Winners and losers reviewed this term The TELESCOPE'S editorial page featured reviews of every type this fall including five movie reviews and book, play and concert reviews.

Current and past, Oscar-winning and Oscar-losing, adventure and drama were featu red in movie reviews.

Current shows which attract the college set included "The Wild Angels," which played throughout North County both before and after being reviewed, and "The Swinger," which is currently playing in North County.

Academy winners "Zorba the Greek," and "The Sound of Music" (both are still being shown in San Diego) are older movies reviewed for the benefit of those who have still not seen them.

The Al'fred Hitchcock drama "Torn Curtain" was given a critical review while playing in the North County.

Other types of reviews included a book review on "The Great Escape," which is still considered a best seller. This book was compared to the movie of the same title.

Reviews on an Old Globe play, "The Subject Was Roses," as well as a Duke Ellington concert, were also feature d.

The only television preview (an up:::oming attraction) was a Charlie Brown 3pecial on "The Great Pumpkin."

The editor and the news

By Penny Hill In a flash of light this idea cam? to me: what if the bo::1d isswe falls?

The po3sibHity is overw}lelming; fro~n a co:1servative comm 1 "llty comer; d-:>Ub': anj hesitan·:!y.

Only by active stu::lent, faculty, and administration work can this vital issue be passed.

Students are wr.:ll aw:::tre that the college is in need of expansion. Palom:u has been rated as o:1e of the to;> junior colleges in the country by being h::>:1ored with a third of the Navy Departmtmt•s exp·e rimfmtal stu::ly program. Byplaci.ng 25 navy mt:n on campus to learn and to enrich themselves, the government has given a vote of ap;>roval to this campus.

Functio~1ing in limited space and wUh several inadequate facilities, Palomar has do:1e an excellent job.

But wi.th the continually gro-.ving en-rollm<:mt, how long can the college do an efficient job?

Cramped q;1arters and limited facilities soon wi.ll inhibit the college's progress and efficiency.

The results of passage of the bond issue wi.ll be stretched over many years and gradually will m <:!et the needs of this growing campus. How·~ver, there is even a more i'tnmediate issae which is eq.1ally--or at this mo ment--more vital to us as students.

This is the tax over-ride.

If this issue fails, the college will h'lve to meticulously consider the mt~rits of each academic program and from this evaluation, cut back in those areas that it consider.;; less vital.

But h::>w can any part of this college be co.1sidered less vital than anothgr?

The vo~ational e:t.1catio:1 departmnnt is exhibiting a yeast-like growth. The fine arts with its new comp:ex are producing

new and exciting programs like rabbits produce young. The drama department has needs which are growing each sem r: ster in order to co:1tin;1•e imp roving its excellen::e.

The old •stand-by" academic programs are e'q)andin.! with each year's increasing en-rollment an::! are offering even mo re interesting aven•les of study to its stu::lents.

If the o;rer-ride fails, som2thing is going to be financially limited, p·e rhaps every program at thr~ co~lege, for that seems- to b·e th<3 o:1ly fair way to distribute the b:.trden of cut-back fun:is.

Do w·~ as students wtsh to see the college first. limited in fun:is that wo:.tld prohibit the natural colleg'~ expansio.1. and secon:i, denie:i the right of expa.'lding as a result of a bo:1d-issue failure?

I hardly think this is our wish.

It is o:.~r resp:msibility to investigate the programs offered un-:l erth= Master Plan, p·e njing passage of the b:nd issue.

We must arouse enthusiasm ~or these programs in others--those with vo~ing p ower--and convince th=m that ths se programs are vital to the college and benefici.al to the community.

Fall commentary featured cross section . . of student op1n1on on campus Nearly 60 students were chosen at random during the fall semeste r and voiced their opinion on a controversial subject in STUDENT COMMENTARY. A close analysis of COMMENTARY shows a cross-section of interviewees with different backgrounds and interests.

Steve Woodall: This column will, I suppose, be a regular feature--unless the Neilson Rating people (twelve soybean farmers in Visigoth. Maine) can think of some way to cancel it, a possibility which I doubt, but haven't discounted altogether.

It will consist of non-erudite discussion of music, fads, New Movements, me, you, other strange people, and whatever other subjects happen to occur to me. Yes I know, What ho Horatio! and like that, so let's get on with it.

There is something happening to music.

I'm not sure how it started, but it seems we're in the middle of a rennaissance of sorts. The classifications are shifting.

Rock. folk, blues, and jazz are all merging into one big sound.

And it is a very exciting thing. The Paul Butterfield Blues Band is a case in point: I'm feeling bad, really bagged out. An all-around bad scene, depression. But I know what do do. I listen to a Paul Butterfield Blues Band recording. I put on "East-West" and turn the volume high.

Forget neighbors, forget that weird, scuzzy, neurotic dog who's hiding under the 1959 hrown naugahide sofa.

This is The World, all the soul and vibration. What sound, what e lectricity.

What therapy.

Ah Mr. Poobah but you may ask what is this . This is amplified blues and yet it is essential mean low-down (for

you, me, and other strange people want of better terms) blues like the blues of Muddy Waters and Big Mama Thornton (the people who purist critics writing in jazz magazines label "authentic.")

But Paul Butterfield used all these ·electric, thumping, twanging things. And I am rocking out, despite myself.

All this bears a marked resemblance to the Top 40 Rolling Stones hard rock syndrome.

At least the sound the instruments make is similar; the group is unquestionably rock-oriented. But there are also the basic elements of jazz-notably, improvisation.

This is especially apparent in the group's instrumental adventures, one of which, "East-West'" -- the album's title track-is really remarkable. There is East Indian music, country music, blues and other influences I can' t put my finger on woven into it. And it rocks.

And out there in the Elektra Records recording studio there is musical hysteria. l\1ike Bloomfield has voluntary muscle spasms all over his guitar. Paul Butte rfield blows his mind r ight through those little square holes in his harmonica. And the rest of the people just keep pounding it out.

Soul Power.

When the r ecord clicks off-- zappo!-depression has been replaced with inspiration.

I will sit down and write something wierd: shriek big zero shriek shriek shriek

scream and rant fo r pain s uffe r suffer orange purple violet red swim float here comes green--it's wild-- and a big snowman hey eddie hey eddie hey eddie hold it there right big sam; paul butterfield plays hohner harmonicas Spread the word, o teen hippies.

Sports Talk

By BUZZ PONCE From the archives of Palomar's 1966 fall athletic season come such noteworthy remembrances as the Comet crosscountry squad literally running past San Diego City, Mesa and Southwestern Colleges and Palomar's football eleven being put down on seven of nine occasions.

While the grid team was the most upsetting thing to happen to this writer since new leaked out that Ronald Reagan won by a landslide, the Comet's 2-7 record is devieving. As the San' Marcos-based team disposed of Mira Costa and Imperial Valley, Palomar could easily have registered victories over Compton and San Bernadino if the blue-bird of luck had flown up the team's nose on more than rare situations. If the Comet's had gained these two wins their reading would have been a more respectable 4-5 and perhaps less would have been said about the terrible Grossmont mishap.

The local harrier out-fit fought through a successful campaign, thanks mainly to the guidance of Larry Knuth. Thoughts of a state championship turned out to be only thoughts, however, when their number one runner was injured, and the team fell by the way-side to a powerful Grossmont Griffin entanglement.

Randy Hartman, Dave Funderburk and Jim Adkins proved to be a formidable trio to opponents as they consistently ran 1-2-3. After Hartman was forced to drop off the squad because of a leg injury, fortunes for the future were

dimmed considerably.

Joe Brennan's basketball spectacular the eighth annual Palomar Invitational, was considered by the experts to be one of the finest of its kind in the Golden State. Certainly Brennan should be apauded for his tremendous efforts and hopes are head high that he plans to have a ninth annual.

While the hardboard quintet showed to the fans that it has a freshman scoring :nachine in the likes of Jay Bunker, and a couple of sturdy veterans with Blair Smith and Leroy Putnam on hand, its early-season progressionchart isn't overly impressive. Things that should be taken into consideration however, are that the Comets faced some of the stiff:est competitiont seen in California junjC.mior-college play. Also, with the exception of Imperial Valley, teams in the Pacific Southwest Conference will not be as tough as some of the squads that racked Palomar earlier this year.

Prognostications from this corner as to how the Comets will fare in league competition are that they will have rough going but will hold their own in a very tough and experienced basketball conference. The league championship should go to highly-tooted Imperial Valley.

From the athletic view-point, the fall semester at Palomar provided the usual thrills and disappointments. However, its heard througm the grape-vine that Rusty Myers is planning an even better spring semester.

Wiebe Named Head Coach; McGehee Goes To Arizona Head football coach Cecil McGehee has resigned from the Palomar College faculty and coaching roster.

Line Coach Mack Wiebe will succeed McGehee as the new Head Coach for the Comets this year. A new football staff member will be sought to become an assistant to Wiebe.

McGehee's resignation will be effective January 26, the end of the fall semester, enabling him to accept the post of backfield coach at the University of Arizona in Tuscan.

Until the time that McGehee does report to the University, he will he a recruitor of top junior college and high school players. The university would

like to recruit 15 top players from the Southern California area, reported McGehee. The University of Arizona offers many advantages to the new football players who go there , one of themt being. the new 40,000 seat stadium on campus. The University also offers one of the best scholarship programs in the Western Athletic conference.

McGehee joined the Palomar staff in 1962 as assistant football coach and head baseball coach, stepping up to the head coaching position in 1965. Before coming to Palomar, McGehee was coach at Escondido High School in 1961 and 1962.

Top western civilization students honored at December banquet

Donna Davison crowned queen before record 280 crowd

Photo by Charles Smith Donna Davison and escort Jay Ahrend dropped all appearances of calmness when Donna was named Queen.

The crowning of Miss Donna Davison as 1966 Christmas Queen highlighted Palomar's seventh annual Christmas Formal December 20. Held amidst the regal splendor and elegance of the Stardust Hotel, this year's dance was very successful with over 140 Palomar students and their guests attending.

Because of the Christmas Formal committee's tremendous job of carrying the dance through, the ASB took the initiative of ordering hors d'oeurves for the dance. These consisted of cheese or caviar on bread or crackers and deviled eggs. Punch was also served.

Decorated in the Snowflakes and Sleighbells theme with red paper bells, white paper snowflakes, red and white streamers, and sprigs of pine, the Starlight Room conveyed the mood of Christmas.

Patty Stimmel, sophomore, was in charge of decorations.

Dance pictures may be picked up in the Student Activities Office.

As the coronation time neared, the band played a fast "Jingle Bells" while Santa Clause circulated among the fruging couples bestowing candy canes to all who deserved them.

(Criteria was whether they had been good during the past year.)

At 11:00 Dean Robert Bowman, student activities, introduced the queen candidates who were escorted forward by their dates.

Following this introducation, Santa Clause (Dr. George B. Toll) crowned Miss Davison with a rhinestonestudded tiara and a kiss.

Performing first was the chorus , singing portions of Antonio Vivaldi's "Gloria." Student soloists Patti Peterson, Brian Brusseau and Dave Breeze also sang and Stanford finished off by having both students and faculty join in singing Christmas carols.

Following the chorus' performance, the band played lively Christmas music for the remainder of the show.

Fall assemblies and lectures range from new student to song Palomar was fortunate to have many outstanding speakers and entertainers this semester who addressed the student body during the assembly hour on Fridays. .

S~arting the year off, Dr. Frederick Hube r gave the annual Convocation at the first assembly. He preceeded the humanities lecture series, which this fall examined "The New Student," by speaking on the Silent Generation.

With such a distinguished speaker as Dr. Warren B. Martin inaugurating the humanities series, it was sure to be a successful, thought-provoking series.

Dr. Martin, of the University of California at Berkeley, encouraged students to seek a "new humanism with great capacity for change and a truely tolerant and encouraging enviornment for individualism."

At the third assembly the second segment of the humanities was present and featured Dr. W. H. Cowley from Stanford University. Dr. Cowley's subject

ASB secretary Atilano is semester sweetheart Circle K recently elected Rosie Atilano, sophomore secretarial business major, as sweetheart of the semester.

was "student unrest as it pertains to the new student." He declared that student protests were centuries old and gave stories and examples to prove his point.

He also compared today's student revolts to those in past centuries, stressing the question, "Do you learn at the end of each cycle how to cope with the next?"

Our fourth assembly presented Dr. Alex C. Sherriffs who described 1966 as the year with the silent majority and the year without democracy. Dr. Sherriffs gave examples of situations where the majority refrained from speaking out, and people got hurt. His comment was, "Usually society can afford these people (described in the situation) because the majority will take care of it . . . but in 1966 the majority of us aren't functioning at all."

Charles E. King performed at the first entertainment assembly of the year, prefacing his inspirational program with humorous anecdotes of his family. His fourth appearance won great appreciation and acceptance from the majority of the students.

The annual Christmas assembly concluded the list of assemblies to date, a total of six in all.

The humanities lecture series will continue in the 1967 spring semester with "The New Student" theme. Upcoming speakers include Dr. Thomas L. Gillette, a sociology instructor at San Diego State College, scheduled to speak on February 10. Dr. David L. Cole, speaking from the field of psychology will lecture February 24. Dr. Cole is a psychology instructor from Occidental College in Los Angeles.

Demonstrator lectures to English students During an English 1- A class late last week, Richard Peacock announced that instead of the regular January 17 class meeting, the students would hear Bradford Cleavland, a participant in the Berkeley student revolts of September 1965.

The presentation will be open to both Peacock's and Peter Bellington's English classes and will be held in P-32 at 11:00.

Cleavland, currentiy a sociology teaching assistant at the University of California at San Diego, wrote certain chapters in a book about &,tudent revolts. The book is being used in some of the English 1-A classes as a study guide. The book is said to have crystalized the thinking of the students before the revolt.
