Curtain rises at 8:00 Thursday for Drama's mythology satire Theater-goers will see a spectacle of more than several aspects when THE WARRIOR'S HUSBAND plays Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and December 7, 8, and 9 in P- 33, the Drama Lab. The curtain will rise at 8:00 p.m. The play, a lampoon by Julian Thompson, pits Hercules and his band of Greeks against the awesome legions of the Amazons in a version of the myth turned so topsy turvey that the aneient men of Helespont probably couldn't even recognize it. Viewers will understand why, then, at the beginning alone they discover that the elders of Ponteus, the kingdom of the Amazons, are tinkering with the idea of pushing men's rights, and that Hercules is a towering, but cowering chicken, and Heather Hodson, freshman from Valley Center, has been named Queen of the 1966 Basketball Tournament to be held at Palomar this week.
Freshman Heather named •66 Queen _Heather Hodson, 19 year old freshman from Valley Center, has been voted by the 1966 basketball squad to reign as queen over the Eighth Annual Basketball Tournament.

The tournament will run from Wednesday through Saturday. Highlighting the four-day event will be the Letterman's Club dance Friday which will feature Beat, Inc., Steve Kahler, and Kahler's "Go- Go" girls. Other activities during the tournament include the opening tournament ceremony on Wednesday evening and an awards ceremony following the championship game Saturday night. The entire tournament has been dedicated "In Memoriam" to former Palomar President Phil Putnam, instructors Dwight H. Boehm and Kenneth W. Grisingher, and former student Lt. Cmdr. John Tunnell, U.S.M.C., killed while serving his country in Viet Nam. these four men died during the past tournament year.

Because of her attendance at the California Junior College Student Government Association convention in San Francisco, the editor will be relieved of publication duties.
Homer is a shrewd public relations man. Tl)e costuming and stage props for this spoof of the ancients and the sexes in general, promises to be a delight to the eye, as well as a display of authenticity. The costumes of velvets and terry cloth have a color span from metallic greens, to golds, and to hues of regal red and blue. These creations are the work of Kellie Eiland, aided by the females of the cast. The theater in the round will be furnished with careful facsimiles of the period's furniture. The furniture, as well as the elaborate arms and armor of the opposing armies, were created by lighting and sound technician and lab assistant Larry Hunter's woodworking crew drawn from cast members.
Forum attracts few for dra.ft discussion Fifteen to twenty students attended the third Forum session, held in F- 22 Wednesday noon. There was no official speaker with Mark Violet acting as moderator. The topic for this month's discussion was the draft. The conversation centered around the fairness of the draft with opinion being split on this subject. Only one female¡ attended the meeting, a woman whose son had been drafted. The other members of the Forum were all young male students ranging from one who had just recieved his induction notice to those who were completely behind the idea of the draft. Surprisingly, there were reportedly no veterans of the armed services at the meeting.

Runners' last effort below par at Pierce Unable to produce the needed amount of power in the Southern California J.C. Finals, Palomar's mighty cross country team failed to place among the top five teams, therbylosingtheirchance for competing in the State meet. The 3:30 meet was held at Los Angeles Pierce College in Woodland Hills. The over-all excellence of the team seemed to be at a low; none performed as well as expected. Dave Funderburk came in first for Palomar but ranked 27th in the meet. Rick Fox was the next Comet runner to cross the finish line. in 48th place, followed by Bill Brown, 52, Frank Lomeli, 56, and Jim Adkins, 70. Felipe Serrato, 87, and Sal Castro, 92, were the last two runners but the results were tallied with only the top five finishing positions. Palomar's total score was 253. Mt. San Antonio College with -88 points took the race. Second went to Pasadena with 96 points. Pierce college, the host school, managed to come in third with 104 points. Fourth went to Long Beach City College with 139 points, followed by Palomar's PSC rival, Grossmont, which took fifth place with 141 points. Palomar came in ninth out of the 16 schools participating. The top ten individual winners were 1- Cadena, Bakersfield; 2- Alpizar, Long Beach; 3- Brang, Mt. SAC; 4- Mil- ¡ lehe, Long Beach; 5- Wilkinson, Grossmont; 6- Gomez, Pasadena; 7- Cooney, Pierce; 8- Krohn, Pierce; 9- Lawson, Grossmont; 10- Fister, Fullerton. Perhaps a major factor in the Comets' downfall was that the team had run very few meets during the entire season, all but one, the Aztec Invitational, being dual meets. With sixteen teams running at one time on a narrow track throughout most of the course, the runners found the race mentally confusing. Theil main concentration was keeping their balance; around corners runners were slipping and falling off the track while others used out-stretched arms to keep the person in front of them from falling back on them. Even the finish was conjested with runners piling up in the chute. Eligibility for the meet was being one of the top three teams in each league. Also, there were six individual entrants, outstanding runners from teams that did not qualify for the meet.

8th annual basketball tourney will feature top J C teams Tomorrow morning at 9:30 in the Dome is the opening of the 1966 Palomar Invitational Basketball Tournament, which will feature some of the top Junior College basketball teams in the State. The 8th Annual double elimination tournament will run continuously for four d~ys with the championship games and consolation games scheduled to wind up the Tournament Saturday night. Sixteen teams, including last year's defending tournament winner and State JC champs, Riverside City College Tigers, will be highlighted in this year's tournament. Pasadena City College and Imperial Valley prove to be the feature in the opening day classic. The opening game pits MiraCosta against Fullerton at 9:30. Following is a rundown of the openinground pairs: Game one, 9:30 a.m. (MiraCosta vs Fullerton) Eastern Conference representative Fullerton could prove to be trouble against the Spartans, who have their strongest entry in several seasons. Game Two, 11:10 a.m. (San Diego Mesa vs Mt. San Jacinto) The San Diego Mesa Olympians cleaned up in recruitingfrom the San Diego city high schools and will prove to be powerful. But Mt. San Jacinto gave unbeaten Imperial Valley its closest regular season test last year, losing to the Arabs by one-point in overtime. Game Th:r:ee, 12:50 p.m. (San Diego City College vs Riverside City College) This game matches San Diego's incomparable Charlie Buchanan, the SDCIF Player of the Year a couple of seasons back, against the three-time defending state champion Bengal Tigers. The Tigers are reportedly "loaded for bear." Game Four, 2:3U p.m. (Grossinont vs Ventura) Ventura's classy Pirates will be up against the veteran Grossmont team that has 14 of 15 lettermen returning from a strong 19 65 - 66 squad. Ex-SD-CIF Player of the Year Dan Robertson and team mates figure to be
in the midst of the battle for tournament honors this time around. Game five, 4:14 p.m. (Southwestern vs Hancock) The Hancock Bulldogs are bringing one of their strongest teams in years, and that is really saying quite a bit; the Bulldogs have made it to the finals two years in a row. The Apaches from Southwestern have several returning monogram winners, but are counting heavily on freshman 6-7 center Lewis Wooten. Game Six, 5:45 p.m. (Citurs vs Coalinga) This intersectional game matches powers from Southern and Central California. These could be two of the surprise teams of the tourney play. Game Seven, 7:30 p.m. (Pasadena vs Imperial Valley) The Pasadena Lancers, powered by 6-8 high school All-American and two-time LA City Player of the Year Sam Robinson from Jefferson High, is coached by Jerry Tarkanian who coached the Riverside Tigers and guided them to three straight state JC titles. Imperial Valley will prove to be a tough one to handle. The Arabs placed third in the state tourney last year and was one of the nation's two unbeaten JC's during the regular season (the other one was Wilson Branch of Chicago, . Ill.) The winner of this game culd very well be the Tournament winner, the "Game of the Day." Game Eight, 9:15 p.m. (Palomar vs Merritt) The tall Thunderbirds (seven players 6-5 or over) aren't making the trip south just for sightseeing; they are talking "state title" in Oakland. The host Comets, led by 6-6 former Iowa All-Stater Dennis VanZandt, figure to be no slouch. The Comets will throw at the Thunderbirds the biggest team since the days of John Farichild and Jon Stanley. "This should be the best tournament yet," said Comet coach and co-tournament director Joe Brennan, "and we've had some fine ones in the past." Capacity crowds are expected for most night sessions.
