Parking solution being studied Parking space for vehicles is one of Palomar's most obvious problems and one which is going to be solved according to Dr. John Schettler, assistant superintendent in charge of business and member of the Masterplan Committee. In September pf 1965 there were 1,179 parking spaces on campus of which 124 were faculty parking areas. This left 1,055 spaces for student vehicles. Steps to extend the number of parking spaces will come with an addition of a parking lot north of the new music and art buildings. This parking lot will be primarily for faculty parking, thus releiving 30 spaces in front of the administration building for student parking. Another new parking lot north of the campus and east of the maintenance building will accomodate 125 vehicles . There are presently nine acres ofparking space including areas along sides of streets on this campus. In planning for additional parking, the Masterplan Committee is estimating a need of one parking place for every two students. With an expected growth of 300 additional students per year, there will be a requirement of 150 spaces per year. Because 125 cars can park on an acre lot, l. 2 acres per year will be needed for parking. Continued on page 4
Spring semester sees new classes Approved last year and offerred only during the spring semeste r is History10, covering California and the transMississippi West. The course, taught by Dr. Gordon, will be offered only to students who have completed History 7-A and 7-B or with permission of Dr. Gordon. The course will be " ... something to breach the gap between the completion of History 7-A and Band is a-continuance of American history when he (the student) goes on to upper division work," stated Dr. Gordon. The first half of the semester topics dealing with the trans-Mississippi West will be covered, suc h as the mountain men, the range cattle industry, and the Morman migration. California history will be dealt with in the second half. The subject was Dr. Gordon's field of study for his Ph. D.

Political science Instructor enters Assembly race Roy R. (Pat) Archer, political science ins tructor, is holding a press confere nce today in Vista to officially announce his Democratic candidacy for St ate Assembly of the 80th District. Since he came to this college two and a ha lf years ago, Archer has taught more s tudents at one time than any othe r Palomar instructor: All of Palomar College District lies within the 80th District with LaJolla and North County cities contributing the majority of the population. In an exclus ive interview with the TELESCOPE , Archer stat ed that he believes the legal voting age should be lowered to 18. "Many 18 year olds are as intelligent . as 60 year olds. Many 18 year olds pay more taxes than 60 year olds. I believe the ir (18 year olds ) educational background, particularly here in the State of California, qualifies them to vote," said Archer. Archer suggests a complete revision of the California Constitution, which is t he third longest in the world. Unlike the Federal Constitution, the California Constitution "is inflexible and does not change with the times, "explained Arc her. California has the largest state government, hires more employees, and has a larger budget than any of the 50 states, Archer said. The state legislature is allowed to meet five months out of 24 months. "Five months is not e nough time in this day and age, I would suggest that we have a continuous meeting legis lature and in addition, I think that we should increase the salary of the s t ate legislator which is only $6,000 a year. As a result of the low salary and the five month period only certain types of people want to be s tate legislators, such as lawyers and farmers who can
afford to be away from their jobs ," Archer s aid. Archer believes that the purely adminis trative positions of the executive branch, suc h as secretary of state, controller, attorney general, should be appointed by the governor. Archer believes the superintendent of public instruction s hould be appointed by the Boar d of Education. If elected, Archer would promote a state park centrally located in the North County. "I believe, because of my past experie nce and because of my education, I can provide adequate representation for the people. My political science background has prepared me to run,'' ass ured Archer. If elected, he plans to continue teaching at Palomar. He feels the information and e ducation from the legisl ature will be valuable to him as an instructor. " I have learned a great deal just by entering the race," confided Archer. A major problem Ar cher is encountering is his lack of finances . In an exclusive statement to the Telescope, Archer said that he has been advise d that $10,000 is needed for an effective campaign. "I'm going to have to depend upon individual contributions, " disclosed Arche r. Archer resides at 834 Goldenrod St. , Escondido, with his wife, Oralee, their son Kraig, three and daughter, Shawnna, one . He is in his third year at Palomar where he formed both the Young Republicans and Young De mocrat club~;~. After receiving his BA Degree and his Masters Degree from West Virginia Arche r transferr ed to the University of California at Berkeley where he completed two years of gradua te study toward his PhD.

It's a shame that McLean's qualifications this has been promised every semester President at San Die_guito High for two and no candidate has ever followed years; Vice President of San Dieguito junior class for two semesters; one through with this platform. There is also a $70,000 ASB budget which has to of t,he founders of the Student Congress be allocated by the Council. This will at San Dieguito, received a $100 scholarship at Palomar Honors Day in require experience and efficient government.

McLean is running for President because, "I think that Paul Herz and I, and the rest of the Forum Party will provide the leadership necessary to make Palomar a truly vital academic community," he said.
Vice president BOB HICKS In .summary, an effective Council is not going to have to limit itself to an itemized platform," said Hicks. Hicks is running for ASB President because, "I have been on the Council and seen inefficiencies for the past three semesters. It's about time the Council reali zed its full potential and responsibilities." Hicks' qualifications are as follows : President of the Young Republicans for one year; President of Phi Rho Pi, the honorary speech fraternity; Judicial Chairman; Freshman representative on the ASB Council for one semester; Executive Council Parliamentarian for one semester; Representative at the State California Junior College Student Government Convention member of the Area 1 Steering Committee forthel966 CJCSGA convention; President of his Freshman and Sophomore classes in high school; Freshman Class representative in high school; and representative to the Tri-High school student council. According to Ian McLean, who is running as a member of the Forum Party, "The major issue in this campaign is that the Executive Council has not been exe rcising its first general power to its fullest extent. Its first general power, as stated in the ASB Constitution Article Ill, Section 2 is to promote the general welfare of the aseociated students. This covers
Vice -presidential candidate for the Forum Party is Paul Herz . Herz is running for Vice- president because, "I live c lose to school and therefore I'm interested in what goes on on campus. With this interest, I sincerely feel that I and the Forum Party will endeavor to promote more leadership between the students and the Council, something which has been gravely lacking throughout the past semesters. I've seen the lack of interest of the students and I've wondered why there wasn't more communication between the Council and the students to have, in effect, a closer bond between the two, "Herz explained. Herz' qualifications are as follows: Vice -president of the ASB and Chair- , man of the Student Senate his senior year of high school while in New York, "'.nd a Regents College Scholarship from the state of New York, but "preferred to come to California to take advantage of the excellent junior college system." Walt Ridlon is running for Vice- president as an independent. The major issue in this election according to Ridl on is, " efficient government." Ridlon is running as an independent because, "I don't think that parties have had the best interests of the school in · mind. I've been on the Council for three semesters and the election of party members has not, in my opinion, offered any advancement in good government. The platforms that have
been suggested by parties are rarely fulfilled. If I am elected, I plan to work very closely vrith the President. Instead of merely being the chairman of the I.C.C. meetings, I intend to assist the President in his many duties as he will allow me. I'd like to see the use of more strict parliamentary procedure at Council meetings. Council meetings in the past have been very informal and not efficiently planned. With the use of parliamentary procedure the Council can expedite matters and accomplish more in less time." said Ridlon. Ridlon states, "In running for Vicepresident , I hope to make Palomar's student government more respected by the students and faculty. I feel that this can only be done by the actions of serious minded, qualified people.'' Ridlon has been Freshman President of the Athletic Commission and Sophomore Class President.
Secretary Rosalie Atilano is running as a member of the Forum Party for the office of Secretary. " I want to gain more experience in student government. I feel the minu tes could be more complete. To accomplish this, I plan on taking dictation as verbatim during~ the Council meetings. After the transcription of the minutes they will be mimeographed and will be available for distribution. If elected Secretary, I would like the minutes distributed throughout the campus so that the studentbody will be aware of what is taking place in THEIR student government,'' said Miss Atilano. Her qualifications are as follows : At present she is student assistant for Dr. Frederick Huber, she was enrolled for four years in the office training program at Escondido High and is presently enrolled in the occupations courses at Palomar; student assistant four years at EHS to the administrative staff; secret ary for the Palomar Newman Club Leadership Convention, and Social Chairman for the Newman Club.

IAN Mc LEAN Incumbent Gail Cummings is seeking re-election this semester for the office of Secretary. The 19 year old sophomore is running for office because she thinks that " ... every student should take part in student government; because ... the students have responsibilities and one of these responsibilities is to participate. " Gail feels that there i s not as much participation in the election this year as last. She also feels that the campaigns are not "... as extensive as last year's. Maybe people have not gotten into the 'swing of things,"' she commented. Gail not only has served as ASB Secretary this semester, but also as Secretary for various clubs and classes at Vista High. She is running on the

AHention or a little more standing in the nearest third of the building before I could understand what was bein said. This means that 66% of those in the student union were unable to hear whethe r they wanted to or not. Similarily, the campaign speeche s rate d little attention. Perhaps the students were discussing the merits of the speakers, but somehow I doubt it. Students should realize that there are other students who are interested in the announce ments and are trying to listen, and that no matter how hard they try to hear, they ' can't because someone near them is loudly chattering away. I am sure that no conversation is so important that a brief interruption is going to effect the lives of the talkers. The only way it could effect them is to make them more aware of campus functions and to make others realize they have courtesy. And perhaps listening yesterday would have given them the ability to case a r e sponsible vote tomorrow in the election.
Carol Tilley named Sweetheart of month On January 3, the members of Circle K chose Carol Tilley as their January "Sweetheart." Carol, a slender girl of 5' 7", has brown hair and blue eyes.
A 1964 graduate of San Dieguito High s!le is fini~hing her third semester at Palomar. A social science major, Carol is working toward a teaching credential. A member of the recently formed COORS Political Party, Carol has been active in campus activities. She was kept very busy this fall as she headed the Homecoming activities. When informed of her selection by Circle K Vice-President Kim Brown, all Carol could manage to say was, "Are you kidding me?" Brown stated that "Carol's selection was based on all the hard work she did as Homecoming Chairman. It was a wonderful job. She was also chosen for her steady activity in student government. Carol is always into something. " After leaving Palomar, Carol plans to go to San Jose State and there obtain a B. A. and her teaching credential.

by PENNY HILL Trying to listen to the speeches in the student union yesterday was almost as difficult as hearing a pin drop in a cattle stampede. The attention that has been paid not only to the c·a ndidates but also to other speakers this year is horrifying. It shows a lack of courtesy and is furthermore embarrasslngfor the speaker. Recently I was sitting at one of the tables at lunch, engaged in conversation with some friends. I saw a speaker approach the stand at the front of the student union and begin to announce a rescheduled club meeting. By the time he had finished making the other announcements , I felt lucky that I was able to get the gist of the first notice. Those around me were so busily communicating with each other that they didn't have time for the speaker. Inspired, I decided to see how close one pad to get to the speaker's rostrum before one could make out what the speaker was saying. I started at the back of the student union and was

ON THE BOOKSHELF Reviewed by Jim McNutt Screwtape Letters is a supposed collection of letters from Screwtape to a Junior devil named Wormwood. In this review Screwtape and Wormwood discuss the publication of Screwtape's lette rs. Dear Uncle Screwtape, As an inexperienced member of the Lowe rarchy, I have just made a terrible discovery: The Enemy has acquired and ·published our e ntire intimate correspondence. They used the direct and damning title "Screwtape Letters". As a minor tempter yet striving for his first soul, I conside r this a notable discovery of spectacular wickedness, but not the kind I would wish to report. The only cause we have to be at peace is that the lette rs we re published some time ago. Perhaps at this date we can just ignore the frightful event. Your faithful nephew, Wormwood My dear Wormwood, I have had one of the Thorns here in the office do some checking on the alleged publication of our lette rs. Unfortunately, your report is as accurate as Hell. However, yourinsensitivityto significant detail continues to··oe fatal failing. The fact that our letters were originally published nearly 25 years ago is irrelevant. We cannot let sleeping worms lie, for "Screwtape Letters" has become a c elebrated minor classic . Here in Britain, and in the US, the book has gone through more than 40 editions. But the point is, dear nephew, that when our Father Below looses ground it is because of incompetent devils like you. I ask you, if our correspondence was acquired by the Ene my 25 years ago, why is the loss only now being reported? Your affectionate uncle, Screwtape

King
Dear Uncle Screwtape, The situation is indeed graver than I had thought. And as usual, I do not expect you to shield me from the consequences of my inefficiency. However, as you may have lear ned, it was not the Enemy Himse lf who discovered our le tters . It was a popular Oxford don named C. S. Lewis. By some means he r efuses to divulge, he acquire d our cor r esponde nce file . But y ou c annot blame me . His fall from athe is m into the clutches of the Enemy had nothing to do with me . It is true I let my fi r st clie nt slip through my fingers , but not Lewis . He was never assigned to me. I neve r heard of him. Your faithful nephew, Wormwood My dear Wormwood, More's the pity that you have never heard of C. S. · Lewis . I suppose you·r colle ague Glubnose neve r heard of him, nor did any ofthe other Disgraces . Well, he has a long r ecord down here and we lost him to the Enemy through incompetance just such as yours. He is a heretic . An intellectual , he affirms that logic drove him over to the Enemy's side against his own will. Contrary to what you mi ght have wished, his influence has been considerable. Even His Immincence heaved a sigh of relief at our briefing about your belated discovery. I explained that Lewis has been dead now for nearly two years, and where he is they aren't expected to publish another book. We
are fortunate indeed that of the 30 books Lewis did write, many of them are mere critical classics of medieval and Renaissance literature. Your affectionate Uncle, Screwtape My dear Uncle Screwtape, Already I am beginning to feel more like my awful self. I had heard that this fellow was the most influential spokesman for Christianity in the English speaking world. But if he was an intellectual, we should pretty much be able to discount his influence. The masses don't pay much attention to his kind. Anyway, he can't speak with authority. He never took a seminary course in his life. Your faithful nephew, Wormwood My dear Wormwood, I was able to teach you little in Temptors College, and it seems you have learned nothing since. Your capacity for stupidity seems infinite. This heretic Lewis is dead, but we cannot dismiss him. By now, even you must have observed humans reading "'Screwtape Letters". And they will continue to read it as other editions like MacMillans 172 page paperback sit smoking in supermarkets and drug stores, If past experience has taught us anything, we may reasonably assume that some people will overcome their wonderf)ll bias against religious subjects and fork over 95~ for the book. No, can we ignore this man Lewis, nor hi.s documented expose of our tactics. Instead, we must play up the fact that it is a witty presentation. In this fashion, people will be amused and laugh the whole thing off, never realizing he was dead serious . We must encourage people to believe that he was really only a cheap popularizer of orthodox theology --- an amateur theologian who could not possibly know what he was talking about. Your affectionate uncle, Screwtape My dear Uncle Screwtape, Your advise, as usual, is fiendishly wise. But putting it into practice is another matter. My present young client accidentally came across "Screwtape Letters" in his college book store, of all places. His English instructor told him it was "'a minor masterpiece of religious prose." My client, in his blindness, is getting sucked into the rotton heart of our letters. He actually thinks Lewis has twisted their content in order to help people (as Lewis says) "'to face the facts--to understand the questions Christianity claims to anwer." Your faithful nephew, Wormwood P. S.: could you arrange, uncle, for t he Infernal Revenue Office to transmit the small sum of US$ . 95 (plus tax)? I want to get a copy of "Screwtape Letters" for myself, and I don't want to arouse suspicion by stealing it. My need for the book is practical. Even though I have gained some field experience by now, I feel I could profitably go over the letters again. They seem to be missing from my files .
•Imagine that I am your tribual king and you are my tribual members," requested · Charles E. King at the assembly Friday. "Now then, repeat after me;..- Aha ta ta lei, Aha ta ta lei." The audience answered back and with the addition of voice inflections and a rythmic pattern the. room began to sway to the tribual chant. "You know the first time l heard Elvis Presley sing I thought he was some member of a primitive Baptist Church of Negroes," noted King, "'because this is the kind of music you'll hear if you go to their churches." King feels that the best jazz music comes from primitive churches. The people are inspired by the things that have happened in life. The lyrics in blues really doesn •t say much but leaves it up to the imagination of the listener to give it a meaning. King visited Africa and his discoveries were, perhaps, a worthwhile experience to those he shared them with at the assembly as well as to himself. "I had certain fears before going to Africa but after being among the people, my fears disappeared. I discovered the people to be loving, kind and receiving." King added "the spirit you go in, what you are expecting, is what you will receive." King went on to tell the differences in cultures of how the people thought he was superstitious because he boiled the water before using it. He gave an example of the misunderstanding Americans have of the illiteracy amoung primitive natives . His two adopted daughters are a good example; after tutoring them in the US it was discovered that they had IQ's of 130 and 132. King feels that "musically, when you have spmething in common, something _you can both feel, you discovered a pew horizon with the rossibility of a new relationship between everyone. The influence of music (is probably) one of the great factors to bring unity to the diversity of ideas." To share the diversity of music, King sang, in his deep cl9ar voice, a classieal spiritual •Deep River." The audience participated in the next number, "Now Let Us Sing". In need of a piano player, King called upon the audience and John Morgan came forth ~o accompany him. The responsive audidetlce sang out under the direction of King, who walked back and forth tapping his foot; a large grin on his face. · "what a creative audience you are" was his reaction when the number was through. Perhaps he had accomplished what he felt the whole idea of this assembly was for. "Oh Lord, Oh My Lord," a song to sing when you're feeling low, was his next number. Following was another singalong number, "'Kumblya", which was supposedly the closing song. A request from the audience to sing "Old Man River" brought King back on stage and he finished the number to a loud round of applause . This was King's third performance at Palomar. The noted soloist and musical comedy star has appeared in such stage hits as "Show Boat", "Kiss Me Kate", •Porgy" and many others. He has been featured on the Ed Sullivan television show and with Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts, and also in the movie, CARMEN JONES.
Finals A new system for administering finals is going into effect starting January 20. Under the new schedule, finals will be taken from 8 to 11 a.m. and from 1 is an exception, for examinations are scheduled at 8 p.m., 11 a.m., and 2 p.m. This new system prevents students from having three finals on one day. •If any student has three exams on the 21st, he should contact his instructor or myself," stated Virgil Bergman, dean of instruction.

Election cardDates stcte plctform objectives COORS BY KAY REX Last semester with the birth of the Campus Organization of Reforms party, commonly referred to as Coors, Palomar saw a hard-fought campaign marked by enthusiasm. The efforts put forth in this election resulted in a far better than average turn out, and Charlie Hoadley, a Coors member, was given the distinction of being the first write-in candidate to win an election in Palomar's history. In an editorial, the TELESCOPE questioned whether the enthusiasm shown in this election was ''A sign of more student interest? more participation? More election organization?" It was all three, plus a genuine interest by candidates in student government. Now Coors is back, ready again to put spirit on the Council. Campus Organization of Reforms has not outlined numerous details as its platform, it prefers to , as in the past, promise to do its be st in improving student activities, par ticipation, and communications . Experienced membe rs running for re-election on the Coors ticket are Gail Cummings for Secretary, Kay Rex for Treasurer, Carole Olson for Sophomore Representative, and Sheryl Roberts for Freshman Representative. Quoting Glen Bailey, a Coors member elected as President last fall, "I think that the party (Coors) is destined for success. We all hope to work as a unit to bring student government to Palomar." You have a vote and it's your responsibility to use it, but while you're at it--vote Coors . FORUM
BY IAN MCLEAN
The members of the Forum Party are certainly pleased with the generally favorable studentresponsetoour philosophy and objectives. There has been an overwhelming support shown among the students to whom we have spoken for the institution of a student forum on campus. Although there has been an equally substantial agreement offered for our suggestions as to how it should be maintained and operated, they ha•:e met with some disagreement from my opponent for president, Bob Hicks. Bob indicated at the January 6th meeting of the Inter-club Council, to whom we both delivered campaign talks, that he felt it improper that the student forum be operated by the ASB Executive Council. He felt that its operation did not fall within the jurisdiction of the Executive Council and that such a Forum should be managed by some club or organization, mentioning as specific example, the Young Republicans and the Young Democrats . The Forum Party must heartily disagree with Mr. Hicks on this issue for the following reasons:
Elections
•••
1. That the student council has the authority to operate such a student forum is provided for in Art. III, Section 2a. of the ASB Constitution which reads: Section 2. The executive Council shall have the following powers: a. To promote the general welfare of the Associated Students. The Forum Party feels that such a Forum is certainly in the best interest of Palomar students and can, hence, be legitimately handled by the student Council . 2. To place such a forum in the hands of a pa rticula r club might prove to be a misfortune if that club, for one reason o r another, ceased to exist. The Executive Council is an instituted body which will continue to exist as long as s tudent governme nt exists at Palomar, and if the F orum proves to be successful, under the auspices of the Executive Council, it will also exist. 3. Placed in the hands of one particular club or organization, the student forum might lose much of its purpose because of the particular partisan influence that might be demonstrated in the manner in which it is managed. This would be less likely to occur, were it in the hands ofthe Executive Council. The Forum Party sincerely encourages you to vote in this coming election : VOTE FORUM.

What do we ever see accomplished as a r esult of political platforms? I have seen four presidential elections at Palomar--each with enumerated lists of propose d actions--but never have I seen a platform executed after the election! Candidates in every election tend to a void telling the student body HOW they will execute their platforms. Instead, they merely float into office amid superficial promises which are easily discarde d at an early date. Once again in this election, you will have any number of platform issues to consider--but what does that mean? The mechanics of HOW the potential president plans to preside over the Executive Council is ofprimaryimportance, yet it is too often ignored by the candidates. Permit me to make a platform promise of HOW I WILL operate the Student Council efficiently and effectively: 1. U s e of P arliamentary Procedure 2. Provide an outline of responsib-. ilities for Committee Chairmen 3. Require continual progress reports from Chairmen 4. Continual and aggressive prodding of Committees to action 5. Correspondence , minutes, and treasury records kept current and neatly filed .
6. Promotion of enthusiasm within the Council 7. And finally, 'Great Expectations' from ·every member of the Council This then, is a platform based on the real issues, not a series of tinsel promises. With a workable government, we will have no reason to limit our effectiveness to the issues of one party or another. Every one ofthemhavesome good ideas and none of these should be excluded. I would rather accept a responsibility to the other extreme: Total commitment to all that is possible for the Student Council to accomplish, and all that is best for Palomar.

spring registration As of last Thursday 900 current students had enrolled for the spring semester. It is expected that this will be the largest enrollment for a spring semester. All registration should be completed by January 26. "One of the features of the present registration system is that th~ p~iority system has been abolished; 1t 1s now first come-first serve", stated Robert Burton dean of administration. Burton also dommented that the registration plan is far superior to that of last year. It is the school's wish to be as efficient as possible and keep the red tape minimized, said Burton. Students who have not yet registered are urged to do so. Students who are currently attending the fall semester should secure registration materials from Mrs. Norrine Gearheart in the Student · Personnel Office, check the College Catalog for general or specific requirements, fill out a Student Study Program, see faculty advisor and counselor, and report to the checkout station. Official registration for the spring semester is then compl.ete. . Those registering for the flrst tl~e should go to the administration off1Ce, see a counselor, and check with faculty advisor before completing registration on January 27. Faculty advisors will be in the student union on Thursday, Jan. 27.
The "White Knight's" wild ride was one of the highlights in this year's campaigning so far, as the mysterious rider paraded the campus .

Open speech tourney An intramural speech tournament February 11, open to any Palomar student, is sponsored by Phi Rho Pi, honorary speech fraternity. "An open speech tournament will give students an opportunity who otherwise might not be able to participate in college forensic actbe able to participate in college forensic activities,'' said Leonard Avila, tournament chairman. "The tournament will give students a chance for educational competition on campus. This will give students a chance to express themselves on subjects within the categories," commented Avila.
Treasurer Battling for the office of Treasurer are Kim Mitterling, Forum Party, and Kay Rex, Coors. Kim, a sophomore from Fallbrook, is interested in promoting the issues stated on the Forum platform. ''As a candidate for treasurer I feel that on campus there is not enough communication between the treasurer and the students. Unfortunately the students don't know where their $76,000 is going. Consequently I feel it is important for the students to know where this money is going," stated the candidate. ''If the student body sees fit to elect me treasurer, I would like to inform the student body of the functions of the treasurer not stated in the constitution. Also, as a candidate, and if elected, I would like to publish with the help of an effective Budget Committee, a list of expenditures very two weeks, again so that the students know where their money is going,'' she continued. ." One of the major issues in the campaign is the use of all powers enumerated and implied in the constitution," she explained. She believes that there is a definite need to change the present policy of the treasurer and feels that " ... the treasurer should use all the powers at his-disposal even though they have not been used by past treasurers." Kay Rex, Coors candidate for Treasurer and now serving as Sophomore Rep at Large. feels that by running for Student Body Offices one can " ... develop a well-rounded personality and leadership qualities . " Kay enjoys working with people and participated. in campus activities such as Homecommg and the Christmas formal. Currently she heads the elections committee . The 19-year old candidate feels that "There are some things I would like to have done for the school, so why not
get in and try to do them?" Some of these things are "mainly do my best possible at what ever comes up at Council." Kay also feels that the turn-o~t for ele ctions depends on the campaigning. If it is a good campaign and arouses interest, the students will take an interest and vote. This concept is prominent in the Coors philosophy and promoting it is the main objective of her campaign.
Representative at Ia rge Crista Gillette, who is running for the office of Representative at Large, states, "I am running independently because I felt\. I had to dissociate myself from the party with which I was previously affiliated bec ause I cannot agree with certain of their objectives. I feel that with my experience as editor of the newspaper and the attendantpos. ition I held on the Student Council, I would be able to effectively make known the wishes of my constituents. 1 want to see the Council take a more positive direction under new leadership. There are many as yet unex.plored areas in which the ASB Counc1l could exert its authority to the betterment of the entire student body," said Miss Gillette. Miss Gillette's qualifications are Editor of the Telescope, Council Represe ntative for one semester, andpublicity chairman for Alpha Gamma Sigma, scholastic honor society. Pat McArdle, who is running for Representative on the Forum Party ticket, said that she was running because, " F irst, I would like to hold .-n office in the student body, and also l think that since nobody else is running, some one should run. Since I am on the Forum Ticket, I would like to help promote the aims of the Forum Party, which are to create a little more inte rest in s c holaaticand national and international events" She is more in-

terested in the betterment of the school than in the promotion of fun on campus. Pat feels that if elected, she would try to help the Forum Party put the elections on a basis of debatable issues. She feels that it would imporve the campaign to have a set of issues stated before the election and have something for the candidates to work from. Currently Pat is serving as a member of the Judicial Committe. She was an ASB Representative for two years in high school and also vicepresident of her senior class at the Academy of the Little Flower. Pat is an 18 year old freshman from Vista. Carole Olson is the other student running for Repr~sentative at Large. Carole, from Encinitas, is running so that she may contribute to the betterment of the college. As a Coors candidate, she feels that a major issue in the campaign is trying '' ... to obtain better communication between the students and the ASB Council and also being concerned about the way the publicity has been handled." As a Representative this semester, Carole has endeavored to get better turnouts for the elections and to make the students aware of for whom they are voting. So far Carole feels that "It is a very good campaign. There is a lot of friendly competition and everyone is working hard for their cause." If re-elected this semester, Carole will continue to try to get in contact with other schools to exchange ideas with them and imporove the campus. "I'd like to see more enthusiasm toward student government and school functions," she concluded. The 19 year old candidate has worked this semester on various social events, including the Christmas Formal and Homecoming. She has attended several Area 1 conferences through which she has gotten several ideas from other schools. She is also the student reppresentative to the Patrons of Palomar.
Sheryl Roberts, the Coors candidate for freshman Representative,lis an is year old Fallbrook student. Sheryl ' is also on the Jucicial Committee, being secretary of that body. She is currently a Representative at Large and would like to continue serving in that capacity. She is active in· AWS and was largely responsible for the AWS wig show earlier this semester. "I don't see how anyone can go to a college and do nothing but attend classes, " she asserted. "I think everyone should contribute something." To her, participating in student government is a very important contribution. Better communication between the Council and students and better publicity are what she feels are the major goals in the campaign. Her personal objectives are "To see more participation from the freshman class in activities and to improve the communication between the freshman class and the Council through her position.

It contains about 100 photographes, several features, and student interviews. The size of the Fall edition is 9 1/2 inches by 13 inches.
Master Plan Continued from page 1 "Additional spaces for 1967 andyears following are going to be expensive and will take a considerable amount of time to develop," said Dr. Schettler. In 1966 there will be a $227,000 automobile mechanic facility built on campus. The price, which includes equipment as well as the building, will be two-thirds financed by the state of California Bond Issue of 1964 and onethird through local funds. The Masterplan Committee consisting of faculty members, has been meeting periodically since November 1. The committee includes John Barlow, Virgil Bergman, Charles Coutts, Dr. Joseph Gordon, James Keesee, Ward Myers, Esther Nesbin, Dr. John Schettler, and James Soules. The committee has been studying plans of buildings now in use to deterimine what total !. utility can be obtained in them. The committee will determine what kind of new buildings will be needed, and at what intervals in the growth of the college. Speculation of campus needs which have been made by the committee include an auditorium with a 2, 500 seating capacity, a small theatre, expanded outdoor physical education facilities, and a larger library. The library, with 1970 the tentative construction date, would be situated above the student union on the area which is now used as parking space. This would probably be the last library built at Palomar and would be multistoried, according to Dr. Schettler. Outdoor physical education facilities would include a stadium, track, and possibly a baseball diamond situated in the undeveloped land north of the campus. "We always ,. have ten times the ideas than money to cover them, but I suppose it's better to be that way than in the opposite situation," Dr. Schettler concluded.
