Palomar selected to participate in USN pilot education program Beca113e of a new national program, Palomar will be the object of national attention for two years. This outside interest is the result of the Na-vy's pilot "Associate Degree Completion Program." Seventy-five Navy career men have been placed in three colleges throughout the United States--Palomar, Mt. Sa:1 Antonio, and Wentworth in Boston. The object of the program is to see if two years of college training will inspire men to stay in the Navy for longer periods of time. The program was developed from one of six major proposals made by the Naval Personnel Study Committee to the Secretary of the Navy. Theoretically, these programs would help the retention aspect of Navy training.

Palomar was chosen mainly for two reasons, reported Lieut. D. K. Chogos, temporary Navy representative to Palomar. Probably the most influential factor is that Capt. Charles Coatts, department head of science and technology, goes on active duty for the Navy every summer teaching in a Navy school. Coutts' reputation in Washington as well as Palomar's record brought Capt. Bill Upshaw from the Bureau of Naval Personnel on campus to appraise the school. He was so pleased with Palomar, Lieut. Chigos stated, that he said he would continued page 2, col. 1
Palomar's Associated Women Students will start off Palomar's social year with their "Get-Acquainted" Dance September 17. The Saturday evening dance will be held in the student union, starting at 8:00 and ending at 12:00. Edy and the Showmen will be the featured band. The group is now rated number-one in San Diego. Admission is free to all ASB card holders and $1.00 for non-Palomar guests. Since it is an AWS-sponsored event, the organization requests that girls wear skirts and blouses and that ooys wear shirts and slacks. Not only is this the first dance, but it is also the first in a series of social activities that clubs and the ASB Council will be sponsoring. The purpose is to interest students in more than the scholastic aspect of college life, to engage them in various college activites.
nearly 600 students stayed for the council's "Welcome" program. Entertainment for this was provided by the Jagged Edge, a Vista rock and roll band. While the band was performing, students circulated around the patio, visiting organizations booths that were staffed by club officers explaingthepurpose and objectives of their organizations. About 12:00 an assembly was called in the student union. After introducing the '66-'67 Student Council, ASB President Steve Wozniak turned the meeting over to Vice President Mike Umphries who presented the advisors and officers of campus organizations. The new cheerleaders were then introduced and the meeting adjourned for a luncheon and more entertainment by the Jagged Edge. Approximately 300 students remained for the meal, giving themselves the opportunity of meeting other students and becoming oriented to the clubs. The final part of the program was a meeting for those students who planned to attend the Cuyamaca leadership conference. The Council started planning for this activity early in July. It felt that by making students realize that they are welcome at the college and that the organizations are dependent upon their support for success, they would become interested in the college activites.
