Draft increases quota
Grades better be what they oughta By TERRY MOON Vietnam may seem to be a vague, distant place to men with a 2-S draft deferment, but for those ranking low in the class, Vietnam may be closer than they think. About 40,000 men were drafted last month and more will be drafted in the future . According to the officials at the Selective Service Board in San Diego, a student deferment will be granted only to those college students who, since high school, have successfully completed a full-time course of instruction and have made normal progress and will complete a four year course of study in four years. This rule, however, is not absolutely rigid; if an accident or a serious illness keeps ·a student from attending school ·the board will take these circumstances into consideration. Definition of a full-time course of study rests with individual colleges, but one must not be a math major to figure out how many units are necessary per semester to attain the right amount per year (including summer school if necessary) for graduation. Rather than resume its threeyear policy of deferring all fulltime students who are passing, the board wlll begin reclassify-

ing to 1-A those with a lower class standing. Freshmen must rank in the upper half of the class , sophomores in the upper two-thirds , juniors in the upper three-fourths, and seniors will be eligible for induction upon graduation. A deferment test will be offered onavo-lunteer basis sometime soon (June or July), but as of February 9, the local draft board has received no official word on these tests. Schools notify the draft board when a student drops below the deferment requirements, however, the draft board makes the final decision. This has all come about due to marked increases in draft quotas during the last six months. On a nation-wide scale, over 40,000 men were inducted last month. Lt. General Lewis B. Hershey, National Selective Service Chief, said that he was actually emharassed by the fact that over fifty per cent of those called by the draft are rejected for physical and/or mental reasons. He said, "In a country such as ours, more than half the young men should be fit for military service." Hershey was also quick to point out that it was the Defense Department that was doing the rejecting and not the Selective Service System. "Congress decides who
is liable for service, the Selective Service beards decide when they will be available, and the Defense Department decides who is acceptable." He went on to say, "I would like to see the standards lowered, but that's because I'm the procurer." Hershey coulct not explain some of the Army rejections of athletes for low intelligence scores or physical ailments that don't seem to hamper their careers. "But you can't measure human beings like you measure potatoes," he said. Recently the passing score in the intelligence tests was lowered to place many men previously classified 1-Y into 1-A. Heav-Yweight boxing champion Cassius Clay is now facing induction because of this change. Hershey was asked if he thought the present deferment s ystem requiring full-time study was discriminating against students working their way through college and being unable to carry a full load. "I feel very bad about part time students," he said, "but we can't allow people to take six or seven years to do what can be done in four . We're deferring people so they can become college graduates, not so they can he college students." There are over 150,000 19year-olds coming up each month

Vets will get _$1 00 a month under ~veterans Readjustment Act of 1966" The United States Congress passed into law a bill that could invest as much as two billion dollars in the education of vererans within the next five years alone. Under the "Veterans Readjustment Benefits Act of 1966" any veteran who has served more than 180 days of active duty since January 31, 1955 may receive $100 a month as a full time student for a maximum of 36 months in school. As a full time student he may receive $25 for each dependent he has, within a total allotment of $150. Part time stud-

This plan requires an investment of over $2 million. This includes a new stadium, theater, gymnasium, auditorium, swimming pool, library, art center and museum. Twenty two acres would be added to the present campus said Assistant Superintendent John D. Schettler. The master plan includes the addition of more than an acre of parking space per year. This is on the basis of 53 cars per 100 students, the present growth rate of Palomar. "Our present library." said Dr. Schettler, "will be to small in four years." The plan calls for a three-story master library . A swimming pools also is in the plans for the immediate future along with $185,000 of athletic facilities.

Board approves land appraiser
Trimester system considered for 1968 or '69 A committee has been appointed with Marjorie Wallace, dean of women, as chairman to plan the trimester system. According to Dean of Admissions, Robert Burton, the trimester system would become effective around 1968 or 1969. A trimester system would mean that s tudents could obtain their AA degrees in a year and a half if they attended school all year round. Twelve weeks would constitute a term and the school would operate on a quarterly basis. · Eventually all the colleges in California will change to a quarter system.
This week is Circle K Week! Kite flying, tug-of-war, tricycle riding contests, will be held in the student union patio.

more than its share of the coming influx of veterans, because, as Dr. Frederick Huber, Palomar president, pointed out, "They can get more mileage out of their allotment at Junio.c college." Dr. Huber said that a marked increase in veterans should come even this summer, boosting enrollment as much as ten per cent in the summer session, since the bill will become effec..tive June 30, 1966. In the fall of 1967, Dr. Huber said, veterans may forseeably add about 100 students to our present student population.
The Palomar Governing Board recently approved the employment of an appraiser to present the board with an estimate of the land value of a 22 acre parcel of land west of the campus . Included in his report of the master plan, Dr. John Schettler, assistant superintendent in charge of business, told the board of the availability of the land ano the uses to which it might be put. Actual purchase of the land has not been discussed by the Governing Board. ''There seems to be pretty strong evidence that we should have the land," said Dr. Frederick Huber, President, but he has not yet made a recommen!.. dation to the board that the land be purchased.
but over 60 per cent are rejected and many more are irt college, so, with the quotaat40,000, some men must be inducted from the two fringe groups. A large number of the rejects classified 1-Y because of minor law violations will be drafted soon to discourage draft worriers from breaking the law to become undraftable. Also, passing scores on the intelligence test have been lowered from 31 to 16; this will make more men 1-A rather than 1-Y. College students who dropped out in the fall semester will probably be among the first to go since the draft board is currently checking on them. Any student who is currently on probation may hear from the draft board by the end pf the semester or during the summer if he doesn't improve his grades . A student not satisfied with his classification may appeal it. Within 10 days he must go to the state board. This board is made up of five people from different areas of the state, they start over at the beginning and classify him as they see fit. If he still isn't satisfied he has an automatic appeal to the national board, from here, if he has a legitimate complaint, he can see the state director, then the national director.

Dr. D. K. Wilgus, Regional Vice President of the California Folklore Society, will speak about Negro Folklore at the Humanities Lecture Friday. By speaking about Negro Folklore, Dr. Wilgus will be deviating from the general theme of the lectures said Joseph Malik, dean of student activities. Dr. Wilgus is an author on the subject of folklore. - He wrote Anglo - American Folksong Scholarship Since 1898, and articles and reviews for publication in magazines. He is also a lecturer, the founder of the Western Kentucky Folklore Archive, and the producer and director of the lJ. C.L, A. Folk Festival. He received his B.A. , M.

"It costs $100 to $200 an hour to operate the Palomar and Mt. Wilson telescopes and some people believe this time and money should be used to explore the more obvious," said Dr. Howard. "But I believe that by exploring the smallest details of the sun and adding up what is found we can ultimately realize our place in the universe with a better perspective,'' he continued. Dr. Howard showed slides of sunspots and their various positions and activities on the surface of the sun. A motion picture was also shown picturing the exploding flares on the sun. "These explosions are more powerful than ten hydrogen bombs," said Dr. Howard. The lecture closed with a question and answer period. Dr. Howard is a member of the American Astronomical Society.

Unequal distribution of ASB vehicles
• •
Certainly, it is not necessary for the ASB Council to go in search of "things to do" this semester. Many needs present themselves bluntly, and each poses a challenge to the Executive Council. ' · One of the foremost problems which the Council will consider at today's meeting is the arbitrarily assigned and unequally distributed ASB vehicles. When a number of departments on the campus wish to use a vehicle at the same time, there is no established. basis for the allotment. If one large department steps forward and reserves all of the vehicles for their own use, every other department is just "out of luck.'' In short, there is no protection for the smaller departments from the monopolies of the larger; nor can short-notice need for a vehicle be satisfied because of the advantages of other departments' ability to schedule months in advance. Essentially, the problem presents two needs. First, the appropriation
of the vehicles for department use must be accomplished on a more equal · basis. The justification for this is the simple fact that the v.ehicles, are purchased by the Board for the use of the school--not the domination of .a large department at the expense of s.maller ones. The second need is for an adjustment and a control of the reservation policy, i.e., the number of months or weeks in the future that any one department might plan vehicle-use while still giving an opportunity to other departments to secure a vehicle. As the situation exists now, any department may reserve vehicles for any date into the future. As a result those departments which are able t~ plan six or eight months ahead have that advantage over the departments which, for various reasons, cannot forsee . the exact dates and times of their future needs. Obviously, this is an unfair advantage in the availability of "everyone's" vehicles!

practical aspects of travel, let me briefly state state some of the more obvious advantage.
Many students have often thought about a trip to Europe, but have never the know-how to complete their desires. Starting next week in the Telescope, I will write a series of articles on Europe and how to get there. The emphasis will be on the student and how to overcome various problems involved in going to Europe. Also, there will be included such subjects as the European way of life, the arts, anci what to do while there. I ow to effectively use this knowledge is just as vital as the subject itself. And, in the present learning situation, it is the student's desire to complete this phase of his education. How? Travel! Europe is a near perfect lab for broadening one's field of· experience. The key to this type of endeavor is variety, and the continent abounds in change, excitement, tragedy, religion, philosophies, and people. In examining some more of the ,

EXPERIENCE FROM PEOPLE Almost everything we deal with in spcial life had its origin in the European countries. For example: schools, religion, literature, art; in fact, almost every subject has some European basis. Equally important is the vast well of experience that is drawn from the people. The observation of their habits, customs, languages, and modes of living is not only informative and useful, but thrilling. Every student should make for himself the opportunity to travel abroad. The experience of travel can be compared to a "finishing" process with respect to one's formal education. Often ln a liberal arts situation, one gains small amounts of information covering a wide variety of specific subjects, but the important aspect of coping with the social situation we find in every day life is not stressed.

Palomar's administrative council appointed a committee to investigate the possibility of having three semesters at Palomar. Should this system be s tar ted at Palomar, the more industrious students could graduate in one and half years and then go on to a college with the same tri-semester plan and finish what would now be four years of study in two and two-thirds years. The system would give other students
RESERVED FAR IN ADVANCE The reason is Quite simple. events, for the most, can be scheduled up to a full year in advance. As soon as the coaches get their schedules, they rush to the administration office and reserve their vehicles--six months, eight months ahead. However, such advance notice is not possible for most other c;iepartments. The science department can plan three or four months ahead at the most. The speech department can only plan one or two months ahead. Often times, the need for a vehicle by student government delegates are known only days ahead. There are good reasons belrlnd most of the limitations to plan in such advance. It should not be a cause of disenfranchisement from school vehicles. USE BY NEED Now, before you atheletes panic, I recognize the need for facilities betther than those we now have for the transportation of large groups. The athletic department should have buses but that is another problem which will be discussed later. The reality is that we don't have adequate transportation, and so, for the present, . the burden must be distribute~. ·, The eqti{tabf~ way to cope with the situation is to balance the inconvenience of having to use private vehicles and d~artment funds . The plan which tne Council will receive today is tentative, pendi~gfurther committee investigation and report. Generally, the -proposed solution will face the two needs as I have presented them. To provide an opportunity for even the smallest department to use a vehicle, the policy would be that no department could use all of the vehicles. Moreover, the number of vehicles which they would be limited to, would depend upon the number of participants in the particular activity. The largest departments might be permitted to use all but one vehicle; the smallest departments would likewise have access to only one vehicle. If at any time, there are vehicles which have not been reserved for the weekend, requesting departments might exceed the appo.rtioned limit, but as such a request would not be honored more than 24 hours prior to the need. Thus, school vehicles are distributed accordin to the degree of need--the number of students to transport. No one deartments have a chance. The slack of unused ve hicles can be adjusted by per· mitttng a department to exceed its limlt, but only within the h ..,t ".4 !

For those students who like school all year around, the idea of a tri-semester system looks favorable. For those who don't favor attending classes twelve months a year, it looks even better.
~CREDIT CARD Still another fact adds to the injustice. If a department can reserve • a vehicle, they also receive a gas credit card and can charge the gas consumption to the college. On the other hand, when a department must use their own private vehicles no credit card is included. The drivers of the private cars are given 8~ per mile--but guess where that comes from? It does not come from the general fund, but from the particular department's own budget! Hence, the big department not only has the bigger budget, but they also get the school vehicles and the free gas. The little guy is stuck. He gets a smaller budget, uses private cars, and pays for the gas himself! Who is this big brother? He is the athletic department. And who is the little guy? He is the geology department and the business department ·(on field trips), the speech department (on debate trips) 1 the student government (at conferences and meetings), and the journalism department (who knows where a journalist goes!) . Every department on the campus is "second" to ~he one.
the opportunity to work one semester. They could do this in the spring or fall rather than the summer thus avoiding the increased number of students seeking summer jobs. Currently if a stude nt has a winter or spring job offering, he is forced to miss that semester and complete only one semester a year. Under the new plan he could still graduate from Palomar in two years. Many colleges and universities will have started this system by fall. From all indications there will soon be a need for a change. Palomar is taking a s tep in the right direction and is conscientously planning to step into the line of progress.

The second problem which a co ~ crete policy must satisfy is the unequal advantages oflong-term planning which permits a jump .for that department in reservation of vehicles. Under the new and equitable system, no department could reserve a vehicle more than two months in advance. Again, the result is that every department is given a more equal opportunity, yet no department is held in suspense until the last minute. Two months notice of availibility should not hinde r any department. The Council is inve stigating and planning to compensate theis problems . No doubt there will be strong advocates and a s trong opposition. It is not only a Council problem, but one for the entire student body to consider. You students e lected your Reps -at Large, now speak to them, and voice your opinion. Let me remind you also, that visitors are encouraged and welcome at the ASB Council meetings. This is only one issue of vital concern to all. Many more will come as the semester progresses.

Big Lew Alcindor, the 7-1 1/2 Bruin behemoth who is billed a s the game's next Wilt CHamberlain, took game scoring honors with 39 points. Guard Lucius Allen added 25 and forward Lynn Shackleford tallied 24. Alcindor, who sat out more than 10 minutes of the game, fell two points s hort of tying the UCLA fro sh career scoring record with his output. He has 537 points for 15 games compared to Ron Lawson's Brubabe mark of 539, s:3t six years ago. Alcindor scored his 39 points on 15 field goals and nine free throws. Alle n, who played the entire second half with four fouls , had 11 buckets and three foul tosses. Allen, whose uncanny passing overshadowed his torrid scoring, burned the Cornets with an unofficial total of 18 assists. Alcindor, getting all his baskets ins ide including numerous dunkers, made 15 of 24 field goal attempts while Allen connected on 11 of 19. Shackleford was also 11- for-19. The Brubabes got down 53 of 100 shots for the game. The Cornets, unable to work the ball inside with any degree of success against Alcindor and his mates, made only 19 of 70 tries.; SHOTS BLOCKED

Women win first game Starting out the season on the right foot, the women's basketball team mangled College of the Desert Wednesday 29-9 in theirfirst victory of the season.

Roberta Brown . carne through with the most goals for Palomar with 9. Palomar's next game is with Mesa College on March 2, here. The team will have had a little more practice together then and s hould come up with another win. As yet, they have only had two or three practices together and many of the team members are new to Palomar this semester. Some outstanding players of the COD game are Lynne McCarthy, roving forward and guard, Roberta Brown, forward, Penny LeVitis, forward, Robin McDonald, Fran Craig and Lucy Corrales.

T he Comets are hurting in the weights after losing Bob Goff to the books and Gene Mills because he has been a part time student for seven semesters. Palomar was al so weakened in the pole vault through the loss of Steve Ruggles.
Dancers enter fa in at half time Dancers in black leotards entertained the half-time crowd at Friday' s Palomar -UCLA game . The terpsichoreans did a jazz interpretation of "Almost Good." The choreography was done by Mildred Ayers, dance instructor. Ten members of the intermediate modern dance class gave the performance. They and the res t of the class will do an interpretation of "John Brown's Body" during the dedication of the Fina Arts Complex later this spring. The choreography will be done by Miss Ayers and the musical score by Howard Brubeck, chairman of the humanities division and music instructor. The final production will include ten dances. A folk dance group also did several numbers during the halftime show. The members of the group are Palomar students and perform at Little Bavaria in San Diego.
Palomar was rarely able to get a good s hot away, most .of the Cornet' s attempts that we re not · blocked corning eithe roffbalance or from outside of the 30-foot range. Ron Blickenstaff, the Cornet's hustling 5-7 guard, was the game's big crowd pleaser as he made steals and interceptions and twice knocked the ball out of Alcindor' s grasp to a Palomar teammate. The Cornets successfully broke t he famed UCLA press by giving the ball to Blickenstaff and c learing out of the way as he brought it across the center line. Blickenstaff made four baskets and five free throws, tyingteammate LeRoy Putnam, for highpoint honors for the losers with 13. Guard Bill Garrison potted ll. Although Putnam, like the rest of the Cornets, ran into serious d ifficulty when he tried to s hoot inside, he hit on four of five field goal tries from outside the top of the free throw cir cle. The Brub~bes stopped Cornet star Chris Stanl ey with only three points by neutralizing his play inside. Stanley al so was whipped badly on the boards for one of the rare times in his career. TIED SCORE UCLA took the lead seven seconds into the game on a threepoint play by Alcindor. The Comets battled back and, as the ove rflow crowd cheered wildly, went on top by 4- 3 on center Wayne Pitcher's tip in with 1:15 elapsed, causing the visitors to call for a quick time out. Shackleford's bucket moved the B rubabes back in fran, 5-4, but Blickenstaff dr illed through a 25 footer with 17:42 left to give the Cornets a 6-5 l e ad. Stanl ey's free throw gave Palomar its "biggest" bulge of the night, 7-5. UCLA hit for fou r successive points, after which Blickenstaff dropped through two free throws to tie it t 9-9. The Brubabes went over 50 points with 5: 20 left in the first half on Allen' s l ay-in. His hoot shot put them over the century mark at 100-46 with 8:09 to play in the game.

IThe last bell ~I The sinister age of the long, black eyelash is upon us. Clearly a post war phenomena, some perverse Mendelian law apparently went into effect to produce a whole generation o,f female eyelashes of uniform length and color and densitv. Post war babies, the sociologists used to call these chicks. Long since hatched, they have gotten their wings and have fluttered, feathery eyelashes and all, onto the nation' s campuses. Palomar has not escaped. None of us red-blooded American college boys are going to protest a feathery eyelash here
ASB
or there, but it just isn't natural for every last living girl to have feather, black (inky), 180 degree arc, one-and-oneeithth-inch-long eyelashes. How does one account for this unnatural uniformity? Well, not many people believe in pre-natal influence any more. But we may have to revise our so-called scientific thinking~ There is a stron possibility that the mothers of this generation of chicks were frie;htened by Fuller Brush salesmen. It was right after the war ~hat the organization found itself overstocked on feather dusters. Fuller's head buyer is no longer
with the company, but that does not alter the situation we face today. Another possibility is that it was the bomb. However you try to account for this feathery phenomena, you find yourself right up against a vary ticklish situation. Who would not be suspect if he went around yelling that something has upset the eyelash chromosomes in a whole generation of women? . The fact is, if we didn't live in an age of chromomes and amino acid, a fellow would be temptee to suggest that these females all came off some be-feathered assembly The eyelashes waving around here aH seem to have the same part number.

instead of
punishment for draft offenders That draft offenders be punished only through the courts of law, and not by Selective Service reclassification of draft status is the gist of a resolution passed by the ASB Council last Monday. This resolution will be taken to the Area One conference at Imperial Valley College February 25. If the resolution is passed at the Area level, it will be voted upon at the State Conference of the California Junior College Student Government Association in San Diego this spring. Area One is composed of the seven area schools, including Mesa, Grossmont, Southwestern, Palomar, Mira Costa, San Diego City and San Diego Evening Colleges . These schools work to-
get her consolidating coordinating recommendations, resolutions ideas, and other material to be handled at the state level. Student government representatives of each school meet monthly to consider the resolutions and recommendations . After being passed at the state l evel, resolutions are taken to the junior college lobbyists at the state le gislature where they are brought to the attention of the legislators. THE RESOLUTION READS: Whereas: the levying of justice in America is reserved to the judicial sys tem as provided for in the constitution and established by legis lation; Whereas: there is evide nce that the Selective Service Board has exceedep its
authority by using Selective Service for punitive action; Whereas: such imposition of punishment by an administrative agency is potentially detrimental to our judicial system and to the constitutional rights of our people, and should be carried out according to accepted due process of law under the atrthority of the courts and not by the selective service agency, T herefore, be it resolved: that the SJCSGA go on record as favoring a cone rete and outlined policy for the classification of students; and be it further resolved:that the CJCSGA go on record as favoring a punishment of draft offenders only through the courts of law, and not by Selective Service reclassification of draft status.

He says he tell tor gramma because she had eyelashed that could sweep the cobwebs out of a man's heart. But that wasn't enough.

"It's interesting work." said Linda Jenkins. She came here with Mrs. Coulter in 1955. "I enjoy meeting the students ana watching their progress through college and into their chosen professions." "The cafeteria staff feels it is a privilege to serve the students . " said Mrs. Coulter. "In most cases the students are patient and courteous. We would however, appreciate it if the students would keep the dishes and trash picked up more than in the past. This is one of our biggest problems."

eighth-inch-long lashes. Clearly nature has turned against us in a malignant something-or-other. The time has come for old fashioned, many-color, vari-length, eyelash lovers to unite. 6nce united, we must use every technique at our disposal to lash out against eyelash uniformity. Protest marches will urge the use of scissors for altering lengths. we will crusade for even the reduction of that maddeningly odd eighth of an inch. Our marchers will preach the application of bleaches and dyes for varying hue. we will develop and patent some ingenious device to uncurl some of that maddening 180 degree arc. Besides the marches, we will

Supposing strontium 22 is soaking into the female eyelash bones of this unsuspecting post war generation, causing this long, black, unvarying mutation. What then? Facing this frightful possibility, we shall not abandon the cause. We shall simply give effective counter action a· slightly different thrust. We shall all join the ban-the-bomb crowd, consecrating our scissors and dye to the construction of suitable placards . "Ban the Blinking Bomb," will be our battle cry.
