Freslunan Editors Head Publications They said it couln't be done. but the Freshman class will be wall represented this semester for th.e TELESCOPE and FOCUS, Jerry Guevara has taken over the reins ~s the editor of the TELESCOPE this semester. Guevara is a freshm3.n Journalism major who hopes to become a television sportscaster after attending San Jose State. He served on the paper staff last semester as Sports Editor. Guevara is also a sports reporter for the TIMES ADVOCATE in Escondido. Campus activities that Guevara participates in are the Veterans Club of which he is the past Publicity Officer and the newly proposed Press Club. He also serves as an ex-officio member of the Student Council. As editor Guevara plans ''to attain a higher readership by appealing to a broader audience through broader news coverage and pictures.'· The paper will r etain last semester's size format. The editorship of FOCUS has recently been divided by a thin red tape. Phyllis Stover is one ''half'' of the co-
ents wishing to offer their services. Dr. Huber greeted the modest crowd of two hundred students and vistors saying. "I'm glad to see you who are here, maybe you are the workers." He pointed out the need fo r an as- sembly to info r m the students of the purpose of the bond issue and the possible effects of its failure or sucess. The fund s produced by the bond issue would be used by the college in seven increments as the contruction p r ogram progessed. Dr. Huber described those facilities to be financed by the bond issue in accordance with the maste r building plan: A new librar v building to be be · located behind the p resent Student Union, paramedical instruction facilities. industrial tee hnology building. a new graphic arts building and an additional record building. Dr. Huber cited the need for the new construction in view of all fo reseeable contingencies in the college 's futu re . The present facilities a r e designed he said, fo r 2,800 students . Last fall there was an enrollment of 2,200. With a projected rate of 300 per year, present capacity will be filled in 19 C:: 9, and ten years f rom now Palomar will expect a student body of 6,800. Dr. Huber pointed out the need for specialized facilties . "These facilties are even found as orginal equipment on new campuses today. " This category the President included the buildings for industrial technology . graphic arts, and the stadium. Considering the possibility of changing Palomar to a four year college . Dr . Hu ber said, "Palomar could never become a four year college." When a fou r year college is needed in the North County. he said, uthere will still be a .1eed for the junior college. Since Palomar is an institution built and desfo r the aid of its community over a span of more than twnety years , why should such hard work be sacrificed in a conversion to a four year program ." The budget cut proposed by Govenor Reagan was another que stion Dr. Huber discussed as a factor in the bond election. Dr. Huber said a cut in the junior college budget of ten percent would deprive Palomar of S240,000 to $25,000 and would mean ''no new teachers next year and no new growth'· at a period of vas tly increased admissions pressure from the overflow from fou r yea r colleges. Dr. Huber predicted such an overflow would "raise our annual growth from 300 - 700." The president closed his message with a note of optimism. "There is no right time to ask for money. I know now is a tough time for money," he admitted. He countered that statement saying ,' 'What the college has to offer and what we wish to do now has not been criticized.'' The ten per cent override property tax, the prsident ventured, was not too m·1ch to ask of the taxpayer. . "That would mean," he explained, "an additional $12.50 tax on a $12,000 house." Pointing to Palomar's contributions to the community and continuing cooperation with the community, Dr. Huber said he is reasonably hopeful the bond isse will gain the 66 2/ 3 majority it needs to pass .
