical restrictions of their society. "It may also have been an effort to gain attention to themselves, and at such times, young people often tend to flirt with whatever society frowns upon most," Dr. Gordon suggested. I rrational religious beliefs and superstition resulted in irrantional accusations and grief.

The headphones for each piano will enable the students o enable the students to play without disturbing anyone else in the room. From thecommunications center, the instructor can work with each student separately or with a whole group of students without inte r rupting the rest of the class. "One big advantage will be to make theory instruction more meaningful and practical ·for our students," stressed Eoward k, Brubeck, head of the music department. "Each student will have a keyboard at his finge rtips to betterunderstand and to experiment with harmonic practices under consideration in the classes, " said he . The piano-theory room will be used for group piano, harmony, and counterpoint classes. Ray Leckie, a cabinet maker from Escondido, has been hired to design and Ray I.
