CJCSGA representatives meet, discuss problems during conference San Francisco was the site of the 42nd Bi-Annual California Junior College Student Government Association Conference which forwarded over 25 resolutions to its parent body, California Junior College Association. The three-day conference was held at the Hilton Hotel Thursday through Saturday. Delegations from almost eighty schools attended with 400 to 500 students and 150 faculty advisors present. The Palomar delegation and their workshops were Steve Wozniak, President's, Penny Hill, The Changing Student; Bill Mason, Philosophy and Function of Student Government, and Mark Violet. Campus Currents. CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES Controversial issues were covered during the final general assembly Saturday and positive statements were made about them. Moved by Palomar and seconded by Chaffey was a resolution stating that the "CJCSGA go on record in favor of legislative review of present drug laws." This, the students felt, was greatly needed because of certain inequities and misunderstandings in the laws such as the legal classification of marijuana as a narcotic when it is not so classified medically. The punishment for posession of "minor" or less harmful drugs showed no differentiation from "hard" drugs in the laws. Feeling that the possibility existed that changes in laws concerning drug use were necessary to cope with change in attitudes and the emergence of new scientific data, the body approved the resolution
61 pro, 6 con , 3 abstentions. It originated in the Changing Student workshop. SOCIAL PROBLEMS Another vital issue was the importance of having open discussions on campus about current social problems including sex morals, drug addiction. and drinking which were not adequately covered in Health classes. The organization resolved that it be "in favor of holding informal student discussion groups to discuss these major social problems that face the college student today; and ... having faculty members present at these group discussions included in an advisor guidance capacity." The resolution from the Changing Student workshop, moved by Cerritos and seconded by Mt. San Antonio, was approved by unanimous consent. In a 43- 20- 2 decision, a San Mateo/ Ventura resolution was passed which stated that "CJCSGA go on record in favor of formation of a Governmental Commission to determine the criteria to be used to qualify other national service organizations as alternatives to military service; and . . . that the resolution be forwarded to President Johnson's Advisory Committee on the draft." Alternatives to military service included Vista, Peace Corps, and other nonmilitary service organizations. This was from Campus Currents.

Jprzng nurszng classes cancelled Despite speeded up preparations. comm mity support, lining up nursing instructors. and efficient curriculum planning, Palomar' s request for shortening a one- year waiting and planning period to institute a nursing program was denied by the State Board of Nursing Educ~tion and Nursing Examiners Wednesday . Preparing for an affirmative vote, the administration included classes in nursing for its fall curricula schedule and had nursing instructors lined up for employment. The school received official notice Monday that their request had been turned down. The Board did, however, approve Palomar's Registered Nursing A.A. degree program although it "would not waive
the one-year planning period," according to President Frederick R. Huber. The college asked to begin its program in February but the Board stayed with its regulation that requires one year of planning from the time a Departmental Head of Nursing is hired. The college, stated Dr . Huber, will probably ask the nursing students to complete their General Education classes in the spring and then start with an orientation program and hospital nursing training July 1. There will be a meeting for all prospective nursing students December 15 in T- 33 at 11:00 which has been called for by Mary Fulton, department head. Rescheduling and immediate alternatives will be discussed.

This is an responsibility of the college to the public which cannot be postponed." Dr. Huber presented expansion facts to the board, He pointed out that the present college maximum enrollmt~nt of 2800 will be reached in 1968 and that 5000 students are expected to be enrolled in day classes in less than 10 years.
